Comment:
Do not take him unless you are an english major. You will sit in class and wonder why you are even there. devotes entire class meetings to useless "discussions"that are sometimes inappropriate for school and pointless. Does not plan lectures ahead of time and tends to "wing it" by reading passages aloud and then forcing discussion. do not recommend

Comment:
5H is based on literary analysis, so if you do not enjoy writing Lit papers turn back now! That being said 5H was a pretty good class. The books that Dr. Bryson assigns are the most interesting books I've read in quite some time. Dr. Bryson's lectures on the material were also pretty great. However, he is a harsh grader, so follow all suggestions!

Comment:
He expects you to follow directions and do what you are told, which is not necessarily bad. He intends to have you do what he wants how he wants it. He can be vague, but you are allowed to ask as many questions as you would like. He is tough on grading, but his feedback is helpful. READING IS ESSENTIAL.

Comment:
Bryson's class was pretty difficult, but he helped me become a better writer. He is very specific of how he wants things done, and doesn't really give room to be creative. That being said, make sure you do all the reading assignments and be prepared to work hard.

Class was really fun and engaging. He's a great professor. I'm a really confident writer but he made my abilities even stronger. Picked some awesome literature to be covered in class, almost all were interesting. You should be ORIGINAL in class during discussions, he's more interested in good discussion with you than talking about the same stuff.

Comment:
With other professors if they’re fussy about your work or criticize you, most of the time you’ll concede they have a point but with but he would take issue with petty details and often not even try to understand you. He doesn’t just make hurtful comments to his students he will allow other students to attack each other. Class is mostly discussion.

This class was easier than any high school class that I took, including AP Lit. He is a tough grader on essays, but he is fair and his critique makes you a better writer. Always read for the assigned reading, because he will quiz you. The reading quizzes are really easy points.

Comment:
This may be tough for some people, but always do the assigned readings. He quizzes you on it every morning. The questions aren't difficult if you're fully prepared. He grades hard on the essays but he is fair about it. There is also a group web project near the end of the semester and he will expect A LOT on that, so manage your time well.

Comment:
Dr. Bryson is a great professor. You really have to do the readings though and insure that it is careful and detailed reading because he will quiz you every class on every reading. As long as you do the readings and participate, you will enjoy the class. He is very helpful and always makes himself available for questions.

Comment:
Dr. Bryson was, by far, one of my favorite English teachers. He is very helpful and really picks apart novels; giving them a whole new meaning. As long as you do the homework, come to class, show some interest, and get involved in his discussions, you will do great in the class.

You learn a lot from Scott's classes. Just make sure you follow his instructions completely and entirely. He is also very helpful with assignments, if you ask ahead of time. Never miss a class.

Tough grader, but he taught me a lot. I think he's a great teacher and his grading isn't too bad if you read what he tells you to. The quizzes aren't hard at all. Just basic stuff.
