If I wanted to teach my self I would have kept my tuition. Modules program Hawkes Learning Systems is the worst, Bryant wasn't much help. Yes he is easy going, but what's the point if your not learning anything. He skips too many steps in the teaching process. He says he's going to do something and then doesn't. Not recommended.

If you take some time to talk to him, he is by far the most helpful professor I have encountered at IRSC. The most important thing he taught his Differential Equations class is how to approach a problem without a structure or format and seek to prove an aspect of it. He is still young, but has tremendous potential as an outstanding teacher.

He's not the best, but certainly not the worst. He skips a few sections and usually starts with the hardest stuff in the chapter and ends with the easiest. Also math xl is part of the grade.

Seems like a nice guy and wants you to succeed, but makes things a lot more complicated than it seems. The MathXL hw is very time consuming and gets very annoying after a while, but if it wasn't for that I would have a B in the class and not an A. However I would say he's better than Hensley and Davis.

To pass this class you must have patience and you also need to study hard. If you dont understand something you can as him but in the end it might just be best if you go to the ASC lab.

He goes way too fast in his straight 2 and a half hour lecture. No breaks. No greeting the class before scribbling on the board. He seems to expect for you to know and memorize the material within 2 days and doesn't respond to emails. Doesn't tell you where he gets the numbers from or when he simplifies so your always playing catch up. Never again.

You will be taking notes through out the entire class period, fast pace. You may ask questions and he will answers them. I mainly learned from the online assignments. The homework will give you the answers after a couple of failed attempts leaving you with perfect 100's. Defiantly recommend.

Nice professor, but his teaching methods aren't very clear. Just seems to write math on the board, skips steps because he does them in his head, doesn't explain very well on how to do problems. If you took intermediate algebra the pior semester and understood it, you can do fine in this class. He will answer any questions you have though.

Informs you about quizzes before the next class. Only gives you about 7-15 minutes to complete quizzes. Quizzes are 2-4 questions; tests are 14-20 questions. Do the hw and study from it.

Dr. Bryant moves at a comfortable pace throughout the material, and has students try it on their own in between moving on to the next topic. He goes around the room to check on students individually, which is an easy way to ask questions or get extra help. Tests are fairly easy, providing you paid attention in class.

The tests are 150 points so if you get lost somewhere along the 10 sections he speeds through in 4 classes in 2 weeks you're extremely likely to get a low grade. You will definitely have to teach yourself everything. He may allow resubmit assignments but you will get 25% off when you turn them back in so your grade will barely go up a percentage.
