Comment:

Dr. Briggs is an oddly-intelligent man. His lectures are filled with corny jokes and loves for student participation in discussions. The final exam will be 12-20 pages typed and he loves for groups to make movies as their project.

Absolutely fabulous professor, and has been since at least 1991, when I started taking classes with him.

Comment:

This is really a very interesting class to take if you have the opportunity. Just make sure you don't procrastinate on the work since there is a take home final exam and big project due at the end of the semester, but he gives you those at the beginning of the semester.

Briggs, what a crazy but awesome professor! This class was SO much fun, and no one will ever top our group project :) the final exam (take-home) took a LONG time-don't procrastinate-but it was worth it for such a fun semester watching all of these incredible epics! & if you have the liberty of taking him, make sure you hear the story of Traveller!!

Comment:

I had to take this class for my language requirements, and Professor Briggs made it as tolerable as it could be. Yes, there is work involved, but he is very laidback and has a good sense of humor.
