Reviews of professor Brian Bowers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took professor Bowers for Calc 2 a few summers ago at Greenville tech since I didn't want to take it over at Clemson. I can honestly say that he's the best math professor I've ever had. He did an excellent job of helping us understand the concepts and provided a lot of examples in lectures. He's also very detailed-oriented and helpful.

Mr. Bowers likes to use definitions as a teaching method, rather than taking the extra time to show you examples. I have had several pages FULL of definitions and he will rush to start a lesson with five minutes left of the class. He will teach the entire time and take off points for any small mistakes on his tests. Would not take again!

Mr. Bowers was a great professor. He explained everything in a lot of detail and I felt as if I actually understood math for once! The online homework is a little annoying when you dont know what to do, but other than that it great.

Although the lectures are very heavy with lots of notes, the class isnt that bad. Bowers really takes time outside of class to make sure every student is comfortable with the material. It was his first semester at gtech and I felt like he did good on being committed to the class.

If you have Mr. Bowers, you will make a good grade with a few easy steps: 1) be involved in class, answer questions and you will understand. 2) Bowers provides tons of outside material to help you succeed. 3) He will answer questions through Piazza within minutes. 10/10 would take Bowers' class again if I had the chance.

I learned a lot mathematical knowledge from this course. Prof. Bowers explained everything clearly in detail. He happily answered any question. I would take again his class if there is a chance. His class was also great even when there was a sudden online transition. He truly cares his students.

Classes are more focused in reinforcement and less focused on learning new material. I might have gauged him wrong, but he comes off a little passive aggressive, but I think? he means well. Notes are heavy so I wouldn't try to copy them all down. Just follow the powerpoint and use the problems in class as reference. Don't bother emailing him.

Best math teacher I've ever had! His online videos to watch outside of class were so helpful. As long as you do study guides, participate in class, and watch videos you will make a high grade.

Too many definitions and not enough examples. Flies through sections and immediately starts the next one, mostly with five minutes left of class. Does not accept corrective criticism and instead opts to blame students instead of bad teaching.
