Fall 2018 - This was the most UNFAIR class ever. At the beginning of the year the class seemed fairly straightforward and everything made sense. We had homework every section, but it helped you for the midterms. I received a 97 on the first midterm and a 92 on the second one. However, for his final he clearly told us that he was going to make it more difficult than the previous years' exams because we were "more capable." If on average I scored a 94.5 on the midterms someone please tell me how it is possible/fair to get a 66% on the final. I think his class was great he was a great professor, but he said he didn't curve the class at all and was happy that most people scored D's than A's and B's combined because he thought that was a more even grade distribution. Overall, if you think there are better teachers out there for 31A please take them. If you're stuck with Brizolis it's easy until the end, which is what matters most (40% of your grade). So hope and pray you will do well

Fall 2019 - THE ONLY PROFESSOR YOU SHOULD NEVER TAKE A CLASS WITH. TRUST ME. I'm a math major and I had to work my ass off to salvage a B. Plus, the guy is a dick. On the first midterm, like 50% of the class got an A- or more, so he announced that too many people did well so he was gonna make the second midterm MUCH tougher so that people wouldn't do well. He is the ONLY professor I have ever met who WANTS the students to fail. Honestly, I have ZERO respect for this man and I would never wish this hell upon anyone.
