VERY MEAN

HORRIBLE teacher! WARNING: DO NOT TAKE KEVIN BREWER!!! He doesn't know how to teach and is always confused by what he says. He always believes that what he thinks is always right and doesn't listen to what students have to say. It's either his way or the highway. Also, if he doesn't like you there is a great chance you will not pass his class.

I couldn't believe it. A teacher that gets upset when u smile. He kicked my friend out of the class because she was smiling. He's a bigg pain in the a$$. He's real strict, and his teaching method is so disorganized, I couldn't understand and I dropped his class. NOT RECOMMENDED!!

Donot take this teacher for he is the worst ever and you will be wasting your money.

He seems like he hates teaching and dislikes the students. Seems like a good guy but should find something he cares about. Focus on students being quite than trying to make math understandable. Should try teaching students like adults. So confusing. Take another teacher

i really didnt like this teacher, i cannot remember anything from this class. i never really felt i understood anything whenever i listened to him lecture. his homework was overwhelming but then he only graded one or two and the tests were confusing. i was not satisfied with this teacher one bit.

Math is my thing! I love math..but that all changed as soon as I walked into Brewer's classroom. Omg, he has to be the worst teacher I have ever taken. I didn't understand one thing he taught, because he was SOOO disorganized. I don't know how he ever became a professor. AVOID HIM and take Pinto!

I aced AP Statistics in high school. First 5 wks here were great & I didnt see why there so many bad comments. Walked out of the first test thinking I got an A+ but got it back with a C- (most of the class got Ds/Fs). He uses ridiculous trick questions & gives no partial credit. Listen to the comments on this page! Avoid this teacher! I wish I did

Talks down to his students. Very disrespectful. Openly discourages questions by making fun of the question/person asking. Very sarcastic. Feedback is slow so you are building new information ontop of a lack of mastery on the previous chapter. Tests/quizes sometimes cover information that was not included in homework or barely lectured on.

He yelled at one person. He accused her of using a cell phone under her desk. She held up her hands...look no phone she was just anxous and handwrinng. He didnt even apologize! She looked like she was going to cry. This guy does not like teaching at a community college.

Please beware, This teacher is literally insanly boring, and WEIRRRRRRDDDDDD!!!!

He has no teaching skills and should be gone. He doesnt help the students and always skips to another chapter with out a test, then a week later, does a test. He is confusing, hopeless, and is a overall bad teacher. Be aware of going into his class! you can't even blow your nose without getting in trouble. URG!

Very bad teacher. He gives the work and says do it. I had my ipod on my desk not doing anything and he thought it was my phone and asked me to leave I dropped the class after that. He is very hard to pay attention to. I knew another kid that was in his class that stayed in and said there was 5 people left at the end of the year. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!

Worst Teacher I've ever had period. Don't ask questions because he will give you an answer to a question you didn't ask. I've been told by other students he is the worst teacher at Solano, and now i believe it!

He went through the book cover to back in a wink, an average of 33.33 problems per day that he will never correct, look at or give you credit for. He takes plasuare in treaking his students in his quizzes and test. Class started over full, in a good day it ended with 14 students and maybe less than half have passed. Solano is in the business of mak

Do not take. I know this is harsh but he can not teach. Why is he still at Solano?

Do not take him. He does not know how to teach. He makes you do a ton of problems for homework and he only grades one or two of them. He speeds through everything and expects you to just know it. I don't know we he is still at Solano.

By far the worst math teacher I have ever had, and we are only in the 4th week of the semester. He gives a ton of hw that he never grades, and gives a quiz everyday. He marks you down on everything you do basically. He is very hard to understand and if you ask a question he doesn't give a straight answer. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Idk why he is teaching.

WORST TEACHER IN THE HISTORY OF MATH!!! He is very rude, does not help his students, and will not clarify anything. He rushes through all the material. Tests are insane! When 28 out 30 students fail the first test it is the teachers doing.

Bad... Just bad. Do not sign up for his classes!

When I received my test, he chuckled at me. I got a 33% and there were possibly 6 or 7 who scored higher. The girl next to me took AP calc and only scored an 11% We dropped.

horrible teacher, cant even be a minute late, and if you are he kicks you out of class. his notes are very confusing and he def has his favorite students, if your not one of them he is rude and disrespectful towards you.

Brewer is a sub-par teacher, you have to be pretty knowledgeable of concepts and know how to take in new material in a small amount of time. He is very specific and technical when it comes to all your work, if it's not what he taught you're gonna see a B exam turn into a C exam. 4 Exams, 1 final, do the MAC assignments and study from the bool

Not afraid to embarrass you. Is very abstract when it comes to lectures. Expects you to know it all. Does not go over everything thoroughly. Terrible at lectures (tends to jump around); always seems so unsure of what he's saying. Teaches the class as if you're a math major. Never likes to go over any hw answers; hesitant when it comes to helping.

Come in less than 1 minute late or get up to use bathroom/sharpen pencil or anything, counts you as absent. Quizzed everyday, only gives you 5 minutes. Makes AT LEAST 3 errors a day on problems. Have a question? He'll tell you to see you after class, after class he leaves. Marks you wrong if you get an answer right because it wasnt the way HE gotit

Do me a favor and don't take his class. Don't get me wrong, he knows his stuff very well, it's just that he doesn't know when to slow down the material to make sure everyone is on the same page,majority of my class already dropped this class.

Brewer is the type of teacher that doesn't take the time to learn students names and seems uninterested if you pass or not. He lectures all class and there's a quiz everyday . He doesn't care for the work that you put in , he only wants things done his way and making sure you answer in the way he wants. I highly recommend not to take him

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!! HE isn't good professor to work with. You are not going to learn anything.

Hard class, to simply put it. Students within the class weren't given access to their grades and there is not a lot of feedback. The class is test heavy, and lectures can be seemingly rather long. I can tell that the professor clearly tries, and that statistics may be hard, but at the end of the day, 20 people dropped and withdrew out of 40 of us.

I am honest. This teacher is extremely difficult and it is almost close to impossible to pass his class. The average grade was D and C in the class I attended, I dropped early, so I would not know the results of all the students.

As a student at this particular campus, I have taken my first math course and I can tell you that this teacher Is very challenging per se. He is essentially a calculus teacher I presume and the level of difficulty in each question during exams were far beyond what was covered. He really wants to make us think as hard as we which is not easy.

His lectures and instructing were by no means well structured or delivered. The only thing your grade depended on was the exams. We never did many practice problems in class, and he never did much of a review before exams in class. You definitely need to read the book and do the homework and review in the book.

Seems to have some hidden biases, grades tough and takes points off if your work doesnt make sense to him regardless of your solution. Gives quizzes but hardly gives enough time to finish them. Wouldnt recommend. I learned a lot but due to his grading process didnt receive a good grade.

Not helpful at all you must learn everything from the book, had to drop early. Barely gave enough time on quizes.

This professor has a good sense of humor and tries to lighten his lecture hour, but does not encourage questions or take time to go over assigned homework problems. His Exams have problems different and more difficult than homework, grading seems biased, and not helpful on an individual basis.

Very tough teacher I do not recommend at all.

does not care if you pass or not. Grades really tough, and his grades are only based on tests and quizzes. Do not take him if you want to pass.

if you get one small thing wrong on the quiz or exam he doesn't give you any credit. does not take any homework in, only thing graded is quiz exams and final. my calc 30 class went from 30 students to 5 by the last few weeks of the semester. I ADVISE DO NOT TAKE HIM. HE WON'T EVEN ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM HOMEWORK.

No exaggeration there were 5 of us that took the final exam. He assigned very heavy homework. Even though he didnt check homework his lectures were all based on it. I logged in so many hours in the math lab. He covered way too much material in a class period. Then quizzed us over material he went over 2 weeks prior. Take another professor.

Don't take him at all costs. The calc class went from 30-8 students by the midterm. No homework is graded only tests and quizzes and it is hard to ask him questions.

He was not positive at all. If you do and get the correct answer he will get mad the formatting of how you got there looks off. Always negative and not uplifting. If you want a positive helpful teacher that gives nice feedback do not take him. He is not too bad on homework though nor testing.

It was a 1hr and 50min class and there were almost no practice problems. The only time there was when he was sick and couldn't talk. No make-ups for missing, I had covid and missed 2 quizzes, had to take a quiz and a test the week I came back, no retakes. He's not very helpful if you don't understand a topic unless you have specific questions.

Professor Brewer's class was really difficult and fast paced. He only grades on tests and quizzes. He's always late on uploading practice tests/quizzes on canvas. (which doesn't gives us enough time to study). He's very particular in his grading. If you miss a class, you might as well drop because you will be so behind.

Warning you now, do not take this Professor. He is test and quiz heavy. He is hard to communicate with outside of class. If you have a question, you would have to wait until next class time to ask because he does not respond to emails or canvas messages.

Terrible professor, Professor brewer is probably one of the worsts math professors. He is lecture heavy and very passive aggressive when you ask for help or need help on a problem.

one of if not the hardest classes ive taken. all he does in class is give lectures while we take notes. all you will do is write. he told me i couldn't take pictures of his notes during class. he is very hard to talk to and understand, and is extremely hard to reach outside of class, even though he pushes you to ask the questions outside of class.

Brewer often jumped from one problem to another without clear explanations then expects you do the homework at home. The homework assignments were not aligned with what was taught in class. If you want to learn, do not take this Professor. He is helpless.

Brewer has poor teaching and communication skills. I would not recommend taking any of his math classes. when questions were asked his responses would be dismissive and unhelpful. I try to go to tutoring but during the test he would only accept the work on how he taught the material. If you want to learn and succeed, take another professor.

took this professor back in Fall 2022, and during lecture, he would start talking about god or football. Most of the assignments are the weekly quizzes he gives out, so you have to make sure you do really good on those quizzes. Also if you missed a quiz, he won't allow retakes; had a friend miss class for a funeral and he didn't excuse them.

Brewer would often go on side tangents. His sick policy is non-existent. If you have the COVID and miss a quiz, there is nothing you can do to make it up. He says homework is optional, but it's the only way to understand the lecture. His class is two hours long with one five-minute break. NO FOOD and NO DRINKS. He will kick you out over it.

The pacing was really fast and one test can determine pass or fail for the whole class. If you don't have a choice for this class would recommend talking to the teacher and getting help ASAP. Falling behind is really bad here. Wish you luck!

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS. IT WILL BE A MISERABLE SEMESTER

Is a nice guy, just is not the best teacher for me. Straight up lectures and tests are my weakness and I fell behind from the first day of stats and never caught up due to his teaching.

Yelled at the class when people wouldn't answer his questions, and even slammed his ruler on desks when people didn't answer him. He barely shows any calculator work, so you are left wondering how he got the answer for something because he doesn't explain. If you miss a class, you can miss whole sections and chapters. Do not take him.

Do not take any of Professor Brewer's math classes, unless it's your last resort. The class was very difficult and basically self-taught. I spent way too many all-nighters studying than I should have. Brewer would continue to the next problem without even explaining the problem before. If you asked a question, he would respond very condescending.

Brewer will only base your grade off of tests and quizzes, which is difficult to pass his class because of his poor teaching skills. He does not know how to communicate properly and will be very passive aggressive when asked a question about a problem. He shouldn't be teaching.

Worst semester of my life. Avoid his class at all costs. He does not know how to teach. Basically self-taught.

Not a good professor/teacher. I should've looked up the reviews before committing to his class. I had to learn everything myself.

Worst class I've ever taken in my life. I failed the first time. Took it again to prove to myself that I could overcome, also needed to for major. He doesn't know how to teach. He makes weird jokes about inappropriate topics and treats students like kindergartners. Getting into a car crash sounded better than making it to his class.

Overall, worst professor I've taken at Solano. Brewer does not know how to teach nor communicate with students. I would recommend avoiding any of his classes. I had to teach myself to pass his class basically

I ended up getting the highest grade on the final with a pretty good score, but the mean score was in the 20's.This class is passable, but be ready to use youtube as your main source, as Brewer is not interested in helping anyone. Needs to grow up a bit and treat his students with a little more respect. Leave the God talk at home.

Self taught class. Can not emphasize that enough.

Brewer is not professional at all and shouldn't be teaching. Nearly every body has dropped the class due to his insufficient teaching skills. basically, self-taught and he was very dismissive when questions were asked. I would not recommend to take this professor.

You'll get by in this class if you pay attention and do the homework The course material isn't that difficult, the teacher just is. He overcomplicates things and he's incredibly unfunny. If you don't follow the exact wording that he wants you to put then you're marked down. It doesn't matter if you did everything right mathematically.
