Comment:
Professor Brownstein is amazing. He is super knowledgeable and his classes were very entertaining/funny. He kinda just says what he wants so the first class can be very awkward for many people. His exams are pretty easy if you take good notes and pay attention to the lectures. I learned so much from this class. I would recommend taking this class!

V interesting man & kind of out-of-pocket sometimes (has accidentally said gang-bang). He's super interactive & will tease you a bit. Majority of the material were just his philosophies and thoughts on things (ex. you should use your hands during sex). All tests were open note. We had a textbook, but you don't have to read. V easy & entertaining

Dr. Brownstein is an amazing professor! He is very knowledgeable and gives amazing lectures. This is the best class I have taken at UT so far! Exams were very easy if you attended the lectures. I learned so much in this class. I only wish it would have been in person.

I took the first online version of Human Sexuality. Dr. Brownstein can be disorganized and often struggles with technology, but I have learned a lot in his course and he is hilarious. Tuesday lectures are asynchronous and Thursdays are live on Zoom. Exams are open-note but use Proctorio. You don't really need the textbook. Solid class!

Dr. Brownstein is a gem. He is funny, sarcastic, and makes talking about sex and things related to it a lot easier. I looked forward to going to class every day. Take this class!!!

TAKE THIS CLASS! This is definitely the beset class I've taken at UT. The professor is hilarious and has really interesting lectures. On top of that, the information the class covers is definitely info everyone should know about relationships, sexuality, and your own body. You do have to study to get a good grade on tests but its interesting!

Brownstein is amazing. Everyone should take this class. Grade is based on test average. First test is hardest but you'll make it through. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!! He seriously is hilarious. There will not be a day when you don't laugh in the class

Dr. Brownstein is awesome! He takes a somewhat awkward and uncomfortable class and makes it fun and interesting. He calls on everyone whether they want to be called on or not, so be prepared to have to participate. As long as you go to lecture and take notes, you'll be fine for the tests. Highly recommend this class and professor.

Brownstein is a fantastic professor and gives the funniest lectures! Take this class if you have the chance because you never know if he retires soon and it is an experience you won't want to miss. IMO this class wasn't an easy A as everyone claims it is. If you do the research/thought paper you need 86 for an A. FYI The first exam is the hardest

Comment:
Most overrated class I have taken. He is often off topic, has been condescending to many students, and does not know how to use technology. Often teaches like the students are elementary kids not like an upper division class. Spent the first 4 or 5 weeks of the class lecturing on the difference between a fact or opinion. Easy class, but aggravating

Human Sexuality at UT is undoubtably the best class. Its so easy, the lectures always made my day so much better and honestly if you pay attention/participate in class youll get the easiest A of your life. Its a lot of common sense stuff for college students. Hes so funny as long as youre not upright lol

Brownstein is hilarious, and his course will definitely take you out of your comfort zone. If you're shy or easily offended, his course may not be for you, but he does offer some good insights/perspectives on how to view life/society. Easy A course if you take good notes.

He is HILARIOUS! If you're shy or uncomfortable talking about sex then maybe don't take this class. He calls on you whether you want to talk or not - just suck it up. Everyone should experience this class! Must go to get material/notes for 3 tests, but you'll WANT to go. Interesting topics like sex/sexual preferences, anatomy, stds, abortion, etc.

Amazing professor. I cannot say enough about how great he is. Funniest professor I have had by far. Participation can get you extra points and reading the textbook is recommended for a test. The tests are relatively easy and he gives plenty of partial credit. This class is an experience you have to have at UT. Even for fun.

This is the lecture I looked forward to every Tuesday/Thursday. Dr. Brownstein is so funny and really knows his material. He does not really care about social issues unless it specifically relates to the human sexuality, which is sometimes off putting. If your opinion is not based on fact, he will call you out on it. I highly recommend his class.

Easily the funnest class I've taken at UT. Dr. Brownstein is hilarious and there's almost no homework plus plenty of opportunities for extra credit. He doesn't do the plus/minus grading system which is nice so I regret making this class pass/fail. The first test is the hardest and sometimes he makes the tests open-note. Definitely take this class.

one of the best professors at UT. he is hilarious and loves to get to know specific people he can pick on during the semester. 3 exams (3rd is open notes) and 5 thought papers that have no page length requirement. 86 is an A if you do all the thought papers. one of the best classes I have taken at UT and i wished he taught more classes. take him!

Dr. Brownstein is hilarious and knowledgeable. He makes class so engaging. There are 3 (easy) exams and 5 thought papers (literally write anything about the topic he assigned). Super fun! He loves to call on you at random so be prepared to answer questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
