Reviews of professor Alex Hornberger

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This is during summer... He was a chill grader and if you needed help you could join the zoom but the assignments were posted ahead of time. He graded towards the end but was not strict. He did not give much information and resources so it was a do it yourself mostly. It was pretty chill overall, it said in person but he always had it on zoom.

Gives solid advice that helps you the outside world and is a great teacher. Makes you work for your credit and is always accessible. Gives great feedback on homework done and cares for his students. Fantastic teacher!

Took Alex for ITEC 325 and ITEC 411 over the summer. He is always trying to keep the class engaged during lectures asking if we have questions or need clarification. Definitely one of the better professors I've had for an online course. However, he tends to not respond sometimes. Many of my classmates have had that problem with him.

Professor Hornberger is misunderstood. He is really cool. He is 100% a hard teacher, but he is willing to help a lot. His teaching style is so you actually learn the process of what you are doing. His class was one of the most beneficial classes I have taken at Towson, I learned so much. Take him at your own discretion, you have to teach yourself.

If you show up to class and pay attention you'll be fine. Does not round up whatsoever but he lets you know that at the beginning of the semester. He doesn't hold your hand throughout the semester so if you're used to that then don't take this class. Expects you to look up what you don't know, like an adult. Tests are online/take home.

Alex is a really cool guy, but his grading is so wacky. You could do perfect on an assignment and he'll give you a 95/100 for "minor grammar" while having nothing but grammatical mistakes in his comments and rubrics lol. Despite that, his course load is simple and easier than most. He seems to genuinely enjoy interacting with students and is funny.
