Comment:
Brink literally reads his lecture, which is boring, but does not allow more than a few absences without explanation. All tests are 80 mult. choice and are right from the book, so read carefully. Lectures are from the book, but not in depth enough for test material. Writing assignments are easy. Don't put off book reading- ch.'s are longtedious

Comment:
Professor Brink is an amazing man. He is so passionate about what he does and he really makes his classes interesting. He shows many movie clips, which really helped me remember concepts, because he was showing real life situations. His tests are fairly easy. The only bad thing is that you only get four grades, which are all tests. So if you bomb..

Comment:
Very, very smart. Nice guy. Doesn't use powerpoints in 311, so taking notes can be hard. He goes through things pretty quickly. He is willing to repeat himself without making you feel badly. Material can be hard, but he knows what he's talking about. Overall, good prof.

Brink is probably one of the best profs. He is extremely helpful. You have to study for the tests, so read through the chapters and do the online quizzes. He uses videos in almost every lecture to show examples, and they are really helpful actually. He makes a 75 min class fell like a 50. great guy, take him.

If you are an upperclassman, this class is very very easy. Read the text chapters and do the online quizzes to prepare for the tests, and you will get an A if you read with any sort of retention at all.

Easiest class I have ever taken! He shows a lot of videos in class and his lectures are pretty interesting. All of his tests are multiple choice and the only homework for the class are five 1-page papers throughout the semester. SUPER EASY! Just do the reading before the test and you'll definitely get a good grade.

Brink is an awesome prof. A bit goofy at times, which is entertaining, but class is interesting and test are mostly from the book terms, not too difficult, and curved nicely. Not too much homework either, but still learned alot.

Brink is great! He talks really fast and his lecture style is pretty much straight talking without interaction. But he makes lectures interesting, and you get to take personality tests in class! Pretty sweet! I totally recommend this prof and class.
