Reviews of professor Brandon Mahana

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
You are only graded by the 4 exams and then can get up to 10 percent extra credit for doing the HW and quizzes. I personally just did a couple problems on each assignment and then did the whole review assignment. The review is the exact same as the exam just with different numbers. It is technically not openbook but doesn't use a proctoring thing

I was so scared to take business calculus online. But Brandon is an awesome professor! I really liked the layout of the class. There was a TON of homework, but I really felt like I had the help I needed to stay on top of everything. Brandon offers extra credit on exams. I'm so glad I took this class!

Brandon was so friendly and really cares about student success. The calc was hard but did lectures, made videos, did extra credit, etc., to make sure that we understood it by the time the tests came around. The department was pretty strict about the way the class was run but he was super transparent and made sure we had all the resources.

Highly recommend you take from professor Mahana! Class is set up like a study session and he walks through every problem. He is great at breaking things down so they are easy to understand. Your grade is 100% exams, but if you are comfortable with the review, you will do great. He is also very accessible outside of class.

Professor Mahana was awesome! I'll be keeping an eye out for him for my future classes! He makes each class fun and has no problem going over something a few times if you request it (I did). He gives a lot of real-world examples, and gives you opportunities to build presentable skills in the field. He uses Excel to teach, so be ready to utilize it.

His lectures are amazing, he will go over any questions you have and will take problems from the homework to teach material in class. There is videos for each problem. Quiz q's are from the hw with different numbers. If you do the exam review and understand the problems then you will pass with an A. Review is exactly like the exam but different #'s

Brandon is an awesome professor. He explains math lectures to the point and will answer all the questions that you might have. He is easy to reach and in general he cares and wants you to succeed. I recommend taking his class!
