He's rude and treats STU 101 like it's an actual class. He gives more homework than other STU teachers, sometimes even more than my other actual classes.

He is very rude. He locks students out of the room if they are a minute late and have just came from Stone Center. I recommend taking someone else that actually understand Freshmen for STU 101.

Watching the bombing of Hiroshima in American History was more interesting than taking his classes. He makes music the chore it should be. I would recommend taking any course he teaches from anyone else.

I had Mr Brandon for an advisor when I first came to JSU. HE was super helpful and got back to all my emails the same day. When I got the chance to take his class, It didnt seem like the same person. I wouldnt recommend him as a professer.

Mr. Brandon is a very good teacher. If you want to be good at aural skills, take him. He may challenge you, but you learn a lot. He is helpful if you are punctual, polite and do your work.

In all honesty, I haven't practiced or anything outside of class and still have received a B and a C in my two semesters in his class. Do your stuff and you will pass. Tick him off and you will not pass. Don't be stupid and you'll be fine...

he's a horrible teacher. when you're telling someone they're wrong, don't smile at them while doing it. people don't really appreciate you laughing at them when they feel horrible the way it is.

Much more work than should be required for a 1 hour class. He is arrogant and un-interested in his students. This class was a horrible and stressfull experience.

I LOVE Mr. Brandon! He's an excellent clarinet teacher and he's fun to be around. He can be tough, but if you just do the work then you won't have any problems. He makes aural skills better and he's willing to help. He's a GREAT guy. He makes clarinet studio, lessons, and cl. choir SO much fun. He's fun to joke around with too...just don't slack of

Mr. Brandon is one of my favorite teachers in the entire world. He's such a nice guy, and he's so easy to get along with. He made Aural Skills easy, so it was a little boring, but who doesn't want easy?

What a **** wrinkle. In some ways I just feel sorry for him- not sure why though. I'd take someone else if possible- although if you do your work you should pass.
