What Brendan’s Students are Saying
Brendan is Super Cool
Brendan is super cool. He’s immensely supportive of his students, and he’s always happy to help. His class is welcoming and conversational. The feedback he provides on our assignments always provides tons of clarity, and you feel really good when they begin with something like, “duuuuude this is sick!!” Lol. Thankful to learn from this guy!!
Very Quick to Review Our Submitted Assignment
Has good experience and stories about current work, enjoys the small lectures and shot analysis he has been doing at the start of the recent lectures. And always willing to look through work we have been doing, very quick to review our submitted assignment which could mean we have the ability to get stuff done on Monday and show in class if we wanted more feedback
