Comment:

Best accounting instructor at BCIT and should be teaching other instructors how to teach. He breaks down difficult concepts in a super logical way. Leaves no "holes" and addresses all potential confusion before anyone even asks. Super eloquent yet concise. No filler content. Understand his notes and do all the examples & lab questions twice.

I truly believe Bryan is misunderstood by many. He seems tough and strict at first, but once you approach him for help he is more than willing to help you succeed. His exams are tough, but they are not anything more than what has been covered in class. Bryan is a respected individual in the accounting industry that wants to see his students succeed

Bryan knows his audience. He mentions what's essential and doesn't feel the need to keep information from his students. He knows that students are burdened enough. He delivers the most amazing lectures and deserves every accolade he gets for teaching. He's doing what he's supposed to.

Best teacher to have for financial accounting 1 or 2. He explains topics thoroughly and his note/handouts are sooo helpful! One of the best teachers Ive had. The course is hard but he really helps you grasp the concepts

What you get in this class depends solely on what you put in. Yes his exams are tough but if you put in the work they are passable. He is highly respected in the profession and I would 100% recommend to those that are not lazy students.

Comment:

If you did not do well in 1st year accounting, I suggest u not to take FMGT3110 with Bryan. Bryan is smart and cool, but he speaks way too fast and it would be hard for you to catch up with him unless u know the materials well. He is the hardest marker I have seen so far, so be real prepared if you take FMGT3110 with him.

Bryan's lectures are quite dry, but his notes are amazing, study his notes and you don't even need the textbook. He is not the friendliest of individuals, but does that matter? His class is definitely tough but if you attend class, study the notes, and do the assignments I don't see why you can't do well in this class.

Comment:

Bryan was the most unfair and worst lecturer I have ever had. He speeds through his lectures, so you can barely take any notes or understand anything he says. He over complicates topics and does not do any practice in class. His exams are extremely difficult, and he only looks for the right answer - in other words, showing your work is pointless.

Good teacher, explains his stuff really well, notes are trimmed down compared to other teachers.. Took him for Financial Accounting 2, he pretty much holds your hand while you take the course. Highly recommended

Bryan Parker is one the best teachers at BCIT but he is also one of the hardest. Had him for financial accounting 1 & 2 and it was hell, but he's very knowledgable and will help you if you take initiative and ask.

Bryan knows his material well. The problem is, he knows it too well and because of that, explains things very poorly. His lectures are walls of jargon being thrown out at you and jump all over the place. His exams are some of the hardest I've ever taken and don't follow in line with the homework and lecture examples. They require "extra" thought.

I wish he would smile more. He seems nice the rare times he smiles. Maybe i should stop skipping but I wish he was warmer with the students. I guess im the type that needs my hand held but I prefer instructors that are easy to approach and nice and smiley and stuff. Apparently his lectures are really good.. I wouldn't know, i skipped his class

Material is tough. Notes are excellent. Never opened the book or did Q's from there. Go through notes and ex. before lecture and learn what you don't know in class. Redo examples, assgments, tutorials to prep for exams. They are similar difficulty. Learn to use tables T-Tables,Bond&Lease Amort,EPS,Deferred Tax makes understanding a lot easier

Ridiculously hard class, midterm questions were not like any of the class problems or homework we did. Expected you to be able to apply what you learn in class to situationsquestions you have never seen before when we've been doing this stuff for a month. Seems to enjoy punishing his students.

NEVER take this course online, he seems to take it as an insult that you're not going to his class despite this being a legitimate class option, zero help provided, left to own devises with textbook and notes. Only way to pass is to attend a class. my advice - Find any other prof!!

It's a really hard class, but Bryan does a good job of breaking down the really complex issues. He's not the friendliest prof I've ever had, but he's your prof, not your best friend, so don't expect him to act like the latter.
