Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Intro Ceramics was challenging as a beginner. I have ADHD and Brian was very CONDESCENDING and PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE about me "not listening." I also got Covid, missing some classes and he was gone for a while and had a sub teacher. I had no idea what was going on. Then he had me restart my project which was so frustrating.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
He is very knowledgeable about ceramics, but would spend way too much time talking about minuscule details that aren't super important for the class and then would complain how everyone was behind. I used to love ceramics, but Brian made it way more stressful than it had to be. I was more stressed out about this class than my other 3 combined.
