Hands down the worst professor I've ever had. ALL over the place, VERY unclear to what material is being covered, talks about sexual content WAY to much, regret not dropping his course.

Comment:

Was one of the most obnoxious profs I've ever had. Would go on loud tangents and said some truly bizarre and questionable things. Material was sound (but expect a LOT of Freud). Tests frequently and, if you study the textbook, you can get decent grades. Weekly labs can also boost your grade if you study the material. Gives participation grades.

Comment:

I am certain that Brodie knows what he's taking about and is great at his psychology work. But he is TERRIBLE at teaching it. He was rude and uncalled for on multiple occasions with various students and whenever someone asked a question he'd scoff and move on without answering. Would not recommend.

Comment:

Del Brodie is an acquired taste. He has very frequent quizzeslabs and tests but if you show up to class and read your text then you will do fine. He is a bit crazy and says some very questionable things but you learn to just laugh. His course is tough if you don't like going to class or reading. He took time to learn our names so that's nice.

Comment:

Brodie is MESSED. Not only did he purpose to me in class, but he also enjoys kicking chairs to scare the whole class and making fun of how ugly his niece is who has a serious illness that causes deformities. His class notes look like they're made on paint and he has a 250 multiple choice exam. Good Luck.

Comment:

Worst Prof ever. Took intro to Psych with him last year and he gave off the impression of being crazy. I remember him jumping on the tables, throwing desks around and randomly flicking the lights on /off. He stutters and I didn't learn anything. He says "Whatever" 50 billion times a class. AVOID

He's good. I didn't know anything before I took his class. Now I do. Some students text all through class then complain because they don't get something. They annoy me and I'm trying to learn something.

Comment:

You basically have to teach yourself. He doesn't make sense at all . I'd you go in after hours he does help but his classes are pointless. He is all over the place when he teaches. I think his intentions are good but he just confuses students

Comment:

Brodie is eccentric and gets a bad rep from some people but he is actually hands down one of the best profs I've had for math. I took Stats with him and he will give you points for trying pretty much. If you see him outside of class hell do the assignment for you! His test also has a cheat sheet. He was really helpful for me.

Awful teaching style, not clear and would definitely not recommend this class to anyone. His labs are useless and I didn't learn anything. Worst Prof I had at STU yet.

Comment:

I found him very odd. He did not care to elaborate if you were stuck or needed help. He never used the text book. I did not like him what so ever, however the way his classes are structured and designed, it is not hard to pass.

Comment:

If you don't have to take his class don't. He isn't a very good prof and but you do take his class ahead so you understand what is being talked about. I found he liked to make fun of people that didn't do well in class, although he didn't point them out he would inform the class about how any people failed and laugh at the group.

Comment:

If you want to do well study the textbook, and read the chapters ahead of time so you know what he's talking about. He is often inconsistent with what he says. Very helpful, and eccentric, and humorous, but he is a frustrating prof to have. He tests you very frequently, 3 quizzes, 3 labs, and 2 tests, and one finale, participation, etc...

Brodie is a great professor. He can be eccentric but it makes for an interesting class. If you are willing to show up to class and read the text (which is easy to read and informative) then there is no reason to not get a good grade. He outlines expectations very clearly!

He really wants you to use the text but going to his classes are essential. I found the class a lot easier when I went and listened because he's a good prof and enthusiastic and a lot of things he says in class are on the tests/quizzes. I really enjoyed his class.

Comment:

I did Intro to Stats with Brodie. I'm terrible in math but he explains things, offers extra help, and wants you to pass. He's very enthusiastic, and is a bit quirky, but overall I found him to be a great professor. I managed to do well when I barely passed math in high school.

Comment:

Very unclear about what he wants. I did well in his course, but it was because I read the textbook, without it I would have never did well. His lectures are almost pointless, his tests are not entirely relevant to course material, there are questions that are just random facts or names that he barely mentions in class.

Comment:

You might as well not pay for University and just read the book. What is he there for? I don't quite know. His tests are based upon mundane things in the textbook that aren't very important. Every time he says "whatever" a little part of me dies. Drop out and take an overload next time or study really hard for this useless course.
