Takes quiz every class begining, questions will be anywhere from the book, taught or not, so you are clueless whole semester coz hw are also hard. Had 7 subjects in the semester when I had this subject, hardly studied 10 hrs for rest of the 6, had to give almost 20 hrs for this subject alone weekly. 3 exams, all comprehensive anywhere from book.

A quiz will be taken in every class beginning from the topic not covered in the class. He treats as if everyone in the class are Ph.D. professionals with using MATLAB. Worthless class. this one subject equals 10 of the hardest subject ever studied in your life. TAKE HIS CLASS ONLY IF YOU ARE READY TO ACCEPT B OR C AFTER STUDYING REALLY HARD.

Online he is AWFUL. He is the exact opposite of helpful in his responses. Does not communicate clearly. Would never take again. He does not have a grasp on how students are struggling and does not take that into consideration with his expectations.

TERRIBLE!!! this class is way way harder than I thought he does not do a review before the test he does not answer if you have questions and makes you feel dumb more than anything, hard homeworks and the tests are the same ! Only 1 midterm and the final total 80% of your grade so you have to drop if you dont do good on the first test!

No reviews only two tests giventhe whole semester, very hard to pass he knows the material very well he teaches good but he expects ALOT from students tests are way harder than you think he provides a whole book a week before final and will test you over it on the final , dont take him unless you know the material, or youre not taking many classe

Wish I could give him 0 out of 5 he fails you easily does not matter how hard you try just drop the class if you mess up on one test because no matter how good you do on the second test he will still give you a D or F

buy yourself some antidepressants and brew some coffee, get ready to take the worst class you will ever take. Taking this class is like taking 3 classes at once, no relief in any form, even after the Feb. storm knocked out power for a week, don't expect any help from him

If I had a genie grant me three wishes the first one would be to remove Hullender from the academic field, leave him in the research field where everyone already knows all of the material because that is the only people he can function with

Tests over material that is barely covered in lecture, quizzes and homework. Take this class with another professor.

He is not a good teacher. He knows his stuff well enough to make a textbook but he cannot teach at all. He uploaded lectures from a previous semester, taught us the bare minimum and expected us to figure out the rest on our own with no prior knowledge of this material. He even talked about raising the passing grade from 70 to 72. Avoid at all costs

He's too controlling of his course. We were not allowed to seek any guidance other than from him and his book that he made. His book was sub-par. There's no big picture understanding. For example, he went over calculating PSD. In his book, there's literally one line that even describes what it is, the rest was confusing math on its calculation.

Worst professor ever. Do not take him if you want to protect your GPA

No partial credit on HW, we dont get feedback on the tests. He makes everything difficult for no reason, whenever you email him for clarification, you feel him trying to slap you through the email for not understanding.

You get no partial credit, he really makes everything so much harder he is really tough on students and is extremely mean.

This is the worse class I have ever taken. The semester is coming to an end and my experience with Dr. Hullender has been abysmal. He says that he's willing to answer questions and help you but when you reach out to him there is a heavy tone of disrespect and belittling. There are two exams in his class and combined worth 70% of your grade.

Professor Hullender is one of the smartest people Ive seen, however not a great a teacher. He knows his materials but he expect you to know as much as he does. His book can be so confusing. The hardest part about his exams is the time given. Pretty much impossible to finish on time. Doesnt do a lot of application an everything is conceptual

The Professor uses recorded lectures from Cvoid to "teach" and isn't available in person for help, In addition, the in-person class is actually a lab where minimal help can be found.

Hullender is the most specialized and distinguished researcher in UTA regarding simulation of systems. However, his class functions autonomously with monotone, pre-recorded lectures and a small Q&A session. Extremely hard test grading and arrogance while giving feedback show that you will need to work hard for this class.

I have no respect for this guy, because he has no respect for students. I understand a class can be hard, which it is, it's not about that. If I was as rude to my boss as he is to students, I wouldn't have a job longer than a day. Quite atrocious that he can be a professor. If you can at all avoid taking him as a professor, avoid him

If you want to save your time and money avoid this professor at all costs. He uses pre-recorded lecture videos that barely provide any useful information for homework and his textbook is beyond horrendous at explaining the material. I truly believe however that this professor knows the material, but he cannot teach said material. Goodluck

One of the worst professors. Gave homeworks that were "review" for test but were completely unhelpful. If you have to take this course, take it in the fall because it's usually easier in the fall. Study spring semester tests because they are harder than fall tests. He requires you to use his textbook, which is poorly written.

Absolutely abysmal class. From day 1 expect to be confused and from HW 1 expect to have arbitrary and unfair grading. All lectures are prerecorded on canvas and teach poorly. Only 2 exams which are impossible to prepare for because practice exams aren't helpful, homework isn't helpful, and they only give 50 minutes for an hour and 20 minute class.

Unfortch, he is the only available professor for this class until he dies. Him and Wallace "teach" it together, but she doesn't know what's going on. Incredibly difficult class, lectures are online now (prerecorded) and horrifically boring and noninformative. The exams have Q's that students have never seen before. Only 2 exams 70% of the grade.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. The lecture videos are painfully boring and monotonous. I know people who took this class 3 times and still could not pass. His tests and homework are horribly difficult. His book is not organized at all. I don't know why UTA does not hire someone else to teach this course. Dr. Hullender is a horrible professor.

Dr. Hullender is by fare the worst professor I have ever take in my life. This dudes text book is straight trash and he uses it to show off hiss accomplishments and is narcissistic af. This dude legit told us on quiz & test he didnt go over the material because he wanted us to figure it out. If you can avoid him please do so at all cost.

THE worst engineering professor at UTA, probably anywhere. Gives multiple homeworks a week, has a terrible textbook. Super stuck up guy who is super unhelpful if you have questions. Gave a hard homework he said was review for the test. Everyone spent their studying time trying to finish it. Not a single topic from that homework was on the test.

Hey guys, just wanted to say that I took Hullender a few years ago and am now in industry and can now say for certain that whatever you guys are learning in 3360, 3319, etc. are completely irrelevant. The methods he tries to push and says that engineers use is false and you will in no way see the methods in his textbooks ever again. best of luck!

Professor Hullender is a smart man, but he is a horrible lecturer. Many times I would leave the lecture with more questions than what I came in with. This class was very hard compared to the other sections with different professors. Also beware that he wrote the book used in this class. Only sometimes would it help. Take other professors.

Any positive review that is left is a review left by David A. Hullender himself. Great researcher, horrible professor. "Quiz's are based on previous lectures!!" quizzes are never based on previous lectures..

I dropped out of MAE and UTA because of Dr.Hullender. Truthfully, his age is getting to him as he forgets the simplest of things. He put his whole life into his 2 books because he couldn't make it in industry. Yet, has not one to continue his perceived legacy because its outdated. Times have changed since the 50's, Took my college money elsewhere.

Imagine being over 21 and having mandatory attendence for a class that you yourself pay for.I am 28 and he still treats me and my fellow classmates as we're children. The kind of person that makes you still raise your hand or ask for permission to go to the bathroom.I am switching to another university to take Systems as he is a horrific instructor

Why is this man still teaching, failed at industry and takes his pain out on undergraduates. He is a very very smart man and knows what he is talking about, but his emotional quotient is significantly below average. Someone who cannot communicate effectively with students should not be an educator.

Dr. Hullender makes reviews on here himself. Sometimes he is too lazy to rewrite something and just copies what he wrote before. Notice for yourself.

Has "supplemental prerecorded lectures" before every lecture that is approximately an hour and a half and basically forces you to watch because if you don't, you will fail the course because he covers no material in class, but forces you to attend so he can give you a quiz over the "supplemental lecture". Dr. Hullender I KNOW you are reading this.

Gives a Exams over content made up by him and doesn't cover it. He can't do simple Newtonian physics so he uses his own made up methods. After which he berates and yells at students.

There is no one in the MAE department as disliked as David Hullender. Truly a marvel that he still teaches. Needs to retire, too old schooled. Walked in slightly late to a quiz and was scolded and refused to finish it.

The class has a group chat of 35 of the 50 students with us all discussing how horrible of a professor he is. Extremely condescending, acts high a mighty and just gives an attitude to everyone that he interacts with.

Everyone failed the latest exam and he spent the whole class period insulting everyone and insinuating we all had some sort of mental disability

Dropped this class. Refuses to tell us exam grade average because he believes that every single person should compare themselves to the very top score, so if you have a savant in your class you better perform relative to him.

Avoid if you can. It will make your life easier.

Three words. Unprofessional, unlikable, aggressive.

Just as a warning for anyone, do not take any class with him if you can. If you've never taken 3360/3319 with him the exams will be extremely tough, he puts material covered from those classes the way he taught it when he should be testing over material he covered in the class he's currently teaching. Expects you to know more than what he teaches.

Please avoid him at all costs, if his name appears on your schedule, expect pain, grief and sorrow as you watch your grade in cavas go into a straight free fall after the first exam.

Absolutely the worst professor you could have. All he did for our 3324 class was talk about a deck of cards that could do all the differential equations. Besides that he is all over the place with his lectures and does not care to answer any of the classes questions. If you have the option to avoid this professor I highly recommend you do so.

On the 10th week of the semester, and every time someone answers a lecture question, he says, "Well, yes, but that is not what I am looking for." He gives a quiz at the start of every in-person lecture. Poor time management in lectures (spends an hour giving quiz answers).

If you have to take analysis with him, take it another semester if you can. He is quite literally the worst professor I've ever had. He simply is incapable of teaching effectively and is a detriment to every student in the class for about 16 reasons that are too long to list here. I feel I've learned nothing but to avoid hullender at all costs.

The professor doesn't know how to make more than half of the class understand. I find his method of teaching very unhelpful.

Avoid avoid avoid.

Quizzes at the beginning of every class, usually over what he plans to give a lecture on after the quiz. Not clear about expectations regarding homework submission formats. Lectures are very sporadic and seemingly unplanned. Replaces one lecture a week with an online one that doesn't thoroughly explain anything. Nice guy, but not good at teaching.
