Reviews of professor Brian Hastings

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Class was Reporting In Black Communities. Which in itself is just a difficult course to approach for third and fourth year students. I thought Brian did a really great job in making it a safe space for us to discuss difficult topics. He really made the class interesting by bringing some awesome guest speakers to give us a different look. Loved it!

Disappointing. He claims he's a nice guy at the beginning of the semester, but it's the opposite. He reads off power point, class is boring. I asked for feedback one time and he denied it saying "I don't have time to read all that". He doesn't give extensions, and if get a bad grade he won't let you re-do. Good luck if you have class with him.

Only my first year in college, but Brian was real solid in regards to the adjustment from high school. A little disorganized sometimes, but explains throughly when you ask him. Real nice guy and knows his stuff. Overall, a good teacher and I'm learning a lot.

Voice can feel boring and monotone. Reads off a PowerPoint, relies on adobe tutorials, and calls it teaching. Very rare student involvement within classes and doesn't make it exciting. Emotional grader and makes contradictory notes/comments in relation to the assignment parameters.

If you pay attention to his class you will get a good grade, it's really that simple.
He pretty much spells it out for you. hes very chill. at first I was little nervous to approach him, but he cool.
lol its all an act I think bc hes on the younger side, so hes gotta pretend like his serious, but brain is chill.
