Reviews of professor Brian McKay

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. McKay is an excellent professor, I was always looking forward to class because he made lectures so interesting. He makes it very easy to do good in his class as long as you put some effort in and is willing to help if you reach out. You can tell he loves what he does and it makes the whole experience better, I would highly recommend taking him!

Dr McKay is a fair choice for biostats. It's a lot of work outside of class bc the lectures can be difficult to understand. It's on you to learn the material bc there's not any required hw outside of weekly online quizzes (moderately difficult, open note) and labs (easy). Dr McKay isn't the most helpful prof I've had, but he's decent.

Professor McKay is funny, nice, and encouraging. The class can be tricky at times (especially once you get to the third unit) but do well at the beginning (which is SUPER easy) and you'll be fine once you get to the end. Make sure to attend lectures or at least watch videos thoroughly and take notes (especially of important formulas.

His lectures were easy to follow, and he posted all the material online too. He gives clear and thoughtful responses to questions and really tries to make sure his students understand the material. There were some quizzes, easy online labs, 3 exams, and the final. He drops the lowest grade in each category. Take Mr. McKay's class if you can!!

I made the mistake of watching only some lectures and only half paying attention until November. I ended up having to get a 100 on the final to get an A in the class. Then, I went and saw ALL 30 lectures and realized I could've avoided this situation if I simply saw the lectures and took notes/did the problems. He makes the tests easy,onedropped
