Reviews of professor Bruce Herring

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Following the switch to Zoom classes due to COVID-19, instead of teaching live lectures, he often posted lectures recorded 5 years ago, the first year the class was offered and the first year he taught it. I am certain five more years of experience teaching the course (which went unused) would have contributed to a much better learning experience.

Bruce is a solid professor. A lot of people don't give him enough credit because the first semester of online was hard and weird for most, but he did a solid job in accommodating students the second semester of online for 407. He's chill, funny, interesting lectures, and I liked his half equally as much as Dion's. Take the course under him, trust.

Bruce was a fair professor. His exams were rather narrowly focused, given the breadth of material, but if you studied, they were do-able. Very LONG, however. Bruce has a laid-back lecture style; he constantly stands like a surfer. He describes things well and doesn't pull tricks on exams, like stuff not on the slides, like Dion. Cool dude!

Handled COVID-19 extremely poorly. Posted lectures from 5 years ago instead of holding class, promised to curve heavily and then did not, refused to discuss grades, and was extremely apathetic toward students struggles. Avoid him. Going online this semester showed his true colors.
