Reviews of professor Brandi West

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very wonderful prof that goes with entire class for questions on examples prior to continuing the lecture. Need to read prior to lectures for theory but that should be done regardless. Great Prof made first semester tolerable!!

nice person to be around. however she's not organized at all and it reflects on her lectures... man trying to figure things out while having 100 of different opinions is overwhelming! be ready for offensive-ish criticisms that she does. I think she doesn't mean them but they hit hard emotionally :(

Can get lost in lectures at times and sometimes doesn't explain the why. Post too many old exams to give you an idea of what type of questions will be on it, this is also partially due to the high amount of material that needs to be covered. However if you ever need to meet 1 on 1 to get help she will always make time and is much better then.

She's definitly a good teacher (patient and helful) but no matter how hard I tried, the tests are just so difficult. Thanks to the homework that saved me so at least I passed the class.

I dont think shes fair period. She does not prepare you whatsoever nor provides the resources necessary to prepare for her overly unfair tests. She wastes time and does not care about her students especially because of covid. She shouldnt deny someone help during a midterm because of program/internet issues and let you fail.

Professor West was honestly such a gem this semester. She adapted so well to online learning, and clearly put in a lot of effort to make sure things went smoothly. She was super patient and took the time to go over things very slowly and precisely. Gave a lot of opportunities to get good marks (easy weekly quizzes, fair homework, etc.).

Dr. Brandi made us watch pre-recorded videos explaining the theory before our zoom meetings. And during the zoom meetings, we did a bunch of problems examples. The exam material is based on those problems. This reverse-class teaching makes it easy to understand, but you need to put in the effort and practice if you want a good grade.
