Reviews of professor Christopher Herring

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He wasn't understanding, even during the pandemic, and didn't seem to care. His syllabus isn't clear on what grade ranges are so you're left to wonder what HE thinks an A or A- should be. If I have to choose between him and another teacher, I'd avoid him. Not worth the stress at all for a 2 credit hour class.

Dr. Herring is a caring professor that WILL help you if you ask for help. The key to this class is to ALWAYS stay on top of whatever he lectured that day. If you do not understand the lecture go to his office hours and learn it. Everything in Circuits builds on previous topics. His tests are INSANE so absolutely study and attempt ALL problems.

The hardest class I took as an engineering student. 3-hour course with 10+ hours spent outside of class, weekends as well. The whole class is one group project and if you don't get a good group you will not do well. Weekly deliverables with vague grading guidelines and getting an A is highly unlikely.

He is a very tough grader, but he gives incredible feedback and is always willing to help in or outside of class. You get the grade that you earn with him but he will do everything in his power to help you earn the grade that you want. He is by far my favorite professor I've had so far.

This was a hard class, if not the hardest class I have taken in college so far. Herring might be a hard teacher/ professor, but nevertheless is a very fair professor in my opinion. He gives you the tools you need to succeed, but makes you work for your grade. Things will seem worse than they are during, but post it seems not that bad.

Circuits was the hardest class I've ever taken but Dr. Herring made it worth while. He gives all the information you need to know in lectures and gives additional practice problems that are very helpful for tests. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he is really nice to talk to. Dr. Herring made the class more enjoyable than I thought it was gonna be
