Brian Clarence

He is very knowledgeable in the subject matter. The course material was very dry to most but I thought it was interesting learning so much about housing structures/issues. Offers NO notes, so you must attend class to write notes and his handouts. Exams are short answer.

was not that hard. Easy lectures, just attend the class - write or audio record everything he says. Tests are short answers and mostly based on what he said in class.

Extremely boring. Doesn't have lecture slides, instead he dictates the notes so be prepared to write until your arm falls off. Must attend class to get accurate notes! Material is very detailed and so is the exam which is all short answer. Repeats exams so get past tests to pass. Be ready to memorize. Very helpful if you go to office hours

He's a great guy!

Yes his classes are dull and the course material is awful. There is quite a lot to cover for the tests and the textbooks are filled with a lot of nonsense that take up your time reading again and again to further simplify and breakdown the material. A multiple choice test would be appreciated with this much info but no, thats not happening.

Brian Clarence is a very knowledgable guy. He knows what he is talking about. His lectures are extremely boring, but he is very reasonable on tests, provided you read his material back to front. He is also really kind and willing to help if you can't understand his lecture

I agree the lectures are boring! Lisening to him talk about drywalls and piping systems is no more exciting then watching paint dry. He may be the only proff in this program that will not give you any multiple choice on the exam which does makes it a bit more difficult.

Brian is an ok prof. but god, are his classes BORING. He needs to show more enthousiasm! His classes, I feel, are useless for the most part, especially pollution control. Bring a pillow and a book, cause you're gonna need them for his classes.
