Mr. Hill is a great professor. class isn't hard as long as u show up & answer a question or 2. He focuses alot on the text, yet he explains everything very clearly so that makes it easy. only 3 papers where 2 are only like 2 pages long doubled space. a few pop quizzes but if u read the follow up questions its cake. only 2 exams and he's hilarious

It is a rarity to encounter Philosophy professors who are both unpretentious and extraordinarily clear. Prof. Hill was both.

Insanely strict about tardies and attendances. If your IQ is average to below average, this is the class for you. You might even be tricked into thinking his banal pop-philosophy lessons are deep thinking. If you are intelligent, you will hate every second of your mandatory presence in the class. Hypocritical, nitpicky, and secretly arrogant.

Prof. Hill is a tad self-righteous. Additionally, do not expect a good grade if he disagrees with your point of view or finds your personality unappealing. Going into his final, I had an A/B for the course and by the end of the final I somehow had a C (even though I used Phil material/theories from both inside the class as well as other courses).

Prof. Hill takes his time with the material, and there are no surprises on his tests, but this isn't your high school math class. Participation isn't a requirement. He teaches "bell-to-bell", a little old-fashioned. You will need to buy your homework access code, but don't bother getting the textbook for this course. Do all the homework, period.

Professor Hill is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. He explains every unit very clearly and is always open if you have a question. His office hours are great and he is very good with communication. He responds to emails quickly. He is also very caring for his students. He would make sure to reach out if you've missed a few classes.

The course was very very easy. He's fine, nothing special but he likes to explain everything in a stupid way other than just doing the math. He is also insistent on memorizing definitions for tests, and if you don't get them exactly right he takes points off.

He gives 3 huge tests, one of them being final. Lowest test grade is only 10% while others are weighted higher. Long, extensive homework in his class but it is helpful for concepts. Tests have a ton of extra credit and are overall pretty simple. Great teacher who cares about his students and using math in the real world.

Professor Hill, although not the best professor I've ever had, is not bad. If you are good at math then taking him for Calc is a good idea. If you are not good at Math, I would not take him because he can sometimes be hard to follow. His office hours were unfortunately of very little help as well, and I had to teach myself in order to pass.

Professor Hill was fantastic, and I mean that as someone who SUCKS at math. Very caring, I had a concussion midway through the semester and he was very proactive about helping me find times to reschedule to make up an exam. He gives homework every night, but honestly it helps bring your grade up. He's a quirky dude but he tries to connect with us.

The class is really only graded through homework and tests, but you have 3 attempts for each homework problem, and there's always 5-10% of extra credit on tests. He's super understanding and really easy to reach when needed.
