Reviews of professor Brandon Saunders

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Brandon was a really nice guy. However, I did not take one thing out of this class. He wasn't always clear about what he would be giving us a quiz or an exam on. He didn't teach the material in a way that was clear at all; rather, he flew through lectures so fast that everyone around me, including myself, gave up on taking notes a few weeks in.

This is for 3100. Don't know why this site doesn't let you input your own course code. Brandon will be Brandon. At least the labs had less typos than 2300...

Brandon is an amazing guy and teacher. However, this class was all lecturing every lecture. It got quite boring and repetitive. There's not much work, so make sure to do everything assigned.

Brandon clearly cares about the material he is presenting. That being said, his class needs improvement. He often uses slides from his higher level classes, says we won't need the information, then asks us questions about the information he said he won't use. He expects us to learning everything on our own and doesn't always know the answers.

Brandon makes himself available outside of class to answer questions, which I greatly appreciate. Unfortunately, he struggles to relate to students because he is just too knowledgeable, and he expected us to know far more than we did. Labs were full of typos that he would fix as you worked on them. I gleaned next to nothing from the lectures.

He basically wants you to teach yourself. I've noticed that he doesn't really stop to elaborate on the things he talks about. the class is hard in my opinion because you only have his slides to look at and no other information.

The other reviews seem to be for entry level and non ITS majors. Brandon is in his element when teaching more difficult content. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable in the IT field and anyone that wants to become an IT professional will learn a lot from him. ITS 4750 is the best class in ITS for helping you understand how networking really works.

All of the bad reviews are definitely from non-ITS majors. If you are an ITS major at OU and like what this field entails, you will appreciate Brandon's teaching. His lectures are fascinating, include useful info, and force people to ask questions to open up creativity. Overall, the guy is a great teacher and you can tell he really loves doing it.

He is not good at what he does. He is vague and uses information that you won't need, and teaches as if you already know everything.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Attendance was optional and class content didn't relate to assignments at all, so attending class felt almost entirely pointless, outside of a genuine desire to learn the pretty basic content. Not bad because it was very easy, but not the greatest class.

Very cool & awesome guy!
