Comment:

He will work you. His class is rewarding, however. He teaches in a direct, sometimes humorous manner. Field days set the mood very well--he puts fake injuries on the "victims" and covers them with fake blood. Since the material is life-or-death, he is a very harsh grader. Don't slack, don't freeze up, do communicate, or else you won't be certified.

Comment:

Briggs has military history, so he teaches like a drill sargent. Although the material learned is useful, he tries to talk in complicated lingo and it makes it difficult to understand what the main point are he is talking about. Seems to favor student. Although I passed this class with a 4.0, I feel like I learned nothing from his teaching style

Briggs loves what he teaches at takes it seriously. He is strict and wants perfection because the material that is being covered can be a matter of life and death. He likes to see that you want to learn. He is a great teacher who wants student to succeed.

Comment:

Expects each student to try their hardest - lots of hands on activities. If you don't work hard and demonstrate confidence and a willingness to work hard, he really comes down tough. However, the skills he teaches are invaluable, and I think EVERYONE should take and pass this class.

Despite his tendency to lapse into deadly seriousness, Briggs is a terrifically helpful instructor (it comes with the territory). Very, very enlightening class and I highly recommend taking it.

Easiest class I've ever taken. You walk in the first day and never have to come back again. You just turn in reports of your activity throughout the quarter 3 times. Everyone can get a 4.0.

I don't know why everyone is so down on this guy. He is super friendly and really wants you to succeed. We had a take-home final which I honestly forgot on the due date, and he let me turn it in the next day. Good teacher.

He expects alot from you. make sure to actually read the text before class, and listen in class. everything will be required knowlege. its fairly intense, but totally worth it. unless you were slacking, he will help you pass physical tests
