Professor Phillips is the best prof I have ever had. He is not bias about politics and gives the facts straight. He genuinely cares about his students and I have gone to ask him about career guidance as well. He has a true passion for people with disabilities and it shows through in his lectures.

Brian Phillips is one of the best professors I've had. He is a genuinely nice person and truly cares how his students do. He makes the 3 hour lecture tolerable and is always interested in hearing back from his students on how he's doing. He made me realize what I want to do in the future, and I sincerely wish I could have him as a professor again.

Brian is a great professor. He is so passionate about the material, but also about his students. Even if the content isn't that great he is very aware of it and tries to lighten it up (even during the 3 hour lectures). It is really clear that he wants every one of his students to do well and very clear that he is a great person.
