Reviews of professor Brennan McDavid

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor McDavid is exceptional. She is not only kind but extremely intelligent - even if you think you have all the answers in the world, there are questions you will develop through this course that change your vision of the world around you. So challenge yourself and take this course to walk away humbled and more knowledgeable.

I took ECON357 over interterm with two professors and honestly, Prof McDavid made it my favorite ECON class so far. I enjoyed every class/ fission we had. She is super nice and friendly, the class environment was very laid back and chill. She's always there to help her students. I'd say she's a relatively lenient grader who gives great feedback!

Her class was great. Not work heavy at all. Her lectures help you understand all of the assignments because you get to talk openly about it in class. She genuinely cares about how you do in the class and she will help you in any way possible if you ask her for help.

Truly an exceptional professor, maybe my favorite I've had at Chapman. She's kind, funny, enthusiastic, and, as many of her reviews on here have said, she cares so deeply about her students. You likely won't do well if you don't pay attention to the lectures, but she makes that an easy task. Take her if you have the option.

an amazing professor who actually cares about her students. No tests only written paragraphs.

I really love Professor McDavid as a person and enjoyed her class much more once I started going to office hours and was able to really talk to her. However, the majority of the actual class was led by discussion of the students, instead of her, who didn't necessarily know what they were talking about and I walked away with barely any notes.

I took Philosophy 101 but that's not listed here. However, she teaches in a similar fashion in any class she teaches. If you love discussions then take her classes. She engages with the class every time and makes the information more personable by asking everyone questions. If you want to skim by, you can get away with it, but her class is good!
