Reviews of professor Brian Gonzalez O'Brien

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor O'brien is honestly one of my favorite professors. Half of the class is discussion which is great to keep you updated on current events. Don't believe the people that say he's a bad professor, they probably just put 0 effort into the class. He's a very fair grader. Connect with him during office hours!

The kind of GE professor that says a C is good. 7 HARD quizzes. Claims the questions are pulled from assigned articles but in reality mostly only RELATE to the readings. No outline for the cumulative 100 question final so you're left wondering where to start studying when ALL lectures, slides, articles, videos, and textbook readings "are fair game"

Really cares about his students and LOVES to communicate about politics. As long as you study the lecture slides you will do good on quizzes. There are 2 assignments due weekly but are very easy. Textbook is not required all that you need to know he will cover. Would recommend if you need this credit.

I am currently taking him right now and he is amazing! His lectures aren't bad as he likes to have group discussion about current events one day and lecture about the reading another day. He is very knowledgable and helps out! The class consist of bi -weekly online quizzes (super easy), midterm, and final. Even if you don't like POLS, TAKE HIM!
