a perfect teacher
Brian is a great teacher! He is a practicing lawyer and only a part-time teacher yet he is doing an amazing job. 3 midterms and a final. He is a hard marker and wants specifac detail. Either right or wrong. Great teacher.
Great teacher he does his very best to help on any questions you might have. Lectures are long but informative and his examples are very similar to the exam. Gives practice q's before the exam to help study and also gives easy hw q's daily pass or fail depending on the effort put in to make sure class is understanding (easy marks) Totally recommend
he is one of the awesome instructor in Douglas even he is just new here. Very responsible and nice.Not sure the mark yet but i think he is fair marker.
Great teacher. Really passionate about the topics. Gives lits of examples in class that are relatable in real life. Really enjoyed this class and would take him again.
The greatest teacher I had at Douglas. VERY HELPFUL, VERY KIND AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. Wants to ensure he helps everybody as much as he can. It doesn't mean a course will be super easy, but it's Law. In his class, even if you get a lower-than-expected grade, you will not be disappointed with an instructor.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He keeps it simple and relate able, would recommend this course to anyone. It is a hard course, but if you work hard you'll get a good grade.
He is an awesome prof. He makes connections with things that are happening around you right now, which keeps you interested. He's funny and very helpful. His class is a hard one because it's only based on 4 marks, but if you keep up you'll do fine. I look forward to his class every week!
NEVER take his law. very hardmarker and he actually dont know what he is talking about. worst instructor of my life
Best professor I have ever had at Douglas. He's very approachable and helpful if you go to see him during his office hours. He knows his stuff. You'd think that a busn law class would be pretty dull, but he makes it interesting. The tests are tricky but he's a fair marker. I really enjoyed this class, and I HIGHLY recommend taking it with him.
The course was very hard but he explained the material very well so that you could understand it. I recommend you take his class!!
Fixter is employed as a lawyer outside of Douglas and he KNOWS how to teach his subject. He is engaging in his lectures, provides clear examples, and is concerned with student understanding. Exams are straight forward and homework is limited. I am genuinely sad that I'm almost finished this course. YOU NEED TO TAKE BUSN 1320 WITH HIM!
This teacher is by far the best teacher i had ever had at Douglas college, he is so nice, so approachable, and so funny. It just sucks he has to teach such a boring and hard class. Take him if you have to take law.
Brian is a great professor and is very clear and concise with what he wants. Class average for the tests were 51, 55 and 63, so Law 1 is a hard class anyway. I got an 86, 80 and 90 on his tests so just study the notes, and read the book. Class isn't hard if you try.
Great instructor, hard class. I would be disappointed if he changed his teaching style just so his class can get better grades - it's not his fault, it's ours. Averages are very low for Law 1, not because of how hard the teacher is, but because the class itself is difficult. READ THE TEXTBOOK! Don't over rely on powerpoint notes.
Brain Fixter is the right man for teaching a hard class like Business law. His lectures are very clear and makes the class very interesting. However, his exams are long and difficult so you really need to study hard. Tests avergaes are low but that's not his fault it's because business law is a really difficult course
Provides relevant examples to the topic at hand. His lectures as stated before are clear and easy to follow most of the time unless it's a difficult chapter. Attendance is a must if you want to get the most out of him. Took it a long time ago but now I'm loving law. Threatening to sue your friends for defamation is fun!
Brian is so brilliant! I just had to come on here and write about him because even a year later I refer back to his old powerpoints and notes. Super experienced. Turns a hard class interesting. If this class is needed, he's your guy!
Great guy, amazing and helpful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this guy for this course, I'd take another business course with him if i get a chance to. Gives notes too :)
Hard class, great teacher. I sincerely wish he taught Law 2 because his lectures were spot on easy to follow. Gonna miss him. He gives recent examples and applies them to what we're learning so it's easier to follow along.
Highly recommend everyone to take him. He is one of the best instructors that I have ever had!!!
Best instructor I've had at Douglas by far. Engages with students, always available for questions, genuinely cares, lectures are interesting and relevant. He makes law easy to digest, and if you put in the work, you'll do fine. I highly recommend you take his class even if you don't need to. You'll learn so much and it'll be so worth it.
He was very helpful and great teacher ever!!!!!
Highly Recommended!!! The course itself is hard but he makes it easier to follow! He's very helpful and makes sure you understand the material well before he goes to another topic.
This class is not easy by any means but Brian makes the content easier to understand. He's so dynamic when he teaches, he genuinely cares and wants you to do well. I have nothing but good things to say about Brian and I highly recommend him.
a great teacher, warm, accessible, enthusiastic and caring. hard in marking but very helpful and patient. spend a lot of office ours for his student. highly recommended.
Brian is the best professor I had so far. His style of teaching is very fun, easy to relate to and helps to understand such a difficult subject as business law. I loved law only because Brian was teaching it.
He's the best law teacher I have ever seen. He makes a hard class interesting and has lots of office hours available. Highly recommend!!
He is amazingggggg, take this course with this teacher, you will enjoy in this class.He is veryyy clear and helpful.He is the best teacher ever.If he gives Business law II I will take it with him even if I don't need this course.
Best teacher I've had so far!
Brian is one of those teachers I love. He is funny, there to teach, wants to teach, wants you to not only learn, but to also understand the material. This was my first real class for college and I would gladly take the second course if he were to teach it. If you have thr option for him to teach you, take it.
In my opinion " Shielded myself from defamation" Brian was a great teacher. His lectures are very entertaining, one wouldn't be able to fall asleep during his lectures. His powerpoints that he made are very useful! You don't really need to open your textbook. I would definitely take his course again. Thanks for being a great teacher Brian :)
Brian is a very good instructor. With a sense of humour and great communication with his students about the topics at hand. Very clear and has excellent slide packages for lectures. He makes you want to participate!
Made it easier (and somewhat more fun) to learn the subject
He loves Justin Bieber ! LOL Brian was the best prof I had in three years at Douglas College. He made a dreadful subject so much easier and fun. He knows how to teach, how to entertain and how to makes tough subjects easy. I've never seen a class so interested and having so many questions to an instructor throughout the class. I would take it again
In my opinion(^_^)he is a Amazing instructor and must be the best. He makes a hard course easy and interesting. Take him!! You will be fine if you follow and class and his interesting examples. It was my pleasure to have his class and I felt so lucky as I went to douglas and register as late admission and I didn't have any other option to choose!
He's amazing prof, his exams are fair just read over his slides and you'll do just fine! He's very approachable for in class questions and personal matter! He's amazing guy! His exams are kinda funny too it's nice laughing during an exam LoL! No need for text book just need it for participation homework! Buy used! Or even rent out of library if you
Since he's a lawyer he's very knowledgeable and knows what he's teaching. I actually looked forward to his classes because his lectures are intriguing, funny and he gives great examples to make the concepts easier to understand. He's the best instructor I've had so far!
Brian is a hilarous and extremely helpful professor who loves Justin Bieber, but won't admit it. He loves being asked difficult questions, and you can tell he loves teaching the law. He's a good guy prof. Easy extra 5% for passfail homework assignments, and exams are easy if you listen in class and ask questions. Would DEFINITELY take him again!
THE best professor I have ever had at Douglas College. Just ensure you follow his guidelines during exams and you'll do great. I wouldn't skip his lectures because he turns a bunch of content that could be easily dry and difficult to understand into content that is understandable and interesting. One of the few class I genuinely looked forward to.
In my opinion, Brian Fixter is the Michael Jordan of teaching. Best teacher ever. This course is not easy, but if you take it with Brian, you'll get the benefit of great lectures & understanding hard concepts. Study and go to class, you'll be fine. Not a class you can pass if you slack off. If you like the show "Suits", you'll love this class!
Brian is the best law teacher there is! He gives ppt lectures ahead of time before class, loves to answer questions and highly encourages people to come talk to him about any concerns. He gives 2 breaks for 3 hrs long classes. For you to pass, you HAVE to come to class. textbooks not needed, everything is outlined in his notes. TAKE HIM!
Listen up. If you're considering a class with Brian, DO IT. He's phenomenal. This class is tough, since it's a 4th year class, but he makes it really fun and interesting. There's a couple of big projects, but there's no final, so that's a plus. Brian is really passionate, and actually has experience as a lawyer. Plus he's young and cute. :)
Brian is a professor I would highly recommend! First, he's a practicing Lawyer. Second, he rags on Justin Bieber. And third, he loves Suits. I mean the guy does cheer (for some reason) for the Leafs so ok one flaw! haha. But, seriously, go to class. Follow his notes. Study! Ask questions! And you'll walk away still knowing stuff about the Law!
Brian is a fantastic teacher. He posts his lecture packages for the entire semester so its easy to print them and follow along. The concepts are very clear and he explains each term in detail. Ask questions he loves it. If you aren't understanding anything he has office hours, and he responds to emails and provides amazing support and feedback.
Thought Brian was amazing but then I learned he cheers for the Leafs, haha jokes! Brian is an amazing prof, he posts all his lecture slides so if you miss something in class you can go back. He loves when you asks questions and will never embarrass you with for a "stupid question" as he will always try to relate it to the lecture. He really cares!
Great teacher, fun lectures. Easy to talk to and ask questions.
Definitely the most inspiring teacher I've had at Douglas. The more you actively participate in class the better chance you have of a good grade. Don't skip class and make sure to thoroughly read his powerpoints and you will be alright. Business Law is a tough class, don't expect to get by without studying.
Brian's the best prof I've ever had and probably the best at Douglas. He's amazing at grabbing your attention, as someone who finds it hard to stay attentive for hours Brian sure has ways of getting to you! He also posts his all slides online and has an open-door policy where he'll go over anything you aren't understanding, need I say more?
Brian is honestly the best prof I've had at Douglas. He genuinely cares for his students and he has a unique way of teaching business law to students. Unlike other classes where information is crammed and then forgotten when the course is done, I guarantee a lot of his lectures will stick to you for a long, LONG time. TY BRIAN FOR A GREAT CLASS!!!
Love this course! Brian is the best prof that I've ever had at Douglas. The class hour is long but he made us feel it's short. Need to take a lot of notes and focus on every word he explained. The textbook is unnecessary to read, only useful to finish the assignments. Tests and grading are fair enough, the contents are all covered in the class.
Best professor I have ever had. I actually get excited to come to class and learn from him. Extremely interesting lectures, would recommend 10/10
The best prof I've had at Douglas. He makes his lectures very interesting and relates it to things in the media to help drive points home. On top of that all his lectures are available online so you can print them before class and just ex out slides he doesn't use and focus on what he has to say. Highly recommend him!
Brian is a great teacher but his test are ridiculous. The material on the test is fair but there isn't even close to enough time to write the test. Everyone is rush and you don't even get to show what you really know.
Brian is such a smart guy. He has amazing understanding of laws. You will learn a lot from him.
HAHAHAH. He's funny & I think he loves Justin Bieber. He's absolutely amazing with his lectures, notes & real-life stories. He's always available at his office hours & can help you with questions that you have. But don't underestimate him, his grading is hell, very hard marker. Gotta take this class again. Really study "No Jokes".
Brain is so nice but so hard. Tough tough to understand his laws, but he make funny lecture. Brain knows lots about Canada laws, did not compare laws to other countries like China, best to take other course if want this. Multiple tests are difficult and must study many hours.
THE BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER. He's hardcore fan of Justin Bieber, cheers for Maple leafs, and watches "Suits"/"Breaking bad".Brian is honestly amazing pro but his exams are nightmare haha, you'll be fine if you are good at memorizing and applying concepts. TAKE "BUSN 1320" WITH HIM AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
His lectures are crystal clear, you can learn a lot in class if you pay attention and ask questions. Didn't withdraw because you can learn a lot from his lectures. His exams are very difficult with inadequate amount of time to finish, but they are fair if you studied. Business law is a very difficult course but Brian did his best to lecture it.
Brian is an amazing prof,the lecturers are pretty interesting and you can just listen to him for hours and hours without getting bored.
He's a real Gem guys, the best in his field. Just go to his classes listen his lectures and right away study or memorize the content. It's law, its perfect and he's a perfectionist. He'd require you to be one too. Memorize, memorize and memorize but go to his class first. He's a genuine and caring Prof. Enjoy his class and Good luck.
This instructor is the best! I would never have thought of loving law, but his lectures are amazing and you could listen to him for hours without noticing time. Yes, you do have to work hard in his class, but I highly recommend taking his class. He talks very clear and gives awesome examples to make sure everything makes sense to students.
Brian made of the hardest classes in business an overall enjoyable experience. The class is still difficult, but his lectures and slides make it really easy to understand the concepts. His lectures incorporate real scenarios and really help you understand the course. Great overall great professor and funny too. If you can, take the class with him.
Probably my favourite instructor I've had. Brian makes you love the law and though it is very difficult (especially for an intro course), his lectures and slides are well planned and clear. Also tells you exactly what is expected on the tests. Take his class!
BY FAR the best professor I have ever had. Brian makes this challenging course into a simple one with how well he explains everything. Makes you fall in love with law, seriously. Take this class.
Amazing lecture! The law class was tough but he's the best teacher you may have. His lectures are clear & hilarious, examples are memorable and he marks fairly. I took this course in my first semester (English is not my 1st language) but still enjoy the class. You'll miss a lot if skip class, especially those reviews sessions before exams.
very niceee.
Made law interesting! He's funny and wants to help you succeed. Didn't need the book, study off of the slides. Definitely take him, I don't think he's a hard marker, this class is just difficult in general. I wouldn't take this class w anyone else. He gives review classes and it really helps you.
He is a great and passionate teacher. He wants you to succeed and gives you all the tools to do so. Get ready to read for sure. If you put in your effort you will succeed. Would take a class with him again. No doubts
An amazing teacher. One of the nest you cam come across in this College. Makes law so understandable. By the end of the last lecture, I was in tears. I dint want it to be the last one. A fabulous teacher but you got to work hard for it.
An amazing professor. He takes what could be a very boring subject and makes it understandable and engaging. He is hilarious and takes his time in his explanations. If you have the chance to take his classes, even as an elective, I would do it in a heartbeat
Fantastic teacher. Very dedicated and passionate. He loves to share knowledge and experience. I love when he discuss his own practical experiences in the class about law. Grades will be based on your own hardwork because he gives his best. In my opinion, he is best among all professors.
Amazing Prof!
The BEST professor I have ever had. His lectures are interesting and engaging, it made a 2 hour class feel short. He is knowledgeable and extremely passionate about his subject. It is exam heavy but the exams are fair and match the content that was learned. I would take his class again if I could.
After I had Brian as a professor, I fell in love with law and am considering changing my major. He is so engaging and passionate about the subject! It really makes you feel the same way. Brian is honestly the best professor I've ever had; you won't regret taking his class.
Horrible professor! Even if it's you're last option to take him.... DON'T.
This was one of my favourite classes to take and Brian made the class interesting and useful. Incorporated a lot of real life cases into teaching and small group discussions to discuss legal issues. You have to know specific sections of the law to do well on exams. It was easy to remember the law but not where exactly it was found.
I love Brian he is the best prof ever, he built my interest in law, he makes things so easy.. just attend his class he explains everything so beautifully.
Best Prof Ever!!! His classes are amazing with cases, clear explanation of concepts. But need a little work from our side. We have to learn a lot in this course. Not an easy course at all but Brain makes it interesting.
TH BEST PROF EVER STARTING FROM HIS LOOKS TILL HIS PROFESSION HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING. I THOUGHT PERFECTION IS ILLUSION BUT THIS INSTRUCTOR IS AN EXCEPTION. HE IS A PERFECT INSTRUCTOR U COULD DREAM OF. AMAZING TEACHING DON'T MISS HIS LECTURES ITS REAL FUN! FIRST LAW COURSE EVER TAKEN BUT FEELS LIKE I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE FOREVER
Interesting lectures, excellent explanation, examples from real practice. Strongly recommended!
He's an actual Lawyer so any questions you have about the law are always good to ask. Textbooks are pretty unnecessary if you pay attention in class and review his slide packages. Notes are minimal. You can tell he really cares for the subject and makes it interesting to listen to. If you have to get the credit, he is your guy.
He's the greatest prof I've ever had. I took him in my last semester and I low-key wish I wasn't grading yet as I'd love to take more of his classes. He is so real, extremely helpful, caring, funny, entertaining, etc. He makes everything in class relate to your life. After taking this class I feel prepared to face legal issues myself. Thanks Brian!
He is one of the best professor i've ever had at Douglas. He is a lawyer so can provide you real life knowlegde, super hilarious, very clear on grading criteria. He made all complicated concepts become easy. I took another professor with this course and end up failed that semester, but I gained A- on Brian's course.
I love this guy. He is my favourite teacher I've ever had. His lectures cover EXACTLY what will be on the tests. He is a fair marker. You get what you put into the class. I didn't use the textbook for either of his classes. He tests on the lectures, but does have quizzes based on the text. I can't recommend him enough.
Amazing prof!! He is a tough grader but if you are prepared, you'll do well. Brian Fixter is the reason I ended up going to law school.
He is a real gem. I really like his lectures and he will test you on what he taught. but he puts a lot of pressure on students. and there is a lot of memorization in his class. he finishes the whole 50 pages lecture in 1 day. but he teaches it in a way which makes it easy for you to study.
Brian is an amazing instructor, this is me giving feedback a year after taking in because I am in another law class and I just realized that Brian did a good job in helping me understand the concepts of law. Its crazy how I still remember Torts now and it is all because of Brian's examples and teaching style. Take him, you won't regret it.
He's amazing. His paper has exactly what he teaches in the class. He makes tough concepts and laws so damn easy to understand. He's a gem. Take him without any doubt. You won't regret it as long as to go through his video lectures before the final exam. He's amazing.
Brian is an excellent professor who delivers a law subject in a way that you could remember with impressive examples. His presentation is concise and to the point. Sure you will learn a lot after his class.
Such a nice professor! Responds to emails so quickly which is great! Lectures are easy to follow not just terribly boring. Gives lots of examples. Personally didnt like his test format but thats just me. Overall great professor.
If you have a possibility, take Brian's class. He is a great instructor who makes every legal issue easily understandable. He makes it clear what you need to do to be successful in his class. The best instructor you can have. Ever. Period.
Very nice guy! Genuinely cares about what he is teaching and includes many real life cases to help understand better.
I did make the right choice in taking Brian Fixter's Intro to Business Law. I like how he uses real-life cases near the end of each class to understand more of the topic. I would take his class again. And you should take him. You will not regret it at all.
Brian is incredible!! One of the best professors I have ever met. He explains complicated matters in such an easy way. His classes are light and delightful. His assignments are straightforward and instigate you to find a real example of what he has been teaching. The exams are pretty fair, nothing new, and no surprises.
Take his business law class!!! He is an amazing teacher with lots of personal stories to keep the lectures interesting. I was a bit nervous to take a law class but he taught the concepts in a way anyone could understand it.
Brian is an excellent prof! His personality makes you more interested in the material he is explaining no matter how complex it is. He is very good with real-life examples, which will allow you to understand better. Just go to class and you won't have any problems. I highly recommend him 10/10
Brian is an excellent professor. He uses different examples to explain the difficult topics, his test is not difficult, based on his examples and what he taught. Definitely recommend him to everyone who wants to learn the law in an easy way, one easy assignment per week.
Every lecture was intriguing. Very happy that I got to take this course, the best professor I have met. Everything is very straightforward and uses real-life examples to help you understand the content. Also responds to emails very quickly which is great. Would strongly recommend.
really a great professor but in term of grading he is not that good grader. His exams are way difficult. Apart from that he teaches really well. Will definitely take course from him.
Amazing lectures with different real-life examples, and the class atmosphere is never boring. I highly recommend him.
I loved class with Brian. All his lectures were interesting, to the point and relevant. He provided real-life examples and ensured that everyone understood the information. His exams were also reasonable and he provided enough information, help and guidance.
Brian is, by far, the best professor I have had at Douglas College. Lectures are just amazing, you'll really learn a lot from this guy. Exams may be difficult, though, but it will get easier once you get used to his style. Highly recommended.
Brian is a passionate, experienced and intelligent professor. I've taken him for intro to BLAW and Employment Law, and he's the best. Implements real stories/cases which makes material interesting. Business law is not easy though, so pay attention in class as you learn majority of the material during his lectures. Cannot recommend him enough!
AMAZING PROF!!!! Great lectures, everything you need to know is in his lecture format! He has plenty of experience working in the field. Though he does not track attendance the material in his lectures and handouts are a must-have for a good test result. I took him for both employment law and intro to business law and really enjoyed both!
One of the best instructors I ever had. His lectures are amazing. Was a pleasure to be in his class. It's extremely important to take notes of the cases he talks about in classes. For instance, X person vs BC, about xxx. All the cases mentioned, are part of the exams. In study guides, you should include the Sections of the Codes or Acts.
Up there for best profs at Douglas. Would definitely take again.
Brian is an amazing professor and knows what he is talking about. His lectures are fantastic and everything tested is from his lectures not from a textbook. However, he is really tough on grading in his tests. It is hard to get full marks but otherwise a fantastic and caring guy.
His class is fun because he entertains all of our questions. Attendance isnt rlly mandatory but there are handouts every class and u cant have it if u miss a class. His only hw is the study guide. Grades are based all based on exams.This class is so chill. Exams are mostly MC and 2 cases. Get ready to rack ur brain to understand the laws.
Brian is an amazing instructor. The best teacher I've ever had at Douglas College. He made the class interactive by providing useful examples to help you learn. Also, he encouraged students to ask questions, and he was always respectful and helpful. If you take every lecture, you will get a good grade. Highly recommend.
One of the best professors that I had in my life! Passionate about the subject, and AMAZING lectures. I can say that for me BLAW is so boring, but with him was nothing less than awesome! I definitely recommend this one!!
Employment law is hard course, but this professor makes it so much better and clear by the way he teaches. The classes are hard but he makes everything sound so interesting that it's almost easy to stay awake and listen. He is very kind and organized, I would definitely take his class again.
Although, the course has lots of details regarding Employment Law and he is a serious teacher, Brian makes it extremely interesting for entire class and involves students to the discussions without judgment.
"He is one of the best professors I have ever had. His lectures are clear, and even though the content is tough, he makes it a cakewalk."
Great clear lectures and slides, the handouts he gives out makes it easy to review stuff week by week. But if you skip you won't get them. Loud and clear voice and is really understanding.
He is amazing and knows what he is teaching , always helping you out. Open book exam. Attendance not mandatory but handouts are really important mostly questions come from cases he talk about in class so if you don't attend it's your loss otherwise a great professor
