Reviews of professor Brendan Brown

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Mr. Brown is a nice person when you go to see him to office hours. He is very accessible outside class. However, he is so smart that he can't convey the material clearly for his students. He makes rather simple concepts so much harder than they should be with a lot of technical talk. Wouldn't take again. Tutors in tutorial session agree.

One of the most difficult lecturer to deal with in UNC-CH.

This professor made his class incredibly difficult for no reason. All other stats classes were not this hard. There is no reason to change the format to be very coding heavy and for statistic concepts to take the backseat. Definitely one of the hardest class I've had to take here. He taught the class as if we already knew what we were learning.

He is horrible at explaining things in class and the assigned homework is nothing like the problems he does in class. The class notes are not helpful and you have to look up your own notes online to understand the material. Office hours aren't helpful either. He gives projects on excel instead of exams, which is the only good thing about him.
