good teacher kind of hard though

Very good teacher. I got A

knows his stuff, can be boring at times, needs to make teaching more interesting

BBB, aka santa clause, hard teacher but a good one.

Excellent Teacher! Good at explaining things, takes the time to teach it to you

Awesome teacher!!! Knows his stuff. I love Brian. Highly recommend. Got B. Thanks Brian.

He is a VERY hard and VERY Picky marker. If you miss a / somewhere you will lose the mark. With that in mind he is a very clear lecturer and explains stuff well. If you understand the material than you will get a great mark. If you are a fringe student who usually passes by BSing way through tests you wont pass.

No nonsense teacher. Passing is possible only if you keep up with the material and not miss early classes. Very thorough lectures but tricky projects and exam. Learned a lot in his class.

He knows his stuff. A real good source to ask questions when he has time, otherwise can be really impatient. I really enjoyed his class and lectures. He is very serious in his job and he expects you to work hard and learn your things, then ask questions.

Amazing teacher! Knows his job very well. Good explanation and helpfullness!

outstanding guy, likes to joke, plays league of legends (the best game duhhh). wishes he was better at counter-strikes (LOLs) , his assignments are mindblowing. tests are fair.

Brian Gray was by a long shot one of the best prof's of my semester. He seriously knows his linux. I would highly recommend his class for anyone looking to learn Linux.

Very good prof, but very hard marker. Won't get any part marks even if you missed a / or a period. Expect quizzes every week but you get 2 attempts per quiz; marks and takes up the quiz within 5min after handing it in LOL. Easy to get an A but you gotta study/practice your commands.

Brian Gray is an amazing professor at Seneca, but he's a tough grader and he wants you to answer the question in his way. Brian's midterm is ridiculously hard compared to the final. All in all, I'd 100% take Brian again, he prepares you very well for later.

I was amazed how Brian could manage layering the levels of difficulties in Bash programming. My best teacher so far

He is good enough. If you ask he gives you the clear answer.

You need to pay attention, throughout the entire class to know whats going on and keep up with the class. Assignments are a big help to understand whats happening. Quizzes are almost weekly so be prepared.

He is usually very thorough and very clear in his lectures. Dont expect to pass if u miss class, the content is just so important. He does show live examples on linux of the commands he is teaching. Quizes and tests are hard but if u practice from questions he did in class and from the labs, you will be fine. Able to answer questions very thorough

Overall Good Professor ..!

How could I describe this professor, who is just so admirable, passionate and caring person ever. It is a doubt that the rate of Brian Gray is this low, while my skepticism is towards those students who miserably failed the course and rate him poorly in revenge. He teaches ULI101 and goes into detail every lecture and you won't regret taking him

Great professor... know linux language as great as he any body can. But hes not going to help u to do stuff u have to be very active in his class. Great home of knowledge.

He was an awesome teacher. He was extremely thorough with everything. Once you show up to class and he sees you try then you pass easily

Before this class I was taking some online courses on Udemy and other online platforms. These online courses are suck. Brians explanation is so well, so I was following all material and ideas. Of course youd better to practice with online assignments multiple times to get the logic and syntax of the commands. Take some extra time and youll pass.

He's the best prof for ULI101.

Before him I was taking at least 3 online courses, but Brian's explanation was the best. You have to put some effort into Assignments and do them again and again and you'll definitely pass.

He is one of the best professors in Seneca for any Linux courses I must say. He evaluates our exam paper in a way to bring perfection in our learning. I really appreciate his feedback.

Brian Gray is great. He knows the material very well, he has a wonderful voice and you enjoy listening to his lectures.

It was a great course overall and the professor made Linux look easy rather than making students cram it, practical knowledge was more emphasized.

Easy to understand and great at explaining things.

One of the best professor i had. Learn a lot from him!

Really great professor, very dedicated. Patiently answers any questions anybody has. Yes, there are a lot of quizzes, but if you sit through his classes or go through his course videos, it won't be too difficult. He also goes through the answers after each quiz - super helpful, not many professors do that. I'd definitely take him again.

Just take him very easy grader. If you put a little effort and attend classes or even watch recorded classes syou would pass you just need a little practice with commands. Tests are very easy and interesting. He is the best prof for this course.

When I see reviews crying about difficulty, it's not Brian's fault. He gives THE BEST online lectures I've seen in Seneca. He also covers the material with his step-by-step videos for each part of the course. He is enormously approachable and kind but mutual respect has to be shown. Brian will teach you SO MUCH but don't expect the grade for free

He knows how to teach, his material is well organized into video sections step by step, he puts emphasis on clear communication and uses calendar (halelluja!) Seneca should just let him teach 100% online as his way of online teaching is exemplary and really well executed. Lecture heavy but If you have a bad grade, not his fault. Really nice voice.

Made learning Linux fun. Interesting lectures, knows his stuff. Quizzes were a bit tricky but if you studied the material it wasn't a problem. Usually responded to emails within a day.

He is my favorite Seneca professor. I don't attend the classes because they are asynchronous, but I watched all of his videos to prepare for quizzes, examinations, and labs. Taking notes of the commands will help you achieve a high grade. He also has a great voice and explains the complex material in an easy to comprehend manner.

He's definitely not for everyone, quite a few people failed his class but that's also just because the content is not easy. I personally really liked him though, he breaks down concepts on a whiteboard and explains them well. Doesn't just read monotone off a PowerPoint. You can tell he is really passionate about what he teaches.

I see a lot of people say he's a tough marker, but the grading criteria has always been clear and we were allowed to use lab notes for tests and quizzes(OPS245). He also provides very helpful extra self-made content and his lectures are some of the best. Some material can be fairly difficult but if you are a good student you will do well.

a very good professor, wish I attended more of his classes.

He is one of the best professor i got this sem. Heard he was a tough grader. Sure he is. He looks for the specific answers and one "." can make the difference. After lecture he always answer questions and solve doubt if you have any.

Tough grader, but his expectations are clear from the get go. No partial marks given,exact answers required. His lectures are amazing,he genuinely wants you to understand the content. His quizzes are a way to test your knowledge. He does 2 versions for some quizzes to give you another chance to learn from your mistakes. You wont' regret taking him.

Brian is an excellent professor if you actually want to learn Linux. His lectures are always worth attending and test expectations are clear from the start. Not an easy marker but mistakes on his tests are always your own fault for not preparing well enough, testable material was always well covered and there were never any trick questions.

He is very knowledgeable about his content.Quizzes and exams are on paper and even one "." matters so you should be careful he is strict with the answers. He does 2 versions for some quizzes to give you another chance to learn from your mistakes. His expectations about exams are clear so no surprises. You are allowed to use your notes during exams.

He has an immense depth of knowledge in Linux, and his passion shows in every lecture. His ability to simplify complex topics makes them easier to understand. While the pace can be intense, those who keep up gain a strong foundation and develop problem-solving skills that go beyond just technical knowledge

Brian is an amazing prof! His teaching is clear, engaging, and ensures you truly understand. He encourages questions, uses fair grading (top quiz scores count), and allows notes in tests. He makes complex topics simple and genuinely cares about students' success. Easily the best prof I've had this semester!

People get Brian wrong, he may be strict and not very forgiving with quizzes or tests, but he really wants you to know and understand Linux. Linux isn't forgiving, and if the command or script is wrong, it's wrong. He really wants you to understand that and pushes us to make sure we know what commands are GOING to do before we do them. Amazing prof
