Teaches material in the most confusing, difficult to use way. There is a ton of work outside of the classroom to do every week, and the homework is very difficult.

If you have never taken a physics class avoid. I spent every class confused as could be and the recitation and homeworks only made it worse. He suggested using the text book for practice problems but there was no answer key so you couldn't tell if you did them right. His exams are hard but he graded fairly. He didn't teach the formulas needed.

For a physics class Brian is the best! Grading is very generous, tests are weighted based on your best and worst ones. Tests are mult choice and short answer, the conceptual mult choice is hard but that short answer problems were always similar to the class examples, lon capa homework, or written assignments. Def get chegg all the HW is on there!
