Reviews of professor Axel Brandt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I'll keep it short 1.) Weekly Quizzes 2.) Only test is your FINAL and he won't give you any material for it (not similar to the quizzes) 3.) Went from a B+ to a C+ because of the final

Really nice person, but I would not take him again for any math class. A lot of reading but nothing in the reading is addressed in lecture. Homework is 10 times harder than the examples he uses in class. The daily quizzes are also a lot harder than his examples. Reassessments are nice, but not beneficial when you don't know what you're doing.

I had the basic calculus knowledge prior to his class so did well in the beginning but still wasn't able to get over 90 on the weekly quizzes. I had a 86-87 in the class but our first test was the final and didn't tell us how it would be or anything other than similar to the quizzes. It was not similar and everyone failed and my grade dropped to C+

Passionate about the subject and teaches with enthusiasm, which makes the class enjoyable. He keeps it interesting and has the class work in groups to solve problems and help each other understand. This is BY FAR the best math class I have ever taken.

Cool guy, hated his class. I had him for liberal arts math and it was completely useless. The homework would be over in class concepts but sometimes made no sense at all. Very here is this, go further for your homework on your own. The only thing I liked was the end of semester project.

If you can't learn from a textbook then it will be the worst class you ever take. He has you do readings and homework over topics that you have not yet gone over in class and expects you to teach yourself. After that he only does a few examples in class. The only good thing about his class is that he lets you do reassessments on quizzes.

He was super chill and I absolutely loved his course structure(standard based) I am not a great with big exams and so his structure was a big relief!

Dr. Brandt was amazing!! I was scared to take discrete because of all the complaints of past students, but Dr. Brandt made the class easy and fun and I was excited to go to his class. He's a new professor so he relates to students' struggles. There is an assignment due every class day, and a quiz every Wednesday. The only test is the final.

Dr Brandt, will not teach you any content. His focus is that you read the book and teach yourself and he will upload his lectures after class but his writing is on a tablet and is not legible. If you want to pass this class you need to already know the subject matter or know someone who knows it. Extremely hard to get help from when needed.
