Reviews of professor Sean Brennan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Not good. He gave me an F. He gives you weird quizzes that forces you to look at a picture and he expects you to name everything related to geography in that picture. Beware! The time limit is under 25 minutes, which is not enough time to cross reference from the textbook he lets you use on these quizzes.

I thought the class was fair. his lectures point out several quiz topics. Printing out the powerpoints made test taking not so bad.

quizzes are timed, for example 5 questions in 10 minutes, and you can not resubmit it. watch the lectures he uploads, most of his questions will come from there. most of the quizzes are multiple choice but the ones that aren't, make sure you spell it out right because he will dock you for it. book is not mandatory but he does use it for quizzes

His recorded lectures provide all the answers for the quizzes and midterms. I printed out the lecture power points, then took notes while he lectured. Ignore what's not lectured on, high light what he emphasizes. When I figured that out the class became so easy.

Professor Brennan is an amazing instructor! he really wants his students to pass his classes. his teaching style is personable he encourages class participation. showing up to class is necessary if you want to get all the opportunities available during his lectures. He makes it very clear what his learning expectations are for the class.

Mr.Brennan is a great teacher, he allows us to collaborate and tests may be difficult but it's usually open noted. Always be ready for pop quizzes. Also I took the class during the summer and it went by too quick for me to process it. I recommend taking it during the fall or winter when it's slower and you're able to process the material better. :)

I did pass this class with an A but I needed to do every extra credit assignment in order to maintain that grade. He is not specific about what he wants to see in assignments which makes him a very tough grader. The homework assignments are usually based off the lecture, and the tests are hardly ever multiple choice. It is possible but beware.
