He's a great guy! Computer science is a hard course and he's doing a good job.

Friendly guy, easy to understand but moderate exam but extremely long(no time)

fair teacher, good sense of humor, friendly, easy to talk to

nice voice.... good facial expressions.... good balance when erasing the board.

boring as hell

khoeler sux, green wins by default

He always pause, dead silence.. in class. 1050 is boring for me!

somewhat sacastic but very helpful.. lenient marker.. looks like Ned Flanders

Good professor, a bit unclear at times.. Annoying at first because his sense of humor is 'unique' but you soon learn to appreciate it... Especially since the course is mindnumbingly boring (not the instructor, the course)

Brian is a pretty good teacher. Easy to approach and actually attempts at making this simple class more interesting.

Great guy!

He is a good teacher.However,his exam is not that easy.

he tries to help students, but it isn't very effective. his lab exams are tough but you can do good on the written exams if you study

He is such a humor. never get bored in his class

good teacher, hard marker. If you are an ESL, don't take his class.

Mr.Green for great teacher. He teaches from the basic, he knows the material very well, but his tests can be tough but it is fair. Highly recommend for any computer class

He's not as bad as a lot make him out to be. I'm a guy and he gives me a hand on work all the time. Of course, he would not help you slackers if you dont ask for it.

Nice teacher, nice person, very sarcastic to the lzy students but very helpful if youre a hardworking student. And yeah, he look a lot like ned flanders, glasses, the way he talks, and those moustache

Great teacher. Not sure what some of the negative comments are about. Very clear, very fair, great notes, makes java and OOP concepts easy to learn. You will be best off taking 1181 when Bryan is teaching vs. other teachers. Have taken two classes with him now, both have been great.

Good teacher, knows his stuff. Easy to understand. Gives out challenging and interesting assigments. I'd totally reccommend him over most other CPSC teachers.

He's a generally nice guy. He is a bit of a pain when it comes to getting an answer out of him sometimes. I found him quite clear and understanding. If you don't pay attention then you deserve what you get. Sometimes he acts like he's teaching elementary school, with a child like voice. He's a bit of a picky person in everything.

What makes Bryan stand out from other teachers is the fact that he loves his job and if he sees that you are trying to learn,he will help you out in any way he can but you need to ask him questions, if you don't get it.He is always available outside class to help you out.Very challenging assignments but he will give you lots of tips and direction.

Great teacher. Does a great job teaching and is very helpful to students. Truly cares about how students are doing. Like any course, hard work is required. He understands students and will recognize those that work hard. Does not really follow the book, but his class notes are enough. Work hard on assignments and you will do great.

LONG assignments, enthusiastic instructor though, can't over stress length of assignments (and midterms)

It's true, Bryan doesn't FORCE-FEED you the answers to every question. What he does do is give you the knowledge to figure out those answers for yourself and that is what CompSci is all about. That's why he's one of the best CompSci teachers at Langara. If you like CompSci you'll like his classes, if you don't like CompSci then DON'T TAKE IT.

Easy course. Medium homework load. Make sure you attend labs to complete lab asssignments. Lectures are important, though because it's an easy course, it may be neglected. Bryan is humorous and makes lectures enjoyable so might as well go... right? And attendance reflects grade as well.

A little bit of a wacko but the course load is light. Nice guy and will help you if you need it. Lab exams are very easy for comp sci. Take this course, very easy 1000 comp sci

Before this class, I know nothing about Java programming.After this class, I am comfortable with it. When you ask him a question, he won't tell you the answer directly. His teaching style is good for smart students cause he cause you to think and understand codes. He is one of the best CPSC professor in my list.

Brian is a good teacher. I don't have problem with his "go-search-it-up" style.

I am praying he will be my prof for future CPSC courses! He does have a "learn it yourself" way of teaching but he gives you enough info in order to do so. I may not have done well but what I've learned in his class gives me a solid ground to work off of. Go to class in order to understand Powerpoint notes and you'll do fine~

Decent teacher. He works through the material with you and is available for help when needed. Can seem a little patient or condescending sometimes but over all very nice and fairly approachable. Material is fairly easy as long as you can read instructions properly :P

Great guy. Very happy and up beat teaching style. If you attend classes you will get a good mark. Its still possible to get a good mark without going to class, he is very organized and posts everything online. He does use a bit of a teach-yourself method but I think it works very well.

Great prof, class was a piece of cake, as long as you can read the lab instructions, follow his notes, and ask questions if you need to. Lab exams are open book, so if you understand the material or know where to look if you don't, you should pass with flying colours.

Kay so first 2 weeks of class, I thought he was a horrible prof. He took forever going nowhere and he was straight up weird and awkward. But disgarding those 2wks, he's probably one of the best profs I've had. He genuinely cares about the students in his class, and tries to remember each and every single one. Great guy. Good prof. Labs are helpful.

First two weeks I thought he was terrible. Awkward, answering questions with questions. After everyone got used to each-other, amazing. His lectures are easy to pay attention to, he's good at making you think about how to solve problems. Don't expect an easy grade though, you need to familiarize yourself with the java to succeed in this course.

First 2 weeks were terrible! Awkward at first because he wants to get to know the class. Once he is used to everyone by name, he becomes one of my favourite profs. Lots of passion on CPSC, genuinely wants you to learn the concept not memorize. Listen to his lectures and you will do well! Only complaint is he is a slow marker but he is fair. Listen!

Great guy. Good solid teacher. I could see how some people may find him "weird" or "annoying" but I got along with him really well.

One of the best teachers (and class I guess) I've ever had at Langara. First 2 weeks was slow and boring, but he needs to cover the basics. After that, talk to him and ask for help whenever possible. His quizzes, midterms, and final exam all reflect on his practice problems and what he teaches. Take is class. TAKE IT!

Easy going and accept others suggestions and comments. Textbook for CPSC2030 is absolutely not used at all during lecture or lab. Open book, internet during quizzes and exams, that was nice. I find the labs to be quite reasonable, if you know it then you're in good shape, otherwise think harder! Flexible with lab due dates as well.

Bryan is a great teacher, one of my favorite at Langara. He's not the easiest teacher, tests and assignments can be challenging, but he's teaching you what you need to know. You have to work hard to do well in his courses, but he's fair with his students. My second course with Bryan. He's a must have if you're doing computer science at Langara.

Very helpful although he gives way too much work and assignments. Needs to utilize the computer for exams. Doesn't teach much so you have to read a lot for this course.

Bryan is a fantastic professor, he loves his job and it shows. He is very approachable and helpful both in and outside class. The course felt very fast paced, as it covered many topics. Expect a high workload, with weekly readings, quizzes, one assignment per lab session (2 a week) and more. It is difficult to keep up, but you will learn a lot. :)

Bryan's awesome if you're really into CPSC. Every lecture was engaging and interesting and everyone took part in the discussions. He doesn't have many parameters to follow for your lab and assignment work so you have to take some initiative and spend a few extra hours in the lab to get things done right.

Very practical. Open books (and Internet) exams. A lot of homework and studying on your own. Quite interesting lectures.

I really liked Bryan as a prof, he was helpful but never gave you the answer, instead made you worth through it. Sometimes however I left more confused then I started. This was frustrating but in the end I had a larger understanding of the context. Show up to class, take notes and finish labs you'll be fine.

Very thoughtful and engaging teacher. Good lesson plans and helpful in labs. Tests can be tough but he is very fair

very helpful and amazing instructor !!

Bryan doesn't tell you answers directly but guides you to figure out the answers to your questions. This is the best kind of teaching style imo to prepare you to be a good software & web developer. He is very caring; I once came late to a midterm due to studying late at night and being tired from work, but he let me still take the midterm.

His lecture is energetic and interesting to hear. The knowledge from this class will be useful for designing apps/products in the future. However, lab sections are hard since he expects us to know how to code in Swift by ourselves with only 3 in-class lectures. Group projects are fun though; he allows us to be creative with our product designs.

He is really a real gem in the computer science faculty. I would love to take him as my instructor again

For students who have negative comments about him, he is using a flip classroom style where you self study and read the book before the lecture and he supplies the class for the diffcult parts... Really teaches you the course well... If you just wanna pass don't waste your time....

Bryan is very kind and overall a great instructor. He genuinely cares about his students and would often ask us for feedback, and check in to make sure we were learning. His teaching style requires you to do lots of reading before class, then he fills in the gaps and answers questions. If you are engaged and ask questions you will do well.

Awesome prof! He is knowledgeable and all his lectures are really interesting. I often go to his office hours, and he patiently explains things until I fully understand. He makes you think instead of just telling answers. I recommend taking his class if you are actually interested in CS and want to learn. I'll definitely take his course again.

One of the few professors that actually cares about his students. He is happy to answer and help with any problems you have and he goes out of his way to do it. Weekend quizzes suck and his exams heavily rely on you reading the textbook but as long as you do the assignments and go to class, you will do fine.

Very knowledgeable. He gives lots of homework but for 1050 with such a wide variety of topics you need lots of practice.

Bryan helped me to discover a new passion for computer science. His exams were strictly based on lecture notes and quizzes based on textbook material, making his exams very straightforward. His labs are quite challenging in some aspects, but it helped me to deepen my understanding of the material. It is quite clear he cares for his students.

He is an awesome professor. I took CPSC 1150. His way of teaching is amazing as he explains all the concepts thoroughly and the lectures are very engaging. I got 95-100% in every lab. Although his labs and assignments we lengthy but I got to learn a lot about designing programs and Java. He also advised me about making side projects for placements.

Brians's teaching style was very engaging and I actually absorbed a lot of the content that he taught. Although his class can get difficult at times and it could be hard for you to achieve an A. You will also have to attend his classes to fully understand everything. And student teachers can sometimes be bad markers and helpers.

His lectures are quite informative. However, he often tries to get you to answer your own questions when you have problems which can sometimes be unhelpful but he does this to try to get you to think deeper.

Bryan is super fun and witty. His lectures are clear and engaging. He is really caring and will try to help you as much as he can if you let him. He wants to teach you how to think, so may not give you a straight answer, but it will be the answer you need in order to grow.Class is tough, but I would take him again as my prof without hesitation

Honestly, no matter the professor you take, the class is hard if you haven't done any programming before. That aside, Bryan himself I would 100% recommend. His lectures are engaging and he does have pop quizzes every other week or so. The labs and assignments were pretty doable but not easy. He's also very responsive to emails & open to questions.

Bryan is a great professor at langara. His lecture are amazing and engaging. he gives you a chance and hints to solve the problem by yourself which will help you to learn something new. His labs and assignments are bit challenging but you will learn good concepts from them.

Can take a learning curve if you're new to programming, but lectures and assignments helped get the core concepts to "click." All assignments and labs had clear rubric criteria, labs were both individual and with groups (assigned or chosen depending on lab). There were a handful of pop quizzes, though they're only worth a few percent.

really good prof

Lectures are clear, provides multiple examples. Labs are weekly and based on the lectures but you must apply your own thinking to solve them, which I like because you're learning. Lots of pop quizzes but as long as you pay attention to lectures it's easy. NOTE: I already knew how to code before this class, so it may have been easier to me.

Phenomenal instructor. Very kind and understanding. If you need help, he's more than happy to assist you.

he is really a nice professor. I took him in Last Semester. His assignments are tough.Throughout the semester I was thinking I took bad decision of taking him as professor but now I am really thankful to him cause just because of him I got interest in Java and now I just love Java.

Professor Bryan is engaging and wants you to learn. The class can be challenging, but using resources like the free textbook, attending lectures, and tools like Unstuck ai can really help. Overall, a rewarding experience if you put in the work.

Bryan Green is an excellent professor whose lectures are well-paced, making the material accessible to everyone. He is highly approachable during office hours, always ready to clarify concepts if ur in doubt. If I retook 1150, I'd pre-read notes to understand lectures. Stay on top of labs, assignments, and surprise quizzes, and you'll do great 👍

Bryan is very kind and very patient with students. He is willing to answer any and all questions, but he answers in a way that tries to make you learn rather than remember. He did have quizzes at random and gave out a lot of homework, but for my first ever coding experience he taught me a lot. This class is doable with no prior cs experience

A gem! He is truly a gem! If you really wanna learn Computer Science concepts, he is THE BEST TEACHER at campus! I mean he's so patient with the students, gives the ultimate feedback, is always ready to help, clears concepts with depth & precision! I would have taken all CPSC courses if he would be teaching them!

Best teacher Ive had at langara. Anyone who fails this course clearly doesnt care about comp science. He deserves 10 stars.

Look, man, if you can't pass CPSC 1150 with Bryan Green, maybe CS isn't the right fit for you. Regardless of your experience with Java, he takes you directly from algorithms to writing code and implementing it. If you've written any Java code before, this course will be a cake walk.

HE IS REALLY GOOD but u gotta put in efforts

He is an excellent professor. His assignments and labs train you for the next course. If you are new to programming, his course won't be easy. I took an introductory course online and many of the difficult concepts that I could not understand before just vanished after taking his course. Highly recommend!

He give pop up quiz but it is not difficult. If you listen to his lectures, you will be ok. From my experience, all assignments, quizzes and tests can get partial marks if you write something to try to answer to questions even it is not fully correct. His lectures is not difficult to understand (I am not native English speaker)

Really good professor!

Funny guy and chill dude. He clearly cares about his students and encourages engagement. Surprising, he bothered to remember the name of all the students in his class. Relatively high assignment load. He doesn't care if you do other things during class time. Be careful of pop quizzes. The practice isn't that similar to the actual exams.
