Reviews of professor Brian Snyder

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This course was more difficult then it should have been. Dr. Snyder let us take the exams on Moodle with open note. However, he makes the exams harder based off scores. If we do well on one exam, he makes the next one difficult. Sometimes questions are not even on the powerpoints he shows us. It is difficult, but a little effort is all it takes.

He is a good guy, but I do not recommend taking a class with him. The only grades he puts in are the four exams and three homework assignments which are only worth 10 points so unless you do well on the exams you will not pass.

Took this class online as an easy A. NOT an easy A! Timed exams & you have 1 min/question (70 challenging questions). A lot of people struggled & failed exams. You have to watch lectures + take thorough notes. However, Bryan is awesome. He's super cool, funny, and nice. Lectures are interesting and you learn stuff. You just have to apply yourself.

He is such an amazing professor! His lectures are so funny and not boring at all. He is extremely caring and understanding. You must attend 4 office hours for credit, and there are 4 exams throughout the semester. Only 4 homework assignments as well. Exams are not hard if you take good notes.

Brian is a sweet heart in office hours, but that doesn't excuse his class set up. You barely get graded on anything, so It's hard to have chances to raise your grade. Also, he has a habit of making tests "hard on purpose" or giving 88 questions we an hour and 15 minutes to complete. Very hard class to pass, so beware. Exams very difficult.

Snyder is a really nice guy. However, his lectures are extremely long and I find it unrealistic to expect students to watch (multiple times) and take notes on a lecture that is longer than the time we would spend in class with you. This class is test heavy so there aren't many chances to pull up your grade. For a Gen Ed it's not worth it to me.

Great teacher! He's very chill and is able to describe a lot of the difficult subjects in easy terms! Very optimistic to teach and is helpful when it comes to reviewing for the tests. Definitely would recommend

I took him online. His tests were hard. if you don't watch the lectures you're doomed. but he assignments and office hours help your grade. nice man though.

If you need a physical science course I would definitely recommend. Lectures are a bit long, but he makes it very interesting and he truly cares! He is willing to help, and answers emails very fast. Gives many opportunities to complete homework past due, and also curves exam if needed. Take his class, he's awesome!
