and 202,202 and Hist Women Sex & the Family. Sadly the last class is no longer available. Bruno is an awesome teacher - the best I've ever had. Funny, witty, makes lots of jokes and shares hilarious personal experiences. Makes history interesting. Will be retiring soon, so take his classes before he leaves - you won't regret it. Easy grader.

Bruno rocks!! He is so funny and informative in lectures. His classes are totally relaxing and fun to attend. I have taken way more history classes than I needed to just because he is so fabulous! This(2006/2007) will be his last year teaching, so my advice would be to just take any of his classes-you won't be disappointed.

I absolutely adore Mr. Bruno! He is so funny in that dry, sarcastic way and lectures are very interesting. Very lenient grading policy (gotta love that B or better policy) tests are all essay tho so you have to be ok with that format.

Awesome teacher, hilarious guy. Doesn't have any attendance requirements, but this is the kind of class you'll actually WANT to attend because it's actually entertaining. Super laid-back, really knowledgeable. No homework other than 3 short essays, and he has reasonable grading standards.

Very interesting lectures - good sense of humor. Really brings history alive. Don't know why we have to have the textbook, we never use it. need to be a good note taker to do well in his class. No homework, group projects, class assignments. Just study like crazy before his tests which are all essay and you'll do well.

This guy is the man. He is so funny and he keeps you extremely interested in History. He teaches a lecture based class, but keeps the entire class involved. VERY GOOD TEACHER!

Comment:

He's very entertaining and very hippy-ish. I really enjoy his humor as it does make history enjoyable. If you have very conservative view this will be a difficult class for you during discussion time, as most colleges are very liberal. Thankfully, the teacher does not go on the war campaign with liberal or conservative students. He is very mellow and only takes the side he knows very well, which happens to be history.

Mr. Bruno is an exceptional teacher. He knows his craft and makes the lectures fun. He makes history into a grand epic story. He relates how history is important and relevent to modern times in his dicussions (he makes you understand how history does repeat itself and why). If you like history, Mr. Bruno is the instructor to take. Just listen, take

Comment:

He is very into some of the more "controversial" ideas about the beginning of this planet and he doesn't teach or tailor to the Creationists' views. He didn't give out too much in the way of work.:)
