Clay is such an enthusiastic professor. I got so much out of each of his lectures and he will go to great lengths to make sure you understand the concepts. Somehow he knows when you are confused even if you haven't actually said anything. He will thoroughly prepare you for all your homework and every test. BEST math teacher I have ever had.

Clay is a great teacher. If you are good at math, he might not be the professor for you. He will go over concepts over and over again and can sometimes get boring because you understand it so well. So if math is your best subject, maybe try another professor. If math is hard for you, he would be the absolute perfect professor for you!

This man is seriously the greatest math teacher of all time. He is thorough, clear and passionate about what he does and the success of his students. This class requires doing the homework by hand, on paper which helps so much more than doing it online or though mymathlab. If you don't take this class from Clay, you are seriously missing out.

He is an awesome teacher. He cares about his students and is very patient when you don't understand the concept. Make sure you stay caught up on your homework because it counts as a chunk of your grade and it reflects the tests. Great teacher though and I highly recommend this class!

Clay was pretty helpful, but he sometimes would spend too much time on the simple things and breeze through the pretty hard things. He also promised to review in class and most of the time didn't fall through. I did not have time for after class because of work so I couldn't go and ask for help. But he is willing to help you if you have the time.

Clay is a great professor. He truly cares if a student gets the concept or not. If you fail his class it's because you either didn't go or didn't take advantage of the after class time andor open lab opportunities. Other than that you should pass because of how well Brown explains.

Sincerely interested in his students success, Clay Brown gets what its like to not get math. I was impressed by his easy manner in front of a class. He's very friendly and approachable, always eager to help. YOU go ASK him for help and hell bend over backwards to get you to understand. I still hate math-- just less now. Thanks Clay! :D

Clay was very clear and easy to understand. I have had a very difficult time in the past with math and all throughout this course found myself waiting for the hard part to come. With the clarity that Clay taught with I didn't find any of it hard. He makes himself available for questions and is very easy to work with if you need extra help.

Clay is a great professor for most students. He stays after class to help you with homework if needed. He explains things clearly when asked questions, and uses multicolored markers for even more clarity. Homework is due each unit which helps if you stay on top of it. He told us his online pass rate is much lower then in the classroom setting.

Clay is an amazing teacher. He teaches math very clearly and teaches to multiple levels of understanding. There is a fair amount of homework (paper & pen) but it all applies to the tests. The course is broken up into 4 units so there are 4 tests and a final exam. He is very willing to help with any questions you might have. Highly Recommend!

He is a really nice guy. The class and the work were just very difficult. His teaching style was just giving examples and you have to follow along to learn, he does not actually teach you the process, you just have to grasp the concept yourself (which was very difficult for me).

I had him for an online-only class but he gave the class access to another class he teaches lectures learning the same stuff.

I took his Math 1010 online. Great professor!! All the homework assignments are an automatic 100% because you get to submit an answer as many times as you need until you get it right. There is a quiz for each chapter - unproctored and you also get 3 tries on every question so its hard to not get 100%. The midterm and final are proctored.
