Reviews of professor Shane Briggs

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you ask a question he goes into philosophy instead of addressing your math questions. He overcomplicates a simple problem and leaves his students more confused. We had exam questions he couldn't answer. If you make it appear that you look up to him the class is an easy A. If you actually care about LEARNING the material take another teacher.

This professor basically expects you to do everything outside of class and goes so quickly over the material that you are forced to rely on YouTube. He definitely needs to work on communicating better with the students.

Low raters don't understand. A pre-made booklet of excellent, clear notes. Outlines the course fully, one step at a time. Physics background comes in helpful here, comparisons to real world examples break down abstract concepts. Caring grader, offers partial credit/practice exams. If ONLY he taught Calc II and III would be there in a second.

Professor Briggs is amazing! He is kind, sympathetic, and understanding of situations outside of your control. Does a lot of review from previous classes to prepare you for Calculus and is open for all questions. Exams are pretty similar to what was discussed in class. Patient and helpful.

Professor Briggs is a great professor you can tell he really cares but he doesn't really teach the class synchronously as stated in course catalogue. You get just 2 hours a week in person class time to ask questions and the rest was you tube video lectures which made it really difficult

He is a very nice and funny professor. Give out clear and understanding rules, he has practice exams, lots of homework/group work in class, and extra credit for you to practice. HOWEVER!!! 85% of the stuff on the test are traps/hard questions, he never went over those types of questions in class.
