One of the best professors at the school. His class is fun and he is so flexible with assignments.

My favorite teacher, maybe ever. Such a genuine, nice guy and clearly cares about his students. Shares his passion for math and his other hobbies, and the whole class is very conducive to learning. The choose-your-own-adventure format is hard to understand at first but it works really well. Taking 3180 and 3190 with him was amazing.

He is amazing. I took his EnCalc class online during the summer and I think he is an amazing teacher over all. He made sure to ask if anyone had questions anytime the subject was confusing. He keeps it real and honest. When something is difficult he make sure that you fully understand it. He's a great guy and he loves rollercoasters!

Mr. B was very funny and always started class with a fun topic of discussion. He really remembers what it was like to be an engineering student and is very flexible with due dates for assignments and attendance, which is reflected in his standards-based grading model. This model allows for a bit of backloading and correcting up incorrect work.

Mr. B was a great teacher who taught by connecting the topics of EnMath A to real-world engineering scenarios, which I liked. I also really enjoyed the standards-based grading of the class, which was intimidating at first but ended up helping me succeed. Also, very accessible outside of class with 6 office hour sessions a week.

Mr. B is the goat. Always funny and makes lectures engaging. Grading is super fair, HW is based on completion, and there are no exams (quizzes and final project only). You can get up to half of the points you lost on quizzes back; he genuinely wants students to succeed. He also hosted a "bake-off" at the end of the semester which was super fun.

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!!!!

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.

Mr.Brennan is one of the top teachers at Washu.His lectures are clear and engaging. He got me to show up to every class for his humor alone. He's also great for reaching out to and asking for advice.

Genuine interest in the topics was evident, & that made lectures exciting. His engineering background meant that he had a strong understanding of applications & understood his audience (eng majors, not math majors). Kind, understanding, & enthusiastic; enforced expectations in a respectful way & made an effort to get to know every student.

Awesome professor! Very organized and clear on expectations, reasonable grading, and reasonable difficulty work. You will learn a lot but the class structure makes it not stressful. Plus he's just a caring, nice professor generally.
