Engl4376. Don't do it. I wanted to like & be nice to this guy. He's only taught at UT for a year. Omg. He teaches the textbook. His instructions can be vague and then he'll message you asking why you didn't do what he wanted. He talks like we're supposed to understand graduate terms. I hardly learned anything. I'm sure he's a great person..Rate My Professors ↗

Enjoyed class very much. Lectures were often interesting and engaging rambles on other topics not always related to class material. Gave genuinely good feedback on essays and made a great effort to get to know you as a person and help you succeed. Super nice and relatable. Would take any class he teaches.Rate My Professors ↗

Brandon is okay. He is engaging and funny but I did not learn anything in class. All we did was go over homework which did not help at all. Also a bit disorganized and his instructions are often vague.Rate My Professors ↗
