Reviews of professor Brendan Bowler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is an amazing teacher, especially for his first year teaching this class. Class is lecture based but with collaborative work time(on whiteboard tables) during class. HMK is online, pretty easy. Very nice class overall!

Great Guy.  I took this class as a junior, but I feel taking this class as a freshman would have set me up for success in my future classes bc of skills he emphasizes. HWs were tedious, and since they were from the textbook I didn't feel they were a good prep for the test. 4 test. No drops. But he posts a review/study guide for each one which is gr

I honestly loved this class, it's interesting and Prof Bowler made the lectures fun. The test questions may require a lot of calculation but at the end of the day this is a course for science majors and should be very manageable. It's four test no final no drops! but the tests are very straight forward and all the material is covered in class.

One of my first science courses at UT. Really great Prof, very passionate about the course, explains the content well and very open to questions. The tests are a lot more math heavy than I thought it would be, so definitely pay attention to the formulas.

Bowler is a very good professor. Even though COVID put everything online, you can see the effort Bowler puts in to his lectures and class time. He genuinely seems to care about his students. This class is super easy in the first half but the second half gets more difficult. If you are an astronomy student, you should take a class with him.

Prof. Bowler is honestly one of my favorite professors, hands-down. He taught in a very clear and concise way, and worked the class through every equation and concept. His passion for his work is very clear in every moment. Occasionally, things get off track and chunks of class end up wasted, but those moments are few and far between.

Solid choice for those looking to take an easier science credit. Textbook is not necessary; test material comes from lecture and quiz answers can be found on quizlet. To do well on tests, understand and study the slides e.g. short answer question could be based on one slide from ppt. Don't neglect the hw's, final grade is more dependent on them.
