Comment:

She talks SOOOOO much about her own life. There are 4 papers, a midterm paper, and a final paper, and 2 towards the beginning of the semester. Participation is key because she want the class to interact. No notebook or pencil needed. Textbook is unnecessary because she rarely uses it.

Comment:

Brugnola is sooo boring she tells stories but often repeats them. Gives 2 essays (2-4pages) & a final. Easy grade booster & is old school (no technology in class.) She grades mostly on participation. DONT go against any of her views. Just make something up about pro-life, peace & love related & you'll get an A++. Dont get the textbook!

Comment:

She's just straight up boring. All she does is tells stories about her life, which are okay but she sometimes repeats herself. She never gives out homework, maybe one or two essays. Midterm and final are take home. Lectures are boring but the class is an easy A. If you get a low grade on an essay, just say u didnt get it and u can redo it.

Comment:

the worst professor ever. she asks for your opinions and when you give it to her, she criticizes it. she does not teach. she talks about her own life the whole time and puts everyone to sleep. she does not teach and expects the class to know everything.

What she teaches in class and what is on the her tests are not even remotely the same. Class was boring at times but she kept it pretty interesting as well. She's 50/50.

She is one of the most incompetent educators I have ever seen. Do not take her class, it is extremely boring and she seems to have mental issues.

Comment:

Huh? Professor Brugnola is def. not the worst professor! She is a VERY fair grader. She gives a midterm paper and a midterm exam and a final paper and a final exam. She provides you the exact questions for the final exam. No homework assignments, you just need to read the chapters.Her stories are so insightful.She offers many extra credits do those

Comment:

All she discusses in class is her own personal stories in life. You will literally not learn a single thing other than what she has "achieved" in her lifetime. That being said, she expects you to read the book but doesn't go over the material. AVOID.

Worst professor I have every had. I think she a is a little crazy and probably shouldn't be "teaching" if that's what you want to call it.

Comment:

Someone said delusion, I say schizophrenia, she makes up bunch of stories which are not true because I doubt she had 95 different occupations ranging from prison guard to truck driver. Doesn't not teach, only talks about life experience that are meaningless, textbook handy for exam and paper, I suggest you read it in class you can learn on your own

Comment:

here is the honest truth... we barely use the book but i recomend it for the final. she tends to be a hard grader but with the 1000 extra credicts she gives, youll be fine. she comepletly goes off topic(all the time) and class is somewhat boring....but if you want an easy B A take her class. nice lady cool stories...bring a pillow

Comment:

In her Phil. 101 class she does encourage students to think and her topics are sometimes interesting but she makes almost no connections to the book and expects us to teach ourselves- if that's the case why do I need a professor? One bonus: alot of extra credit, take advantage if u must take this class. Boring, useless, and a hard grader.

Comment:

2 paper 2 test (based on textbook) she doesn't teach, only talks about her life experience. REAL boring, I suggest you read text in class you will learn something from that at least. I have a feeling she has schizophrenia or either she makes up stories. I find her to be delusional, no offense.
