Comment:

Dr. Brignall is the best professor that TTU has to offer. He is forward thinking (not liberal) and almost revolutionary in some of his thinking. His classes are difficult and easy at the same time. He knows his enemy, too, so he can argue both sides of the

i Have had Dr. Brignall for all of his classes that he has taught, intro, theory, race and ethnicity, media. highly reccomend any of his classes if you are serious about learning. for those who just want to do nothing then you probably take someone else.

This was a fun class. We learned about the film industry, theories of film, and how society or current events shapes film. I saw tons of films I never heard of before. It was a blast! The papers were challenging but not too difficult.

Great class, where students are allowed to express their perspectives as long as they back things up. I learned a lot.

This teacher has lots to offer students at this university. He is liberal with alot to offer a student that really wants to learn. He is aware of what is happening around the world and is educated beyond his years in his subject.

I suggest taking him if you are a die-hard liberal who loves Michael Moore and enjoys listening to and bashing conservatives. Other than that he is a pretty good teacher. His class is not boring!

I have a love hate relationship with this guy. Write down everything this man says and everything your classmates say. Look up notes on the internet, it is much easier than the books. Do not let him get to you. He's really not the devil like everyone says. Talk even if you don't know what's going on

Comment:

Whoever said he was arrogant is right, but Brignall has a right to be arrogant - he knows his stuff. Don't take him if you want to learn things, or if you are,lazy. People who diss him should look at what they want to get out of college - you should want a prof that knows what he teached like him

Okay! He is a great professor and one of the most intellegent in the Soc Dept. He will help and answer any questions that you have. However, I did not like the class, mainly because of how it is structured. He doesn't lecture, but listens to your opinions on the readings. YOU BETTER TALK TOO!!!
