Comment:
The amount of work given is ridiculous. I wish I would have dropped this class. As an engineering major taking CHEM 1251, Calc 2, and ENGR 1201 I don't have time for all of his work. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS.

Comment:
Worst experience I've had with a teacher. Unnecessary amounts of work with little instruction. It felt like I was just being tested the entire class without being taught the material. He's now trying to get a job at UNCW, where I took his class.

Comment:
Really doesn't take into consideration your workload in other classes, assigns way too much meaningless work. Only helpful to those who see him in his office hours and doesn't have much sympathy for those who have a life outside of class. Coursework is very demanding and I would suggest you choose a different professor.

Comment:
The absolute worst teacher I've had in my life. He breaks all of the rules of good teaching, just look at the red pen marks all over any student's paper. He also insulted us (calling us stupid, questioning how we got out of high school). Essentially, he's a jerk and I don't think he taught me anything. Don't take his class, no matter what!

Comment:
Good ole Rick is a fan of some great literature. Interesting approach on reading some of the classics and does a great job of introducing different writers, genres. He's a little finicky on writing assignments but was always willing to help/criticize.

If I had to pick 1 professor that I liked the least, ol' Richard Branyon would win def. be it. Besides giving way too much busy work, he cursed at me in those nice red penned comments you get on a paper and made me re-do a 15-page paper.

Comment:
I agree, he does give far too much outside work for a composition/rhetoric course. My beef with him is that I had a family member die, and when I returned to class, I spoke w/ him about it and he told me, people die, get over it.
