I was nervous about taking calculus but after the first day with him, I was never nervous again. It is obvious through the way he teaches that he is extremely passionate about math. He explains things clearly and is hysterical. He will always have you learning and laughing each time you see him.

Brian is a great instructor. He is really good at explaining complicated concepts to make us understand. He used to be a high school teacher so we did a lot of activities to make the class more fun. He talks fast sometimes but that may be due to the fact that I took the class in the summer and we had a lot to get through. I would take again!

Dr. Pidgeon is an amazing professor. He cares so much about his students and he is always available to help. He knows what he is doing and is really knowledgeable about the subject. It's sad that he tries to talk to the class but since it's online...nobody really responds.

Dr. Pidgeon is one of the nicest people I have encountered at GSU. He is engaging, gives breaks, answers questions, and helps/encourages you to succeed in his course. Our 2-hour and 30-minute classes flew by every class day because he was just so engaging. I hope everyone gets the chance to take a course with Dr. Pidgeon!!

He is very up to date with his lessons, 3020 would have been rated as a very difficult lesson, but the way he presents the content makes it much easier to understand. The homework exams are not intentionally difficult, he responds to emails very quickly, and he is very considerate of his students.
