He talks alot . he is a very interesting man. He likes to show you how life and math coincide. He is a great math teacher. He could be a lil more thorough, though. I would refer him to anyone. He was very entertaining.

good teacher

Ok professor, overall nice guy, he does give you encourgement and talk about life and intertwine them with math. He rushes, tests are tough, doesn't review, gives exams on things we never go over. I dropped the class doesn't give make up exams. He just rushed too much for my liking and didn't even stop for questions b/c we "didn't have enough time"

he talks wayyyyyyyyyy to much. real nice guy he moves kinda quick and lied about extra credit. if u have him now and math is not ur subject drop it like it was on fire however if u love math u should have fun with this guy. tests r extremely hard.

This professor is way to hard. He teaches to fast. we were 2 weeks ahead of all the others classes and most of the people were not passing. the class started with 35 students or so and ended with 11 students. more than half dropped. we If you need to take this class consider another teacher. if no choice do the class work ahead of time & good luck.

Great professor, had an easy A. He explains everything really god, you just have to ask him. Very intelligent man.It was a pleasure to take his class

Very hard tests. he doesnt collect homeworks. dont need the text book.

Knows what he is teaching, if you have to take pre calculus next you have to take him he will give you a good base otherwise if you want to get the grade easily you may take others

Great teacher but extremely hard. It was easy at the beginning but it gets extremely hard later on. If your not good at math like that try another professor. The good thing is that is that he is real straight up. He tells how his class is going to be. But trust me if you are failing or see your self falling behind. RUN and don't even look back

his a great professor but not for every one only if u like math if u dont like math dont take the class with him

Great Professor! If you like math you will do great in his class. Hill is a funny guy and cares a lot for his students, you just have to ask for help when you need it. He is also very honest/straight up with his students and his grading system is fair.

resting professor, fair, articulate,with high standards. Will hold students academically accountable.

Overall a fair professor. Gives a review sheet with answer key before every test. Explains everything in details. Does many problems. Must keep up and take notes! Cannot fall behind. Doesnt collect the homework but you should do the problems either way because its great review for his test. Takes most problems from hw. His test are fair.

Took prof. Hill's class during summer; it was a 5-week express course. what a ride! Prof. Hill was thorough, detailed and encouraging. Dropped the lowest score of 3 regular tests; nevertheless, one had to keep up and do homewrk in order to pass. I would like to take my next math course with him.

I took MAT1180 during Spring "12 under Dr. Hill. He is very encouraging, but a no nonsense, professor. He does not coddle students, but expects them to conduct themselves as real college students. To do well, one must keep up and do homework, because several test questions may be those that may be overlooked in the assigned problems.

Took MATH1275 during fall '11 withis professor. he grades primarily on th ebasis of test scores; homework assignments are not collected nor figured in the final grade. When extra credit problems are given, greater effort and possibly more insight are required than regularly assigned/disssed problems. He is a tough grader, but generally fair.

Don't take Dr. Hill's class if you are not prpared to study regularly and pass very challenging tests! As some have said, he is a tough professor;but he is also straight up with students. He lets you know in the beginning what you will face in he course. I worked hard for my A-, but it as worth the effort.

Very helpful when explaining details about problems. Encourages to be focus, and a very good professor.

Dr. Hill is a Great professor. He is Amazing at explaining the course material. As a student, I advise you to do your BEST. Eventhough he doesntn't necessarily check the homework, make it your best interest to do it. TRUST ME, it's to your BENEFIT. You will be prepared for the exams if you do ALL the homework, assignments and understand them!

Wonderful Professor. Really NICE. Do the homework!!! Don't be Lazy. Math is a subject you have to put down time to study. The best way to retain the knowledge is Practice, Practice, and Practice! That's the best advice I can give you. That is how it'll get into your head. Good Luck! :)

Very serious professor,not lenient at all.

Dr. Hill is a very interesting professor. He has high standards and moves through material at rapid pace. He fields all questions and provides detailed, on-the-spot answers. I earned an A- in his precalculus class, but had to work like heck to get that grade. I liked his no-nonsense attitude, and would gladly take one of his classes again.

Prof. Hill has a "take-no-prisoner" attitude. He does not coddle students; he is definitely firm, but fair. Unlike some teachers/professors, he gives challenging tests that you have to really study for. I earned a B+. If one is looking for an easy, "high-school" way out, forget about taking Dr. Hill's class. This professor is the real deal.

Dr. Hill is a wonderful professor who truly is "firm but fair". One must study regularly and seriously prepare for tests to do well. I earned an A in his class; but it seems that the students who complain the most do the least and are not willing to do the necessary work to succeed. I plan to register for my next math class with this professor.

It is true, Dr. Hill is old fashioned, strict and not lenient - all admirable traits. I respec him very much because he is not wishy-washy and not inclined to lean in every direction in which the wind blows. In his classe, one has to actually earn his/her graqde. I applaud Prof. Hill. We need more like him. College is college, not middle school.

I just finished the 5-week Summer course in MAT1175 under Dr. Hill. He completed the course outline as promised, and we had very lively review sessions prior to each test. He frequently emphasized traps/mistakes we should look out for. I made a B+ in his class. He is an excellent professor with very high standards. What more can one ask for?

Professor Hill is a very unique teacher. I respect him and his teaching methods in which there is no nonsense. He does not treat us like high school students and this course is not that easy and it is not impossible. If you study and work hard you can manage an A. That is what this professor wants is for all his students to work hard.

Dr. hill is a really nice guy, very lenient. He is also old. In the beginning of the semester he missed about 1 month due to him having surgery. Attendance is NOT mandatory such as lateness, leaving class early because he takes attendance at the end of class! 3 In class exam worth 60% 1 exam gets dropped! One final exam worth 40%. I got a B+

Prof Hill is thorough, he is also understanding and wants all his students to pass. He takes attendance at the end of class. I do recommend.

Excellent professor, takes the time to make sure every student had a clear understanding of the work, he covers everything that will be on final exam

TAKE HIM! HE IS THE BEST! HIS TESTS ARE DIFFICULT BUT HE IS SUCH A HELPFUL TEACHER AND I JUST LOVED HIM! HE WAS SO GOOD- AND HE TAUGHT REALLY WELL! 5 STARS

not the best but not the worst. ok overall. hard tests. but explains ok. would take again. gives extra credit for homework so do it if you need it..

If you want to understand math take a class with earl hill. He explains tha best I ever had. If you're looking for an easy a you have the wrong address. U must work hard but you will be rewarded accordingly. He is fair. Again If you're serious would recommend if not not.

I loved Professor Hill. He was awesome and cared about our grades and futures. He was straightforward and very informative.

Best professor ever

Earl hill lectures are straight forward and informative take him you won't regret

Professor hill is such a nice professor he always goes straight to the point and it explains everything so well I found his lectures crystal clear i would love to take his class again

He covered everything that was gonna be on the final exam and his lectures are crystal clear he breaks things step by step to show how he wants it done I would highly recommend taking him for 1475

His exams are really easy most people say that his exams are hard because they didn't try all this professor wants to see is effort I would highly recommend him 1475

This professor is a real Professor he knows what he's doing and if you don't understand the method he would try helping you out in explaining it in a different way.

I have ben a student in two of Dr. Hill's classes and have found him to be an excllent professor. Even with the high standards he set in each course, I was able to make an A each time.

Dr. Hill is an amazing professor. He is somewhat old-fashioned and his online skills are not the greatest. But his teaching is at a high level. He has high standards and also seems concerned about the progress of his students. Anyone who is willing to work hard undoubtedly could make a good grade under his instruction. He is the real deal!

Prof. Hill is a very articulate and inspiring professor who sets high standards for students. He gives good lectures with relevant math properties, and is a tough grader. I have worked hard for the A I expect to make this semester, but some students right out of high school seem to want to pass without putting in the necessary work.

Prof. Hill is a wonderful professor. He does give challenging tests; but this is college, not the neighborhood high school. We must be able to compete in this 21st century. He seems very experienced and knowlegeable, and explains the material to a T. From my point of view, he is highly recommended.

I am currently a member of 1275 and I find Dr. Hill to be a very active and inspiring instructor. He is up in age, but is definitely not boring. Many of the students make low test scores, and would probably be more successful if they themselves would actually "read the book" and practice doing problems. Prof. Hill is indeed highly recommended.

Was a bit worried after signing up for this mandatory Math Class after 10+ years of not doing any math, but if you do what Professor asks, take notes of everything even things said, do math examples (from the free online book) at home after each topic, and go over every review before exams, your test score will show exactly how hard you studied.

I was in Dr. Hill's precalculus class during Spring 2020 and managed to pass the class. Dr. Hill's online skills when Covid was shaking up the whole world were clearly lacking. But to judge him during that dark and frightening period when many people were dying on a daily basis is unfair. He was dynamic and inspiring during that difficult time.

Dr. Hill is a wonderful professor who exhibits much enthusiasm and a joy for teaching. He is very well spoken and never sits down during the entire class period. He was an inspiration who shared much wisdom and knowledge. I hear that this amazing professor is retiring after a long career as a vibrant role model at City Tech. I wish him well!

Dr. Hill is an outstanding lecturer and a master teacher. Some students focused on the "interesting stories" without grasping the knowledge, wisdom and inspiration that could have been gained. Dr. Hill did make a mistake from time to time. Who has not? Even as teaching is thought to be God's work, I say farewell to a good and faithful servant!

Dr. Hill has been a wonderful role model for students at City Tech, especially those of color, for more than 50 years. After a successful and stellar career, it seems that he is retiring. I have taken and passed two of his classes. I wish I could have taken more. Dear Sir, may you reap your just rewards for a journey well travelled!
