I have been terrified of math until I took this guys class. He is very polite and very clear. If you have been struggling in math, he will help give you the foundation you need to be successful. He does a great job at not making you feel stupid when you have to ask a question, he actually gets really excited and wants to help you.

I took his online class for Statistics and even though I have a hard time in math, usually, his chapter videos and notes were very easy to comprehend. There is a lot of homework but you can do it as many times as you need to in order to get a good grade. He gives study guides for the exams and as long as you study, it's not hard to pass.

He is extremely nice. I never used the book because the lectures were on point. You can use all notes on every test even the final. I printed the ones he gave us online and used them to follow videos and the tests. Homework is unlimited tries. Extra credit is given. He accidentally put a B on my final grade but fixed it w/in 3 days very apologetic

He was one of my best teachers yet. Math is pretty difficult for me and so is online learning. Professor Brooks made it so there were also video tutorials, access to lectures from class, and if you needed him at any time he was there. He explains everything in depth step by step. This is probably the only class that I actually learned from.

If you tell him you're really stressed and need an accomodation he will likely do it. AMAZING professor.

He explains everything very well in person and basically goes over what exactly is going to be on the test in person! 10/10 recommend taking this class in person!!!

The homework isnt hard as long as you look over the notes and power points.

By far the best teacher for an online class. Has video lectures on all chapters/provides outlines for notes. Does require handwritten note submissions, which can be used for exams. No way to fail if you take good notes. Spent my life in the learning center for STA2023, but I haven't had to get help even once in Mr. Brooks" class. Highly recommend!
