Professor Brian has a passion for teaching and it shows. He really cares about the success of his students and is therefore very tentative and willing to work at your pace. He makes the subject interesting, even to those who are uninterested. Professor Brian is without a doubt my favorite professor at Daytona State.

Professor Smith was one of the kindest and most compassionate professors I have ever come across my entire experience at the school. He is flexible and truly wants his students to succeed. Would recommend him a million times over! If you are not good at math he offers plenty of office hours to make sure you understand course content. 10/10

Comment:

The BEST professor I've ever had! He makes Calculus seem so easy. He explains very well, and is willing to answer all of your questions. You can go to his office hours and he will help you out too. If you pay attention in class and practice a lot of problems, you will do fine. He cares about his students, and will help out as much as he can.

Professor Smith is extremely understanding and caring, and treats his students with respect. He does assign a lot of homework, and I specifically took intermediate algebra with him and he uses Pearson MyMathLab, it's an awesome tool that walks you step-by-step through the problems if you're having issues. He is very easy to get in touch with, 10/10

This class uses the pearsonmylab program and I love it. Its easy to learn how to do math problems on there if youre a visual learner. Smith mainly assigns sets of math problems on there and every other week expect to see a discussion post due where you have to show your work. I really like that you can always see your grade in the class too.

Mr. Smith is an amazing professor to take at DSC. He's funny, caring, and turns his lectures into art. Literally. Albeit the homework he assigns has a ton of questions, it was worth it in the end. I'd take him again because he's amazing!

Professor Smith is a very organized and professional instructor. Hes easy to contact, respectful, and provides awesome feedback. I took his 10 week online Trig class and nearly passed with a 100 average. If you study the material he provides, youll be absolutely fine.

Comment:

Amazing teacher. I went in blind not previously have taken pre-calc, and he made sure i never needed it. Trig is definitely helpful prior, however pre-calc with this teach is practically useless, he explains the easiest of steps so everyone understands. If you're good at math its a easy A. Textbook isnt necessary as his notes are all you need.

Fantastic professor! I was so nervous to take calculus1 since I've heard so many rumors about it being so difficult. But Brian Smith makes calculus very enjoyable! This was a class that i would look forward to going to! As long as you do all of the hw assignments and labs, you'll do great on the exams. Couldn't ask for a better calculus teacher.

Brian Smith is amazing !! He is extremely helpful. He isnt worried about stopping the lecture to explain something you dont understand, he encourages your questions. available for emails/office hours before/after class, he stays after class to answer questions. posts lab answers online, even if you dont do them you can get 100% if you just copy.

Professor Brian Smith has to be one of my favorite professors. I took his 1/2 semester online intermediate algebra class as an elective. He was very thorough. He called me when I missed an assignment and even gave me the chance to redo it. He gets back to you with great response time. I would definitely suggest taking his class!

Took this professor for calc 1. I am now in calc 3. My professors for calc 2 & 3 are rubbish compared to this professor. If you don't take him, you are making a huge mistake. On top of being a great professor, he is a genuinely nice and funny guy. Wish I was still taking him!! Thanks Brian!
