Reviews of professor Shane Briggs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Briggs is a great professor! He makes sure that he goes into detail with his explanation and is very easy to understand. He is accessible in case you need help. He offers great extra credit. Homework is due by the end of the semester, quizzes are due by the end of the week with no time limit. Exams have a time limit of four hours!

I got over a 100% in this class, and I would not recommend him. He cannot answer questions well, skips steps, doesn't give good study guides (can't even solve most problems himself, completely different than the tests), & skips the hardest questions on the notes. I taught myself everything using the Organic Chem Tutor. Test averages in the 40%.

He didn't help students what so ever I did everything in class that was required and still didn't pass I had a 67% and I need to transfer which won't be able to

He explains math concepts clearly. He has a lecture note which you use in class. If you miss the class he has a youtube channel that explains the lecture notes. He is caring and curves exam scores sometimes. His exams can be tough, but if you do the homework before the exam you should get an A. Gives practice exams and Extra Credit.

Professor Briggs is delightful. He truly cares you learn. Its a lot of work! I would recommend to go to his live classes to ask about your doubts, do the his course notes and the exercises on the book. If he misses something you can ask him the next time you see him. Lots of examples but you have to ask. Get a math buddy from class, it really helps

Apply yourself just like any other class, but prepare to pretty much have to teach yourself outside of the class. I would advise to pick a different professor who is more enthusiastic and willing to teach, more punctual, answers questions clearly rather than whom just talks and pushes group work.

He cares about you. He is very available to help you be successful in math and college. He is very easy to follow and fair. He releases videos of the class and they are helpful. The homework is not too burdensome but you should stay on top of it.

Do not take him for STEM Core!!! He skips so much in algebra/trig, and we ended up losing almost 75% of the cohort of STEM Core students by the time we got to Calc 1. Because the class ended up consisting of regular students outside the program, he never bothered to address the gaps in knowledge. He can't answer the simplest of questions, either.

I had him over the summer when we were still remote. He was by far the best calc prof I have ever had so far. He uploads his lectures to youtube, then has zoom seasons to help answer homework questions. He gives practice exams and its obvious he wants you to succeed. He doesn't use the textbook but it is free on webassign so you can still reference
