He is a great prof. He is a little odd but he is very smart. I would take any class he offered. Stats itself is a little boring but he uses exmaples to make it interesting.

Honestly not as bad as people make it out to be. If you go to lecture, he is more than willing to help you out. Lots of easy marks. Very clear in what he is teaching; also, very knowledgable.

TAKE THIS CLASS (especially if you're interested in the connection between politics and psychology)!!!! I found the material riveting and his lectures (distance ed so they were typed) extremely clear and engaging. Good luck all!

I ended up getting A- in his class. Everyone said he was tough, boring etc. But I found it otherwise. He's interesting, engaging, and knowledgeable. More importantly, he's easy!!!! He actually gives out A's to people. He's really easy, so just put some effort to his lectures, then you will get A's.

Comment:
Boring prof, obviously quite intelligent; has no time for students; does not convey his ideas in a very clear manner; does choose favourites and interacts only with those...Good luck to those taking 4 year with S. Brown

Hard as hell. Exams are totally unfair with extreme attention to detail. Questions are composed from tiny phrases in the massive readings he assigns.

The Lazy and/or ignorant should not be taking real courses taught be REAL teachers. Go back to highschool. He is totally caring -- he just doesn't tolerate laziness. If you want to learn he is a wicked prof.

Clear and comes across and intelligent. If you're interested in politics then this is an excellent course and he's an exceptional teacher and fair marker. Don't take this if you want an easy course and a good grade...won't happen.

He is a good professor, but only interested in students that seriously put the time into learning the material. If you do not he ignores you. He is typical of graduate profs, a bit of a shock for undergrads. Take his class as a reality check.

Talks to fast, boring, ordinary and useless. His exams are totally hard, and I know few people like him. Great deal of knowledge though.

Excellent class; excellent prof. The material could be very boring if taught incorrectly. Dr.Brown does an extraordinary job in giving exceptional lectures on the topic... kudos

Found him rude and not at all helpful considering the course content and material. Chose favorites in class and would ignore or downplay comments or rest.
