Reviews of professor Christopher Herring

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr Herring is an incredible professor. Fewer students take his circuits class because his class is more difficult, which it is, but he gives great feedback and advice. If you are not willing to put in the effort to master the topics covered or don't want to go to him for advise whether or not you are struggling, then you shouldn't blame him for it.

Dr. Herring is a nice guy but he is lecture heavy and is very adamant about arriving to class on time. He requires you to read two novel books and quizzes you, and also requires you to write some papers. Group projects are also a major factor of this class.

I truly believe that Herring does not want students to succeed. This class could be so much better and such a good experience for students. At least make it worth more credits because they brag about the fact that you will be spending 15 hours a week on this class, making you sacrifice your other grades as well. The atmosphere is hostile.

Professor Herring is going to make you work for anything above a mid B. Circuits is already a hard class so be ready if you are taking him. He keeps his lectures short and sweeet which have their pros and cons and being on time is a must for him especially for lab. For tests, he really makes you think but he has abundant sources to study with.

Herring was the only choice for ECSE 2170 in FALL 2021. At first, I was scared about his course because of all of his divisive reviews; however, with hard work, Herring's class was not bad. Herring provides a pretty nice curve, based on improvement with tests, attendance, and overall work ethic. Go to class, go to office hours, and you'll make BA

I really liked Dr. Herring for circuits. He was very helpful if you reach out to him, and he holds optional problem solving sessions that mirror exams pretty well. The only thing is that he won't curve until the final grades, so it is kind of a leap of faith whether you are passing or not. Circuits is a really hard class, but he is a good option.

This class is hard, but it has taught me so many things about the whole engineering process as a whole, you have to take this course if you're a EE or CSE and its going to be hard so make sure you plan your semester around this course and be ready to leave Driftmier at 5am multiple times. But Herring was helpful through the whole process

This class, of which Herring is the only professor, is terrible. The grading is unclear and the topics that are covered in the lecture are very unrelated to each other. The tests cover random facts and points made in lectures and a 60% is one of the best grades I've heard. There are multiple parallel projects and the grading is untraceable.
