Reviews of professor Brian Hanley

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Brian Bosephus Hanley is the ungodly amalgamation of that cool gym teacher in high school and a crusty war vet that chases kids off his lawn. One minute he's a really cool dude cracking jokes and the next he's reminding you that you're a worthless dumb little baby. Tons of homework but they aren't graded as strictly as the tests.

Dr. Hanley is passionate about educating future engineers, not babysitting you. His class is hard and he can be very blunt, but he truly wants you to learn the material. Don't get intimidated by him, meet with him outside of class and he will be happy to help you. Don't listen to the bad reviews, he's one of my favorite professors.

Acts more like a disciplinarian than a educator. Has no patience 4 any questions in general but has arbitrary directions. So u just gotta wait for some poor schmuck to ask n get roastd. Treats u like an idiot which is discouragin to learn. Class isnt hard and is rewarding as long as you follow directions EXACTLY, do all hw BY URSELF, and PRACTICE!

Professor Hanley cares about his students. A lot of kids fail this class because they do not put in the effort and then blame Hanley for failing. This class is entirely based on putting in the time to learn VBA and Excel a teacher can do his best to help you ( which Hanley does) but it is also a lot of self discipline to do well in this course.

I do not think that Hanley has taught anywhere before nor do I think that he has interacted with humanity for any significant period. He treats this class as if it is his personal duty to make sure that you do not pass. I studied 4 hours a day for this class in the spring and got a C. Less work and a higher grade in physics!

Professor Hanley was hard to gauge as a professor because a lot of VBA and Excel was a majority of whether or not you practiced or not. I would say to be careful on exams and read questions thoroughly as he will take a good amount of points off if you get something off. He does give a good amount of points for trying on exams.

I wouldn't take Hanley again given the opportunity to choose otherwise, but most of the time he's your only option. Asking questions means you have the balls to take the heat for the whole class who also has that question. Went to him personally though, and while still rude, he did end up helping tremendously. Beware of lack of southern charm.

Dr. Hanley is a great professor who truly cares that his students understand the material. His class is very challenging, but it enables students to grow and prepare for their future by letting students learn how to problem solve efficiently. Dr. Hanley is blunt, but he is extremely helpful and wants students to do well.
