Not much organizations, talking a little bit fast = hard to get his idea

Great teacher. He's funny and he makes econ interesting. Gives extra points.

EXCELLENT teacher. He seems a little unorganized sometimes, but he is a great teacher and makes it easy to grasp concepts using good examples. funny guy even.

Great Prof. Multiple-choice tests. Grades are fair. His Friday class was awesome. Overall, great guy.

You have to love the sense of his humors. He will make you laugh with something that is not funny at all. His lecture is based on his own examples, and it is so easier to understand than the other Econ professors. Best Econ Prof. in SMC.

very boring lectures..... but 70-80% of questions in tests are posted on his website. he's really nice make weird jokes~

Really easy econ class. If you are a business major, or an econ major perhaps, i suggest a more serious teacher, who uses a harder book.

Smart & Friendly & Young & Cute. He's a real free market advocate a la Milton Friedman. Knows his subject.

GREAT teacher. Wonderful life expierences and stories to share. Very knowledgeable and very willing to help students.

great guy, very helpful, lectures are some time boring but still better that those of the other teachers. Posts previouse test online. Goood class

Pretty good Prof. Recommend to others. His previous tests are posted on his own webpage so study them and you will do well in tests.

a fairly good teacher

For all you WRC rally fans he looks like Marcus Gronholm.

Good teacher. Show up for the lectures, and you should have around half or more of the test questions answered in your notes. Makes everything simple. Tests are basic. Plus he has sample tests on his website that should help you get an A. Show up for every lecture and you'll probably get an A.

One of the best teachers at SMC. Quite a character. Lookes like Basil Fawlty from "Fawlty Towers". He is extremely clear adn is very helpful for International Students. I remember him giving handouts with the English Econ vocabulary for those who struggled. He is hard but fair. Very fair.

Browns class is so slow..he doesnt teach, he tells u whats in the book...if u dont understand the book u wont understand him...10 extra credit points just for showing up...if u can teach yourself take him, 3 mid terms 1 final, no paper...do not recommend it!

He's kind of a shnerd, but in a funny way. He basically works right out of the book. Do the reading and you'll be able to keep up. He hops around a lot and yabbers about things off topic. Don't be a teachers pet cause he'll lecture the whole class for an additional hour on your kiss ass questions. A

Great teacher! Made me fall in love with Economics and major in it. Not an esay A, but he curves and is very helpful. I really loved his classes.

EASY A!!!!

The night class is long. But he gives extra credit points just for showing up to class. He teaches and gives test mostly from the book. To get an good grade, study your notes and use the practice tests he gives you.

Good class, easy A if you pay attention in class and read text. Talks fast and uses a lot of real life examples. Has practice tests which are helpful. Final was pretty easy. I would recommend this class.

Recommended!!! If u just show up and take notes from his lectures I must be fine!!!

Brown was my favorite teacher that i had during the 2 yrs that i spent at SMC. Hes hilarious! He'll go off on all kinds of tangents or "digressions" as he calls them but they are usually really interesting stories or great information that will help you understand real life. He still does well at teaching the material too. He's really smart too

Professor Brown is the best! He's a really nice guy and he knows the subject well. His tests are pretty easy. He let's his students look at his previous exams and they help a lot! Like I said earlier, he's a great guy and his class is not difficult. Highly recommended.

I gotta say, really helpful.Stayed an hour after his class on a Sat.to help me.He gives old tests to study for tests.Helps a lot.Easy going with good sence of humor.Great guy.Talks pretty fast though.

He is a very great professor, all his HW are from his lecture, and you could review his old exams for his coming tests. Sometimes he talks about some jokes, he is a funny teacher, I like him, and I got a A in his class, you do not have to study your ass off to get this A, just review the day before the test, and then you will get a A in this class.

Very enthusiastic teacher. Keeps lectures interesting with anecdotes and humor. Testing is fairly easy so long as time is put into reviewing the material on a simple level.

He is very funny, and very easy, does not make students' life hard :) The only thing that I did not really like about him is that he is very disorganized: I got an A in the class, but I hardly learned anything :) Otherwise very nice person :) Thank you prof. Brown :)

Mr. Bruce Brown is one of the best professors I ahve had. His classes are packed with information but always loads of fun. Study the online tests, atttend class and read the materiel and no one should have any trouble getting a certain A.

I got A for his online class..for online class, u have opportunity to redo your test untill u get perfect mark..he even add 15 point for student's final exam..he also add several point for online problem sets.you have to put your effort a little bit as well

His online class is difficult, you have a lot of online execrcises that you must complete that take forever to do since you need to read the chapters beforehand. Other than that he gives a lot of free points so you are not totally screwed, if you're looking for an easy econ class don't take his online.

I took his class online in summer. You will have a lot of exercises and homework that you have to cmplete. For students like me who major in economics, it is very helpful, but for students who major in other fields, it might be too much or difficult. If you study so hard, you will get A no matter what you major in.

*ONLINE* This is not an easy class. There is a lot of homework and reading. His lectures are very helpful and the quizzes are easy. Read the book and do all the homework. You will really learn the material. This is a real college class and not some mick course. If you are a real student, take his class. Lazy students should avoid him at all costs.

talks very fast, you need time to get used to him. I heard the onlines are hard, but the classes in class are easy, there are not a lot of homework, you just need to listen in class and do readings from the text book, he gives you a bunch of example questions, so you have high chances to get a good grade.

Professor Brown, is very helpful and I highly recommend him. Taking an online class can be quite challenging because it requires you to do a lot of learning on your own. Professor Brown answers all emails pretty quickly and seemed to always be available when you have a question.

Best ECON Professor! Take HIM!!!!!

Had Prof. Brown for an online, 8 week course. I highly recommend this class. The teacher would email the students to remind them about deadlines and responded quickly to questions which helped make the online learning go a lot more smoothly. You have to stay on top of the weekly quizzes, if you miss a quiz deadline he doesn't let you take it.

read & understand the material and don't forget to do the assignments and you'll pass his online course no problem!

This was my first online course. Very challenging but he cares about what he is teaching you and wants you to learn. I am also taking Econ 2. Knows his stuff. Highly recommend if you want to learn something!

This was my first online class, it was tough, but he was willing to help. If you e-mailed him, he respond ASAP. There was a lot of assignments,pretty difficult, but I managed. It is a lot of math and,graphs, and vocab. You could take the quizzes as many times as you wanted to reach 100%. Highly recommended,create a study group to meet at SMC!!!!

I took Professor Brown online for an 8 week course and received an "A". Professor Brown would always answer e-mails and kept students informed about assignments that were due or when he had important reminders. The class requires a lot of reading and studying, but it isn't too bad if you are interested in the topic. A great econ professor.

I heard this class was really difficult. I think some of the material can get a bit confusing, especially during chapter 6. Overall the online class is very fast pace. If you don't like to read, study, or take many quizzes. This class is not for you. This class is definitely doable if you stay dedicated, NOT IMPOSSIBLE!

Took his 8-week online course and he's a great online professor. His layout is perfectly clear and understandable. Hw's due Fridays, Quizzes Saturday, and tests every other Sunday. It's a great system considering you have plenty of time to complete assignments. They're not hard, just read the book & it's obv. open book. I recommend this course!

I took his online 8 week class and all you have to do is study his PowerPoint and read the chapter. Do the homework on Aplia, the homework is similar with the quizzes. Professor Brown cares about his students. I got an A for this class.

From my experience he is a very understanding teacher. A nice and fair instructor. Not easy but if you put in work you can get an A. C or B very attainable. Anyways, I would recommend professor Brown.

Professor Brown's online curriculum is set up really well. I actually failed Professor Garcia's Econ 1 online course; however, I got an A in Professor Brown's course. Do all your homework and you're good! His course is set up to benefit those who invest more time. In the end he givesou all the tools to succeed, it's your choice to take it!

Prof Brown completely changed his teaching methods. All learning is by reading the book, but test are timed (~1 min/?) and really hard. He says the reason for the changes is because many people were cheating (can't blame him), but I think he took it a bit too far. I'd still recommend him, just what you're getting yourself into.

Professor Brown was amazing, the book he chose was such an easy read - mind you I was dreading taking Econ (not my fortay) but I actually enjoyed the material. Yes there was alot of reading but lets be honest, it's college! Highly encourage anybody to take, especially if Econ isn't your major. He provides great feedback and gives u helpfull tools!

An amazing class & professor

I was a little scared by the 4 chapters per week of reading for the online 6 week course I'm in, but they are really short chapters. Straight forward: an exam, a quiz, and Sapling HW every week. Pretty easy, just actually read the book and do the 15-20 questions on Sapling for each chapter on time. Tests/quizzes can be taken twice.

Took his online 8wk class. Tests are kind of hard/specific but you should be fine by reading the E-book, hw, and notes. He gives 8 quizzes, 4 tests, weekly hw and a cumulative final, but his point system makes it so that the lowest scores of each category are dropped. Also responds to e-mails really fast and is great at alleviating any tech issues.

Homework due every week. He gave an extra quiz & test due to Covid-19, he then dropped 2 lowest quiz & 2 lowest test. Doing the homework really helps. Weekly emails with reminders what is due that week.

I took his 8-week class in the fall 2020 semester and it was pretty easy. There were 2-3 quizzes per week which have almost all the answers on Quizlet and pearsons but they are a little annoying. I put about 10 hours' worth of work into this 8-week class.

Took his 8 week course this fall 2020 and his class was pretty straightforward. Easy A just do the hw study the hw and take the test. He also allows 2 attempts on test which helps a lot! Also he always sends reminders on whats due every week which is extremely helpful and appreciated!

Professor Brown is very easy and makes learning economics easy. In the class, the softwares used were Pearson (MyEconLab) and Canvas. The syllabus is clear with what you will need to accomplish in the class terms. Prof. Brown does drop your lowest grades in assignments and tests; which help your grade at the end of the course.

Prof. Brown laid out a very easy to understand course on day one. The syllabus is clear and concise, and is easy to understand what will be expected of you. For Econ 2, both Sapling Learning and Canvas were used to submit homework and tests. Prof. Brown does drop the lowest test and homework scores. Amazing professor!

Took his classes for Econ 1 & 2, the class was very independent and based off the textbook. The homework can get frustrating, it isn't posted on Canvas and it can sneak up on you if you aren't well organized. The tests are easy and all directly from the modules, he throws a few curveballs though so don't expect an easy A. Nice intro to economics.

Mandatory textbook purchase, easy class, great professor. A bit picky on discussions but never received lower than a 9. You get two attempts on everything except final and discussions. Fast paced class during a 6-week semester. He deserves a higher score, he is very helpful.

Decent professor, I enjoyed my experience in his class. I did end up teaching myself some of the coursework, but only because I found that to be a better method for myself. Mandatory website purchase for Pearson, multiple attempts on homework and quizzes. A lot of work, but not difficult by any means. No reason to get any less than an A

i don't get the people saying it's too much work, you are in COLLEGE!!! class has a very decent amount of work and reading. prof brown is very kind and provides a lot of material. easy A if you keep up. though i will say if you want to deeply understand econ, take an in-person class than an online one (regardless of professor).

Good class overall, workload is not heavy.

Overall, an awesome professor. You can work at your own pace, and he is quick to help you with any issues. Super cool guy!

Brown was great. I enjoyed his class and it wasn't too difficult considering it was a condensed course. I am currently taking my 2nd class with him (EC2) and enjoying it a lot. You can tell that he cares about his students and wants them to do well. The assignments are pretty reasonable and you should have no problem doing well in his class.

Took short-term online class. Need to buy the ebook for MyEconLab. 3 homework + 3 quizzes/3 chapters and 1 video quiz for every week, and an open-note final. 10 attempts on homework and 2 attempts on the quizzes. He drops 3 lowest scores for the chapter homework and quizzes and the lowest for the video quizzes. A bit rushed but recommended.

The class is very straightforward. Put in a little effort and you'll get an a. He drops the 2 lowest homework and quizzes(which can really boost your grade to an a) and assignments are all due at the end of the week. Overall, it is an easy class that requires some reading and is very informative.

I took Brown's Scholar's macro class over the summer and absolutely loved it. Your entire life for six weeks will be this class, but you will come out of it with a better understanding of the world. I would recommend this class to everyone, regardless if they're a business/econ major or not! Pro tip: Be creative in the short essays.

The Best Econ teacher ever! 6-week winter class without feeling overwhelmed. Prompt responses and grading. All assignments are open starting week one so you can work as fast as you want to and he lets you turn in late work(takes 30% off). He drops 2 of your lowest scores for your both quiz and homework. My Econ Lab, eText combination for $119.99

Good professor, homework is unlimited attempts, drops your two lowest ones and quizzes. The only complaint I have is that a lot of the time questions are not super straightforward and I found myself going back to the slides and chapters during doing them despite having studied it before.

Great prof! super straightforward with his grading.

Remote class, but the professor was engaged, on top of grading, and seemed to be available for any questions although I wouldn't personally know. Class structure and grading is pretty straightforward, generally one or two sets of homework/quiz a week on Pearson for that weeks' chapter(s), and the occasional canvas quiz with a midterm/final.

I took the scholar's Marco summer class, and it was a breeze. There is a lot of hw, but unlimited attempts through Pearson. His grading is straightforward: just complete all assignments, and it's an easy A.
