Definitely a fun course! His first time teaching it, but he does a great job. The material's really easy. Exams are fair, and cover mostly what we went over in class, not much out of the text. Definitely take him if it's offered again.

Tests are all M/C didn't have any assignments, exams are tough, sometimes hard to hear in class cause he speaks really, and fast. KNows alot on the topic.

Very interesting person to listen to. He uses his own examples during class from real experience he has gone through in working in Corrections. Great class and, as long as you study and pay attention in class, you'll do fine. I'll take more if I can.

Very easy no assignments all tests m/c and his notes r straight from the text book all u need to do in class is highlight wat he says and study that.

brutal exam be prepared the entire class met in the hall afterward and bemoaned the questions..the man is brilliant....

His lectures are clear, concise, and follow the text directly. His exams are multiple choice. I definately recommend taking his class.

He looks like he would have been a partier back in the day,so his appearance is deceiving if you would judge by the stereotype because he is very intelligent. He has very structured classes and is a down to earth guy.He isnt the easiest marker though. He was for Psych 101 but not for 202 it seems.He doesnt give the class opportunity to speak often

He knows what he's doing but his lectures are kind of boring. With all the notes you take, the textbook almost seems unnecessary, and don't buy the study guide because you won't need it! Midterm was hard and some of it didn't seem like it was covered in class. Overall I just couldn't get interested.

Very much enjoyed this class. Interesting stories that pertained to topic. Good with breaks and easy to take notes, dont have to write down as he talks can just follow overhead. Do recomend using computer to take notes otherwise your hand will cramp. Tests easy. Would like to take more classes with him.

This guy rocks. Psych of Addiction course very interesting. He knows his stuff and is very intriguing.

Great teacher drawing from interesting experience.

great teacher, funnier than hell. knows the topic very educated. lots of reading! but very very useful reading. tells relavant experiences

great teacher very knowledge able. lots of reading and papers.

i thought the class would be so boring bc of his monotone voice. super interesting. he has so much experience, and has awesome stories. no essay. loved the class. would definitely take a class with him again.

THERE JUST COUDLN'T BE a more straight foward prof - reading the txt is not required as he only tests what he lectures about - wanna know whats going to be on the 100+ mc exams? HA EASY did he talk about it? ;) btw he knows he looks sexy in his little shorts!

Very boring and monotone, bit hard to listen to but marks easy, not much work, just midterm and final exam and one small assignment. Though classes were a bit boring, he was very clear and thorough. Most of the exams were from the textbook - just a small amount from powerpoints

I enjoyed his classes, he was very straight forward and only gives out one assignment. I found him interesting in class, he has many stories that he shares and lots of experience. I am looking forward on having him as a prof for psych 102!

Great professor. Really breaks things down so anybody can understand. Attendance is important as his exams are pretty much based on his lectures. He is a fair marker and seems to care about the success of his students.

It's easy to do well in this class as long as you attend the lectures and spend a few hours studying the text in preparation of each test. Doesn't offer much out-of-class help but you shouldn't need it if you're attending the lectures: all the information is straight from the text, simplified into slides, which he then explains in greater depth.

LOVED HIM! A little monotone, but very straight forward. Reads off of slides, but only tests whats on the slides. Gives lots of breaks so you don't get bored. Tells hilarious stories to relate to the lecture. I took the class with Candace Taylor and failed, so I redid it with Brian and got a B-. I would definitely take a class with him again.

Super cool guy. I'm really glad to be in class with him. My last prof turned me off of Psyc, Bryan brought me back. Super helpful, super nice. Funny as hell. Easy to follow. Elaborates on power points. Tests are multiple choice. Highly recommend.

Great prof! Seriously, he has great stories that share his experience/wisdom.

Great Prof. Abit monotone but super cool and very willing to help and his exams are simple and straight forward

He is much nicer than other instructors.He is willing to help you anytime. If you failed on midterm for reasons, he would take that as a consideration when he gives final grade on this course.

Awesome teacher!!!! I loved his class mainly because of all his personal stories that he incorporated during lectures. He was extremely fair and only tested us on things that were covered in the lecture. Would definitely take another one of his class!

Great prof, with a great deal of knowledge. Posts lecture notes to myufv page. He speaks in a revolving tone can be tough to listen to for 3 hours. But he usually gives two breaks, so that helps. My only critique of his class is that no review whatsoever for exams. Exams include stuff that isn't in the chapter or never discussed in class.

Bryan is a very knowledgeable prof! Knows what he's talking about. He seems really laid back, and his tests are relatively fair as long as you study. No final paper. The only criticism is that he has a very mono-tone voice, so its easy to get bored. Nonetheless, a good prof! Would take a class with him again!

Bryan's class was entertaining. All lecture notes are available online and correspond with textbook chapters so studying is a breeze. His lectures are pretty basic, but he makes them interesting with examples from his own experience in the field. There is very little work besides tests and he is a fair marker. I would recommend taking his class.

Little monotone however good stories during lectures keeps it worth while. Class well set up and fairly interesting for basic first year material. non cumulative exams and fair.

Bryan basically reads off the power points that he has, but he has very interesting stories about his time working with criminals. I attended all of the classes but I'm not sure that it is essential as he posts the slides online. There were three exams, non cumulative, and a journal entry for every class worth 10% total. Straightforward guy.

Bryan is an amazing prof. He uses power point notes every class and explains them well. Just use the notes and read the textbook to study. m.c midterms with a few short answers, doesn't like cellphone use during lectures, really funny and willingly to help! Interesting class, would take him as a prof again.

Not a fan he is so boring, lectures the whole class and is very mono toned.

If you show up, take notes and use his slides as a guide for studying, there is no reason why shouldn't do well. He is pretty darn clear.

Bryan was a very average professor. The lectures are not overly interesting or boring, he just has easy-to-take-notes-from slides which you do the whole session, which I don't particularly mind. If you study A LOT and use the textbook and all of your in-class notes, you will do decent to well on his tests. Gotta work for it though for sure!

good prof. lectures are long but will let you out early. exams are not bad, as long as you study the text book and look over lecture slides. Exams were non-accumalitive.

Very knowledgeable about content. Gives a chance for students to write each sentence that's on the slide, he doesn't rush things. Only thing is that he doesn't really clarify what he wants on tests. So it can be hard to prepare yourself. He is a hard marker on the short answer Over all he is a good professor.

Brian's an amazing teacher. He has a great sense of humor, too. If something doesn't make any sense to you, ask him. He'll respond with kindness. A very professional professor and his classes are worth attending. He is excellent at explaining psychology and if you are going to take it, take Bryan's class. I strongly recommend this prof.

He's a good lecturer and throws in a lot of humour, though much is subtle and some reflects his age cohort, so not everyone (younger students) will get it. Makes an effort to get students involved. Assesses you on tests, written paper, participation, so more rounded. I'd take him again.

Bryan is funny, makes lectures interesting. No papers- just an informal journal based on what was taught that day (he doesnt even read them, easy 10%), graded on 2 midterms and a final. I found some questions on exams to be a little vague where a few answers could be the right one. All in all, solid class

He has very interesting stories and is a laid back, funny guy. His tests are a bit hard but they're always either MC or short answer. You don't use the textbook in class but it's recommended to read (I've barely read it, and due to his powerpoints I'm getting above a B) so it's more of a personal choice. Overall good teacher and would take again.

Good prof. Has lots of funny stories, interacts with class, very open to questions. All of the information he gives in lectures is on the powerpoint slides he posts to blackboard, so if you miss a lecture it isn't a big deal, though it's worth going. Rather hard marker, so make sure you get all of the details. Often just multiple choice tests!

Talks like a real surfer, (which he is!). Basically reads a powerpoint to you, if you know the textbook chapters you'll be fine. All based off midterms and exam, only multiple choice and 5 short answers. Make sure in the short answers you give lots of examples.

He is a good prof. Overall , I learned a lot in his class. Tho it can be boring sometimes because of his monotone voice. His tests were straight forward, though he's picky with his short answers, so make sure to include as much details as possible with examples.

Many here are saying he's boring when the exact opposite is true. He's an experienced guy, very knowledgeable and includes little snippets outside his field or vague references to incredibly interesting material. He's not boring. He does talk really slow,but this allows you to absorb the material. Not a hard class, geared towards HS kids.

This class is super boring but Brain does a good job. His lectures are super quick and cover everything you need to know for the exams. His exams are fairly easy as long as you go over the notes once or twice. I would definitely take a class with Bryan again

I really enjoy taking Bryan's classes. For 101/102 yes things were pretty boring and he could be more engaging but I love his stories. For 383 (drugs) you can tell it is his area. He does read off slides but offers extra info and was very helpful for the exam. Great guy and has some great insights into the area.

he is hands down AMAZING! i don't know why people complain because they simply are not trying enough and blame it on the poor guy !smh

Bryan is a really sweet guy. He genuinely cares about his student's and their success. He always makes time outside of class to help students with specific questions. Bryan does definitely expect students to put in the work to succeed. If you don't put in the time to study the material, his tests will be very tough to pass.

Let's start by saying lower level stats ruined my life and I had to take it twice. So, I was more than terrified beginning upper level stats. Bryan absolutely changed that within the first week. Awesome lectures that usually don't take more than an hour, genuine guy always willing to help, and clear expectations. I was stoked on this course.

I didnt find Bryans class that difficult. Make sure you have detailed short answers on your mid-terms and final with good examples. Also, make sure you do your research credits and learning assignment, thats a free 14%! Lectures can be boring just make sure you copy everything down. Still dont know how I got an A+

this is my second time taking psych 102. the first teacher sucked! but I decided to re-take the class for a better mark. I saw that Bryan Nadeau had an open spot. You do have quizzes but if you read and watch the video he provides will do great in his class. He'll help you understand things you don't know and make sure you know. the

Bryan is an awesome Prof, I really appreciated his lectures and the life examples that he gave within them. Just from really listening to what he has to say I learned a lot that can be applied to my own life and to my future. Bryan is a real down-to-earth man who is so kindly looking out for all of us fledgling students via speech. Thank you, Bryan

Bryan is an amazing professor! Really enjoyed taking psychology with him. I found his lectures insightful and loved when he talked about his past jobs in forensics. I never used the textbook to study. His powerpoint notes give u more than enough info for exams. Make sure you study and you will do fine. Easy tests if you study for them!

Course is poorly designed, there's barely anything to keep you engaged unless a test's coming up. There's some study participation and one assignment at the end of the course, that's it. That said, he's a great guy. Lectures are kinda funny and very interesting, if long at times. Don't like the course, but he does the best he can with what he has.

I honestly liked Bryan. I do find his voice to sound exactly like Joe from family guy. His tests may be a little harder compared to other psyc profs with a written component, but he gives hints to what the written question will be! I also found that the textbook helped me a lot

bryan made this class very straightforward as there was only one small assignment and 2 midterms + a final. his lectures got kind of boring but if you attended them, he would drop hints or directly tell you what is going to be on the exams! the exams were pretty fair and mainly stuff from his lecture slides!

I found I did well if I read the textbook and memorized his slides. He drops hints for short answers. Only take this class if you know how to study because your grade is essentially just 3 noncumulative tests. The lectures were interesting, although a bit long sometimes. He made the final easy which was nice.

Bryan's midterms are non cumulative which is great and they're a lot easier than some other people on here have said. His questions are typically very straightforward as long as you've thoroughly read the chapter and paid attention to when he gave hints in the lecture. Lectures can sometimes be long and boring.

Very nice guy, knowledgeable, shares interesting work experience, and will help you with anything if you ask. He gives hints in lectures on what will be on the exam, which always ends up being a written question. written questions on tests are marked hard, so you need to put a lot of detail in.

Bryan was amazing with answering questions as best he could and was always approachable. I found his tests to be quite challenging, but if you attend class he does just read the slides basically but he will also tell you short answer questions. You do have to read the book.

Overall great person, however his exams are based off the textbook so as long as you study and read you should be fine. You need to commit to reading around 50 pages per chapter.

I really enjoyed the class. Lectures are long, but he does give breaks which is very nice. If you ask questions and make flashcards you will succeed. It's important to be in class to know what the long answer questions will be. Tests are multiple choice with 3-5 long answer questions. There is only one written assignment, a journal reflection.

He was a great prof, although you do have to read the textbook in order to understand the content and some of the multiple choice questions on the exam are from the textbook. He also gives hints of what written questions might be on the exam. Also your mark is not just from the exams, it's also from some assignments, which help a lot!
