Mr B is probably one of the best professors at WashU. He made Enmath B (ESE 319) very interesting, and he'll do everything he can to make sure you understand the topics. His grading and expectations are very reasonable/attainable, and he genuinely wants you to succeed

Brennan is an all-around great teacher. Brennan's lectures were engaging, interesting, and useful. He's very funny, makes the lectures entertaining, and I genuinely looked forward to attending his class every week. Assessments and grading were very reasonable and fair as there were lots of opportunities to gain back points. 11/10 would take again.

The way Mr. Brennan has this class set up is awesome! You have the ability to learn a lot and be challenged, without it stressing you out like other classes! The environment of this class is really great. Also, Mr. Brennan is very clear on expectations and very accessible outside of class. He's a professor that actually cares about his students!!!!

Dr. Brennan deserves this 4.0/5.0 rating for her excellent teaching and caring attitude to students. However, Dr. Brennan is also a harsh grader. One mistake in a multiple choice might cause you to lose 10 points (out of 100) in the quiz. Get prepared to memorize. Also, there's 10-hour homework per week, which adds too much unnecessary burden.

This professor is really great and offer slow pace lectures. Homework are graded solely based on completeness not correctness. The course content is really difficult but tests are not heavy math. Sometimes, you need two letter papers to complete a question so make sure you have enough time to do all works. 2% bonus if most people complete survey.

Dr. Brennan cares about her students. Though the material for this class isn't riveting, she makes you WANT to like it (though it is hard to like numerical methods IMO). Her homeworks take a lot of time but they set you up nicely for exams. It's definitely time consuming but worth the effort.

Dr. Brennan is one of the strongest professors in the department. She clearly cares about teaching and it shows in her engaging lectures and willingness to talk to students outside of class through both Piazza and office hours.

Dr. Brennan is the best professor I have ever met. The material is well prepared. She cares about students. HWs take reasonable amount of time and they are very enlightening. The exam difficulty is fair. She is an easy-grader. The course is graded on a holistic understanding of the material instead of memorizing. I will take more courses with her.
