Brodland is the BEST! He so caring and loves all his students. He'll try to get to know everyone by their names. The assignments are easy, but the midterm questions were hard to understand. Don't bother buying the textbook for this class just get the workbook.

Comment:
Very nice guy, but treats his students like kindergarten students. Lectures were very idea based and he never really showed students how to apply the knowledge from lectures (how to actually solve a problem using actual equations, etc.) He would then expect students to solve problems on assignments that were nothing like the lectures.

Best prof I ever had, hands down! He's super friendly, very sweet and knows how to teach. He's EXTREMELY organized, he has his own workbooks that you'll use throughout the term. So no need to buy books. He explains everything in detail and doesn't mind explaining more than once. I wish to have him as a prof again, loved him!

Comment:
Good guy, but totally treats students as kindergarden kids - thinks nobody knows nothing. If you are reminiscent of high school style teaching, he's your man. Class was not challenging and made me wonder what the point of sitting there really was, more than all other courses.

Very enthusiastic about what he's teaching. Really makes an effort to ensure we understand the concepts. He really appreciates feedback from students and genuinely seems to care. However, his marking style is quite hard (ie. if you get part (a) wrong, then parts b, c, d, and e are also wrong.)

Amazing! He is very enthusiastic about the material! Always eager to make improvements and ensures the class understands the material. Assignment are thorough and are a good tool to measure how well you understand the material.
