There is 4 essays for the semester. The readings are all very interesting and the topics for the essays are pretty simple, but they make you think. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and hope to take another class taught by him.
His class makes you think. I really enjoyed this English class, it doesn't feel like work. It makes you think about the world you live in and yourself. For a five-week course, the work was not overwhelming. I loved the teaching style and the books we had to read. I would highly recommend taking this course.
I want to start by saying that this professor is extremly generous and understanding. Not only that but his class is actually interesting, in the beginning I was aprehensive on the class in general, but it turned out to be awesome and I'm glad I took it! Definitely would recommend.
Dr. Henrnsberger is an amazing professor. He's an easy grader and as long as you do the work you will pass with no less than a B. I took summer mini section which consist of two papers, one long essay and one short essay. the books he chose for reading material were interesting and entertaining. I definitely recommend this professor.
He gives us feedback on each paper. I took a summer class online and this class was not hard as long as you keep writing your opinions. Dr. Henrnsberger is really passionate about this class. This class is really fun! No pressure to take his class. I highly recommend him!
I took online class in summer had great experience although it was my first course. amazing professor!
Makes you think about things differently
Amazing professor! Very caring! Has grades in really quick! Short and sweet feedback! High recommend this professor! I had surgery and asked if i could submit papers a little later and he tootally worked with me and helped me out and for that im forever grateful.
I recommend him because he allows Yu to be inique. No specifics on the style younutikize, just ensure you follow prompts! Do not miss any assignments as it will hurt you if taking a summer class! I missed the first assignment but receive 90+ on my other 3 papers and still received a D. Make sure you are self motivated if taking online . I recommen
i took Dr. Hernsberger class summer 2018 and i loved it , hes an awesome professor takes his time so that you can understand things , grading is easy its all based on how well you use your creativity . i would definitely recommend him to others .
Great professor that isnt full of himself like others. Makes every assignment interesting and thought worthy without somehow making it about his career. Gives clear and concise assignments that are easy to make an A on if you read the material. I would definitely take for 1302.
He is an excellent Professor who is always there anytime. His response to email is amazing and always wants the best for his student.
Best professor! You will not regret it!
I just finished this course in this Summer of 2018. This Professor is amazing, caring and loving. He is an understanding teacher who wants success for all this students. You must do your assignments though and make it your best. Overall he is an excellent Professor.
He is special which different with the former English I took. I think this class opened my mind a lot.
Great professor! Follow his requirements and you will do fine.
truly one of the best professor at hcc. he is so caring and free spirited. i went into this class thinking it was a typical english class but its way more than that, hes outside the box and different. you will never be bored in his class. i highly recommend you take him. you wont regret it.
Dr. Hernsberger is nothing short of AMAZING! I've never felt more free to write as fluid and candidly as I did when taking his online class. Our assignments really made us think and put things into perspective as it pertains to real life. There were 4-5 papers due throughout the course. It is tough in the beginning, but it gets better.
Took it online, very easy class to get an A in. Only 5 reading and writing assignments total. Only negative is you don't get any feedback on why he marked your paper down from a 100. Though I never once emailed him asking for the reasoning so...
He is great professor. The best way of teaching. easy A just think and be smart.
Dr. B was a fantastic professor. Not only did he provide clear instructions, he graded fairly, gave excellent and inspirational feedback, was excited about the material, and was accessible, which can be difficult to find in an online class. Thank you, Dr. B!!!
Professor Brandon Hernsberger is exactly the sort of teacher you want to be lucky enough to take. His assignments seem easy on the surface, but if you take them deeper and more seriously, you can challenge yourself and grow as a thinker. What better thing could you want from a college professor?
online class was great. The reading was fun. The papers allow you to think outside the box. He is grading is very fair. You must read to pass. I would take his class again.
If you are taking this professor online because you cannot stand going to class for English he is the one. He is a good and fair teacher. Send the assignments early so you have sometimes to read the text then send the task with more time to write the actual essay fair and easy to follow do no think twice take him
Professor Brandon is one of the most nicest professor I have come across at Houston community college. I took him first time for ENGL 2327 online class. The best desicion I ever made. He is nice, straight forward. Responds to email promptly. Doesnt get bother at all. He teaches ENGL really well. Clear grading criteria. Would highly recommend him.
A great professor thats give good reading assignments that are from a very good author. The essay prompts are easy to understand and to comprehend. I would recommend anyone to take this class.
This was one of the best English literature courses that Ive ever taken. The workload was not bad at all, and the readings were interesting. Just read and complete your assignments in a timely manner and youre golden. I highly recommend taking ENGL literature with professor Hernsberger! Hes a fair grader, and a respected man overall.
By far one of my favorite professors! He gives VERY interesting and fun prompts that really make you think! He responds to his emails and he grades fair. I honestly would recommend him if you want to enjoy english.
I took the online version of this class. I'm writing this as I'm nearing the end of this course. I'm left with a postive experience. He's understandable I submitted the wrong version of my assignment onto to turnitin and he allowed me to email the proper assignment and grade me based off of that. Like creative writing? You'll like this class
Professor Hernsberger is one of the best professors Ive had. He wants his student to think outside the box. He is always willing to assist you in any area. He is the true definition of a real professor who wants to see his students successful in not only English, but all of their other courses. Take him; his the best!
Mr hernsberger is a good teacher to take online. He gives nice and accurate feedbacks , the lectures were amazing and clear and very easy for me too do. Hes very understanding and respectful towards his students that really wants to pass the class. There is extra credit given and time in between assignments to get other class assignments done!!!!
Professor Hernsberger is one of the most caring and interesting professors out there! The readings and writing prompts are out of the ordinary and get you thinking. The class opened up my mind, especially regarding pop culture in the US. He is a fair grader and gives meaningful feedback. HIGHLY recommend!!
Very caring professor who is very clear when it comes to presenting a new assingment in the portal. He chose a very interesting textbook for us to work off of on our essays. You'll have three important essays to turn in for class and the fourth one will be your final. I would definitely take this class again. :)
Hernsberger is a very understanding professor and communicates well with his students. He pushes you to be creative and explore your writing abilities. The course readings are current, interesting, and easy reads. He responds to emails in a timely manner and gives great feedback on assignments. Easily one of my favorite courses this year!
Took him online for Fall 2018 semester. The class is overall easy but you will have to earn your grade. He gives good feedback and will help you if ask him. Also, he responds quickly to your emails, so you won't be in dark. 5 readings and 4 essays and 1 story. The topics are very interesting and you will enjoy writing on them - I did, I promise.
Took him online and it was a breeze. He always responds to emails. He isnt a tough grader. His prompts expectations are always clear. As long as you do the work and follow the instructions then you will do great in this class. He also doesnt give boring assignments, so that is a plus. I would definitely take his class again, everyone would.
Enjoyed taking his course online! Only homework assignments were essays. They were very fun to write, he isn't your typical English professor, trust me take his class you will enjoy it as much as I did! I have no complains about this professor take him you will most definitely pass.
This man is probably the best English professor I've ever had. The reading material he gives us to work on are Chuck Klosterman books (entertaining). All you would be doing is writing short & long essays over prompts that are actually interesting & relate to you & today's society. I was too late to pick him for ENGL1302. Biggest mistake of my life
The professor is good , I will take his class again next semester.
I was so happy with Dr, Hernsberger. He is amazing. I will take English 1302 again with him next semester.
I had the opportunity to take this class online and honestly didn't know what to expect. Dr. Hernsberger made writing fun for me. He assigns reading material and gives enough time before assigning you an essay. The best part of all is that he gives you feedback and grades everything in a timely manner. If you are considering him just do it!sign up!
He is a great professor and also very understanding and understandable. As long as you keep up with the readings (which hell give you ample time to read before starting an essay) and write thoughtfully you should do well. Also, youll always get great feedback on your essays!
He has a good way of teaching
I have taken this professor for ENGL 1301 and 1302 and he is beyond amazing. He lets your imagination go wild and makes you a better writer than just depending on books. Hands down he is an amazing professor and if you want to learn more about writing and reading I suggest take him.
Would 100% take again. I would recommend him to any student whos looking to learn and have fun at the same time.
Professor Hernsberger is an amazing professor. He gives encouraging feedback and responds fast to emails. I couldn't submit my second writing assignment due to technical issues. he gave an opportunity to submit via mail. He made me realize that I can actually write well. I would definitely take him again. Great professor!

The readings were very interesting to read. He gave you great notes on how he felt on your paper and honestly he would grade very fair. Wish I would of taken him from my other english classes. If you have the chance to take him you should because you wont regret it!
Taking Professor Brandon Hernsberger online class is very helpful for me. He is the best English Professor in HCC, He gave very thorough feedback on the essays and graded them really fast. His reading and assignments are interesting, he would be very specific in showing what you need to write in the essay.
This is my second time I take professor Brandon Hernsberger. He's the best English professor I have ever had. He gives you some books to read, then your essays will base on those books. Take him, easy A!
He is the best.
He is one of the best Professor I have ever taken. He allows you to be very creative on assignments which is my style of writing. The selection of books he ask you to reading is not boring at all. I loved every one of them. I will take again if I see any English class opened. I had him also over the summer with two of his classes.
Dr. Hernsberger is a great professor. Loved his class. Just follow his reading assignments and it will be an easy semester. He lets you be free and creative with your papers! He also, gives you honest and positive feedback.
Good, but not great.
His class is strictly just essays, at least my class was. We only had 5 essays, including the final so make sure you turn everything in. There was a lot of reading to do but the essays were interesting so it wasn't so bad. Just make sure you respond every single question he asks and you'll make a good grade. Altogether, he's a great professor.
If you struggle/dislike English then this is your guy! He teaches in a more modern approach & in my opinion it helps relate better to the students. This is actually my second time to take 1301 & I thoroughly enjoyed it unlike the last time. He is very quick with response time & grades assignments in a timely manor. Sad I didnt get into 1302. :(
This is legit been one of the best English classes I ever took. Mr. Hernsberger is a very great professor, he gives you feedback always to know what you can improve on your essays next time. The essays he provides you to write, its honestly open minde, very interesting creative topics.
Let me put it this way his next classes are all full. I will be waiting to take him again in the Fall of 2019. I wish there was a wait list to enroll to be ensured a spot!!!!!!!
Professor Hernsberger is very knowledgeable, the reading assignments are very useful information and relative to today. I enjoyed every single reading he assigned and really help me think outside the box. I really enjoyed his class! Keeping the book to read more about transcendenalist!
This was an amazing class and i dont take many online classes due to difficulties but Im so glad i took this class on like and with professor Hernsberger. Work is super super easy, just read the book and complete papers on time any youll pass
Dr. Hernsberger 's writing questions make you aware of things people usually are oblivious to. He let his students be creative and freely express their opinions. No redundant group project or quizzes, just think hard about his topic and turn in your paper. He also answers emails fast and gives good feedback. Definitely recommended!
Dr. Hernsbergers ENGL2327 class was not a difficult A to earn. That being said, this class is graded upon many essays throughout the semester. You must read sections of the book Dr. H assigns. He will assign a ready one week and the next week you will be assigned the essay topic. He gives a lot of freedom on how you write your essays.
I loved this class! Is not a boring class at all, you dont have to take any test. Is nothing but writing papers the whole semester (which are super easy if you read the books) plus he gives you a lot of time to complete the essays! Theyre actually interesting to do because it makes you think and theyre not actually boring. I recommend him!
Professor Brandon Hernsberger , is an amazing teacher. I enjoyed writting every essay he assigned and the book he assigned to read was really interesting. He gives clear instructions on his assigments and He provides good feedback. There are 5 essays and one of them is the final and there is no textbook.
Awesome professor and always give feedback on every essay.
Very good instructor, and makes writing interesting!
I have highly enjoyed my experience with Professir B. The topic of the class was truly interesting, but when writing it is always great to get good feedback on your work. I have to be honest, I love to write so this class was exciting for me. I assume that even for those who dont enjoy writing, it does allow you to work at your own pace.
Best professor I had so far. Professor Hernsberger is an amazing professor. He gives encouraging feedback and responds fast to emails. Would 100% recommend him. I would recommend him to any student whos looking to learn and have fun at the same. he was the nicest professor I ever had the best.
Dr. Hernsberger is such a great professor. His class is super fun, straight to the point, and unique. With him, there is always room for students to think outside the box and I truly appreciate that. Take this professor and watch writing become one of your favorite things to do.
He is straightforward with his instructions. As long as you follow the directions and put thought into your work, his class will be really easy. I doubted myself a lot at the beginning of the semester, but time and time again my graded assignments proved me wrong. I took the class online which also gave me a chance to take the class in comfort.
Mr. B Did a wonderful job, give much needed time for assignments , gives great feed back on assignments. Learned lot just reading, reading thing I never read before. Over all awesome professor
Professor Hernsberger's class is awesome! If you need an English credit and you see the opportunity to take his class, don't hesitate for a second. I was introduced to a new author and I absolutely love him. The prompts aren't the boring type that you're used to. Every topic causes you stop and think. I'll definitely take his class again!
Best English professor, Hernsberger's class is the easiest, 3 crazy novels, 4 essays with interesting topics, encouraging feedback. You don't want to miss his class. i highly recommend
It is my best luck to be in professor Hernsberger's class in the semester. And to be honest, he is different from other ENGL professors, he helped me open my minds and my writing skill. What's more, his reading assignments actually are watching TV drama, now I am a fan of breaking bad. If you want an A in ENGL, do not be hesitate to take his class!
Very good professor, made English interesting by writing our own ideas, and gives great feedback.
Dr. Hernsberger is the best professor ever! It's obvious that he cares about the students. I enjoyed his class and the books I had to read! His assignments made me interested in creative writing. His requirements are clear, and you can get an A as long as you follow his directions. Take him, and you will improve your writing ability and confidence.
I enjoyed taking this class, no stress!!!!!!!

Professor Hernsberger is the BEST. English has never been my fav subject but he makes it so interesting. We had a book and read assigned essays throughout the semester. We had to write 5 papers which were pretty straightforward. He gives you great feedback and enough time to complete the assignments. Overall a very smooth class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Dr. Hernsberger is an amazing teacher! Took ENGL 2327 online and the class was a breeze. If you log in everyday to check assignments and announcements you can't go wrong. Work load was smooth and his topics are very clear and give you enough time to complete your work with great feedback.
Definitely, recommend taking this professor. He gives great feedback and responds to your emails very quickly. He is very understanding of any sensible problem you might have and will help you with understanding the essay prompts. Probably the best English teacher I ever had. Easy grader if you put in the work.
Professor Hernsberger is truly an amazing professor. I had an accident earlier in the semester and asked for a second chance, He had allowed me to turn it in and gave me hope and another chance to pass his class. I also really love that novels that he assigns because they really do make you think about how society through multiple perspectives.
Thanks to Dr. Herbsberger. He is really understanding and patient professor. I took his class online and sent him an email whenever I had a question. He responded to my emails fast and made sure to clarify any questions I asked. Also, he graded my papers fairly and gave me useful comments. I really appreciate it.
I took Dr. Hernsberger for Engl 1302 & Engl 2327 and i will take him again if need be. Course work is very inspirational and you can never go wrong with your imaginations. And the best part is he gives you enough time to turn in writing assignments. He gives good feedback so you know when you are doing good and when there's need for improvement.
Dr. Brandon Hernsberger is a unique professor. Unlike most professors, he does not have a very narrow and restricted requirements to be fulfilled. Instead, he gives you opportunity to be creative and write your mind. Besides, he helps you when you make innocent mistakes and understands your situation. I like him.
Best English prof. in HCC. Encourages you to use your imagination. Gives enough time to turn in assignments. And gives good feedback to encourage you and lets you know when there is need for improvement. Will definitely take him again.
best english professor i ever taken. honestly at first you won't understand how he teaches but trust me you will , he lets you uses his imagination that you won't even know you have, his understanding, patience and super funny (sometimes).his also big on speaking or believe on what you believe. speak your mind. highly recommend him.
Professor Hernsberger is a very caring person. He is very detail on all of his assignments.
This is my favorite teacher I took him for English 1301 a A Americans literature B and bout to end this semester with a A? To bad Im bout to graduate this summer coz I would of took him again? He cares about his students, reply back fast he care about his students and if you dont pass its because you was to lazy to do 5 essays Ill miss him
I HATED early American literature before taking this class. Dr. B gave me new respect for Thoreau (but I still hate Emerson lol), and I'm sure anyone would enjoy this class! His essay prompts leave room for creativity, and his feedback is really sweet, but I wish he had been more specific. I also wish I had taken this as an in-person lecture!
Great professor! And straightforward with instructions
Hes amazing. Funny, will actually listen to what you have to say. He will give options, if you have problems he would help you.
(Online Course) AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! Definitely prepare to read, as all essays are based on assigned readings. His prompts are fairly easy and DO require some critical thinking. His instructions are straightforward and he gives great feedback. He replies pretty fast and genuinely cares for his students. MUST TAKE!! You will not regret it!!
Loved him, coolest guy, he actually made me want to go to class!
He is the best professor that I have ever had. His class is amazing and interesting.
Best professor. ��
He's a breath of fresh air. He's modern. The way he teach, makes you want to want to learn. He gives great feedback on every essay. He is far from boring unlike many other professors. He came highly recommend and I'm glad I enrolled in time. I highly recommend him! He is a great professor and offers great reading material for is essays.
Hes very helpful and makes learning fun. Also opens your mind and makes you put things in different perspectives
The best professor at HCC! He makes every class interesting. A few papers through the semester. & a fun, creative, unique group assignment towards the end of the semester. Pretty awesome!
If this professor is available, hurry and sign up for the class. He gives ample time to get the work completed, so it's easy to have a couple other classes too. I enjoy writing, but I didn't put nearly the amount it effort into the papers like I could have and I still made an A. Topics are interesting and allows you to use your imagination.
He will request a few books for you to read to write essays. You can buy old books to save money. There are totally 5 essays in this course. However, besides reading, you need to think deeply about the problem he asked you.
The absolute best English Prof you can have. Good communication, structured course, grades and gives feedback in a timely manner. Assignments and Tests are require thinking but are not difficult. Gives 3 Assignments and 1 Final - all are papers . Stay engaged, do the work on time following instructions and you will get an A.
I love Professor Hernsberger! He is the best professor that I've ever had. His class is not your typical English class. He has you read interesting books and makes you think. I loved the reading and the writing assignments! I would recommend him to any and everyone!!! Thanks Prof. Hernsberger for thinking outside of the box and opening my mind!
LOVED taking his class! Very informative. Straight to the point. Easy grading but do have to read a lot. Easily accessible via email. Not a lot of homework but you will be reading. Very clear and direct syllabus. I would definitely recommend and retake his class.
He enjoys challenging you in ways that English professors do not. He is a defined unique individual that you can carry on an intelligent conversation with. He is knowledgeable and very easily accessible. By far my favorite professor thus far.
Darn good professor. Took this summer 5 week class. Just write about what he asks you. The more detail the better. Didnt give any feedback since the class was soo short. TAKE THIS CLASS!!! I was soo stressed about signing up and taking an english class. I worried for nothing. Easy grader just put in the time and effort. Enjoyed this class.
I really like my professor, because the way he taught us and he used the best methods to make us understand the subjects.
He is the nice professor I had in hcc and his teaching style is awesome. He paper was nice and we think we think a lot while writing paper but he gave the clear idea to write paper and he discussed each and every paper in class and make clear for the students.
One of the best professors at HCC. He does care about student and very respectful towards everyones opinion. You need to show up and keep up with assignments. Easy Class.
Love this professor, he make you think in a different way and also allow you to think differently from his onw thought, cool essays and cool prompts, I definitely recommend this professor
Had never taken a summer class Dr B made it sooooo worth it! Great class, amazing professor! Different from all kinds of Professors I have ever had. Makes you want to go to class so you dont miss out!
This class is a must.
You gain extra knowledge about real life events ,people, etc that you thought you knew enough of. Great class and Professor. Would definitely refer anyone to him. Thanks for the fun summer class.
An amazing professor! I will truly miss having him, I had so much fun doing his assignments. If you come across his class, please take it! He gives positive feedback that provides motivation to do even better on your next assignments. He provides prompts on topics that matter. He is the best!
Awesome professor, he wants you to think and learn his material. He does this by interacting with you and if you try your best that's all he wants. he wants you to think for yourself and open your mind.
He is the best teacher I ever had. He teaches by the way difference to another teacher I have before which is more flexible and modern. In my class is just 1 presentation, 1 essay about the movie and 1 final essay 10 pages about the influence people. Easy to get an A in his class.
This is my third semester here and Ive had good professors but he is truly the best professor I have ever had!!! He is very caring and understanding. If he sees you trying, he is going to be there for you. He has good conversations, he is Inspirational, and he is a true character. I truly enjoyed showing up to class. Pick him, you wont regret it!
I loved This class he made me face my fears of a lot of things. He is a very great professor and I loved the readings that I had for this class. I would take him again if I needed to. Remember everything from your point of view. Attend class and read always ask questions if you dont understand and you will be fine����.Omg I will miss this class
Professor is the best and is pretty much an easy A as long as you participate in class. You also must be able to type a good amount of papers. Other then that the conversations in class are good and engaging. It is an easy A
If you seen this professor is out for your choice, don't even think.... DO NOT EVEN THINK!!!!!!! PICK HIM!!!!! There is noting to worry about anything about, trust him. He Is the BEST Professor out there. PICK HIM do your self a favor, not kidding.
Took him for online classes. Easy A! Wish he did other classes as well. Understanding and awesome professor! :)
GREAT TEACHER AND EASY A. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT HE DOES NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND IS NO HELP WHEN YOU ASK A QUESTION ABOUT AN ASSIGNMENT.
He is an awesome professor!
Undoubtedly the best teacher Ive had. This is a class Ill remember forever.
EASY A!!! Three books are required but you don't need them. Total of 4 writing assignments + reading assignments. My only regret was not taking him for ENGL1301.
I really wish that I had taken him for English 1301. He is AMAZING! His essays are super fun to do. And you are given very interesting material to read and contemplate. If I see his name on any future English classes I need, I will pick him in a heartbeat! Get in on this class if you see space available. It filled up within hours of opening.
This was not what I was expecting from a level 2 English class. The material is relevant, based on pop-culture and you are challenged to think about the topic. I feel like he actual grades a little on the easy side, as in, you will get the benefit of the doubt if you put in effort. It wasn't an easy class - the papers are kind of hard.
I decided to take this professor, just because he was ranked highest on ratemyprofessor at HCC ... I along with many others got to experience a very interesting lecture with an incredible professor. I enjoyed his assignments because they are so creative and less rigid.
Wish we were able to finish the fall semester with him. HCC switched our professor mid semester . Avoid teacher Brown
Prof B was an amazing professor, easily the best teacher I have had in my entire life. He is kind and understanding and will find something that you are interested in and let you study it and write about it. Take him! I have heard his classes fill up quickly so you'll have to sign up early. Great!
Great teacher, to say the least. He makes sure the students understand what he's trying to teach. He paces his lectures with the feedback of his class which makes it convenient for students who have questions. The good thing that he is very connected with the students and replied to all my messages when I reached out through email/text.
I would take his class again . Hes an amazing professor the books he recommended us to read is outstanding because when enter we talk about the book and writes a mini essay . I would recommend him to anybody who havent taken him yet
Dr B is definitely an interesting character! Be ready to push your boundaries and really think and talk about controversial issues. Assignments are easy enough, just go to class and turn in the papers and youre all set.
The entire reason why I picked him was because of his high rating. The students werent lying. Dr. B is a great educator. There was never a dull moment. Hes engaged and listens. We were able to talk about even the most controversial topics which is always a great thing. If youre looking for you non-traditional English Proff, look no further!
Would definitely take his class again, always was excited for the next lecture and book to read. You wont regret it.
Prof Brandon is so good, call him when you don't understand and he will reply make you comfortable, easy going man. Take him and you will not regret.
Definitely recommend everyone who needs to take this class, to take it with Doc. B! A great teacher who truly cares about his students. Assignments are based off of the books he asks us to read, so it's an easy A!!
I would definitely take his class again . Hes a great professor. The class discussions were great! . I would recommend him to anybody who hasnt taken him yet.
Great class ! Professor is supper flexible as long as you keep communication !
I loved having Doc B, he actually made it fun to come to class. Hes super chill and funny. I would totally take his class again! I hope the rest of my professors are as nice as him!
He is an awesome professor. I would highly recommend him. Great teaching, and always reply to your texts or emails.
I love the way he teach. We can freely express our thoughts and insights in every writing we do. Most of the assignments we did were all base on social medias that relates to our personal life and that makes the writing interesting. We normally read 3 to 4 chapters and then the next day we talk about it in the class. Then we do writing 2 to 3 pages
In my opinion, Dr. Hernsberger is an awesome professor. He believes that we are all writers and assigns work to help you find your own writing style. I read three books, wrote two short, and one long essay. I admire that "Dr. B" is down to earth, caring, discusses modern day topics, and is highly respected. I'd definitely take his class again:)
Best teacher.
Dr. Hernsberger is a great professor his lectures and classes are easy but you do have to participate and do your homework/assignments. 100% recommended
SUCH A GREAT PROFESSOR VERY ENJOYABLE CLASS. VERY CAREFREE GIVES PAPERS THAT RELATE TO REAL LIFE. VERY HEPFUL IN UNDERSTANDING A GREAT PERSON OVERALL
Dr. B is hands down one of the best professors Ive encountered at Houston Community College. He loves to read and has inspired me to do the same. He treats you like a friend and respects your beliefs. He assigns us papers and gives us certain requirements we must meet, but he also gives you the freedom to write what you want. Take him!
The students controlled this class. One 3-5 pg paper, one 10 pg paper, final was a 30 minute play with group of students. Gave his cell # out. You dont get a single grade back ever and never got a syllabus. We are still waiting on our grades to be put in so I dont know what I got in the class. Id take him again because he was easy.
AMAZING professor. Take no one else. Best class youll ever take.
First day of class today. Best one ever.
Best class ever!!
Never had a teacher who is as caring and as excitable as Dr B. Take!
Love this class so much!
The best professor at HCC, best professor of English I have ever taken. Take!!
I love this class. Dr. Brandon is a huge help in everything and lets his students be themselves and be creative at all costs. Great class.
Best class ever no doubt!!
Dr. Hernsberger! This is one of the most chill and coolest professors I've had in my 2.5 years at HCC. He is kind, helpful and very well educated. We don't have a textbook but we are asked to read a few books so be ready for that. The format of the class was much different than I expected. He loves what he does!
Best at HCC. No doubt.
You must take Doc B!!! Hes the best!!!
Love this class!
Awesome teacher, hope I have more like him in the future. The GOAT!
Loved this class so much!
My all time favorite class!
No one is better!
Professor Hernsberger is an amazing teacher. As long as you do your work you and participate in lectures you should pass. Love his lectures. Very understanding and he has patience.
Super chill and funny All you have to do is to show up and is a easy grade Most of the things that we do are just free writing and just be yourself

I miss Doc B so much. Hope to take him again soon
Never had a prof that was so accommodating and kind. Taking again!
Hes the best! Best prof I ever took.
The books he gave us were all by the same author. They made little sense and were all the same thing with different covers. Odd taste in books.
doc b was a nice guy, but certainly not a good teacher. He failed to set up his canvas, so we didn't know our grades for any of the assignments we did, which was upsetting because they were not easy. Mid semester, he randomly left our class, and we had gotten a new professor, and our grades did not transfer since he did not put them on canvas.
No one is ever as good! You will not regret taking him!!
He is the greatest!
Take him! Im taking again in the spring!
Love!
TAKE. !!
If you can doc b you should right away! Love him and the class!
He is so great

Really good and fun class
Give doc b a try! Hes so funny!
The best professor I have ever had!
Mainly you read books that he chooses or as a class can choose, or other various topics such as films. Then write papers on them, but he does not care about how you write, creativity is all that matters. It is honestly one of the most chaotically fun English classes I have taken. If you are looking for structure this may not be the class for you.
Best prof I have e ver had I miss Doc B!!
Doctor B has made me think about becoming a English major lol.
Best in the business!
So good and interesting
Doc b makes English fun lol

You can never go wrong with doc b. So understanding and nice and funny. Recommend!
Best I’ve had as a teacher. Take him!
THIS PROFESSOR WAS A FEVER DREAM. LITERALLY I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON MOST OF THE TIME. HE WOULD ASSIGN RANDOM BS ESSAYS AND HE DID NOT HAVE CANVAS SET UP OR HAD ANY GRADES IN CANVAS. PLUS HE GOT SWITCHED OUT FOR ANOTHER PROFESSOR. LITERALLY DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. DONT TAKE UNLESS YOU DONT WANT TO LEARN ANYTHING.
I miss Doc b so much.
I would highly recommend you this professor for English courses at HCC. Take him if you're going to take college-level English here. You won't regret it. He is well-respected and among being tireless. You would come up with getting an A or B in his class if you do his assignments well, particularly essays and a group project as well.
super chill dude. only a couple of papers and he grades easy.
He is the best professor anyone can wish for. I love his lectures and he is super nice. if I could give him 10 stars out of 5, I definitely would
The only reason I'm giving Easy for this class was because he never showed up, & barely assigned us anything. I took this class in 2021 and he left midway through the semester. Had us buy a book we never went over, and had us do a potluck for the class that he did not even show up to and cancelled the class. We did nothing and he always cancelled.
Not bad, but could be better. The class is pretty straightforward, just stay on top of the work and you'll be good.
This prof is hit or miss - some days are awesome, others are a bust. Definitely worth trying unstuckstudy AI and the free textbook for study help. Attendance is mandatory, so stay engaged.
