Mr. Brown taught me more about math than any other teacher I have ever had. He made a subject that I was terrified of very easy to understand and I was able to go on to college algebra and pass that with the knowledge I took from Mr. Brown's class.
He was helping my class, because our normal teacher was very difficult to understand. He made it very easy.
Mr. Brown is a very good teacher. I will recommend him to anyone that needs help
I have gone back to college after 20 years of not being in school. Math was the biggest hurdle in my past and I never got it. Mr. Brown has helped me to make some sense of what is foreign to me. He is an awesome teacher!
Very clear and easy to understand.
Wonderful professor that really helps you to learn math and makes it easy! I recommend taking him.
I just finished 0012; Mr. Brown is right on the money. He is clear, helpful and offers extra credit. Just show up for class, do the work.
A very nice guy, and a great teacher. He will help you to better understand the more difficult material. Just make sure you do your homework, and the computer assignments as well. I had to take the class a second time because I blew off all the homework.
Show up for class and do the work. He offers extra credit and a practice test on nearly all tests. Do the practice work. Go to the Math Lab if necessary. Mr. Brown is fair and easy going.
An awesome teacher; he goes the extra mile to help you understand and succeed. He makes a difficult subject seem easy and enjoyable. Show up always, do the work...you will learn and be rewarded. He's the best!
very very good
neat, on time , get work done ,please do your part the hmwk.as a fresman I fail this course becuse of me not the teacher.If you do not do your lab work and HMWK how can you blame the teacher for an unpassing grade .go get a conscious and DO YOUR PART!!!To ALL OF MY FELLOW CLASSMATES AND MORE TO COME
He is realy nice.
took the time to help students and not intimidate the ones that did not understand
He's an Awesome teacher. He takes the time to review everything and makes sure that all the students in his class are on the same page. He has a lot of extra credit. He's also really funny and understanding.
The best math teacher ever! Before him I litterally sucked in math but I got an A in this class and on the exam! I loved math becasue of this teacher and almost thought about buisness (math. He is just the best- If you dont get him as a teacher then get him as a toutor at the math lab!
I have to say he is an excellent teacher. I walked into that class with out being taught math for three years since highschool and I walked out of that class with a B. He is very understanding will go out of his way to make sure you understand everything. MAKE SURE U TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF DURING A TEST OR YOU WILL GET 10PTS TAKEN OFF HEHEHE..
Very good at explaining the math.
Mr. Brown was very helpful, in the beginning, I thought he was picking on me but then I noticed he did what he did to push me to think and see that I can do it for myself. Now I'm helping my nephew with his school math. THANK YOU PROFESSOR!
very good teacher helpful in every way
Mr. Brown is an awsome teacher!! I would never consider taking anyone else for math. He is so helpful. You must do your lab and book hw! It is not just busy work it helps you to prepare for your test. If you want to pass this class he is there to help you. Before him I hated math!! He's awsome!!!
Great teacher, very nice and forgiving. Easy test, easy class.
He is an excellent teacher, patient, and he give sfair tests (so easy). He motivates & encourages everyone. Anyone willing to try can get through this class w/flying colors, but you MUST do your homeowrk &labs.
I took this class with another professor earlier this year and failed, but taking it a second time has made it a lot easier and my mind is focused more because the teacher takes his time and if you don't understand he will help you to understand or refer you to the lab for further assistance. He is great!!!
Mr Borwn is a great teacher that is truly willing to help his students. He will take a whole class period dedicated to one section of a chapter, just to help one student understand. I am taking him again net semester, if you can, take him.
Mr Brown is a wonderfull teacher, i used to have a hard time understanding math. Mr Brown made it easy for me to learn. He is very visual, and explains everything that he does. I highly recomend him. I am going to take him for my next class.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! Is really clear and explains the math until EVERYBODY understands it. Gives a review sheet for tests that are identical to the real tests. You really learn something in his class. Definitely reccommend to people who are bad at math.
He is the best teacher he could teach at Harvard he is very nice and smart You could not dislike him unless something is very wrong with you
I took mr Brown for prep 1 math and got a B I am taking him again this semester for prep 2 I decided that I would not take prep 2 unless he was my teacher. He is so great he makes sure that you understand the lesson before he moves on.
Mr. Brown Is the Best !! I recomend him for anyone who has trubble in math. I got an A in both Prep 1 & 2. He will not move on till the class understands, He offers Lots of Extra Credit. He Also Works the whole problem out, and explains what he is doing. He is great for Visual learners. I wish Mr Brown Would teach College Algerbra :(
Great teacher very patient
Mr. Brown is the best professor i have had at PBCC. He gives a lot of extra credit and is very understanding! i am taking him again for prep 2. I have gotten A's and B's on every one of his tests.
Mr. Brown break things down to your level of understanding. He makes class fun and practical. He shows great interest in each student's performance. HE COMES HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED.
Take Prof. Brown, you won't regret it. I took both prep 1 & 2. Gives a lot of extra credit. However, what you put into this class is what you get back. If you don't show up, or do the work, you won't learn. Great, helpful instructor!!
I took MAT 0012/MAT 0020 by Mr. Brown. In MAT 0012, he was understanding, fun, and patient. I learned everything perfectly. In MAT 0020, he was a less patient and not very clear. I spent a lot of time in the math lab. Got an "A."
Explain math so you can understand it he also takes his time to you get it.
I wish Prof. Brown taught every subject. He takes pride in helping you understand something if you're having trouble. Has a sense of humor, and pretty chill about everything. Homework can be done on computer, which turns out to be less I believe.
Prof. Brown is the best. If it wasn't for him I would not have passed these math classes. I had him for Prep I and II. I wish I could have him for all of my math classes. I do not like math at all but Prof. Brown made it easy to understand. Try the combo class. Your get Prep I & II out of the way in one semester. It is easier becuz they overlap.
Prof. Brown is awsome!! He is patient, calm and does not have a mean bone in his body. Too bad some of the PUNKS in our class could not turn cell phones off and respect his class!! He is very helpful and deserves Sainthood. Take him if you are scared to death of Math, he rocks!!! You will feel so confident after his Prep classes! GO TO THE LAB!!
Really nice and understands you.Helps out to the best of his knowledge.
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME HE IS!!! He's very easy going, understandable, and very very helpful. If you don't take him your missing out. I wish he could teach the other math classes!
The best math teacher ever!!!! he will spell out the test comming up.
FANTASTIC. This professor is the best teacher I have ever seen. He is very patient and understanding. He makes math seem like an every day thing. There is no way anyone should fail. Just pay attention and respond to his teachings. He gives practice tests and goes over homework and so on. He is the best Prep Teacher in the World. Unbelievable
I think professor Brown was an awesome teacher!He was very helpful! If you ever had a question, he was there to help you until you understood it!He is very nice and very funny!I highly recommend him for anyone taking math!!
Mr. Brown is absolutely helpful and extremely understanding! I totally recommend him as a math teacher
I have taken Prof. Brown for both of my math prep classes. He makes learning math very fun, and teaches it so well you will feel like you should have known it already.Great teacher, you can come see him anytime he's in his office.
I just finished both prep classes with him, both A's! He is awesome and I think you would be making a mistake for not taking him. Easy if you learn and he will deffinately prepare you for Intermediate algebra! AWESOME...I wish he teached other math classes!
WE LOVE YOU MR. BROWN!!! EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT OTHER PROFESSORS AND TAKE ONLY MR. BROWN, THEN HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TEACH ALL LEVELS OF MATH!! ***HIGHLY RECOMMEND***
This man made me love math! Before taking this class, I was scared to death. However, I now look forward to the next part of my math sequence. If you have the time, take his Prep 1&2 combo course and get it done in one semester. I will mirror the comments that wish he would teach past prealgebra.
Mr.Brown is a awesome teacher! I was really nervous about taking college math and he's helped me not only to understand Math but to like it! He's a great teacher to take; if you can take his prep combo classes. Highly Reccomended!
Before taking proffessor brown class i hated algebra, i hated any type of math, now i know what i am doing. if you cann't do math please take this class. if you half of a brain you will learn, i did and there are days i don't think i have a brain.
Very easy to understand, makes sure you understand what he's teaching.
mr brown should be voted professor of the year you are a rock star, this man really cares about his students. if you try you will learn in this class.
Mr. Brown Truly rocks, he is a good teacher, if you dont understand he will make sure that you do understand before going on to the next question. I never thought I could be so interested in College Algebra... But he makes it interesting. I am looking foward to taking the 2nd part of his class.
MR BROWN REALLY IS A GREAT TEACHER HE WANTS EVERYONE IN HIS CLASS TO PASS AND HE WILL HELP YOU ON ANYTHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HE IS GREAT!
Hes the best
Ralston Brown is VERY helpful, if you do not understand he will make sure that you go to the lab to know it better so you can pass the class. He gives ALOT of extra credit so that if you do not do good on his tests the extra credit will bring you way up.He is the teacher to get.
Professor Brown is truly an amazing teacher. I was not that great at math in high school. When I got him I learned so much that I never understood before and he makes learning the material easier. He's the type of teacher that will let you meet him if you need help or have missed a day.
He was by far the best math teacher I have ever had! Math is my worst subject, but Mr. Brown has totally given me hope that it isn't too bad. I learned alot and passed. If I can do it, then anyone can pass! Awesome teacher. Very laid back. Explains the steps slowing and understandable.
If the math teachers I had in grade school were as good as Mr Brown I wouldve been ok He simplifies everything down to apples and oranges he is the best math teacher in the school. A word of advice, enroll in your credit maths as soon as youre done with this clas so you wont forget the stuff you just learned. Highly Recommended Attendance mandatory
I took Prof. Brown for both Prep I and Prep II. He is an excellent teacher and a wonderful human being. He does not move forward until everyones questions are answered, and it does not matter what question you need to ask he will take the time to go over the information. I rate Prof. Brown as #1. I only wish he taught the higher levels.
He will teach you math. He is a great teacher,
The BEST Teacher in the WORLD! I always struggled in math, I took Professor Brown for Prep1 and Prep2.. I wrote everything down he said I followed every Rule he taught and I received an A in every class, an A on EVERY TEST... it was all his teaching! He is the BEST of the BEST..Not to mention the SWEETEST man around, so thoughtful n always smiles!!
HE IS A GOOD TEACHER AND HUMAN BEIN, I LOVE HIM
HE IS ONE OF THE BEST, I ENJOYED HIS CLASS VERY MUCH. IT'S AN EASY CLASS SPECIALLY IF YOU PAY ATTENTION. HIS TEACHING STYLE IS VERY CLEAR AND IF YOU STILL DONT GET IT, HE WOULD GIVE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM AND GO OVER IT WITH YOU. STEP BY STEP. OVERALL PROF. BROWN IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFFESOR I HAVE EVER HAD.I WISH HE WOULD TEACH A HIGHER LEVEL MATH.
Prof. Brown makes Prep 1 a breeze! BUT you have to do the work and learn your RULES! I was HORRIBLE in high school with math and now after taking his class and learning the essentials I understand it now. THANK YOU PROF BROWN for caring and being such a wonderful teacher!
I love Mr. Brown. He is the best. I took him for Prep 1 and then I took someone else for Prep 2 and I was so mad. Missing Mr. Brown everyday. He si so funny. He is the best teacher. I wish i never took him because now I compare evryone to him. One of kind. JUST LEARN DA RULES GUYS. I hear him all the time in my head.he will make u laugh 2
HE WAS THE BEST EVER!!! HE'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I DIDNT GIVE UP ON MATH AND SCHOOL!
I took Prof. Brown for PREP 1 and he was awesome! DO YOUR HOMEWORK and LISTEN in class!! and LEARN THE RULES!!!!!! He should really be teaching more than just the PREP classes! ALL teachers should learn from this man on how to communicate to their students and make it much more simple than some do. He should get a teaching award!
Currently enrolled in his class. Best math teacher I've ever had. Fun and easy to understand, and he clarifies on all the rules needed to move forward, and very helpful if you don't understand the subject matter. I plan to take him for prep 2.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! HE HELPS SO MUCH WITH UNDERSTANDING THE MATERIAL. HE TRULY IS THE BEST ALGEBRA TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. I AM TAKING HIM FOR PREP 2!I LOVE YOU PROFESSOR BROWN!!! THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT TEACHER!!!!!!!
Prof. Brown is a good teacher but he gives way too much homework. Aprox. 400 problems a week. MAT0012 was east but MAT0020 is rough, he rushes through the material.
He is a wonderful teacher. Sweet, compassionate, caring and very understanding. I had him for 0012 and it was challenging for me returning as an older student. There is tons of homework, extra credit opportunities and practice tests but I found these only helped me to "get it". He's easygoing but is very aware of what is going on. He is THE BEST!
This is the best Math teacher I've EVER had in life! Take this teacher if you struggle with Math, if he could teach me what I couldn't learn after years of private tutoring and many great teachers he can truly teach anyone!! That's why both here and on campus he is sooo highly rated and recommended!
Amazing math teacher. Makes math simple and easy. If i had Prof. Brown in High School i would be taking prep courses now.
He's an awesome teacher, take him if you want to excel in math!!!
I absolutely love him. Best teacher ever. Everytime I left the class, I always felt like I knew everything that was taught. I think everyone should take him for prep 1 and prep 2.
I took Professor Brown for both prep 1 and 2 and he is the best teacher ever!!! He is so helpful and will help you on your test so you pass! I got all A's on my test only got 2 B's on the test in both his classes. His class is never boring he is hilarious and cracks jokes while he teaches! Take him he makes learning fun and easy!
professor Brown is by far the best math teacher I have ever had in my entire life that I have been in school. He made the class enjoyable the class was never boring his tests are almost exactly like the practice test which he goes over with you before the test. i dont know how anyone can fail his class. he explains everything.
Good teacher teacher's prep 1-2 has alot of short cut steps for algebra makes math easier!
Great teacher! I'm taking him right now and he's awesome! He's always in a good mood, has a good attitude and is very helpful in math! Very encouraging teacher! Recommend him to everyone & anyone. Please take him. He's awesome. :)
great professor as others have said always in a great mood and extremely helpful he spends the first 10 minutes or so of class going over the home work and taking questions if you have to take math prep this is the professor you want
He is the best math teacher hands down. He will always have you laughing in his class, and works problems out till where you really understand.GREAT TEACHER TAKE HIM!
Best Math Teacher ever! He makes sense of math. He is extremely helpful and willing to go over different learning styles. His goal is to prepare you for higher lever math and if you pay attention and the take incentive you will do well. I got an A!
Professor Brown is the best math teacher I have ever had.He always answers your questions and is always there if you need help. If youre taking prep take professor brown!
Mr.Brown is very helpful! If you are struggling on your test you could go to him and he will "direct" you to solving the problem. If you need more time to take the test after class he gives you more time in his office. Also lets you make up a test if you missed class just set up a date with him and take the test in his office! Take him!
Awesome teacher, loved how easy he breaks things down and so helpful!
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER VERY UNDERSTANDING :)
Mr.Brown does an amazing job helping you understand math.He sticks to low numbers in his problems because he says the most important thing in math is knowing the rules not if you can work with big numbers.Math is precise if you follow Mr.Brown step by step you CAN'T fail.He also keeps you laughing and smiling.
Really understands students and makes math interesting and does a great job of explaining problems!Highly recommend
The bet teacher ever. He really breaks it down and makes math simple. my interest level was going into this class because he gave me a passion for math in prep 1 so it carried over to prep 2. This class is easy but it all depends on you. He gives you great tips to help you be successful, just write down everything he says.
I LOVE MR. BORWN HE IS A GREAT TECHER HE IS FUNNY BUT HE MAKES U UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS DOING.
He is awesome and funny professor. If you take his class you should pass. If you don't take textbook his class he don't care. When you don't understand ask him again he explain you again then you must understand what he said. If you get N midterm great ask him how you pass he tolled you, then if you flow what he said then you pass.
Professor Brown is the nicest and most caring teacher I have come across in my college and high school career. He genuinely cares for his students like they were his own children and make sure that everyone in the class knows the material. He is very fair, but has a great teaching style. Love him!
The best teacher to take for prep 1 and 2. You have a joice of doing h.w online or in class. you get extra credit and he really helps you. He is understanding and nice he will make math seem easier just study
Great Prof. Love his clas got a A+. Take hime if you need prep math.
He's the most amazing math teacher ever. Iv'e never been good at math but he actually made me like it. Too bad he's only teaching prep classes. I really recommend him. He's the best!
Definitely the best teacher I ever had. Took him for MAT0028 and wish I could have him as my Intermediate Algebra professor. He makes it really easy to understand. If you show up to class and actually pay attention it's insanely easy. I highly recommend this class to anybody who has to take a prep class.
This class was easy, because Mr. Brown is really nice, but i don't think he's the best teacher. He calls on people randomly and if you say the wrong answer he laughs at you. Nice guy I guess, but he should be more supportive. I wouldn't recommend him.
Professor Brown is an awesome teacher, he taught me so much that I unfortunately wasn't taught in high school. I loved the way he taught, it was slow and he made sure everyone understood each topic before moving on to something new.
I absolutely love professor brown. He is hands down the best math teacher i have ever had. I've never been good at math but now after taking his class math seems a lot easier. He explains things clearly and answers all questions. Doesn't move on until everyone is on the same page. Really nice guy. Also has a sense of humor (sarcasm) TAKE HIM!!

By far the BEST math teacher I've ever taken and would recommend him to anyone that is slow in math like i am. for 3 years i could pass my math class till i met Mr. Brown and finally past that class. very helpful and an amazing teacher. take him if you want to pass.
best teacher. so helpful. he is always there to help you understand. such an easy class . he really helps out alot. TAKE HIM
Such a great guy. Truly the best professor at PBSC, period.
He is the best MAth teacher ever, I use to hate math, since I was in middle school and right through High school, noone could ever teach me math I would put my head down in class, and constantly recieved F's. I can proudly say I have A's in Math and I actually understand Math, and Now I LOVE IT!
Great teacher! He is a super nice guy and he teaches very well! He helps out a lot with work and goes at a reasonable pace. You can tell he is passionate about his job and wants all his students to pass! If you're looking to start out w an easy level math class I deffinitely reccomend taking him.
He was one of the best math professors I've had in awhile, so helpful and so clear. I passed itdid well because of him! He wanted to make sure he was there to do whatever he can to make sure you pass his class. Offered so much extra credit, gave good notes. tests were fairly easy. If I could have taken him for other math classes, I wouldve.
Professor Brown is my favorite proffessor thus far. He makes math extremely easy to understand, and helps you when you're not understanding. He also gives A LOT of extra credit opportunites. More than any of my other classes. He is also very funny and makes it a fun class. I wish he taught intermediate algebra. MUST TAKE PROF BROWN!
This professor was hilrous even on a bad day he would make the class crack up. I've been terrible in math since I was a child he helped so much and I understand the subject so well now. He went over every section and I passed every test. TAKE HIM! I wish he taught other classes I would take him again deffintly.
SERIOUSLY THE BEST DEVELOPMENTAL MATH PROFESSOR EVER! Prof. Brown is truly a great guy. Very clear; explains math in a way that you honestly can understand; if not, will take the time to make sure you DO get it! He is quite a character too. Class comes w HW, but it has to be since it is a developmental class. He really cares about his students!!
Definitely by far the nicest professor at PBSC! He made me understand math a lot better and he explains things very clearly. If you have a question he will help you until you get it and he is very caring for his students. He is definitely worth taking as a professor
If you have been out of school for a while like myself than I would recommend taking this professor. He explains problems very clearly.
Professor Brown is the best math teacher I have ever had. I'm terrible at math but he saved my semester. I was passing the class, getting good grades on the tests but for prep, the final exam determines your grade and I didn't pass that. However, he is a great teacher! Highly recommended.
Best professor EVER!!!!
Mr. Brown is an amazing person and teacher, he is very supportive, funny, and always willing to help all of his students. I am average in math and decided to take his class before I go into intermediate. He has helped me a lot as well as anyone else who is struggling. Definitely recommend him for anyone struggling in math.10/10
Best Math professor ever!!! There's no way you will be drowning in this class
Professor Brown was a life saver! I hate math more than anything and dreading going back to school because of it but he makes it easy to learn and remember. As long as you take notes and complete the homework it is a fairly easy class. I used the online access more than the textbook. If math is not your strong spot take Professor Brown!!
Professor Brown is a great teacher. There are 9 tests throughout the the semester and I scored above 100 on every test (before I took his course I had no comprehension of algebra at all). If you struggle with math or if you just want a professor who truly cares about your grade... take Professor Brown! I would take him again in a heart beat.
Professor Brown was the best teacher I've had in college. Clear with expectations but really wants to see you succeed. If you need help, just ask. He really cares for his students and will help in any way possible. TAKE HIM
Professor Brown is the best! I did horrible on my perts (forgot how to do algebra) so I placed into developmental.. He teaches so well that I retook my perts, scored well & didn't have to do intermediate! He has lots of patiences and will make sure you understand completely
Very eager to help !!! Love what he does and make math seems so simple. Best math teacher for mat0022. Only bad thing is you have to get a 75 or higher in the class to pass.
He is good at lecturing, only problem with this class is that if you don't pass the state exam at the end, you don't pass the class. So even though I did okay on his tests, I did not pass the state exam.
He a great for professor I took him a while back for math hes funny, and very helpful person. He works with you
He is a great Professor!! He is very helpful, will help even during test. Yes you have to pass a test (the final) because of Gov. Rick Scott. it is only 25 questions but he is their every step of the way.
Mr. Brown is a very unique individual. He will make you laugh, keeps your attention, and makes sure that everyone understands the material. He likes to tease everyone and can be very sarcastic but never in a mean way. He is very encouraging!! He actually makes math seem easy.
The professor was very well understood. He didn't make us feel stupid at all. We all participated in class equations which he made very fun. Funny guy and much respected. I just wished he taught other math courses.
Mr. Brown is a wonderful teacher! If you don't pay attention you wont get a very good grade. He uses My Math Lab. Does not use Blackboard though. You will have 6 tests and one comprehensive final. Beware of lots of homework and he moves on quickly so if you don't show up for class you will have a hard time understanding. I would take him again! :)
Mr brown is a really good teacher! if you suck at math his the one for you he gives you practice tests which is similar to the test. You need to PAY attention or you wont understand. he also gives extra credits so make sure you do them! overall you wont regret it... so take him now
By far the best math teacher I have ever had!!! He is so nice and always happy, funny, and makes everyone feel smart. He explains everything unto it is understood and remembered. He is extremely patient.
Great teacher of all time!
very helpful. clear explanation, wants you to succeed. from Jamaica, even helps you on tests.
hate MATH but professor brown did everything possible to make me understand the material. he gives TONS of extra credit and wants all his students to pass. BOMB a test, dont worry just go the math lab and work on the problems that were wrong and he'll give you extra credit for that too. extra credit goes a long way and points add up. love u brown
Best math teacher I have ever had! Very understanding and willing to repeat examples if you don't understand a section.
Professor brown is a phenomenal teacher!!! I cannot stress that enough. Unlike most professors, he does not just go through the book like a robot. He actually works out the math problems as a class and has students interact while doing so. Extra credit is available BUT dont take advantage of this good deed. I recommend him to everyone especially
Best math teacher i ever had
Professor Brown teaches math from a scientific point of view, making it easy to understand and apply in real life. If you absolutely hate math, take Professor Brown. He is very patient and helps build your confidence during class. Even if one person does not understand a problem, he will take the time to ensure everyone understands it. He's great!
AND THE MOST DESERVING TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TOOOOO... RALSTON BROWN!!!!!! (& all the students scream, and give him a standing ovation) Yeah need I say more?? The man deserves a raise, an award, and a freaking building named after him. Lol seriously!! I HATED math I dropped this class w/another prof. 4 months with RB Im tutoring people!
Mr. Brown is a great teacher that doesnt mind making sure you understand.
Professor Brown taught me that math was possible! I never thought I would understand math the way that I do now. Hes an amazing teacher and takes his time to make sure the class understands the material. You will leave MAT0022 ready for intermediate! Take this class!!
The best math teacher I've ever had, he's so nice and did his to keep the class laughing . He calls on students to make sure you understand the material. The test are exactly like the study guide all you have to do is study. Easy A as long as you put in the work.
I've never met anyone who wanted me to succeed more than Professor Brown. He won't let you fail.
Professor Brown is wonderful. He cares and he is definitely there for his students. We had a fun class and we wished he would have taught other math classes that we needed. Show up and do the work with passing grades and it can be an easy "A". Love this man and his personality.
He makes sure everything he is teaching everyone in the whole class understands
He makes you very comfortable, especially if you arent comfortable with asking questions out loud hell work with you one on one
Professor Brown is amazing! I never had a good foundation for algebra so taking his class has helped tremendously. If youre not ready for college algebra, definitely take this! Homework is online which is great because you can do it until you get the questions right. Easy A if you do the homework and get your practice in. Hes awesome, take him!
Love this man. He is wonderful and we had a fun class. Everyone participated and he made the class fun. He has a great sense of humor along with great information to explain what you need to know. He is available anytime. He cares and expects you to be apart of the class. I wish he taught more classes that I need. Loved this class.
Professor Brown made my first semester a breeze. He is AMAZING!! He is funny and really cares about his students. He wants everyone to pass. You can tell he genuinely enjoys his job. He provides extra credit on everything. He deserves a raise! Put in the effort and you will get an easy A in the class.
honestly the only ineffective aspect about Professor Brown's lessons was the inevitability of the end of the period, which I have NEVER been able to say about a math class before. it was as if the class just flew by, and I found myself wishing I could stay longer! Professor Brown made sure to address all assignments and exams long before due date
Mr. Brown is the best! He really takes the time to explain things and make sure you understand. He really cares about your grade, offers a bunch of extra credit, always takes a pre test and has a whole class day before the actual test to go over everything and answer any questions. If your average is 85 or higher you are not required to take final!
If I have to choose anyone he would be "The First" on my list. But, unfortunately he only does Mat002. He was born to be a teacher. His patience, kindness are the best quality that characterize him. This can be a hard class if you don't have the right professor, he helps a lot. I truly recommend him 100%. THANK YOU PROFESSOR! / All the best/ Ms.D
Professor Brown is a wonderful teacher. He is respectful, funny, caring and patient. There is homework everyday. He gives real world examples and makes learning math tolerable for those that have always struggled in math. He is the best math teacher I have ever had. I was afraid to go back to school for years over math and Professor Brown helped me
Professor Brown was AMAZING!! Really an amazing teacher will help you and push you to do better. If you need help you can reach him outside of class. Overall great first online class.
Amazing, best professor Ive ever had. Super caring and kind. He stays with you until you learn
Does not listen to students, nor does he respond to outreach. Flies through material without acknowledging students asking for more help. Puts blame on students for not understanding material after multiple attempts of asking for help. Class work seems easy then homework and tests are way more difficult. You will be teaching yourself.
Mr brown really exceeded any expectation I had, he really cares about his students and their grades; he will go the extra mile and stay late teaching you something if you didn't understand it completely. He teaches the class so well and on the plus side, I was able to watch the class recordings any time I wanted.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! I cannot stress this enough. He is by far the most amazing, caring professor I have ever had. He will do everything he can to make you pass. If you have difficulty with math, don't hesitate and take him! He is very pleasant, chill funny, and easygoing. I promise you will not regret it.
As a person who hates maths, I would def recommend professor brown he knows what he is talking about and he doesn't get annoyed or mad if u ask questions. He makes sure every class u learn something new and class is never boring. The lowest you can get in this class is A-. If you do the work and is not afraid to ask questions you will pass. TRUST.
best professor ever. if you follow along you will understand. he teaches very different but you will get it down quick. just turn everything on time and you will pass the class. participation is very big.
This professor is awesome! He truly cares about you and wants you to succeed in his class. He provides extra credit and participation is a key. Mr. Brown teaches you on a middle school to make sure you understand the math that is being presented. He doesnt mind going over the material again. He is truly a one of a kind professor.
He gives a test once every 3 weeks and there really is no penalty for late homework. The text book is only mandatory because we needed it for the code to get into the class. He makes things clear and precise. He also lets students dictate if they're ready for the test or not. TAKE THIS PROF, he's better than a textbook.
literally the best professor ever, so kind, so empathetic. smart and always makes sure everyone understands. great teacher.
Mr. Brown is really nice and gives good feedback, if you don't understand let him know he will go over it with you.
Excellent Professor! So caring, empathetic and always made sure everyone understood the content. His way of organizing and grading things is also great, I recommend him.
Professor Brown is hands down one of the best math professors I've ever had. Homework and tests are on mymathlab and he uses separate PowerPoints during lectures. Don't be afraid to ask questions because he's very understanding and doesn't mind explaining things more than once. Hard to reach outside of class, so attendance is necessary.
Professor Brown was by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. He's understanding, thoughtful, and listens to any concerns that you may have even if not related to the course he will do his best to point you in the right direction. We will miss him dearly, but we were only here for a season. Just take his class I promise you won't regret it.
Mr. Brown has been one of my best professors for my entire life. He is very caring about his actions; you can ask him any math question he never says no. Please, if you are looking for a caring, respectful, and understanding professor, or you are struggling with math, Mr. Brown is the best to help you out, and you will not regret your choice.
Hes a good and caring teacher
Professor Brown was a great teacher. Always encourages everyone to ask questions and participate. He gave lots of extra credit opportunities and seems to care about his students understanding each lesson. He was also hilarious and made it fun to go to his class.
I loved this class with Professor Brown. He was always very upbeat and positive. He would give partial credit for work shown on tests. Super flexible if you're not able to take the tests at the time given, as long as you talk to him. He really wants people to do well/
Professor B greatest strengths lies in his ability to break down complex mathematical concepts into easily digestible pieces. He creates an immersive learning experience that helps you understand clearly also encourages students to think critically and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. I would highly recommend his class
One of the nicest teachers i have ever had in my life. He is caring, and genuinely cares about you. He is the most sweetest person, i have never seen the man mad or upset. Class is super easy, and if you can't finish one of the tests by the due date, he'll understand and extend it. I wish every teacher was like him.
Professor Brown was a great professor! Math was a huge struggle for me in high school, returning to school after 11 years, he was patient, made sure the entire class was on the same page before moving on. I wish he taught Intermediate Algebra!!! But will take the skills he taught me to the next class! BEST ALGEBRA PROFESSOR!!! 1000% RECOMMENDED!!!
prof. Brown is the best and nicest math teacher at pbsc!!
Mr. Brown is the best math teacher I've ever had in my life!! Math has always been my worst subject and I have never liked a math class until this one! Bc of his teaching style I was able to enjoy math for the first time in my life! He is super understanding, if you communicate with him, he will work with you. Take the class you won't regret it!
If I could give him more then 5 stars I would!He is the best professor I have ever had!He makes sure everybody understands each concept, his teaching style is very organized and simplified.He cares for you!He is also very funny. Most of the class we have a smile on our face!If you don't like math and struggle do not worry, he is a game changer!
Class was live online, so you must attend zoom, but he allowed us to have our camera & mic off. He records the class so you can see later. There's hw on Mypearson, but leaves them open until the end of the semester. Other than that, he's really funny & interactive during the zoom. He doesnt reply if you send an email, so its better to ask in class.
Professor Brown is an excellent math teacher who makes complex topics easy to understand. His classes are engaging, and he's always willing to provide extra help. Attending lectures is a must, but the concepts really click with the support of unstuck AI. Highly recommended!
He is by far the best professor I have ever had for Math. He taught more in this one course than all of my high school teachers combined, he is engaged and helpful, never demeaning or condescending.
I would recommend this class for people who know the material already & need to finish this course to satisfy a degree requirement. I would not recommend this class for people who do not know the material and actually need to be taught. His classroom style is to take questions from the high achievers in class and ignore those that are struggling.
Professor brown is great. Gives so much opportunity for extra credit no reason you shouldn't pass.
He is honestly someone you'll miss as a teacher due to how good he is i still remember him through out my course sadly he does not do higher math but if he did i would be the first to apply. SHOUT TO MR.BROWN just study and make sure you do the homework youll be fine and go to tutoring he gives credit if you do so
Professor Brown is such a fantastic professional, so far his class has been my favorite, he will take the time needed and with patience he will make sure you KNOW the subject, he is inspirational, if you are going through a rough path and if you ask kindly he will extend the deadlines with no problem, he is communicative, attentive, and funny
Overall, great learning experiences. The class was interactive, his style of teaching was very informative. I truly enjoyed the class and feel more confident in my understanding with Algebra! Great Professor.
