He is a very nice teacher!! Always willing to help you out, and help you understand. He's sometimes like to tell jokes to lively up the class. He also sometimes like to bring small snack items to help the students focus while in class,but it's every once in a while :( . Overall, good teacher : ) come to class and you should do Great !
Mt favorite teacher!!! He goes out of his way to help those who want to be helped! He is awesome, and his class makes my day!
Mr.Hurd is my favorite teacher. He is a great guy who really does care about his students as long as they care. It really is your return on investment, Come to class pay attention and you can make a good grade in his class. He likes jokes and brings snacks but he is a great teacher and will help you with anything all you have to do is ask!
Mr. Hurd is a wonderful professor. He is really nice and he really does care that you do well in his class. I have never had a more helpful professor, he will work with you and he is really understanding. Ive liked Hurd since day 1. He really is awesome and i recommend taking his class!!!!!
i LOVED his class! great teacher and such a help! i suck at math and he helped me so much!!!
Mr. Hurd is a really good teacher. He is funny and interesting to listen to. He allows snacks in class and doesn't care if you text or are on your computer. He cares about his students and will work with if you get to the point that you feel like you might have to withdraw.
Mr. hurd is very helpful and careing if you need assistance he is more then willing to help you in any way possible. He does not want you to fail. I have a hard time with math and he has tried to help me during an express session.
Mr. Hurd is a wonderful teacher Always trying to help you succeed in and out of his classroom. One of the best teachers I have found so far! Thanks Mr. hurd! uses guided notes which is about 7.00 for the book. Helps anyway you need to pass his class
He is so helpful and is willing to do anything to make sure you understand. Very funny and an entertaining class. I struggle with math and he is the best math teacher I have ever had. Make sure to do the assignments and he lets you know exactly what to expect on the tests.
Extremely helpful professor. If you care about your grade, he cares. If you want to learn he is always willing to help. Keeps you posted on things going on around campus, test reviews and everything. Keeps class entertained with quick wits, excellent math man too. If only he was teaching all my math classes.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE MR. HURD HE'S THE BEST IN THE WORLD HE WILL HELP YOU WITH EVERYTHING IN CLASS AND OUTSIDE OF CLASS. HE TRULY CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS. IF A STUDENT DOESN'T PASS HIS CLASS IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR GRADES BECAUSE HE MAKES HIS CLASS FUN AND EASY SO TAKE HIM BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST!!!!!!!
Super chill dude, easy to understand and freaking hilarious! If you picked another math teacher, you picked wrong!
I loved him! He was very relaxed and made lots of jokes in class to ease the seriousness of it. Very helpful, understanding and made me feel prepared and comfortable about leaving his class to move forward. I would definitely recommend this professor hands down!
Mr. Hurd is an up tempo, very straightforward teacher. He holds interest during lessons and always keeps it short and simple. Class usually ends early and he gives grade forgiveness. Great teacher, great class.
Great instructor and person. Very helpful and always made class fun. Kept me motivated and helped when asked.
AWESOME TEACHER! Very understanding and makes class interesting. Usually lets you leave 10 mins early. Drops a bunch of your lowest grades at the end!
He is awesome.He genuinely cares about you and wants you to pass. He drops your lowest test grade at the end, and if you dont understand something he stops and makes sure that you understand. he brings snacks for each test and he is very understandable. But make sure you remember to do your pie..Hit that mark every month or it will effect you! :)
Without a doubt one of THE BEST teachers I have ever had. He kept you interested and was very clear in his lessons and is always willing to help. It you have to take MAT0028, take it with Hurd, you will not regret it.
very funny wants us to be the best don't hold us hostage easy going
Very nice!! I love him! He does talk alot! But he is very helpful and he gives you snacks on test days! Class does require you to go everyday or you will be confused the next day!! Overall a good teacher!
Best math teacher ever!!!
I have had Professor Hurd for both MAT0018 and MAT0028. Both semesters were some of the greatest I've had so far at TCC. Mr. Hurd is a great teacher, who really does care about your future. He will go out of his way to make sure you get the help you need. It's to bad he doesn't teach higher level math classes, because I would choose him every time.
I love Mr. Hurd he is so funny
Great professor, hands down! Scheduled my last semester around his availability. Will bend over backwards for you, if you show that you care.
One of the best teachers I've ever had! Has made me fall in like with math. Very patient and understanding. He is always so funny and creates a great atmosphere in the classroom. I'm almost upset to be leaving his class next week. Saying that I would recommend him would be an understatement.
LOVE this teacher! I wish he taught MAT1033
Fantastic. Simply put.
this course was a great experience. I mad new friends and my instructor got right to the point. no sugar coating.
Great Teacher Overall
Is a great teacher
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.
He was one of the best teachers that I have for my first year in college. I enjoyed the way he teach the subject. He let the class participate in conversations and questions. 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!
He has been my favorite professor so far in my college life. He really cares about the students and does all he can to help you pass. He covers a lot of material pretty quickly, so you need to pay attention, but if you have a question or ask him to slow down, he will. He is also hilarious and such a down to earth teacher. I will miss him!
I had been out of school for a while.. when I started this semester, Professor Hurd was assigned to me. He helped me "re_learn" so much of what I'd forgotten. I have already selected my classes for next semester, and I even arranged my schedule so I could take his class for MAT0028. Way to go, Mr. Hurd!! I'm very grateful to you!
Best professor I've ever had. Gives as much extra credit as possible. Understanding when you have to miss class. Gives practice tests for the tests and final that are the exact same material as the tests. Easy A.
Amazing professor! I love him. The material is good if your not that good at math and he explains it so anyone can understand. He makes it easy to get an A. He make math fun and interesting. He make class funny and entertaining. he is one of my favorites so far. I highly recommend taking him for any class you need that he teaches, he's awesome!
amazing teacher that gives lots of extra credit id prob get bout 30 extra points added to my graded
I'm not good at Math, but Prof. Hurd was patient with me, and all the others in the class. His patience and determination for me to succeed made me want to work to my fullest potential and do well. This was not an easy class, and there was a lot of work, but the interest shown by such things as answering emails on weekends, showed that he cared.
A nice teacher
I've never been great at Math whatsoever and I am honestly terrified of it. I had Mr. Hurd for MAT0018 my first semester and I am currently in his MAT0028 class. He is really patient with his students and really does care a lot about your academic success. He has never once talked down at a student or belittled then in anyway. Very respectable man.
AWESOME TEACHER, THE BEST YOU CAN GET
This is by far one of my favorite teachers I have had the pleasure of having and meeting in my life. He care so much for each of his students individually and will do EVERYTHING in his power to help you succeed!! Not only is he a great math teacher but he is a great person with a personality unlike any other!PLEASE, if you have the chance take him
Professor Hurd is the greatest! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs this class; especially those who need the extra help. He was a joy, and taught me sooo much. Kudos, Professor Hurd!
The best professor I have ever had at TCC. Professor Hurd is amazing and is a math genius!! Do the he's and quizzes and listen in class you will have no problem passing! He really does care about all his students and will help you if you put in the work ethic. Hands down the best!!
Hurd is the man, he will always help you after class and I highly recommend him.
Mr. Hurd is honestly the best professor out there. He is very caring about his students. If you struggle in math, I recommend you taking him. He makes class light and wants you to enjoy it. On test days he brings light snacks for the students. This man knows his stuff.
Very funny.
Mr. Hurd is one of the nicest and most caring teachers I've had, laid back class atmosphere, answers messages very fast and is very polite. He answers student's questions in the lectures in a clear way to help you understand the material. I highly recommend taking him.
Sweetest professor ever!! He truly cares about his students & I will be sad when I cant have him for math anymore!
Love this man! Gives great lectures and is super funny. Also gives you extra credit for showing your work on tests. Would recommend for anyone.
Hurd cares about his students and is willing to work with you if you require additional review, or accommodations. He is an amazing professor and brings life to his lectures. He offers extra credit for those of you who are willing to try for it. He is very communicative and informative for upcoming events that we need to be aware of/present for.
He is my favorite professor at TCC. He's very quirky and funny. He honestly cares about his students but if you don't put in the effort, he will drop people. The class is super easy! Just pay attention! If you need extra help, he will help you or you'll probably have a math champion in your class that can help. Explains it in a way everyone gets it
Mr. Hurd is awesome!! His goal is to get you through with a passing grade and get you involved on campus. Constantly makes jokes in class and spaced out the work very very well, unlike other college success classes with last minute projects. He rocks and if you take the time to get to know him, he would be an awesome professor for rec letters.
Mr. Hurd was amazing! I was always horrible at math but his class was easy to understand and he got me to pass! I definitely would take again if I had too! He really cares about his students passing and will always offer extra help.
This is my second semester at TCC and Ive had Hurd for both. Hes a great teacher!! Without him pushing me this semester, I would have given up. Hes very thorough during class, and stops at nothing to help you succeed.
Really really solid teacher, extremely thoughtful and keeps you up to date on everything, works with you and actually wants you to succeed and do well.
His class is very easy especially if you pay attention and try . If you dont know something he break it down to you in the simplest way possible . Homework , quizzes , tests is exactly on what he teach you on . He is very understandable and I great teacher o wish I can take him for all my math classes
Mr Hurd was a very good instructor and I wish I could have him for other math classes that I will be taking. He gives plenty of extra credit for those that need it and he also was flexible when the holidays rolled around by pushing due dates back. For online students he would allow us to take the test in his classroom.
Professor Hurd is so nice. He is very patient, responsive and sincerely wants you to pass this class. His expectations are clear, and he offers extra credit for everyone. I'm happy with my grade! I would recommend him to anyone who struggles in math.
Professor Hurd was awesome to take. He is understanding and caring and gives you lots of chances to bring your grade up! As long as your participate and do your homework, you are sure to pass!
Professor Hurd was awesome to take. He is understanding and caring and gives you lots of chances to bring your grade up! As long as your participate and do your homework, you are sure to pass!
He is a very good teacher , he works with you to help you understand your readings. He is also reachable outside of class. I enjoyed his teaching.
Great guy all around and he really cares about his students and how they live there lives.
College Success was a great way to build confidence in my college career. The lectures can be dry at times, but Mr. Hurd does his best to spice them up. Attendance is important - there were lots of grades for in-class assignments. Tests can be tough, but they're not a huge chunk of your grade; take notes during lectures and you'll be fine.
Great teacher and super respectful to students and faculty. Overall, a fantastic course to take.
Professor Hurd is by far the most outgoing professor. There's honestly so much to say about him positively i can write on and on, i truly recommend taking him if this class is needed!!!!
Mr. Hurd is awesome and really cares about his students.. and if you need a class that doesn't have a heavy workload this is it.
Mr. Hurd is an understanding teacher that helps his students with materials they don't understand, and participation is a must. He gives good feedback and gives extra credit once you do your work.
Mr. Hurd is the best professor to take. I hate math but he made everything so much easier to understand. Mr. Hurd gives so many opportunities for extra credit. If he taught any other classes at TCC, I would for sure take them. The weekly assignments and quizzes are super easy. I took this class online and had no problems.
Great teacher overall, but isn't always clear on grading and due dates. He's very funny and great to have in class, but easily gets off topic. Gives lots of extra credit and is easy to talk to about grades when needed.
Mr Hurd is a excellent professor I took MATH0028 Online and was a easy class all tests where taken from home using Honor Lock! I recommend taking his online class.
By far best teacher
Best professor, he usually let us out of class early and would cancel class before a project is due (usually Friday). You can tell he really cares about his students!
If you ever had the chance to take Professor Hurd DO IT!!!!!
One of the best professors at TCC by far. Highly recommend, take him while you still have a chance!
Professor Hurd is an excellent teacher! He is very knowledgeable and caring. He is a very good teacher because he cooperates with students, is enthusiastic about the subject matter, and is very hard working!
Professor Hurd is a great teacher and a all aariund caring person. He also has a very lated back class but you WILL definitely learn something! His classroom setting is very open and he encourages questions and peer interaction. I enjoyed the experience and will always hold him in high regard.
Mr. Hurd is an excellent professor and a great person. He really cares about every one of his students. He does his absolute best to help you succeed, he'll do anything he can, besides actually doing the assignment for you. Very understanding and makes class as fun as possible. Showing up will definitely help and he makes class as fun as he can
I really liked Professor Hurd! Throughout the semester, he was very caring and encouraging. He also communicates really well and in a timely manner which was especially important to me because I took an online class. I would highly recommend him and would take him again!
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!
I really apprecite Professor Hurd he was great he calmed my nerves and just made learning math very pleasent
Was my second semester taking his class.. his schedule is flexible and gives you ample amount of time to complete each section! If youre struggling he will go out of his way to help, trust me if youre not so hot in math take his class youll pass!
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.
Great class with even better professor. Highly recommend.
One of my favorite teachers I have ever had, as this being one of my first college courses, he made it very easy and unstressful. He makes the class fun and easy to understand, learned a lot from him. He really cares about the well being of his students and is very understanding
Loved Prof. Hurd. He really cares about his students and helps you be successful. He's hilarious and makes learning and his class fun. Highly recommend taking his class and I would definitely take his class again.
Mr. Hurd is the nicest teacher teacher. I had him for SLS. He accepts things late, pretty much everything is participation and their are few tests and they're all very easy. He is absolutely amazing and caring and cares about the students. Deserves a raise.
A real teacher that cares about not only your grade but you as a person. Professor Hurd helped me apply for scholarships and gain opportunities. He gives good lectures that are easy to understand and is an understanding teacher when it comes to assignments.
Joseph Hurd is one of the best professors Ive ever had and I strongly recommend that you take his class. Hes always there to help and never wants to see you fail. A truly amazing professor I wish I could have him every year.
Joseph Hurd is a great teacher . I would recommend this class to another student . I love how he teaches , very straight forward you shouldnt get a bad grade in college success its a easy course .
Great personality and shows care for the students. 100% recommend Mr. Hurd for SLS 1510.
The class is mostly listening and the professor is cool; as long as you do the work when it's there you should finish with a high grade.
I took him for college success and it was an easy A, I never got less than 100% on anything I did. As long as you are submitting work, you will pass this class.
AMAZING doesnt decribe him, extremely helpful about anoything even if it wasnt math related. I love how funny he is it made morning so much better. GIVE THIS MAN MORE MATH CLASSES I will miss him so much for the rest of my TCC life. If you struggle in math (like I did) this man will break it down in a way that makes sense to YOU. Thanks for being u
Mr. Hurd has been a true blessing to have as my teacher. This teacher will not only help you pass your class but will ensure that you do as long as you put forth effort and he knows you are trying. 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.
Mr Hurd has been a fair and respectful teacher. I look forward to taking the next level math taught by him.
Professor Hurd is great. He wants his students to succeed. He is also real good about giving recognition where it is due. He's friendly, and really smart. Stay in touch with him and you'll do fine. I feel like I was lucky to have him as my instructor for this class. I thought I was bad at math, but he proved me wrong!
Prof. Joseph Hurd was an absolutely amazing professor that I had the pleasure of having. He was extremely helpful and always helped his students and put us first. He also nominated many people for the TCC eagle award which included me. I became the first Dual Enrollment student to ever win the award, and couldn't have done it without him,Must Take!
i had to retake this class for grade forgiveness & he is BY FAR the BEST math teacher i have ever had. he cares about his students success & is willing to help you in anyway need be. hes easy to get ahold of, and also is understanding that his class isnt the only class you have. do the work & youll for sure pass. i would take any class he taught
I would definitely recommend taking Mr. Hurd. I struggle with math but he made it easier and provided practice tests for every exam. Exams online were not timed or proctored.
Prof. Hurd is amazing! He really cares about each and every one of his students and really enriches your college experience. He is very clear on what is due and when and is very accessible in and out of class. I can only hope that my future instructors are as awesome as he was.
Prof. Hurd is absolutely amazing! I had him for two classes this semester, college success and intermediate algebra. He was absolutely fantastic for both classes. He is accessible in and out of class and really cares about each and every one of his students and shows concern for their success. He even encourages extracurricular activities.
The easiest class ever. Mr Hurd only wants the best for you and answers ever single question you have. He was easy to contact and helped me through things. I took this class online and I loved it being self paced. He respected us and helped me through everything. Take him!!
Very nice guy. Mr. Hurd cares about you and the grades you receive. The work is really easy. It is not a class to stress about at all.
Professor Hurd was amazing! He listens to his students and genuinely cares not only about us passing his class, but about us as individuals! I enjoyed his style of teaching and his SLS class so much that I am taking another class of his next semester! If you have a heavy work schedule, or need extra help in any subject, he is the professor to take!
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.
Fun professor who is approachable and upbeat. He was quick to provide the much-needed confidence to get me through the class.
Hurd was great, one of the best Profs I have ever had. 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 work for the state and this is my first class getting back into college. Professor Hurd was amazing - getting me through a difficult subject, respecting my many work obligations, and getting me to the proper advising teams.
This class was made easy the professor was always available when needed would definitely take this class again
Awesome
He is very kind and understanding. I had a family medical emergency, and he was very helpful and compassionate during that time.
Wonderful professor! Truly cares about his students, and is very professional!
Mr. Hurd is great, he made the math look really easy and you weren't penalized for being late or absent. He's really funny and chill, I just genuinely felt really comfortable in his class. Stress doesn't exist there.
Professor Hurd makes this required class easy and enjoyable. He's very understanding and cares about students' success. Definitely take advantage of Unstuck ai for additional study prep.
Mr. Hurd is AWESOME! He is kind, caring and wants all of his students to succeed! As long as you do your work, you will easily pass his class. He is VERY communicative. Mr. Hurd is also very "Pro" student. If you need help with something; ANYTHING, he is always happy to assist. We need more like him!
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
