very great teacher. great tests reviews.

He is a graet teacher. Knows how to teach you so you understand it. It is not an easy class but he gives very detailed test reviews. Would recommend.

He is a good teacher. It is a hard class. He is very good at explaining things and is willing to help you if you ask. He doesn't have alot of personality but is one of the best math teachers at this school. Gives good reviews for the test.

Does a great job explaining concepts. His tests are difficult, but fair. He has very detailed and effective test reviews. Would definately recommend.

makes math easy. but... he might trip you up on his tests from time to time

Great Teacher, will not let you pass by doing nothingj,have to work for grade. Willing to help students on a personal basis after class on his time. Test reviews are great, highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn.overall.

he's the easiest teacher in the math department do all of your assignments and fail every test you will still get a c he understands that not everyone gets math and all he wants to see is effort on your side to justify the grade his personality is very dry and laid back but don't let this get in the way because he does want to help

I found his class to be a little boring 1) because it was a math class and 2) his personality is a little wierd with a very dry sense of humor. however, the class was very easy and layed back. I would take his class again.

Excellent Teacher!! I had trouble with the previous math classes I've taken, but I understood everything he taught very well. He answers all questions very thoroughly, even in his emails. Highly recommend this teacher!

His grading is very fair.

He was an alright teacher. He was not very easy. I kind of liked his class, he teaches okay.

For being such a fear-inspiring class he does an excellent job of teaching you the ropes. The homework is good practice for his tests. He's clear in his lectures and is always willing to walk through tough problems from the homework. I've had a lot of lousy teachers, but Brinkerhoff is is pretty decent. Highly recommended.

He is a good teacher, but he takes forever to explain concepts so I got pretty bored. He's pretty helpful if you e-mail him. make sure you go to class though because he gives surprise quizzes. They are so easy, you just take the answers from your homework, so just go to class, do your homework, and study for tests.

For Elementary Math teachers he is the best professor you could register for. Don't get anyone else. He really wants you to pass and he gives you points for hw and quizzes. I recommend him for Math 2010 and 2020, but you still need to stay caught up on hw and study hard, its not easy but he is a very good guy and he'll help you!

EXCELLENT TEACHER! Professor Brinkerhoff came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Seriously, If you can try to get him for whatever math class you take. He cares and will help you as many times as it takes without out making your feel stupid. Also, if you email him a question he will promptly send you a detailed email back. HIGHLY RECOMMEN

His tests were hard, but he made sure we learned the stuff. Good teacher.

I actually really enjoyed this class alot!

Great teacher! If didn't get an A you didn't do two things:1. go to class 2. do the homework. Math is math, and those two things are a must.He gives you the questions that are on the test so it is easy to study and do well on them. If you get stuck on a problem on the homework you can email him and he answers your question really fast. Great Man

I took him during high school through the ednet program. He was really boring, so I rarley actually listened to the lecture, I wouldn't even have come if the school didn't make it mandatory. Just read the book, do the homework, and study for the tests you'll be fine.

Is occasionally witty in a dry, mathy way but generally teaches in a very monotone style so that it is hard to stay focused. He does a great job of answering student emails on math questions though which is great for students who don?t like to ask questions in class.

I love comments about how you are an A student but can't take tests. You can't be an A student without passing tests. His tests are easy if you listen to his review. He tells you EXACTLY what to study. Is he boring? Yes! Math is boring. I don't expect him to dance around like school house rock. He is a very good teacher.

Excellent teacher. He made a difficult subject much easier. I wish I had him for my 1050 class and I might have learned something. I never felt like he was trying to make us feel stupid and I went to him several times after class and he helped me. Always answered every homework question someone asked. Highly recommend.

The good: He is extremely willing and available to help out and answer questions (even ones that last an hour). Never made any of us feel stupid. The Bad:The final was super hard, and he is not willing to budge on schedule conflicts unless you provide a doctors note. He also spends time explaining what NOT to do instead of what I really need to kno

I liked this teacher, he will break it down step by step for you so that you can get what to do next. He is not boring like other comments have said he was. They just played to much as use math as a class to sleep in. He is VERY CLEAR in his teaching I would tell everyone to take him for math. Helps you with any question.

I really liked this teacher. He would go over questions from the homework from the night before and when he had quizes they were often covered from those questions. If you pay attention he makes jokes all the time they are just dry so if you have that sense of humor you will love this class. He gave you just enough homework to grasp the concept.

Brinkerhoff was amazing! If you want to actually learn stuff, then disregard the comments about his personality and how he comes off to the students. He is such a good teacher and he is SO clear about what he's teaching. He really knows his stuff and if you do the homework and pay attention, this class becomes way easier than you think.

I took math 1050 from him twice. The first time I did not get him at all and recieved a low grade. But the second time I applied myself better and got a good grade. He is very boring so try your hardest to pay attention and take good notes. His tests aren't super hard if you do the study guide. Use the math lab as much as possible!

Mr. Brinkerhoff is a great teacher. He gives examples in class that are just like the ones he gives on the test. As long as come to class and apply yourself you will do fine. He is a teacher that you need to attend the class. But if you attend class and do the work you will do fine in the class. Not an easy A. But he is fair, helpful, and cares.

If you go to class and pay attention you will do fine. Tests are ok. Very boring professor but if you force yourself to pay attention he knows his stuff.

He does not take attendance but has random quizzes which are just the answers to the previous nights homework. Not too much homework. He is very monotone and seems very bored while teaching but does explain things well.

Explains everything very thoroughly. Not the most interesting class, but he obviously loves math and is VERY good at teaching it. I have never done well in math and I got an A in his class.

Here's how he does test reviews: "Any questions about the test?" I'll say one good thing about him: unlike other Math professors at UVU, he can actually speak English.

I hate how the tests are only 50 minutes long. You will lose points if you go over. Instead of homework, he gives quizzes from the homework assignments which can actually work for you if you are lazy and want to get a passing grade without doing a lot of homework. His tests are kind of tricky. Overall he was good.

He is a nice teacher, he has his own way of teaching sometimes its easier sometimes its not. he will tell you whats on the test so you know exactly what to study. he's monotone but still cracks a few jokes every now and then

This professor is very nice, and if you come into his office he is there to help you out, however, his tests are very hard, and there is little to no "mercy" if you get behind. If you struggle with math, do not take this class from him, you will not do well. His 5 tests throughout the semester are pretty easy, but the final is very difficult.

I really liked his class. He has a dry sense of humor, which I think most people didn't understand. But he was extremely helpful whenever I asked for help and he doesn't grade harshly. If he sees how hard you are trying he will help you. The only thing I'd complain about is that he needs to set a higher time limit for the tests.

Obviously it's a math class and it sucks, but I felt like he really helped me understand the material better than most professors. He answers questions, respects students, and genuinely wants to help his students succeed. I'd recommend him to anyone who struggles with math. Show up, pay attention, do homework, study for exams and you'll be fine.

He makes a hard class easIER. It's still a hard class, but he teaches to the HW and then bases his tests from the HW classes. His tests are easy. He tells you which problems and makes the numbers more simple like 0's and 1's. Only 13 problems on every single test. The only problem is the 50 minute limit on all tests. Take this class from him though

I found Colin to be quite a funny teacher in a cynical manner. His approach isnt the most exciting but he surprisingly teaches the material very well and much better than the confusing textbook. His tests are easy if you do all the homework questions. Probably the most annoying part of the course was having to complete the ALEKS homework.
