this class is very hard and the professor is not helpful.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His lectures can be hard to follow as they are pre-written. He's a great professor however. Available at all hours, quick to respond, and very willing to help his students. Homework can be difficult/time consuming. Overall great professor!

Lot of homework, exams were very difficult, but he gives practice exams to help study.
Barely passed due to the few extra credit opportunities that he gives throughout the semester.

Although Prof. Herbert has high expectations for his students, it's only to prepare them for what is upcoming. He is teaching a course that is designed to eliminate those who are not willing to do the work or ask for help when they need it. I found Prof. Herbert to be more than fair and very helpful when asked.

THE BEST math teacher I have ever had. (Second place is Dr. Nguyen at UTSA). The homework is harder than the tests, and is usually given a week in advance (it takes the whole week to complete). He posts practice exams and they're very helpful. His passion for math is infectious, I always leave class feeling good about what I just learned.

Dr. Herbert is an awesome professor. Yes, he is tough (read comments below), but he does care about students. He makes sure YOU LEARN! He is someone that will spend the time to explain you in detail. He is NOT as OTHER professors who use COPIED powerpoint and give a MEDIOCRE lecture.

This class is a huge load of work, homework due every week. Make sure to stay on your toes because you can definitely get behind in the class. This class is very possible to pass if you simply put in the work flat out. There are no dropped quizzes are exams. Effort you put in is the grade youll get out, plain and simple. I'd take this class again.

Dr. Herbert made extremely difficult topics almost easy and quick work. EA1 requires a lot of time and practice, but Dr. Herbert gives phenomenal lectures, responds to emails quickly, and is more than willing to stay after class to answer questions. Theres extra credit for every exam, but a lot of homework. Id take Dr Herbert again in a heartbeat

Dr. Herbert is a really good professor that listens to the students and tries to be a better instructor continuously. However, he has a ton of homework that was very long. The recitations are mandatory and unfortunately, they were not beneficial. Extra credit is given on every exam. Focus on the practice exams and you'll do great on the midterms.
