Reviews of professor Brian Van Ness

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor is nice, but his tests are very difficult (he has EC quizzes tho). Textbookuseless. Grading scale was kind of depressing. A: 93+, B:84-92, C-: 75-83, C: 72-74. He seems to not want to hand out +/- grades, which is actually not good since averages are typically B+ and A- grades, so this system is a drawback. Good luck lol

Wow, he is great, very caring, wants everybody to pass (pass/fail class). Gives out extra credit and tells you specific topics/practice problems to be ready to see on the exam. Also very interesting to talk to, and will help students with career advice/connections. Take him if you have the chance.

Dr. Van Ness is a really great guy and a good professor. He mentioned he was willing to help students find research through his connections which was so cool. He always made review sheets that were based on the test he had written, making doing well in the class very accessible. He was funny and a good lecturer!
