OBrien is a great professor. I had an A in lab, but I completely bombed the practicum. He gave me an A and I should have gotten a C! If you are prepared and really try your best, he will notice you and you will do well. Definitely a favorite professor!
Awesome
Professor O'Brien is a great teacher! He really cares about his students. Once when our class was struggling with the online lecture, he took the time out of his personal life to come teach a lecture that helped us.
Awesome
O'Brien enjoys educating students and is really knowledgeable, one of my favorite professors so far. He is also accessible outside of class and ready to help if you are confused or have problems. Prepare for the labs/reports it'll make them fairly easy, and straightforward. The class also consist of pre-lab quizzes.
