Reviews of professor Brian Atkinson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Find anyone besides him who is teaching the class. This guy does nothing it seems like he doesn't really know what he is doing. Everything is confusing and I think he is just buying his time until retirement. This class would be better if ASU just gave us access to the canvas site and a grader, he is useless, don't expect his help.

Choose any other professor. Online course was an absolute dumpster fire. Didn't upload the book list until the morning of the first day of class. All of the assignments said they were missing and past due on first day of class. The "lectures" are random 4 min videos that weren't even recorded by him. Half weren't even helpful with the assignment.

Wouldn't recommend this course at all. If you have to take it don't expect any help from the professor. Syllabus says that preferred contact is canvas email. Never got a response from him or the TA's. Course is organized about as well as a landfill. Its very apparent that it's just thrown together last minute with no care of student success.

Worst class I've ever taken. He never responded to anything, and I had to get the school board involved because of his unavailability. The assignments are very grade heavy and will only have a few questions so if you get one wrong its already a C. Then has labs which aren't even accessible through canvas that don't have clear instructions.

The grading criteria is extremely vague, there are 6 labs and each is worth at least 5 percent of your grade. Would not recommend this professor, the course feels like it was just recently thrown together.

The worst professor I have ever seen in my life. He has no knowledge about what he is teaching. He threatens students "If students goes to the Dean then he will complain to academic integrity."

This is one of the worse experience so far I had in ASU. Labs don't have any instructions at all to help you. There's no any help provided except the powerpoint presentations that are straight up from the book. Avoid this professor at all cost.

Professor Atkinson is a nice guy but this class was ridiculous. Very easy materials, but the organization of the class made it so stressful for no reason. Most of the time, we did not know what we are studying, and I was so lost the entire time.

Slides just summarized readings and didn't add insight. The instructor only answered questions during Zoom office hours. Labs took hours but counted the same as misleading quizzes. Quiz scores were based on the last attempt. Due dates and assignments changed frequently with little notice. Little to no guidance on assignments/final expectations.
