Tim is incredible. If you're looking for a math teacher and reading this review, stop looking. Tim can make any nervous math student learn what he's teaching. He is beyond thorough, posts EVERYTHING he writes online, has an interesting sense of humor, but will not baby you. No book, HW is not required, only 3 tests. You will pass with Tim.

Mr. Bryan makes math very simple. I was afraid to finally take brief calc but he was a great instructor. He allows one page of notes, no homework is graded, only 3 test for the class. Take him if you are scared of math. He is the best!

Great instructor, can side track at times but does not become an issue. Took him for 212 & 218. Posts all lecture notes online, readily responds to questions/emails. Show up and do the homework and you will pass.

I swear he is one of the best college professor I have encounter. He can be tidiness but his teaching is amazing. Repetition helps a lot in learning, he likes to repeat. His exams are reasonable. He lets us use a sheet of notes. Overall He is amazing, his humor is dry but hilarious. :)

Tim is the best math instructor you will ever have. I can site several examples but nothing will matter more than to just tell you he is a fantastic facilitator who can teach ANYONE math. NO BOOK! All lectures/notes posted online to view 24/7. He does many examples and explains EVERY STEP. You must be respectful because he does not mess around.

He's a great professor and a very fair grader. I took him for 121 and 151 because I liked him so much. He is super funny and clearly explains the information he teaches. You are allowed a page of notes for each exam, so it is very easy to get an A in his class. He doesn't collect homework but it is still good to do it for practice. Great guy!

Tim Bryan is a genius instructor, I had him for Math 120 and 151. He takes the time to explain things to you , and the he posts his notes online for you to review later which helped me a lot. I highly recommend him.

His classes are easily passable if you take the time to do the homework and participate in class. Lectures are easy to understand and follow. Projects are the same and he is always happy to provide feedback and give extra assistance. Would definitely recommend for anyone to take.

He is really hard professor actually his class is simple because he didn't know how to explain the materials and his tests are really tough so study hard and do the homework to pass the class.

He doesn't grade homework but it is so important to do it in order to be comfortable with the material to pass the tests. There are only 3 tests and a couple projects / extra credit assignments for additional points. Lecture-style teaching but it is very good.

He has own teaching strategies, its great cause he simplify's the lectures. Great professor, if you can't pass this class, than math isn't your cup of tea.

Comment:

This class is simply too easy for its division. My prior class in Intermediate Algebra was more advanced. In this class, linear and quadratic functions are covered as well as matrices while only hinting at rational and radical functions. Polynomial, absolute value, and implicit functions are never covered and really should be in MAT-151.

Comment:

The guy knows his math, so it's no question, however, since I did well in his MAT150, 182 and MAT220 I still don't feel completely confident. I recommend a more thorough outline if you want to know the subject better. Cool guy, though.

So basically come to class, learn the lecture, if you miss it, he posts everything he lectured online. he doesn't collect Homeworks but you have to do it for practice, otherwise. He doesn't take attandance, so he doesn't care if you're there on not, but of course, the more days u miss the more you'll be lost, so just come dude. a bit rude so 8/10.

Explains the course material in an easy-to-understand manner at a comfortable pace. Homework is targeted at specifically learning and understanding the material while building towards the next steps. Whereas tests are focused on proving the student has succeeded in learning. He takes a personal interest in his role and his students' success.

Be prepared to spend 2-3 hours in his class. He is very detailed and organized. You don't need to buy a book. Lectures are found on google slides under his name. You need discipline to learn the material on your own, since he does not give homework. I advise you seek only him for tutoring. Not recommended for students who are easily offended.

Comment:

Makes you learn proofs and requires you to do problems the long way on tests. He teaches the less complicated version AFTER the test. He gets off topic very easily, we had to cram the last two chapters in before the test because of it.

Comment:

He is very smart. He can teach any math topic without using a textbook. He can be rude & never has time for "stupid questions", or "stupid people". He is quick to dismiss your "stupid question" for the sake of time, yet constantly sidetracks. Tests were surprisingly easy (allows notes if you're good) despite his rhetoric but I'll pass next time.

Tim is a great instructor. The way he teaches math is very organized and detailed. He doesn't skip any steps shows you step by step how to figure it out. He has dry humor which to me is hilarious. His tests are easy, and allows one page of notes. I would recommend him to anyone taking any math at PC
