Reviews of professor Patrick O'Brien

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Really nice, helpful and passionate guy, but lectures can stretch on and on without much being learned. A bit disorganized, he often wouldn't post when certain assignments were due, so I would accidentally miss deadlines. But if you don't mind a nice dude, long boring class and an easy A I'd say take his course

Taking Professor O'Brien for Computer Graphics. First off, amazing guy, and entertaining at that, with a good personality to boot. Prof O'Brien is genuinely interested in the success of his students at a personal level, and makes an effort regularly to make sure everyone is on track. He also tries to keep notes to a minimum to avoid boring you.

If you are taking color theory, or any class for that matter, with Patrick O'Brian, you are the luckiest human. Professor O'Brien is by far one of my absolute favorite professors at Westfield State and he is so incredibly inspirational. Although it's a long class that is lecture heavy, it is truly all worth it. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!

This class was very fun for creative people who like tech! I liked how O'Brien spent lots of time helping you understand the concepts. However, his lectures were long and quite boring, and he spent so much time with the students that I had to sit at my computer waiting for a while to get assistance. Learned a lot and had fun with projects though.

DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW MUCH I LOVE PROFESSOR O'BRIEN. I had him for Color Theory in the spring of 2020 and for Computer Graphics in the fall. HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST ART PROFESSOR. He is SO accessible and helpful outside of class. His lectures/notes are so helpful. He is so talented. He made personal lecture videos for us too. THE BEST.
