Comment:

Stay away from Charlie Braun at all costs. He is late 10-20 every single class. His grading scale online throws your grade off. He doesnt give back tests just your score. He gives out study guides 2 days before before exams and if you have 2 classes with him your exams WILL be back to back days. He is also a really slow grader.

Comment:

Dr. Braun is the absolute worst. Rambles non-stop, making it impossible to follow him in lecture, and tests are made mostly from his lectures. Always late for class, keeps you the whole time, even if you have a 6:30 - 9:00 class.. You wont learn anything, and you will be annoyed out of your mind.

Comment:

Doesn't help. He takes more than a month to grade your work. Doesn't respond to emails and his tests are really tough. 50 multiple choice questions in 50 minutes. Plus a written assignment to each chapter and a quiz (10 true/false questions in 10 minutes). If you can, don't take him

Comment:

This is basically an independent study course rather than an online class. Dr. Braun doesn't provide any notes, PowerPoint slides, or help. You have to read every single page of each chapter in order to have a chance at getting a good grade on any quizzes or tests, which are incredibly detail-oriented. I struggled even after reading every word.

Comment:

Dr. Braun gets a bad rap. Perhaps it's because you do have to come to class and pay attention to pass. A lot of people say his tests are hard, but it's mostly all stuff from lectures. He can be boring, so it might be hard to pay attention. My recommendation is to record his lectures. He's pretty reasonable about grading and stuff. Just pay atention

Comment:

I would never recommend taking this class online with him. All that is required is to takes quizzesexams and do written assignments straight from the book so if you don't learn from just reading you will struggle, which is my situation right now. Also you could do everything with this book at home on your own time than paying to take it online.

avoid taking him at all costs. he's an interesting guy buy tries entirely too hard to turn what should be a simple class into a very tedious and difficult class. He rambles and half of what he says is useless info. his study guides are way too broad and his tests are unnecessarily hard

One of the worst professors I have ever had. You have 40 minutes to answer 50 questions on the exams. Dr Braun is not helpful at all. Avoid taking him.

Dear Braun is knowledgeable, but he wanders off topic...a lot. Try to pay attention though, he finds a way to tie it back into the material and test you on it. Tests are very tricky, but not impossible.

Comment:

This professor explains things well and gives lots of examples to help you apply the material. One downside of this class is that sometimes he gets carried away and loses track of time by 10 minutes or so. The tests also aren't too terribly complicated if you just review the material. This was an enjoyable class overall, and I'd take him again.

Don't take him. I didn't study and got A's on the first two tests and then I started getting 70's when I started studying. His tests are VERY tricky and hard

Comment:

He is at least 10 to 15 minutes late to each class and hold us over. He says we don't have to stay, but he tends to give in class graded assignments after class has technically ended. Most of the test material comes from lecture notes, which he gets horribly off topic. His test questions can be hard to follow. I will never take him again!

Comment:

The guy is unbearably repetitive. Never goes off of examples from Coke, Southwest Airlines, or his home state. Didn't really learn much, but not a hard class. Only real complaint I have is that he comes to class 10-15 minutes late, and keeps us over for usually 10 minutes, when if he got to class on time, that means we'd get out early.

Comment:

He's very knowledgable, and a pretty cool guy, but unfortunately he tends to ramble on and on and on and on about his life story, at first its pretty related to topic, but it can get outta control. The class wasn't hard, I'm sure I could have gotten a much better grade if I'd studied much at all. He also always seems to be slightly late to class.

Comment:

Great professor. Talks..A LOT about useless stuff. Don't make a mistake of thinking you won't get anything out of going to class. 90% of tests come from supplementary info that you can only get in class. He'll repeat the important stuff, then drone on about uselessness, but overall I really liked him. Very knowledgable. DON'T TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS!

Comment:

Online. Braun does not respond to emails. Period. There are no lecture notes or power points. Exams are 50 questions in 40 minutes. He gave us the wrong book to buy and then demanded we by the correct book (so 2 books over $300 together). He sucks. Don't ever take him if you really want to learn anything about the subject.
