Reviews of professor ben Hildebrand

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great lecturer, best one I've had in any TCC math class. Had plenty of extra credit opportunities on tests. Semester grade was 80% tests, and 20% homework. Extra credit on the homework for turning it in early. The homework was online and allowed several attempts on each problem, with a help button on most problems that would walk through steps.

I'm not exactly sure happened during the semester, but he would post on Blackboard saying that he would be uploading certain lectures on specific days and only follow through 1/2 the time. This made me incredibly frustrated as I tried to balance my school and work load. Ultimately I spent most of my free time dedicated to this class.

I'm not very good at math, but as long as you take notes and pay attention in class you should be fine. There are a lot of assignmetns on StatLab that you must complete, but you have unlimited tries to get a good grade. His tests are just like his reviews, so as long as you study the reviews you should do well in his class.

The class was great and very interactive, if you didnt understand all you had to do was ask and he would back track. A very relaxed environment. I am typically not good at or enjoy math, but this class I understood and enjoyed.

Pretty alright. He's nice and I don't feel intimidated to ask questions or talk to him. His lectures are fine, a bit boring but it's a math class so... sometimes it's par for the course haha(I mean.. unless you're enthused about math. which... is fair). Anyway, in conclusion if you take him, it's going to be fine, you're prob not going to hate it.

Fantastic teaching style, clear and concise. My favorite professor I've had for any math class in my life. Calculus 3 is not an easy class, but he breaks problems down incredibly well and makes it seem doable. Class was graded 80% on tests, and 20% on the online homework. Working through homework problems really helped with exams. Highly recommend.

There are 4 tests in Calc I. Before every test, he emailed details about the content of each question and pointed out similar problems for each of them in the book. He also allowed students to bring 1 index card (3''x5'') to the test (front and back) and 2 to the final exam. Graphing calculators are okay in tests. All tests are handwritten.

He is a friendly professor. His lessons focus on the kinds of stuff you need to know for your major. He is also a kind person. He is always happy to answer your questions and explain them clearly until you understand them. Do all your homework; you are easy get an A plus for your class. 100% would take that class again!
