This guy is laid back, and you learn a lot. The midterms are mediocre but it's all in the final story that makes your grade. He's a cool guy that's really interested in the subject at hand. I'd say he's one of the more interesting prof's I've had here. Plus...seriously he looks like a younger HOUSE.

Brady is an awesome professor and human being. The multimedia classes he teaches all have fairly large workloads, but he presents the course in a way that is not overwhelming and he will move dates if he realizes he is assigning alot. He is on top of the latest web trends and tools, something that is invaluable as a student because often these obscure sites would fly way below my radar. He usually has something interesting he is into online that he talks about every day. He is very approachable and understanding, willing to work with students on almost anything. If you get him then just prepare to work hard and learn a lot of cool shit.

Great guy, class was a lot of work, but Brady made it tolerable. One will frequently receive this email an hour before class: "Class canceled today. Send me your drafts. Email the editors for story assignments." lol Oh Brady...

Good class for a new teacher. I heard horror stories about the last professor who taught this class. Professor T. rocked!

Why he doesn't ask another instructor/professor or a student for that matter to check the software instructions he hands out is beyond me. He gives inaccurate instructions and it causes the class to be hindered in proformming their work. I witnessed other students waiting for 45 minutes for help, simply because of the 'bad' instructions. If someone could teach him power point that would be helpful. If you are going to read your lecture notes like a script, as fast as you can so everyone is writing at top speed, use a power point presentation and then post them on blackboard afterwards. It's 'almost' comical--maybe someone should video tape the process and use it in, what not to do as a teacher, instructional video. Unfortunatly it doesn't end there, but he gives these very interesting tests. . . YIKS! He seems to be, kinda trying, but not enough. Hopefully he will develop a desire to become a better professor and make the effort to become a grade A instructor of which he possesses the potential. We will see . . .

Brady is an overall good instructor. He is down to earth and just a regular 'joe', though he is cuter. He is a very interesting person. After being in some of the other journalism classes he is refreshing in style and topic (visual communications). You won't be disappointed if you take any of the classes that he instructs.

Super nice and helpful. I've had about four or five classes with him now, and if you can get him for Visual Communication, do it! Way more knowledgeable than the other guy who teaches it. If you do the work and study the night before the tests, you'll get an A. Used to run through the material a bit fast but is getting better and better. Probably the nicest and most helpful teacher I've had. Only thing he's a sticker on is attendance, so be prepared to show up EVERY CLASS! (you get one freebie and that's it.)

Brady is the coolest. He's very good at explaining things so you'll learn a lot, but he's also really laid back so the class isn't very stressful. He learned everyone's name within the first couple weeks of class, and still remembered my name over two years later even though I didn't have any more classes with him during that time. In 390, the assignments are EXTREMELY flexible. As long as you meet the requirements, you can make them about anything you want. As someone who loves to get creative with things, this made the class really fun. And if all of that's not enough, as a bonus, Brady is also a total freaking hottie. Seriously, dude looks like a younger version of Hugh Laurie. TAKE THIS MAN'S CLASSES! You will not regret it!

Teufel is trying SO hard to be "the cool teacher" that it detracts from class. He's also really scattered and acts like a know-it-all. Come on, dude. You're not that journalistically experienced. Anyway ... the class assignments were fun, but his grading was arbitrary, his instructions were confusing, and his expectations were unclear.

Brady Teufel is a great professor to take advanced digital journalism with because he is more than willing to help students with (coding) struggles and sets a high bar for expectations. He is very serious about the class and expects students to also take it seriously. He encourages creativity and independence, two things that will ultimately help us solve problems for ourselves. The work load of this class contains 5-6 creative design assignments (style tile, video- shooting, editing, photo story, thing link + audio interviews, favicon, logo and alternative story form) which took on average 5 hours per assignment to complete with ample time to complete it before the deadline (1.5-2 weeks ahead). The work is very rewarding and you have a lot of freedom and flexibility to design what you want in this class. Would recommend it to anyone looking to get a basic understanding of HTML and web design.
