Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students earn As, but comments stress studying, homework, and reading are required for fair exams.
Evidence is mostly in person; the two online reviews also describe rewarding but time-consuming work.
Is the course easy?
Content volume is high and fast-paced, yet he breaks anatomy and EMS material into learnable pieces.
Both formats describe heavy material; in-person labs and EMS courses dominate the sample.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviews mark attendance as mandatory and warn that missing class hurts success.
Attendance pressure is clear mainly from in-person reviews; online notes are sparse.
Is this professor recommended?
Near-universal praise for support, humor, and real-world prep with only a few older dissenters.
Recommendation is strong across formats, with denser detail from in-person students.

Course format
Classroom format
High confidence · Best fit for Effort For Reward
In-person students overwhelmingly love his humor, lab support, and practical EMS teaching, while warning that the material and tests demand real effort.
Main concern
Heavy reading, homework, and tests; a minority say tangents waste class time.
What students said
“BEST PROFESSOR EVER, i genuinely enjoyed lab with him, the class covers a lot of material very fast but he makes it look so easy”
“When he means you'll read the textbook, he means you will read cover to cover or you will FAIL.”
“PASSED MY NREMT ON THE FIRST TRY! Brian is a superb professor”
Remote format
Low confidence · Best fit for Effort For Reward
Limited online feedback still praises his care, extra credit, and ability to make heavy anatomy/EMS content more approachable.
Main concern
Very few online reviews and one is older, so online exam logistics are unclear.
What students said
“Professor Brian is a really good professor in that he really tries to make this subject a little more exciting and easier in a way for you to remember the terms. He gives you plenty of extra credit too!”
“He takes the time with each student in recognizing strengths and weaknesses, having a genuine care for not only the student as an individual, but in ensuring each students comprehension of material.”
Exam style
Exams are described as fair when students complete reading and homework, not as open-book free passes.
Assessment risk
Standard
55/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person students describe fair, work-based exams, practicums, and quiz systems rather than open-book freebies.
“Brians exams are fair only if you do the work.”
“Three practicums and best score taken from 5 quizzes out of 9-10. As long as you study the slides, you will succeed!”
Online reviews do not clearly prove proctoring style, only that anatomy work is time-consuming with extra credit available.
“Since anatomy is a time consuming class, you need to have a structured schedule of when you want to study and make sure you use your time WISELY!”
Student evidence
Top student voice
“Brian is great. He's one of the most down-to-Earth professors I've very had. ... Overall a great experience, couldn't have asked for anyone better.”
“He really went above and beyond to share some details about health care. He also provided a lot of support to struggling students.”
“PASSED MY NREMT ON THE FIRST TRY! Brian is a superb professor and I adamantly feel that this class has 1) made me a better person 2) proficiently prepared me for the NREMT.”
“This class is not for the weak. When he means you'll read the textbook, he means you will read cover to cover or you will FAIL.”
