GREAT TEACHER!!! He really takes time out to help you out with anything that you need. Highly recommend this teacher...plus- class usually doesn't even take up the whole 50 minutes. we leave in about 15-20 minutes. Totally Awesome!

He was great!!! Explain the same subject for a couple of days if you do not understand. Take him for any class.

Great Teacher I'm horriable at math and he has been great. He lets you make up tests if you scored below a 70%. Very nice guy and wants you to pass!

he was very willing to help when ever i needed it. and was willing to review things i was suppose to learn in highschool but didn't. i would take his class again. i bot a B+ and i really stink at math

This guys is great. i absolutely love math...ive always made all a's in it....so it was an easy course for me....easy A....dont be scared to ask questions if you dont understand....he is very willing to answer anything you might want to ask. i would recommend him to anybody.

I thought he was a great teacher. He doesn't always do every step of every problem. He expects that at this point people should know the basics. He is very helpful and will not move on until he knows everyone understands. He has little patience for people who don't interact w/ him or who don't seem to be paying attention. Drops lowest test grade.

he is a good teacher. the class grade is based totally on tests, but he is helpful- during class, while he is exlpaining problems, he will stop and ask if we are getting it or understanding. the people who complain about him are the ones who don't undestand, yet don't speak up. it's their faults for not asking questions. :)

Attend class. Ask questions. Seek him out. He is very helpful, but assumes a bit of desire on the part of the student. Namely, that you comprehend the material and are actively pursuing an understanding of the material. Very fair in grading!

Exelent teacher, if you want an A, just gotta ask questions and seek for help on the office hours!

Professor Brennan is great. He's helpful and willing to go above and beyond to help you. People get upset b/c they think he's yelling at them when they ask a question. He's only trying to get people to think critically about their q's so when they're doing it on their own on a test, they can remember. I took him twice. Recieved an A & B+.

Mr. Brennan is a really nice guy! If you show him your working hard he will help you get a good grade. He has been the only math teacher that has clearly gone out of his way to help me. Homework isnt graded or manditory and all of his test are cumulative. Come to class with homework questions and you'll do fine. Take him!

Mr. Brennan is an ok teacher. He will help if you ask and attendence and homework aren't mandatory. Some people complain about him not explaining more, which is true, but he also expects students to do their homework in order to understand what he's attempting to explain. Overall he's an easy A if you do homework and don't be lazy.

He's not a bad teacher, he just expects you to do your homework, and THINK. If you're having trouble with the material don't hesitate to ask for help. I literally spent 2 hours plus some days after class making sure I got the material. If you take his class, don't hesitate to ask questions, or for help. He will do what he can to help you.

he can teach but it can get boring

He's a good math teacher. Just make sure you follow notes in class and keep up with MyMathLab. He's very clear and will draw everything out for you. Hedoesn't teach everything that's in the homework, however, which can be frustrating. He likes it when you ask questions so don't be afraid to if you're confused.

Brennan was the nicest most helpful teacher everrr! He teaches the material and if you dont go to class or make sure u understand the material thats a personal problem because he is more than willing to help after class and always helped me succeed. If he sees your putting in effort he helps you out on the tests. He has practice tests u can do too.

Average teacher. Many ppl complait about him. The truth is college math courses require WORK. Not a hard class, similar to intermediate algebra. The big difference is that you definitely will use your TI-83. He doesn't like questions, but u can ask him to solve some HW exercises at the beginning of the class. 4 multiple choice tests, LONG FINAL.

Good teacher very helpful, understood more in this class then in my previous class definitely recommended.

All those comments under me are a lie he is a good professor, the reason why everyone fails is because they don't ask questions and ask for help, he's willing to help you at any time just ask he is very clear and breaks everything down to the simplest forms very recommended his test are worth a lot so make sure you stay on your studies

I tell you what- if it weren't for Mr. B I would never have gotten it! He really is very helpful and takes the time to help. He really cares about his students and he is the bomb when it comes to any Math. Study!!!! Half the people don't show up for class. Math lab awesome. Really helpful. Great guy. Great class. Would recommend. Study!!!

Professor Brennan is not going to baby you. Wants you to learn to set you up for success in MAT1105. Will work with you one on one! Have questions you want to go over ready and know that he is not going to hold your hand. He is very very good at Math. Knows it inside and out. Really great teacher. Would recommend.

He taught Calc 1 for the first time this summer. Rather than asking students to regurgitate material, he asked us understand it and be able to apply it when necessary. His exams came straight from the HW, which wasnt mandatory. Super helpful in office hours, good in class, too.Youll be a little independent, but it helps for calc2. A is def possible

in his defense I have to say, I was use to always having a teacher show me everything needed to understand math. He has a very different approach,and yes I HATED it at first, after a while it proved to help make me a stronger math student. I would take him again knowing his style, you just have to be self motivated to really do well in his class.

Mr. Brenan is a nice guy; however, his teaching style isn't for everyone! If you want the grade without the work, wrong teacher! Be sure to have your questions and anything you need help with before class because he "can't help you if you don't what you need help with." Overall, I learned and PASSED B+

MR.Brennan is really helpful, if you really need the help. He is not going to babysit you although he says to come to him if you need the extra help. He is chill and laid back and determined for you to understand and pass the class.

Mr. Brennan is very smart and helps you when you need it. I will give him that. However, he does get upset when you ask him questions. If you study and do the homework assignments, just like any class, you will pass.

Professor Brennan is a very nice and helpful professor. For the MAT1033 at Santa Fe, you have to do a Studio which I HATED and still do. However, when I needed help, Professor Brennan helped a lot, you just have to ask him. Math when thought this way is difficult but, after I went to his office hours, it became clearer to me. I'd recommend him

He tells you almost every day if you're having trouble in class to go see him and ask for help. He's a great professor and tries harder than any professor i've seen so far. Great teacher if you have to take this class.

He is a very nice and helpful professor. If you are struggling with math you can go up to him after class or during his office hours and he will walk you through the steps of the problem easily.

I really liked professor Brennan. Every time I came in with a question, it was explained thoroughly. I will say that if you are a slacker or procrastinator, you won't like this teacher.

Mr. Brennan is one that definitely cares about your learning. However, it is a little hard to keep up with the class.If I studied more I would've definitely gotten a good grade. He is always at his office hours and is very willing to help.

I think he's a great teacher. If you actually take the time to talk to him about your grade he will definitely work with you. He'll give you second chances with tests and everything. People have no excuse to not pass this class. Most things are online. If you fail you're just lazy.

Mr. Brennan is a very smart man. He is a little soft spoken so if you can't hear very well, I would suggest sitting upfront. If you show up, pay attention, ask questions when you have them, and do your homework, you should have no trouble in this class.

He was a great math teacher. Made jokes and kept the class interesting. Very nice and helpful. He taught the lessons with good explanations and did examples until you understood it. Anything you need he will help you with it. I recommend taking him!

I tried to test out of intermediate algebra to go into college algebra. I didn't pass so I had to take intermediate. It was a very pleasant experience for me! Mr. Brennan's very nice, very easy going, enjoys helping students succeed in life, and overall the course was very easy. Keep up with the MyMathLab stuff and the material and you will pass!

This class was an extremely pleasant experience to me! Mr. Brennan's very nice, pretty easy going, enjoys helping his students succeed, and he's done a great job on structuring the class. Attendance is not mandatory for passfail, but it does count as a part of your grade. Keep up with the MyMathLab stuff and the material and you will pass!

This class is so easy. ask for help and he'll help you. He's pretty straight forward, if you're not doing what you're supposed to do then don't expect to pass. 2 lab hours/ week. pay attention in class, if you don't then you're pretty much screwed.

After class if you talk to him with a question already written down, he will clarify it for you. Don't ask him any other questions and you will be fine.

He was very nice and helpful but you must approach him. If you ask him for help he will. Class itself was a joke if you expect to be taught everything you have another thing coming. You are your own teacher because of the online MyMathLab program. Teachers walk around helping but the ratio is 1 -40 and everyone needs help.

Good teacher. Tests are impossible though.

Taking my first college math course, I found Professor Brennan to be very helpful and respectful. Because he did his lectures through the sequence of the textbook, Professor Brennan prepared the class for the upcoming tests. He allowed questions to be asked and kindly explained himself while respecting you. I request this guy.

Professor Brennan is excellent. He isn't going to bore you during class with nonsense lectures. Instead, he's there to help you. He does a great job getting his students to understanding the material and he is going to make sure all of his students do fine. He's done so in the past and he'll do it again in the future.

Great Professor! I would absolutely take him again. A lot of students misunderstand him and unfortunately, students give up and then blame him for their carelessness. he really cares about his students, he is truly awesome and if you are willing to do homework and ask questions in class you will have an easy A.

I don't know why people say that he is horrible. He is a really good teacher. If you go to class and put some effort into the class you will have an A.

He's just an excellent human being.

Best math professor, he handled to COVID-19 pandemic very well, you will have a bunch of assignments on WebAssign but everything is clear and easy. He always responds to questions and emails really fast! I truly enjoyed taking this class even though I am not a math person

Doesn't deserve the bad ratings he has. He wants you to ask questions, is super understanding and is helpful after class. Tests are easy, he wants you to succeed, answers homework questions. He does move fast but that being said staying after class for 10 minutes you get his full undivided attention. Easy A

He is a suuuper nice person. Very understanding. He does give a lot of homework, but overall the homework is only worth 10 % of the grade after all, so it doesnt matter if you miss some. The quizzes are litterally the SAME THING as the study quizes he gives (but with different numbers). 1/2

Therefore if you do good on the study quiz you will do the same on the test. He is not a tough grader, and always gives extra points on tests for the work done. I didnt do soo good on my grade but i am honestly very lazy and could have studied more jajajajaja. But he is a great teacher. 2/2

Definitely recommend..easiest math course I've taken. Clear hw/quiz schedule (all hw/quiz/test on canvas), scheduled time to work on hw in class so he can help. Great lectures/notes. Accommodating, eager to help, and sweet guy.

The structure of this class is that the prof will briefly cover the topics of the unit in class then the class moves to the math lab to do their homework/quizzes. You MUST take the initiative and ask questions or it will be assumed the prof can move on. This is true of any 1033 class. Prof. Brennen is super sweet and helpful if you ask for help!

Professor Brennan is a very kind and caring teacher. He wants to help you and see you succeed so ask questions and utilize your time in the studio well!

Professor Brennan has a specific teaching style, but if you engage with it, the class can be manageable. The lectures and in-class work sessions are helpful, and Unstuck ai can be a great study tool alongside the textbook. Overall, a decent math course.

Good professor. Just make sure to sit at the front since he is a quiet speaker. For Survey Calc 1, Homework is worth 15%, and is very easy. You have 3 tests (with an optional 4th) and they are worth 45% total. Extra credit is very generous, and lowest test grade gets dropped. The final exam is worth 25%. If you study well, this should be an easy A.

You will get a good grade if you pay attention, come to class and read the book online before class. He is nice, funny and responsive. Pros: plenty extra credit opportunities if you go to class, easy assignments, and available outside of class. Cons: clearer grading criteria for short-response questions. I would definitely take his class again.
