Comment:
Had him for Combinatorial Game Theory. Fun topic, but I feel he didnt teach the interesting parts. Entire grade was based on 2 assignments and a final project. He didnt teach anything that was on the assignments, yet marked them extremely easily. Nice guy and you can tell he's passionate, but his teaching style is far from thorough and clear.

Comment:
He's a chill dude. I like him as a person a lot and he's also very compassionate and reasonable. However, his teaching style's very different from the way I learn. I like a lot of structure and a lot of rules which isn't really how his class went. But, it could also just be that because it's an advanced honors class that's the reason.

Comment:
Dr. Stevens is a fantastic professor, he teaches in a clear and helpful manner. Dr. Stevens was more than willing to take time after class to discuss topics from lectures, but also material outside the scope of the lectures. I would end up doing my fourth year thesis project with Dr. Stevens as one of my supervisors.

Comment:
Most of what he does is copy definitions straight out of the textbook and give examples. The examples he gives should be copied because the ones in the textbook usually have errors. Going to the lectures is not really worth the time if you plan on studying from the textbook anyways.

Other than going through things really fast which made it hard to take notes and listen Brett was great! Very good at answering questions and will go through something until you get it. His office hours were also very helpful.

Brett is a fantastic teacher. Not only is he able to take the most mundane of subject matter and make it fascinating, but his enthusiasm in the material shines through and is infectious. The only are where he could improve is to slow down, as his excitement tends to make him speed up; given his vast intelligence, we end up being left behind :-).

Dr. Stevens is excellent and makes abstract algebra sound relevent and easier than it is(not sure of it is relevent? :). Also extremely helpful outside of class. no complaints with him at all.

Great course, great prof. The first assignment was extremely long and difficult; he lightened the load after that. Take this class if you're in 4th year math!!

Amazing pro!! Even thought the material was really tough, but if you attend his office hr, he explain extremely well. He likes to think as the student side to help students to understand. Nice guy, not like other pro like to bring you down whenever you ask question. I will take whatever he teaches.

Great prof. Had him and Professor Poland, and while Dr. Poland was outstanding (sadly he now retired), Dr Stevens is rather good too. And who said that he doesn't prepare for classes? He was really well prepared. Make sure to ask questions to slow him down - he assumes that you get it otherwise

I have mixed feelings about this prof. I hated his guts during the semester, as he was marking extremely strictly. But somehow I ended up with an A- in his course even though I had a 65% average going into his final???? weird.

BEST Math Prof I've had in university. The class size was small though, so that might have something to do with it.
