you all have no sense of humor. He is a great guy. Oh my!! You have to read the book, you would think you were in college or something.

Very helpful when you ask questions during office hours. Goes the extra mile to help, you just have to ask for it. Failed him first time because I quit going to class because I was so lost and did not want to ask questions. He really does care if we learn it or not as long as we care. Oh yeah, you better read the book word for word, to get an A

Difficult class, but I learned a lot. You need to ask questions, do the homework, and go to class to do well in this class.

He is probably the best math teacher I've ever had. He makes things very clear for me and I'm making an A for the first time in math because of him. If people would actually do the homework and listen, they'd pass easily.

He sometimes makes the class feel stupid, but all in all he's a wonderful teacher. He WILL help you... just don't expect not to go in that and not try. Ask questions and study, you'll do perfectly fine.

He's a good teacher who knows what he's talking about, but make sure that you do the homework and come to class everyday because he does give pop quizzes off the homework and will not let you make it up.

He is an amazing teacher!! He is a very helpful teacher. He pushes you hard, because he wants you to succeed! I would say take his class if you want to learn and are willing to work hard!

bad teacher and very hard

very helpfull and really rewards those who work hard, knows what he is doing and easy to learn from

How come all the people who claim to make an A in AP calculus in high school place into an applied calculus class? Wouldn't you test out of the requirement and at least pass the class? SHows you have no credibility. Self is a great teacher and very helpful!!

Willing to show examples, but usually makes you wait until after class on your own time

Horrible teacher..more into himself than his class...Super Cocky....is confusing... he helps you outside of class, buti would strongly recomend taking someone else

good, straightforward teacher. do all your homework and if you understand what you are doing, you will get at least a B. gives easy open-book pop quizzes every week or so and drops 2-4 lowest quiz grades.

Bryan is a great teacher, but he's not going to throw out A's; you have to earn them. You have to be in class and you have to do your homework or you'll be screwed. If you want an easy A, this isn't the class for you. If you want a solid understanding of calculus concepts, take his class.

Very helpful, considerate teacher. If you honestly care about your work, he goes out of his way to be available to help.

Great teacher. Really explains material well.

Although his attitude stinks horribly, Mr. self is a decent teacher. If you are struggling in class office hours helps alot. My advice is to do all the homework problems. If you hsve a question ask him after class or in office hours because he makes people feel bad for not knowing the material.

he is a great teacher. he wants everyone in his class to pass and makes it clear at the beginning of the year what each student should do to pass...he says he does not care about attendance but it is mandatory and rightfully so...he always teaches to the last minute of class and i never felt like i was wasting my time. I got an A in the class!

He is more than willing to work with you. Helpfull HINT go to his office hours in the beginning of the semester. Then at the end he will basicaly give you the grade.

I really like Mr. Self. He fully explained all of my questions that I had and seems very willing to help you pass his class. I like him. not a whole lot of homework, i did more homework in high school, actually.

A very hard, but good teacher. Really listens to students and is very good about answering questions and very patient. This will not be an easy A, but I am glad I have a teacher like Prof. Self to prepare me for advanced maths.

Easy teacher as long as you aren't a complete idiot. If you actually came to college to learn then you will have no problem.

He's very nice and very helpful. If you have trouble with anything see him during his office hours. He'll teach you until you get it. The book for the course isn't very good at explaining things but do your homework and ask questions in class and you'll do fine.

Self is an outstanding professor. He explains everything step-by-step. He is also readily available to answer your emails.

Self is great! Even though he says going to class is not manatory....GO! It really helps, and make sure you do your homework!!! If you keep up with the homework, and do the practice tests online the exams are fairly easy. Ask questions if you have them, good with emails and office hours.

Probably one of the best math teachers I've EVER had. Explains stuff really well so that you'll understand even if you're not good at math. Go to his office hours & make and effort. If you don't like you're grade & our making an effort tell him & he'll take care of you when it comes times to give out grades.

++ instructor. Doesnt mind to put in the extra work after class to help u. U just need to find him during his office hours. If you are having trouble, he will help as best he can, while still teaching you. Will not baby you, but will help you. If math isn't your strong suit though, may need to pick another professor. not always clear when teaching.

Pretty good teacher, usually goes over things exactly as they will be on the test. Will help you extra if you need extra help. If you go to class and do homework you should be fine

LOVED HIM! I took him my first semester and three semesters later he is still my favorite. there is a lot of homework but, it is all relevant!

Very good teacher. Always helpful when you need it. Does have hard tests but grades fairly. Go to class and do the homework and you should be fine. Definitely would take again.

He is amazing! The best math teacher I have ever had. As long as you do the work expected and show that you are trying he is happy to go out of his way to make sure you understand! Would def. recommend him!

He is a great professor! Very Helpful! Unless you use the textbook for extra practice, there's no need in purchasing one. He is pretty laid back with attendence but make sure u do the homework. He gives pop quizzes fairly often and you cannot make up the credit unless you attend class. Make sure you do your web assign b/c it really helps your grade

He is a really cool, laid back guy. He does not allow the use of calculators, which I thought would be a bad thing at first, but I actually understand math better because of this. If you do the homework, you should be fine. Also, he gives frequent pop quizzes.

Well, don't listen to the person below me.. He is the only bad review on here. Teacher is great. One review should not scare you. My Grandmother died during the summer session and he really cared. He was so nice about it and was very helpful teaching the stuff I Missed. Genuinely wants us to succeed but will make you better at math. Great guy/teach

He is a good professor. Not the best, but he explains everything pretty well. The online homework is not good at all. I would rather do book work. Overall he is good at what he does.

Bryan really cares about getting to know his students and is my favorite math teacher I've had. I hate math and am terrible at it but got an A- with minimal studying. There's a TON of WebAssign, which is unfortunate, but it will boost your grade. Study guides are very similar to the tests.

Straightforward and happy to help if you're willing to come to office hours. More homework than average but nothing too difficult and it helps a lot to prep for the exams and boost your average. If you can't pass his class, it's most likely due to your laziness.

Mr. Self is a great teacher. If you need help go to his office hours. There is a lot of webassign homework, but it actually can be the easy points for the class. He does give a lot of quizzes but quizzes usually count for only 5% of the grade. 4 tests, not super hard. Sometimes he might bump your grade up to the next letter grade if it is close.

This class was really easy but he's a really weird guy. He likes to pretend like he is the smartest person in the room and seems to enjoy when people are wrong during class. He also yells everything he says.

Awesome dude and awesome teacher. He gets kind of repetitive sometimes, but it's just to get his point across. Makes and posts detailed fill in the blank notes. He always makes himself available to help students when they need. He's stayed after class with me for an hour and a half on two separate occasions because I needed help with homework.

I loved this class because I though the way he set up homework assignments and worksheets was easy, but the material was still a difficult level, but I passed with an A+. I worked for it though. Easy class if you apply yourself and go to his office hours for help... he can sometimes come off as arrogant, but would take him again!

Loved the way lectures were setup.... there were always worksheets and he made time for students to reach out for additional help.... tests are always on material that has been convered!

His class wasn't bad. Tests adhere well to the material. He takes attendance every class. He can make you feel stupid if you ask a question in class sometimes, but he is very willing to help you out of class.

Mr. Self was awesome. His tests follow his lecturesnotes very closely. He knows his stuff and even better, he knows how to teach it to you. Would take again!

Okay so Mr. Self can get on your nerves when he gets aggravated but if you try and go to his office hours a couple times before your exams you'll do just fine and web assign can help your grade so try to keep it as high as you can he bumped my grade up a couple points so I could pass also he takes off points for every 6 absences!!

He clearly knows his stuff and explains it adequately, however his tests are significantly too long and you cant trust that what he says will be on the test will actually be on the test. He is very willing to help you, but he is very condescending and rude if you don't understand something.

Mr. Self was awesome. Very personable if you talk to him before/outside/after class, but once class started it was business. Always helped me in office hours. It's a hard class, but he's a cool guy.

I'm so thankful I was put into Bryan's class. He can be a smarts but he values student participation in his lecture, & his lectures are slow enough to where you can actually understand what's going on. He often runs over time for class, but you will definitely learn something. Go to his office hours, he is good at explaining things.

Good teacher. He is a little condescending if you don't understand something, but as long as you do the homework and show up to class you will be fine. Also their are random pop quizzes.

If you go to class and pay attention, his class is an easy A. Those students who have not done well, either have not paid attention or have a bad history with math. He offers extra credit for homework and his tests really aren't hard.

I took him for 119 and 130, he had amazing notes online that you print and use in class, they were so helpful. I am horrible at math and I was able to understand because of his teaching. He is nice, funny, and learns students' names. The only things I disliked were the pop quizzes. I would recommend him, especially if you aren't good at math.

Tough class, but he wants and respects hard work.

Self is a caring and straight forward professor. He heavily encourages students to ask questions and come to office hours if they don't understand. Self is always willing to help and take extra time to explain things when asked.

I would not have passed freshman math had it not been his willingness to work with me. You put forth the effort and he will match you every step of the way. I wish I had had more teachers like him. He spent tons of office hours with me. This was back in 03. Heck, I wish I had more people like him in my field.

Such a nice professor. Takes time out of his day to work with students if you just go to his office hours. Other than that, he is extremely straight to the point during his classes and will answer any questions that you have.

Prof. Self is actually the best human ever. He is incredibly understanding and willing to help. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and speaking with him. Make sure you do the notes before class and the homework but it isn't incredibly difficult. The course will be difficult if you don't put in the work though. Make friends with your group members!!!!

He was an okay professor. Very bad at time management, a few papers I didn't finish and he would tell me what to do on the ones I didn't get to (even though I knew how to do them). Just do the homework and go to class, you'll be fine.

He is genuinely a nice and funny guy and wants you to succeed in the class. This class was not hard for me so maybe that's why I think so highly of him but as long as you are watching the lecture videos on time, you will do well in the class. Much better than taking the class under the instructor with a random TA.

Good guy, wants you to succeed, tough grader, a lot of homework, can pass if you actually go to class and try.

Professor Self is a good teacher and teaches the material in a way that is easy to understand. There is lots of homework, 3 big tests, and group work. He can sometimes be condescending but is overall a good guy. He is also easy to access outside of class. Take this professor if you want a pretty good grade and understand the knowledge in Math 123.

He is a personable professor and will drop anything to help you. While the class is difficult, he provides many great resources for students! One of the better Finite Math Teachers!!

Professor Self is a great guy. You do pretty much have to teach yourself the material through lecture videos, but it is all reviewed in class. He's a very approachable guy, and there are plenty of opportunities to test yourself on the material before exams. This class is also a pass or fail, so it won't affect your GPA.
