Comment:

Professor Breidenbach was incredible. He voices his opinions so clearly, and he makes you think about things that I believe other teachers would be scared to do so. He speaks of raw material, such as the Human Condition. He makes us question life. Honestly the kindest, most genuine professor. I had as a freshman. I admire and respect him so much!

Amazing professor take his class, it is life changing. I never rated a professor before and I am rating him because if you take his class you will not regret it. You will learn a lot of important things, whether or not you agree with his views. He is very eye opening and you will leave his class shook, and question everything you thought you knew.

Amazing teacher! His class was extremely interesting, really made you think about the world in completely different ways. He's super funny and sometimes he talks about really dark things and sort of has an evil laugh but he was definitely a favorite of mine. I still think about his class today.

Comment:

Breidenbach is really a great guy and professor. Sometimes he rips your work to shreds pointing out things that he didn't like or that should be changed, but he really does mean well. When he goes off topic, it's either a funny story or a really dark story that makes you worried about him. All in all, a great experience.

Literally the best professor I've ever had. Pure genius. I am in love with his brain, it's a blessing to have his class. This is not the typical English class but instead a class where I learn how to live and make meaning of life. Please take him. He really is something.

Comment:

This has been the most thought provoking class I have ever taken. Breidenbach makes you question your ideals and constantly reminds us of what is important in life... being lovely human beings. This class essentially made me do some soul searching and discover that society is misguided and as a community we should do our own research.

Tom is truly beautiful in mind, body, and spirit. He is a wonderful professor who is not afraid to challenge his students to be better. Taking creative writing with him was a great decision, and I will truly miss him and his class <3

Best professor I've ever had. He opened my mind so much. I'd love to take another class with him. The class itself is really easy and he assigns only three papers the entire course. Excellent professor. He's wonderful and insightful.

Great professor. Covers topics that matter and sparks great class discussion. He is very understanding. Gave two papers and a midterm and final. Would definitely recommend. Class is much more important that just learning writing skills. Again great professor.

One of the best professors that I have ever had at Pace. Not only are his topics interesting, they are very relevant to the current times. There were 3 papers and he gave chances to turn in drafts so that you can get a better grade. He is very helpful and dedicated to make his students better writer and overall a better person. TAKE THIS CLASS.

One of the best classes I've ever taken. Has a neat and interesting selection of poetry each week, he gets the class involved and interested in one another's works. His class shaped me as a writer, student, and general human being. Definitely take a class with him.

Comment:

I have learned so much about how humans think in this class. The class is so interesting and I would highly suggest taking it. Just a heads up, we talk a lot about September 11th, human sacrifice, and the whole theme is on Mimetic Desire. I personally found it super interesting and would take the class again

AMAZING professor,he cares more about of your feelings and the contents for your paper than giving you a bad grade because you didn't type something correctly.And in the case you need help with grammar, he will personally sit down with you and helpwith every note he gave, and give you a chance or two to revise it. he loves when you participate too.

Comment:

This guy is the man. Sweet heart of a person. Not very many papers at all, lets you do a revision for all of them, if you don't walk out with an A, you just probably didn't hand in any work. Too easy of a class, he's a HUGE conspiracy theorist, BUT he has facts to back him up, so in the end you wind up believing that we are being lied to.

I liked the class. My classmates and I have actually become very good friends and still talk about it. Yes, its true all he talks about is conspiracy theories and 9/11 but it's interesting and hes a funny guy. He says he's a hard grader but I came out with an A- without doing 1 paper. He's a great guy, can't wait to buy his book!
