Reviews of professor Michael Brannan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Brannan seems like an intelligent and caring person, but his teaching style just did not work for me. His lectures very slowly built to the needed solution rather than telling the solution and proving why it works. This made much of lectures seem unnecessary, except for the final solution. I feel I learned more from the textbook than lecture.

I can see lectures being an acquired taste but he puts extra effort in to help students understand where certain formulas/properties come from. Proofs are also a big part of 304 but doing the homework and study guides/past tests is a good way to prepare for the exams.

This teacher is horrible. For one, he decides to extend the hw after it was already supposed to be due. I stay up doing it all night so I won't get a 0 then he sends an email 2 days after the due date saying he'll extend it for a week. He does 0 examples during class and only goes through dumb proofs. Never not understood a math class till now.

Fair guy. 0/5 as teacher, 4/5 as person. teaches slower than a turtle, stale, boring, tons of useless proofs. Lectures don't help hw, hw is harder than the test by far, no clue what to expect on test. Don't know how I passed. Def avoid if want to learn. But I will say he is really good for pure math majors, APMS peeps pls skip. Nice guy, reply fast
