Reviews of professor Brian Van Ness

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Avoid this instructor if you can. If you have to take it with Brian, get ready to study on your own. The book explains everything much better than him. Terrible lecturer and not responsive in emails.

The class is OK, but the teacher is terrible. He goes on tangents, and he doesn't know how to use zoom and canvas correctly. Textbook he assigned is useless, most information is from slides and my own search. Very heavy on group projects and exams are tough.

Brian is so cool. He gives hints and a list of what to study for the exams. He makes the class very straight forward and is super helpful. Brian cares about his students more than the average prof. Additionally, he told us he would assist us in finding a research lab if we needed help. Basically a gem.
