Prof. Herst is a very interesting person. He's pretty laid back and understanding. His exams are all multiple choice questions and not hard at all (if you study the necessary materials) Sometimes he speaks too fast but doesn't miss his point. Two thumbs up!

He is an excellent prof. Multiple choice quests just pay attention to him in class and read text book you will get an A. Easy A

Prof Herst will make you feel the subject matter in you bone. Easy 'A' so long as you are attentive in class and read you text book. His grading style too is superb and he is always ready to help. However, never skip a test for a make-up, for you will sure regreat it.

Easy A, Awesome professor, very clear, tests are 25 questions multiple choice!!!!!!! definitly recommend this class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very funny guy,fast at times.u just gotta read your book. His always makes these comments that seem sarcastic but he doesnt intend to be sarcastic.words just come out of his mouth. Intriguing fella.he doesnt laugh or smile.just has this blank face.doesnt show or express emotion like other professors but still remains funny.very interesting fella.

great man!! and professor

good teacher

EXCELLENT TEACHER IN TEACHING. HE GRADES FAIRLY GOOD. WORK HARD AND YOU GET GOOD GRADE. HE IS NOT A TEACHER THAT LOOKS FOR HOW TO CATCH A STUDENT WITH FAILURE. JUST BE PUNCTUAL,STUDY AND DO ALL THE WORK HE ASKED YOU TO DO. STRAIGHT A. BUT HE DOES NOT JOKE WITH STUDENT. HE HARDLY SMILE IN CLASS. HE IS RECOMMENDED.

Nice guy, pretty much just lectures through the material but makes it interesting. You are given several weeks to read the textbook and there's very little homework.

Pros: No hmwrk. Only 4 exams w/25 mult choice q. Up 2 10 xtra cred pts. Attdnce not nec. Curves grades. Cons: No hmwrk so ur grade is based on 4 exms. 25 mult choice quest also means 25-3=B, 25-6=C... and so on. Mayb tempted to skip evrydy. Speaks fast! So type notes if u can. No study guide so u have to study everythng. Otherwise, cool class.

Funny kind of humor, always helps students, just take notes and study them.

Prfoessor Herst is a very knowledgeable professor. He knows his stuff really well. He seems more active and enthusiastic with his students during night.His tests are easy. You will learn MORE though if you read the book. You can get A's on his tests without even going to his class as long as you read the book. HOWEVER, he's hard on research papers.

Really in command of his subject, & I learned a LOT of interesting things. & I find him super cute. His multiple choice tests were easy to me, but not all students found them so easy, & he also required 1 take home essay test which was harder. NOTE - Most people rated him in "Andrew Hurst," which is wrong spelling but check out those ratings also.

Online Class. This Professor needs more reviews made by actual students! Good introductory psychology class, expect lots of reading, quizzes, and at least a term paper in APA format. Online classes require weekly discussions for topics assigned by the instructor.

He speaks the entire time. Taking notes are a MUST! Write down everything he says and STUDY YOUR NOTES. You don't really need the book. Unless you don't understand his lectures and you need the clarification. Tests are not that straight forward but are still pretty simple. He is a pretty fair grader.

if you pay attention, he gives off vivid hints which he eventually tests in exams

very knowledgeable professor with a university-style of teaching. He doesn't waste a minute in class; he keeps talking and talking which is good because that means he prepares for the class. He gives very easy exams. Lastly, he is so hot (reason why I go to class every day though attendance is not mandatory). good class overall + cute professor ;)

I learned so much with Professor Herst! His class was just the right level of challenge for me. He's not super warm and friendly, but if you ask him questions he can really make you understand. And he's funny.

Very little textbook use but at the smae time very knowledgable. Just show to class and listen and an A is yours.BTW - hes about 5-10 minutes late on the reg.

If you listen, he is very informative. Take notes (quickly) from the power point. he likes case studies, Erikson, Piaget (big time). Show interest by asking questions, you will get more information out of him. I liked him, he is not an easy "A" but is really cool on the term paper.

Good prof. Class is not hard if you TAKE NOTES. You can skim or ignore most of the textbook (ask him and he'll tell you if a section is important to read or not), but make sure you get down anything he mentions in lecture. He's as engaged as you are, so if you ask questions, you'll get more out of it.

His last name is actually Herst. Good prof. Class is not hard if you TAKE NOTES. You can skim or ignore most of the textbook (ask him and he'll tell you if a section is important to read or not), but make sure you get down anything he mentions in lecture. He's as engaged as you are, so if you ask questions, you'll get more out of it.

He tends to go through the slides kind of quick, but don't be afraid to ask him to slow down. Ask questions, if you don't he assumes you get it and will move on. Take notes during lecture. The book will help you understand some things a bit better, and help remember things for the test. He is willing to help you if you ask him.

He is one of the most awesome professors this campus has. He is very logical and reasonable, attributes which seem to be lacking at this college. If you want to learn what is important in psych then take him. The tests are not hard, pertain directly to the lecture, and he curves the grades. The paper that he assigned was sort of a pain though.

Prof. Herst, knows his stuff, and he's great at explaining what he knows. Note taking IS mandatory! Exceptional notes will help you breeze through this course like its nothing. If you want an "A" show up for class, review in the book, and take notes.

Prof. Herst is an amazing professor! Taking good notes is important to do well in this course. You don't use the text book in class, but its a good way to clarify things he went over in lecture, while you're home. If you show up to every class & take notes you'll do good.

Very nice professor. Dresses well. He grades on a curve AND gives extra credit. If you don't get an A, it is SIMPLY because you didn't read the chapters and attend lecture. If you do that and barely look at your notes before a test, then it will be easy.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ALWAYS ASK. HE DOES NOT GIVE HOMEWORK WHICH IS GOOD. HE DOEN'T GIVE CLASS WORK WHICH MEAN YOU NEED TO STUDY OTHERWISE YOU WILL FAIL. AND PLEASE STUDY AHEAD OF TIME DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE WEEKEND BEFORE EXAM DAY BECAUSE YOU WILL FAIL!

I loved that he would let the students ask questions all the time. The class was fun and I learned a lot of cool things.

He knew and is very passionate about what he teaches. He goes through PPTs really fast, so I recommend bringing a laptop to class to type down the notes. If he talks for awhile, of course it gets boring, but he does allow class participation which sets off a lot of interesting debates. Just pay attention and take notes and you'll be fine.

Sometimes he talks kinda fast but don't be afraid to ask him to slow down. He really seems to enjoy when students engage themselves and has no problem answering questions if something isn't clear. Read ahead of time so you can ask questions during lecture if you don't understand something and take good notes and you'll be fine.

Fantastic teacher. I never thought I would enjoy listening to a lecture so much. He has a great style of presenting information. It helps to have read the chapter before class (as you should in any class), but is well worth it to really enjoy the lecture. I plan on taking more if his classes!

Prof. Herst is knowledgeable and helpful. If you come to class, take notes, and read the assigned material you will do well. His exams are very fair. I would recommend.

No he doesn't give copies of the power point but some professors don't even have a power point! Herst knows his stuff and is good at explaining it. Not all of the material is super interesting but it's an Intro Psych course which means *gasp* yes, you will cover some bio. Taking notes is a must! This is college after all. Great professor.

I don't understand some of these comments from others. Yes, Prof. Herst uses PowerPoint, and does not give you a copy... but that's an unfair complaint against him since the notes are available via MyMC course page, which are word-for-word, just in Word format. If you need additional help you go to his office hours. He's a prof, not a babysitter.

Professor Herst is awesome and hilarious! His class was easy as long as you use the online sample tests from the book you will pass his tests. He is super nice and helpful and yes I think he's attractive. Plus he told us he's not against marijuana legalization which is awesome!

Best teacher ever. Really understanding, knowledgeable, tests are easy. He really wants you to succeed. He is a really good professor, someone that you would like to have. I have learned a lot from him. He is kind of a quiet person but really funny. Take him if you want to enjoy Psychology.

Really nice guy. Class can be challenging, but that's why the textbook is there to clarify the concepts he teaches. A very agreeable person and is enthusiastic about his lectures. Took it in the winter so it was very fast paced, quizzes everyday and a paper, but LOTS of extra credit available its almost hard to not pass. Great professor overall.

Great professor! If you actually pay attention in class you'll learn a lot and he makes the class interesting and fun. I took this course in the winter, very fast pace and don't recommend it to anyone who has a bad study habit. Take his class in the fall or spring. He offers a lot of extra credit for those who need it.

Such a chill guy. No attendance, online quizzes and tests, very understanding and lenient. Took Psych for distribution so I wasn't paying much in class, yet easily passed with an A. No regrets

He was an overall chill prof. and his class is not hard to pass. As long as you come to class, pay attention, take notes, & read the textbook you should pass with no issues. His quizzes and tests are online and he does not assign homework/classwork. He does go a little fast sometimes during lecture but all his notes are online with study Qs

Started doing better when he gave us a study guide for the test which was halfway through the semester.

Not only was this class so interesting to take, but Professor Herst made it easy and clear to understand! He has a very good way of explaining everything. Quizes were not tough, exams were pretty straight forward from the textbook, so If you want to pass this class read the book and pay lots of attention! Mr. Herst makes that easy!

Professor Herst is extremely knowledgeable&passionate about the subject of psychology. In his lectures he is excellent at clarifying concepts using vivid and interesting examples. Show interest in learning psychology & Herst is more than willing to help. Only con is that he is consistently late.

I would not recommend Prof. Herst. He knows a lot about psychology but that does not make him a good professor. First, this guy is always late to class by a minimum of 5-10 minutes. His lectures are all by ppt and are very boring. During the lectures you don't have time to write everything down. Don't worry about missing class he never takes role.

I really did not want to take PSYC 102 but I needed another social science class. Professor Herst is a good professor. His lectures to me are really helpful but they can be boring. Expect a paper and he will grade the top five quiz scores and the top three tests. Herst gives his students a chance to pass.

I absolutely adored this professor. I took another Py because I liked his style. He knows his material well and works with you. His tests are fair and includes everything you learned, no surprises. Take him you would not regret.

Prof. Herst was awesome!!! He moves fast so be ready to take quick notes. He knows the material and has an obvious passion for the field. The trick to passing his class is read the textbook, review class notes, and study. You will have quizez on a weekly basis and an exam every 2-3 chapters which consists of about 85% of your grade.

I loved his class, it wasn't not easy but worth the hard work.

Professor Herst is a great professor! His lectures are long and can get boring but you do learn a lot. If you ask questions after class, he is willing to speak to you. He is really nice too.

I did not take notes. I just sat and listened to every word he launched out of his mouth and understood it because he explained it very clearly. To prepare for tests, I read the book and the study guides. Tests are easy if you read. Project is confusing but extra credit will save you if you don't do well on it. Good luck!

One of the best professors I had at MC. He talks really fast but somehow how he says are clear. Very nice guy. Take him you won't regret it.

Great prof.! I had him for general psych as well. His class is strongly passed on lecture and reading. You will need the textbook but the textbook can not replace the lecture. Extra credit in every exam. The subject is not easy but he will make it as clear as he can. Lectures are fast paced but he will slow down just tell him. He loves the subj.!

Professor Herst is my favorite professor at Montgomery College, hands down. He is patient, articulate, fascinating, smart and thorough. He will answer any question a student might pose and will explain anything and everything if a student does not understand. I would take Herst for every class.

Human Growth and Development was a very interesting class. Herst is very inclusive and cognizant of other cultures and how they approach and view various stages of life span development. I felt very comfortable asking questions and information covered in class and in the textbook would appear on exams. Usually didn't stray.

Great Professor. Took time to clarify trouble spots during fast paced lectures. Does not like Freud that much. Answered all of my dumb questions without sarcasm, he didn't show it anyway :) He asks the question "Does that make sense?" no less than 20 times a class so you have no excuses for not speaking up! I got an A+ woot

Knows exactly what he's doing, he lectures for the whole class but hey that's Psycology for you. He is very straight forward and answers questions throughly. Test & quizzes are east as long as you pay attention. Also is hot so makes it even more interesting:)

great teacher simple you wont regret it

I took the class in spring 2016, and it was really amazing. He has an impressive knowledge of the subject matter. I really recommend his class.

The lectures were really interesting and you get the chance to ask whatever question you have

WINTER TERM: Pro. Herst is a great teacher. However, if you the HYBRID course make sure you stay on top of your assignments. Even if you finished a chapter continue on or else you will struggle. Take detailed notes on side notes, names, and diagrams on every chapters AND read the course content notes (THEY WILL BE ON QUIZZES and EXAMES).

I can't say he was a bad professor because it could have been a lot worse. He is just kind of boring. But as long as you read the book and take notes during the lecture you will pass his class. It was an easy A if you ask me.

He was really open and honest with his students. He wouldn't move on in the lesson unless he knew everyone understood. He didn't care too much for attendance, he preferred that we do more individual work. If individual work doesn't for you, then you can always reach him outside of class.

Best professor. Easy A. Great notes. He knows what he's talking about.

He's a great Professor! I recommend if you are taking this class online he is super easy and lays out what's due at the beginning. He is also understanding that things come up and offers extra credit on exams which I loved.

Professor Herst is a laid back and great professor. It is easy to get an A in this class, as long as you take notes and read the textbook. He provides opportunities for extra credit during the exams. Overall he's a great professor and the class was easy and enjoyable.

Great professor. Definitely take his class if you want an A.

Chill and laid back.

Cool professor and good class for easy A.

While Professor Herst is a slow grader the online class is straight forward. Read textbook, take notes, discussion post, take quiz/test. If you are good at time-management I HIGHLY recommend this class.

Professor is really chill and caring, but for some reason today was not his best day. When I attended class on time, he talked about our assignment paper, and then imediately left the class without notice. He was the only one who left the class, while we were still in our chairs looking confused. This act was extremely unprofessional!

Laid back but also quick paced during the in-person lectures. Everything else he assigned was online

I took his blended class which is online and in class. I really liked him as a teacher; just make sure you do your work and not get behind whats due. Helps out with papers but hes slow with responding to emails but will help you if you ask him

Very nice and through, interested in what is being taught and explains things well!
