Reviews of professor William Hardy

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Hardy is very clear about the expectations for this class. Discussion questions are submitted in essay form and responses are done in paragraph form. Hes available for help when asked! I honestly did not think I would do well, but I put in the work and I mean WORK and did pretty well!!!

I took Dr. Hardy's Early US History online and it was the hardest class of my semester. I feel like I wrote 15 papers for his class but he gave very good feedback to better yourself on the next assignment. If you aren't willing to put in 105% effort, do NOT take Dr. Hardy, because you will not pass.

Get ready to read and write. Literally the toughest class I have taken, but though Dr. Hardy is demanding, he communicates more than any professor Ive had, has clear expectations, offers emails with helpful hints and suggestions for the assignments, and allows for make-up work with a slight deduction for being late which has helped me.

Grades low even if you meet the listed requirements if he feels like you should've done more. I.E. Giving a C on a discussion post with a 250 word requirement, because he felt that you "could've gone further than simply 4 paragraphs." Criticisms don't even follow the prompts given. Only professor I've ever had this much trouble with. Avoid.

This class did have tons of reading and lots of discussions, papers, quizzes, and tests. He is a tougher grader but very doable and possible to pass.

AVOID THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS! He assigns more busy work than I have ever experienced, even after coming from a University. He assigns discussion boards with a minimum of 250 words but will give you an "F" if it is less than 500. You are also required to submit your assignments 5 days before the deadline for an "A". This man is a complete nightmare.

This guy was a great communicator. He emailed a lot and responded very promptly. I also wrote more than I did in any COMP class. He wasn't clear if I asked for direction and what he was looking for if he took points off on a grade. VERY TOUGH GRADER! I made an A+ but I put blood sweat and tears in it to get it.
