Reviews of professor Daniel Brogan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Worst teacher I have ever had, by far. I took this class some years ago and I still have Brogan's diseases. Long story short, we were put into groups and we had to make a robot. The robot my team made won the competition, out of 40 teams. my grade went from a B to a C afterwards. Why? Because our "poster wasn't that good."

Had Brogan for all 3 classes and enjoyed them all. Having a five-page paper in EGR 121 for a 2-credit class was ridiculous. If you pay attention and try, you will pass. Tests are difficult but they aren't weighted heavily. If you cannot do well in these classes, you may need to reconsider your major.

Dr. Brogan is a great professor with very clear and direct grading criteria. He is very fair and direct as well as understanding and compassionate. His style of lecture is engaging, using the slides and talking through the concepts. I didn't find the need to take notes too often and gained more from just engaging in listening to the lectures.

Online classes this year definitely affected the learning environment. Dr. Brogan is a good teacher who knows his material, however, some of his assignments feel like they could use a curve based on their nature.

Treats his 2-credit in-person course like a 4 credit hybrid. Gives incredibly harsh projects. Has more than one complaint to the dean.

Awful. Made me hate Virginia Western. I used to look forward to coming and now I never do. He should never be allowed to teach a class over fifty minutes cause he never stops talking. Also, his grading is ridiculous and has no consistency.

One of the worst teachers I have ever had. Genuinely made me want to never, ever come back to Virginia Western.

I took EGR 121/122 in the fall and spring of last year and enjoyed Dr. Brogans class. He is not very strict in 121 besides the research paper and MATLAB, but in EGR122 he is very strict with homework assignments and if you don't understand MATLAB and/or unit conversations as well as circuits it is going to be very difficult.
