I took the course last year. If you can get into Brian's class - do it! A lot of work sometimes but I learned a lot.

A long final exam but no surprises. Should get a good mark. You just need to follow the example questions.

Comment:
I simply do not understand how Brian has this high rating. When lecturing he asks obvious questions and makes a big deal out of the answer. That along with the repeated bad jokes make him annoying to listen to, and therefore hard to focus on the course material. Out of 10 people between two sections I have talked to, no-one likes him.

Comment:
I don't understand why he is rated so high. Very unclear and ambiguous in teaching. Purposely puts mistakes in slides to 'catch students' attention'. Impatient and seems offended all the time when a student asks him a question. occasionally tries to crack up a bad joke. Possibly one of the worst profs i've had in Sauder-most of my classmates agree.

terrible prof, knows what he's talking about but explains it horrendously and just confuses everyone, puts wrong things in his notes 'on purpose' to see if you are 'paying attention' but when you ask him to explain it he starts stuttering and says he will email you to explain (just buying time), very vague marking, gives bad feedback, avoid him!

Beer game and bullwhip - what more do you need? Like the course and the Brian even better. He used a good mix of the book and cases to keep me interested.

398 uses a lot of cases which was the best way to learn about processes. Take Brian for this course if you can.

We have to take 399. Brian makes it interesting and uses examples to clearly explain the difficult chapters. If you attend class and participate, you will get a good mark.

You should take Brian for courses. The workload is a bit higher than other courses but I am learning a lot.
