Reviews of professor Robert Hurley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Hurley is awesome! Such a great professor and really cares about his students. Always available if you have questions. Makes class interesting and encourages everyone to engage. Kinda a goofy dude

One of the absolute worst professors you'll ever take. The only assigned reading is his own book. Grades based on incredibly abstract criteria that he obviously makes up as he goes. Not understanding whatsoever with absences or extensions. To put it bluntly, the guy is a complete idiot and if he wasn't tenured he would have been removed long ago.

The worst professor I've had. Grades you based on arbitrary criteria that aren't established at the beginning of class, makes you read his terrible book (with fake five-star Amazon reviews) as the only mandatory reading for the entire semester, then ends the class by making you write a paper about yourself that he'll grade harshly. Don't take.

He is so passionate about neuro! I am currently taking this class and I absolutely love his lectures. He explains things in ways that make it easy to digest. He tells us how the information we are learning is currently used in the field of psychology. He is awesome!! Take this class and you will learn so much!

I have him for an online class and he's great. However, he is very lecture heavy and it can get boring sitting and watching him talk for hours, but you can tell it's just because he's passionate about neuro! His tests are in his own words, so make sure you're prepped for them. However, taking a whole day to watch the lectures is draining.

Participation through passed around paper in class, also gives a lot of hints in class and definitely puts questions on exams you would only know from being in class. No textbook but make sure you know the slides exactly, asks specifics and tricky true or false questions. Great person though and makes fun jokes in lecture!

Professor Hurley overall wasnt a bad professor it it is just a hard class. Is based on 3 tests and two papers so you best make sure you have good study habits. He doesnt make study guides which is kind of annoying, but he curves tests pretty hard which is forgiving. He is very knowledgeable in this course.

Dr. Hurley is a good teacher and knows what he's talking about. However, his notes are very drawn out and hard to follow. The concepts aren't really difficult, he just makes it difficult. It doesn't help that he provides no study guide for his exams. But he curves heavily so it evens out slightly. But he is engaging and the class is interesting.
