Reviews of professor Eric Herrera

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Easily the worst professor I've ever had. He was very inaccessible outside class, fell behind constantly on lectures, grades very harshly, and assigns roughly 30 pages per class, despite not teaching the information. He even filled out a job app in front of us during lab. Ended up dropping due to stress and knowing that I would not pass with him.

Professor Herrera genuinely cares about his students & truly wants to do a good job at his job as a professor. He assigns a lot of homework but also gives a lot of extra credit work. Make sure to read the syllabus over & his instructions, he has a specific way he likes things done. Follow his rules, complete hw, do extra credit & you'll get an A.

He's a great professor, but he needs a smaller class size. He seemed overwhelmed by the 40+ students during lecture, however he's a solid teacher himself. PICK A GOOD LAB PARTNER!!!!

Took the class back in Fall 2018 and left a review. Found out my review got deleted! By far the worst professor, made me hate college on my first semester. My opinion, don't take him even if he's the only one open.

He was terrible. I was hesitant to take him considering the reviews, but decided to just give him the benefit of the doubt. Never again. He was unclear, didn't help. Even with the pandemic and moving online he actually got worse. Would never suggest anyone to take him. He was very strict about clear responses but to the point of unfair grading.

I put in so much time and effort yet still passed with a low B. Class average was a 60%. Herrera knows his chemistry but teaches it poorly. Lectures drag on, but do little to help you on exams. Didn't set up Canvas or let us know our grades until halfway through semester. 5 exams, 2 lab exams, and final, yet drops none of them. Take anyone else!

this is the worst teacher i have ever had in my entire life, NEVER TAKE HIM. wish i could give a zero rating instead of one. he is extremely rude and doesn't care about your grade or helping you to understand at all. doesn't post lectures on canvas and is always behind in teaching them but will still give us all the work.

Although this class required a lot of papers, Professor Herrera had amazing lectures, knew what he was talking about, and even graded the tougher exams on a curve. He really wanted everyone to be successful.

I've been at Sierra for almost four years, and Eric Herrera has been the worst professor I've ever had. Eric originally was a high school teacher, and admittedly told our class that he couldn't take it anymore, because parents kept complaining about him. He would get upset is you were even a minute late. This isn't HIGH SCHOOL! Avoid at all costs.
