9920013Great guy. Explains, shows, and makes u understand.
9920012Best guy ever!
9520012
9920012Brooks cares about the subject he teaches, and also about the math. Discrete Math 2 does get harder, but he's right there the whole time ready to explain anything that doesn't "sit well" with the class. Quizzes and Tests are short and fair, and his side comments are hilarious. Take him, even if it's at 8AM, it's worth it.
9520012great teacher... discrete math i had him, he knows what he is doing, shows proofs, explains things in each different ways, tests arent bad... only problem was 8am!
9920012EXCELLENT! He's a great teacher. He knows his stuff, and teaches it well. I've learned a lot from him. Truly learned, not just memorized for a test. He's a great guy too, eh. He gives Homework regularly, but you only have to turn in a few selected problems. The test and quizzes don't have any suprises on them. There just what he says they will be. I've had him for the 240 series math for two quarterd now, and he is b far the best math teacher I ever had.
9920012great professor.
always available for help, tests don't have any surprises. if you can, get him. also he tells you which problems on the homework will be graded. Also hes funny and lets you ask questions.
9920011Brook's rocks, makes calss fun, tries to have a good time and succeeds. Very helpful with questions, and HE'S FROM CANADIA!!!!! The eh?
slips out from time to time, and it will crack ya up every time...

further-more The tests correspond to what we learn and to the homework as well.

take Brooks and you will not only learn calc you will have a fun time doing it... just ask lazy Tom :รพ
9920011Amazing. Really fun guy and a great instructor.
9920011Great professor, sometimes moves a little too fast in class but I think that just may be me...but regardless you can come into his office afterwards and he always explains how to work out the problems. Homework assignments are great and he's lenient if you need some extra time to complete it. Overall great professor, I wish I could have him next quarter too.
9920011He is a great professor. He has helped me grasp many concepts that have eluded me in the past and has taught me many new concepts in an easy to understand way. I would defiantly recommend that you take his class if you have the chance. I know I am next quarter.
9920011Phenominal professors, you will learn in his class and have fun.
9520011Good professor who wants to help his students understand, and he doesn't just teach. Also a fair grader. Sometimes the class pace moves more slowly than some students would want, but, overall, he is a very good professor.
9920011Brooks is absolutely the best math teacher I've ever had. I hate math, but he makes it interesting. A great sense of humor and a Canadian accent can do a lot for the subject. You have to hand in homework for a grade, but its a reasonable amount. The tests and quizzes are usually easier than the homework was! He's very understanding if you forget your homework, just tell him and hand it in later. Always willing to answer your questions, and very available for extra help during office hours. And best of all he doesn't get mad when you're late to class!
9920011He is an excellent professor that really is qualified for the job. He excels on all fronts:educationally, socially, and as a person. I registered for his 8 am class 2ed quarter (he was the motivation; I am a night person), but it was DROPPED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ENROLLMENT! I am crushed. Why God, why? I hope Tascione will be good, but Dr. Brooks is a tough act to follow. I sincerely hope to have him again. If I don't, I'll miss him
9920011Although I ended up withdrawing from his class due to a failing grade, I really wish I could have stayed in his class. I thought his teaching style was admirable, and while he gave you enough homework to keep you on track, it wasn't so much that you were completely swamped with claculus work. He is very helpful in and after class as well. His office is open to anyone that needs help when he is there, and he always has a solution for your problem. I had never taken a calc course before, but he helped me to understand something that was way out of my league, and I think it wil help when I retake the course next quarter.
