Comment:
-did not know stats at all, class was cancelled half the time I'd say for him to mark assignments/learn stats. Lectures were useless, it seemed like he was only 1 lecture ahead (but didn't even know the content). I left stats learning nothing ...all we did was calculate mean, median mode, SD (no joke). should never teach this course ever again.

Comment:
The course sucks. But Brent is super nice and really just wants every one to do well. He had no TAs to help so I blame most of the problems of this course on that fact. Brent wasn't super clear in some of his explanations, and seemed not to know the material 100% himself sometimes, but he'd always get back to you with researched answers.

Brent is very helpful in a way that he will teach you to think. He is also very critical and think from many different angles. Definitely one of the nicest prof I've known. I just wish most profs are just like him. =)

Brent and Art are two of my fav profs! I've never really had Brent as a prof (except for lfs and grs) but he's such a kind person and is always willing to help, even with his busy schedule. Never looks down on you (maybe literally haha)and really puts an effort to know you as a person, not just another random student.

Nice guy, very understanding, and gives extension to every assignment. However, for a 3-credit course the work load is heavy. If you don't like group projects you shouldn't take this class. You never get your marks back... extremely slow marker, overall there were 5 assignments plus midterm and final. Memory aids are allowed in the exams

Possess a quiet intelligence that is easily overpowered by Rojas, but is very helpful both in and out of class time.

Had him a couple of years ago in my 4th year, but I think he is still one of the best professors that I have ever had in all the diverse courses I took. Hope his health is holding up so that he can continue to teach about the science of food. :D
