Great professor. Knows what he's doing. It's not a blow off class at all. None of the classes he teaches are. All essay test. Pretty old fashion. But he is very respected and a great professor to take.

Dr. Bridges really knows his stuff and is VERY helpful. If you ask him for help understanding he is very approachable. Tests are tough and he is a Journalism guru so writing matters to him big time Essay tests and old school but hella good

He's a great professor, but this is NO blow off class. You will learn from him, but you have to put the work into it. Your grade is totally on your shoulders.

Comment:

Dr. Bridges is honestly one of my favorite professors here at Commerce. Many don't care or are just jackasses-he asks you about ur future plans and goals and actually tries to help you achieve them. Study, read the text, PAY ATTENTION and write well (he's a stickler for editing-remember he is a journalism prof!) and you will for sure get an A.

One of the hardest classes I have taken for Journalism. So much to learn. All essay tests. But Dr. Bridges knows his stuff. And you will too by the end of the course!

Tough professor, but absolutely wonderful. He is brutally honest and expects you to know your stuff, but you will learn a ton in his class. 260 is a blast if you like commercials & 336 is a must for anyone interested in media law. He knows everything when it comes to Journalism

Even though this class is one of the most boring classes i've ever taken... Dr.Bridges knows his journalism and loves to let the class make its own decisions throughout the semmester.

Comment:

Be careful if you take him for Intro to PR Principles - it's not an intro class at all - he expects you to know everything all ready! Take a basic reporting class before this one. Other than that, he is a good prof.

He is a great teacher, and is very smart. He expects you to read and learn, but always discusses material with you. He wants and deserves respect. If you try, you can do well.

Comment:

He is an amazing professor. He expects not only for his students to work hard, but actually do good. He definetly prepares you for the workforce. His tests are hard, he wants you to understand and see importance of cases and events, not memorize the text.

He is hard and makes you work for your grade. You have to read or else you do not stand a chance on his quizzes or all essay tests. But you learn a lot in the end.

Pretty good teacher. Always showing videos, we discuss what we see. I actually prefer essay tests so I thought that part was fine.

Comment:

It's not as though the class is as interesting as the capstone he teaches but this teacher is out for blood. He couldn't be linear if his life depended on it. He gives nothing but essay tests in this class and wants "HIS" answer not necessarily
