Bring your laptop. My shoe has a better personality than this guy. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO DO A LOT OF WORK. 2 Book Reviews, a numeracy project, a presentation, midterm and final. His grading system is awful and it takes him all semester to grade it. Boring, arrogrant, annoying and lazy.

DO NOT take this man. He is way to strict of a grader and does not provide feedbac on why you got the grade. I e-mailed him once asking asking what I did wrong and he never responded. He thinks he's so smart and comes off pompous. The class is so boring and latop's are a must.

WARNING!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! Does not give good feedback, and returns grades very late during the semester, and yet not understanding at all! I'm wondering how can SHU have such a bad professor working for them...

Prof has extra credit if you have perfect attendance. He takes too long to grade, and isn't really clear upon assignments. Not a recommendation unles you have great interest in History. class isnt exciting.

This guys sucks. He's a real stubborn **** who grades hard as hell. He attempts to act nice but he probably could care less about the students, not to mention his jokes are bad; he think's he's funny when he's not. Don't take him if you don't have to.

Horrible class. VERY boring, laptop is a must. Does not return assignments and whne he does there is very little feedback. For the book report follow his "guideline" EXACTLY. Very harsh grader, almost to the point where it seems he does not want you to do well. Even open book midterm/final are very hard to do well on. Proceed with caution.

Comment:
He knows his stuff, but he's arrogant and a harsh grader. I only missed 1 class and took excellent notes, often quoting him verbatim. I used those notes on the open book exam and ironically he gave very little credit. He takes forever to grade assignments and his comments are useless. You'll learn a bit, but your GPA will suffer. Try to avoid him.

Don't do it! - he has this fake British accent or something and over exagerates his expertise of everything. Lots of reading, texts for every class and extra novels. He grades hard and doesn't give good feed back on your writing. He's boring and wears the ugliest jackets.

George Browne is an awful professor. He talks and uses powerpoints that mean nothing. He screwed me so badly. He waited until the last day of classes to tell me he was going to fail me for "academic dishonesty" when he never said to cite the sources for a take home midterm exam. He failed 3 other students in the class. Who cites answers for a test?

I put 3 for easiness because I had him for 2 classes...the first one i got a C, the second one i got an A because I figured out how to play his game to get the grade...needless to say, I learned absolutely NOTHING in that class...it's just a lot of boring babble - I did get in some good games of Snood though and some nice sketches (considering they were the only thing in my notebook for that class!!)

Have to do 2 book reports throughout the course of the semester. Uses outlines on overhead for lectures which are boring but helpful for taking notes.

I have taken him 3 times (what was i thinking)..Immigrant life was not so bad..i actually did well + it was really interesting (take it). Now on the other hand Latin America 1 + 2 were horrible! They were boring + I am a history major + i learned nothing from his class. A student can not learn anything if the teacher does not make it interesting!

You won't get less then a B, but he puts the B in "boring". Quizzes are a pain, but you can retake them over and over to get perfect. 2 book reviews, just **** them, take home midterm and take home 70% of the final. HORRIBLE teacher, decent guy.
