If you're bad at math, you need to take him. He'll work with you until you understand. On another note, you have to take four test, a cumulative exam (he rounds your grade), quizzes, the Pie chart, and WRAPS check. He also gives several extra credit opportunities. Show up, stay on top of your work, ask questions, and you may earn a C or higher.

Professor Hurd is a great teacher. Class lectures go by pretty fast so you must be alert at all times during class. He covers a lot of material but is really good at making sure you understand it. He care about the well being of his students and is very patient. If he were teaching my next math class, i would register for his class.

You learn a lot in that class and if you don't understand something, he will go through it as many times as you need to overcome it. Take all the extra credit you are given!

This was my first time taking a Online class. I didn't know what to expect or if I was going to do a great job. This website helped me decide who would the best Professor that would have patience with me because I don't really care for Math and I'm not a great test taker and I needed someone who was clear and concise. Mr. Hurd was there every step!

My first semester attending college, my adviser recommended Professor Joseph Hurd. I had an opportunity to take my first (developmental) mathematics class with him last fall. I enjoyed his lectures. Also, he was patient with the students. The students could call, text, email or sit in his math class after hours for additional assistance.

I took him for SLS2261. He is amazing. He has an upbeat personality and makes the class fun. The content was not very stressful, but I did learn from him. I would take him again. The class was comfortable and we broke out into groups often. I advise others to take the class.

His fairness is only exceeded by his compassion and I would recommend him to anyone that has to take a math class both on line and face to face.

This class is a absolute joke and I hate how its a requirement to get a AA at TCC. You could learn this entire class in a 30 minute youtube video but it would be free and save you 4 months of your life. Don't buy the textbook most of it is common sense and he doesn't use it. Professor is nice and you have to be incompetent to not get an A.

Cear grading criteria, easy projects based off of the leadership textbook.Each week is usually a Chapter quiz with two attempts based on the textbook (very easy). Responds quickly, grades easily, understands your hectic life, and is always sending out info about TCC events/things to know.

Can't say enough great things about Professor Hurd. Made his College Success class very easy to follow, was always energetic coming into class and throughout, and always made jokes with us. Class was put together concisely and to the point. Was very conscious of what was going on outside the classroom whether being a hurricane or whatever it was.

I use to HATE math! I have always been good at it, but my understanding for it has always been limited. With his class he not only offers textbook references, examples, but video playthroughs on how to do the problems. As a hands-on and visual learner this definitely helped! He also ALWAYS responds! 10/10
