Comment:

His exams are a solid 15 pages so when he says study, he means study and you still might fail. He is not a bad person but not a great teacher. He moves quick through the slides, there isnt room for discussion, and you have a lot homework and assignments. Your grade heavily relies on the exams. Take the class if you have to not cause you want to.

Comment:

He is one of my favorite professors this semester. Literally all you need to do is be respectful and do tour work, aka be a student. Literally the easiest A, you have to try harder to fail the class than to pass it. His lectures are not boring. He is such a nice person and professor. Reflection paper for credit is required, 2 pages only.

Breslin is a little nutty, but he isn't bad. Make sure you do all the assignments (2 pages means 2 pages). Take all the extra credit opportunites.

Comment:

Professor Breslin Knows his material, however, he wants the homework done a specific way and if it is not done a specific way, you will get a lot of points taken off, and if you get the chance to get extra credit, do so because it will save you. Readings are long so be prepared to read.

Comment:

Breslin is a great professor. He may come off a little harsh but he genuinely cares about his students doing well. You do need to study for his exams in order to do well (which shouldn't be that surprising this is college...) and he usually givrs opportunities for extra credit. I graduated last May and he was my most memorable professor!

Comment:

This professor is very helpful and wants his students to pass. Apart from the weekly DBs, there are a few research papers due throughout the semester. Keeping up with the weekly readings and papers can get a bit overwhelming but once you reach out to the professor, he is more than willing to grant reasonable extensions to complete papers.

He might be a tough teacher but he really wants his students to learn and do well. Very clear with all the homework assignments. Gives at least 20 points of extra credit which is very helpful!

I'm in his 2:00 o'clock Mon & Wed class. Professor Breslin is a guy with an interesting sense of humor who will never put you to sleep in class. Does he say some goofy things? Yes. But for everything he says he does put some smirks on peoples faces which keep them focused on him. He is very knowledgeable and defiantly knows his stuff.

Professor Breslin is not a favorite among the students, and he knows it, but he does a good job with this course. Lots of material is covered so you best not miss a class. TAKE THE NIGHT CLASS!!!! You will not want to meet with Professor B more than once a week. Make sure to read the textbook, powerpoints, and DO EXTRA CREDIT!! You have to try!

Had to take the night class and seriously wanted to jump off a building every time I went. I thought the material was interesting but he just didn't help you learn it in any way. Sucks though because he is the only on who teaches the class...

Comment:

Professor Breslin is excellent. I take a media ethics class online which is tough to teach and he does a great job. Not a tough grader at all, but I can see how students that are low in motivation will not like him. He takes his teaching seriously and you have to put in the work to pass his class. Great experience in his class.

He is a nice person and a funny guy, don't get me wrong. But I bombed. I worked my ass off and still did not do well. I asked him for help, and I didn't get it. I put in so much effort and I just went in circles.

I have a love/hate relationship with this professor. His classes were always very interesting and he had a lot of fun stories to tell during his lectures, but he was a harsh grader, and his exams were super difficult. He also made us purchase his textbook which was incomplete and identical to his powerpoint slides anyway. *facepalm*

Comment:

The problem with Breslin is that he refuses to take any criticism of his teaching seriously. He may know his stuff, but the dude does not care about making the material interesting or relatable. He spends entire classes talking at you & answers his own questions and then wonders why people use their cellphones. Patronizing & condescending.

Tough class. When he gives extra credit take it you'll need it. He is an extremely fair guy and knows his stuff. Don't get on his bad side and put in your 100% and you will pass. He is very comical and like =s to toot his own horn.

Comment:

He compared Mcdonalds to the Military saying the jobs were the same. HOW IN ANY WAY IS THAT THE SAME?? This comment is extremely offensive to our military that risk their lives everyday so that all of us can have our freedom. For a class about ethics, he makes pretty unethical statements. self-centered hypocrite.
