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..

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.

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.

Mr Goodale was extremely active in trying to connect with his students and create an inclusive learning environment.

Brandon is literally my favorite teacher. Online school isn't fun but he keeps everything really entertaining and makes Spanish one of my favorite classes.
