Reviews of professor Harvey Hyman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Hyman is a great mentor. His class was designed in a way that helped me picked up various hands on experience with SQL. He was clear in communicating the requirements and what he wanted from the students - effort.

As long as you show him you care about your work, he will do the same

Hands down the WORST professor I've ever had in my college career. Why does USF even keep him around? If he hates working with students so much, perhaps he should go into a different profession. Assignments are due either every 2days, or every day. They will take you HOURS to days to complete since he is unclear in his instructions. JUST DONT....

This guy is brutal. I took him for ISM4212 and his class is hands down one of the most rigorous classes for no reason. He gives you 3 IMPOSSIBLE assignments EVERY week (Fri,Sat,Sun), so have fun grinding all weekend. Sometimes he gave an assignment that takes hours on Friday and then a 38 question WRITTEN exam due that same Sunday (2 days after).

Bad reviews for this professor are completely off . Professor Hyman is a great professor . People don't like him because of he's blunt but he's just a realistic person. If you put in the work and show that you care he helps you out . Extends deadlines if needed because he wants you to understand the material. People choose to fail this class

Professor Hyman is the worst professor I have taken at USF. He knows SQL but everything else is awful. He does not grade you on a rubric, the assignments are back to back to back, he is condescending with his responses and will grade your assignments with zero feedback. On top of this, he will change your grade out of the blue and lower it.

No late policy = me falling 1 month behind and struggling to catch up. I had no SQL knowledge. The exam was graded for accuracy and I did horrible but did decent on everything else. You will build multiple databases so manage them and don't fall behind. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Use the internet ai for help with writing code if you are lost.

The only professor with my 4 years here that I've had problems with. You can do all the requirements and still get a B. He has a massive ego, is rude, refuses to teach, and doesn't care about the students. Everything is the student's fault. I like SQL but he makes it miserable. Will blatantly tell students to drop out if they ask a single question.

This class is full of concepts so easy a monkey could do them this professor makes things ridiculously hard for no reason. He clearly shows his low self-confidence and carries an attitude of somber hatred into the classroom. He retaliates with anger when you ask questions, he does not listen to feedback, and he lacks any redeeming qualities.
