Started off slow and serious, but class got better as it went along. You can tell he loves teaching and has good experience. Too many stories, good stories, but lots of them.
I recommend that you take professor Hyland if your major is Marketing. I have no interest in Marketing but he made it interesting. He connects things with the text to your own personal life, so its easier to relate to. He is a very fair and thorough professor and really cares if you pass the class.
Great class. Professor Hyland shows great knowledge in his area of study. His explanations are clear, he cares about his students' progress, and most important he makes everything easier.
Prof. Hyland knows what he is doing. hes very patient and very understanding. definitely take him, you'll learn so much from his classes.
Very Helpful Prof. I learned a lot a things from him. He is willing to help you out whenever you need him and that is the best thing about him. He definitely knows what he's doing!
One of the best professors that I personally have ever had. Extremely helpful and generates great in-class conversation.
Prof. Hyland has developed my passion in marketing. He is extremely helpful, clear, concise and knowledgeable in his field. Discussions are fun, involved and interesting. I highly recommend taking his classes. I very much disagree with the negative comment posted.
he is great!!!!!
This guy is awesome!!! Definitely recommend him!
BEST, Now i mean mean best ever.. Amazing story gives his students motivation and will do anythig they need to help them, great methods and great person. True role model for students and you truly recieve what you put in to his class.. absolutely must take!!!!!

Best teacher I ever had. Very helpful and passionate to what he does. He inspired me to do better in school and opened new visions for my personal life. I 100% recommend him!
Professor Hyland is one of the best professor's i have ever had. He is extremely smart and is very passionate about what he does. He actually made me want to do well! I honestly had no prior interest in a business class but i ended up learning a lot more then i thought. If you put forth effort you will recieve very postive results i know i did.
He is such a good professor and he helps out all of his students and doesn't want to see any of them fail his class. He gives you many chances!!!
I don't want to go in depth about my love for the way this man teaches and his passionate adoration for the business world. He's the best professor I've ever had, in a nutshell.
I had the pleasure to take Business management and organization with professor Hyland the last winter. He definitely has a five from me. He is a professor who really cares about his students. He is my inspiration to be a great professional. That's amazing all I could learnt from him. He is a real business man.He is the best!!!
Wow! What a great professor! Not only does he really know his stuff and has an awesome pedigree, but he's really great at explaining information to students, particularly if they have no prior background knowledge. Very inspirational guy. Makes himself really accessible to students. Super easy class too. No reason why you shouldn't get an A.
Awesome professor EVER. I wish professor is like him. Not only that he knows what he's talking about; he made the class environment so fun, enjoyable, active, and lively with no pressure. I really do recommend prof Hyland guys. You won't regret being in his class:)
Professor Hyland is a great instructor, i look up to him as a mentor. You will not regret being in his class. I enjoyed being in professor Hyland class and so will you.
Follow his instructions and you will be fine. Awesome comprehensive teacher.He knows his stuff and will make sure you will leave his class knowing too. I would have him for all of my classes if I could. 10/10 for sure!
What a great man!!! This man is so intelligent, respectful and helpful. I was lucky to have him my first semester here and he served as a mentor for me who helped me through both years at WCC and also helped with my transfer process. Really cares about students and all of his lectures will serve you for the rest of your business career! Thanks Rick
Legendary
This professor is one of a kind! He's the most influential, intelligent and interesting educational figure I've ever had! He's fair in his grading, he cares about his students and also cares about their feedback to make his class better. He's very enthusiastic, encouraging and makes you think critically. He is my role model.
Overall a great professor and one of the best on campus. If you get your work done and pay attention you'll have no problem! Great guy!
He is the man, trust.
What a professor! He's very intelligent, well-rounded, and interactive. The class is not hard if you keep up with reading. He uses blackboard for assignments. He's a very unique professor. I think all business majors should take him at least once. Trust me!
gives a lot of work, but its simple stuff, if you do it, you will do well in his class. hes funny and tries to make the class exciting whenever he can. lots of group work, midterm and finals are same as online quizzes
He gives you lots of chances on getting a good grade for class. Not much work just weekly quizzes which you can multiple times online. Weekly Key lessons basically to put your opionion/thoughts/outputs in a 150 word essay each week on each chapter but his great and interactive and just fun to have definitely would recommend him for this class. Rock
Such a unique prof. you get quizzes everyweek with multiplechances to take them,u can cheat off the txtbook to lol if u get 9/10 on all quizzes he will exempt u from final and u wont have to take it,o and u can only be absent once as well to be exempt from the final.His classes are just so interesting and he is the man,take him,u wnt b dissapointed
Awesome professor. Kind, inspiring & very patient if you're struggling w. anything. Rates a TEN in my book & i've had many YEARS of schooling & many teachers. He rocks. GONE are the days when most teach b/c they are passionate about making a difference Prof. Hyland is a rare breed. It was a privilege to learn from him. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
nice guy, funny, interesting and relatable. i like him but i dont really llearn anything.
Hyland is a great professor. Class isn't really him lecturing you its more of a discussion. He's very good about answering questions. You have weekly quizzes that you take online and have multiple chances to take them. Do your reading before class and you'll pass. He's an easy going guy and his class is defiantly manageable. Take his class!
Well, Hyland is a really great guy. But the work is INSANE. literally every week you get an online quiz(you can take over as many times to get 100) and essay(annoying). His midterm and final are easy since there all the muilt choice from previous. BUT WOW.. the work i did for this class was crazy. Hes personaility is what makes you stay though.
Great professor. Just be ready to work for you grade. you must like group projects since you have a semester long group project.
Hyland is definitely one of my favorite professors at WCC. He structures his lectures in a way that you end up clearly understanding the material. Using both real-life examples and book material there is never a dull moment in class. In terms of getting a student ready for the real world, he is the best.
He's the man.
Dr. Hyland is a knowledge professor. His classes are vey dynamic and without even knowing it, you are actually learning. His material is useful in the real world. You can get an "A" if you do all your homework (which is due every week) and study for the test and midterm (which is based on the semester's homework)
Great Profesor, you only have to do the assignment every week. weekly essays and quizzes you must do those two things in order to get a good grade in the class also make sure that when you have a group presentation you are dress formal. midterm and final would be easy if you do the weekly quizzes. taking him next semester for global bus
If he was a good Professor, he has now lost it after what he did to his online global business class this Fall. I hope I never have to deal with another professor like this. No proper direction, or grading was done in this course. Please do not take his online global business course or you will regret it.
I feel lucky to have had Prof. Hyland for 2 semesters. I had him for Bus Org and now for Global Business. Prof. Hyland is a very nice and chill person. For Global Business the whole semester is group projects. Choose your group wisely, you are stuck with them all semester. If you need advice or a confidence boost, he is the person to talk to.
I have taken Professor Hyland for the past two semesters and have to say that he is the best professor I have had at WCC. Not only is he very intellectual on the business and finance world, but he also teaches you a lot about life in general. I highly recommend taking Professor Hyland for any class he teaches.
Wish every prof was like Hyland. There are online quizes for each chapter which are the SAME EXACT questions & answers for the midterm and final. most of the class work is group projects which you pick at the beg (that was only downfall) Def take him if any class very understanding and works with you to help you and whatever goals you have.
Professor Hyland has a lot of experience and knowledge about business, He gives a very clear syllabus and has extremely easy quizzes and tests. You definitely need the textbook! Be aware that a lot of work is done through group projects but you get to choose your own group so make sure you get some hard working people and you should be fine.
Great professor, very understanding and is willing to provide help whenever is needed
Find the smartest students in the class and become their group partner. 1/4 of the grade is the final group project and you remain with the same group from day 1. I'm not gonna lie, i'm a C+ student, but i picked 3 geniuses for my group of 3 A+ students and i just rode their success on every group project. they'd get A+ i'd get an A-, pick right!
Best professor you will ever mee and never forget!!!
Amazing teacher. he has a lot of real life experience and knows what he is talking about
Prof Hyland is the best teacher I have ever had. Always well prepared for the class, which is always interactive and fun. He shares life experiences rather than talk a lot about the boring text book, more like a seminar setting. Group projects are 80% of your grade, plus the online quizzes. Take him, you won't regret!
So. Much. Work. Took the winter online course. There are 20 quizzes, 4 short essays, a midterm, a final, a 20 page final paper, a project, and a final project. ALL SQUEEZED INTO 2 WEEKS. SO much work but i guess if you have the time its easy. You can do as much work as you want each day
Took a chance on this professor due to high ratings. DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS. As the last person stated, there are 20 quizzes, 4 short essays, a midterm, a final, a 20 page final paper, a project, and a final project squeezed into 3 weeks. Syllabus was poorly laid out, and unclear causing precious time wasted contacting him.
He is an awesome guy and an amazing professor. The group projects were challenging, but I learned a lot. Some of the things he said changed the way I see the world.
You must work at this class all the time. There are chapters to read & be tested on simultaneously while working on the papers. There are 4 in total that will connect at the end. The criteria is clear, he is very organized & helpful. The entire semester of work is posted so it is work at your pace. You will learn something!
Professor Hyland is a fantastic professor. He wants everyone to succeed and gives you all the chances to do so. His class isn't a pushover though. If you don't put in the work, you will fail. His lectures are engaging and practical, and he has a wealth of experience to share. And if group projects aren't your thing, prepare to be challenged.
Professor Hyland is very kind and helpful. There is a lot of reading on the chapters and quizzes on those chapters. As long as you show up and be respectful, there should be no problems.
the curriculum for both his onsite & online classes seem to be the same. only difference is online stu's are required to do his 5, 15+ page papers on their own. onsite stu's write these papers in a group where the parts are delegated. completely unfair. on top of 20 quizzes, assgnments, 5 power-point projects, midterm, final & 20 chptrs to read!
As long as you keep up with the textbook readings and show him you are trying, I can say hell probably pass you. Hes laidback and nice but do your work! I took his biz 101. I recommend him!
Professor Hyland has the best stories about his life!
Best professor I have ever had. all the exams are so easy, you have to really not care to fail. but if you hate group projects don't take the class. he gives good feedback and actually cares about his students, this is my second semester with him and both times near finals he takes time to call people up 1 by 1 to talk to them about their gpa
professor Hyland is a great guy. online quizzes are the exact same questions in the midterm and final. do the quizzes constantly and you will memorize them easy. i finished his midterm in 6 minutes and it was 70 questions. great lectures, he gives you free parenting advice, and he will understand when the class is not feeling it and let you bounce.
Amazing professor, class is Discussion based and very entertaining, chapter quizzes(multiple attempts), 4 papers(1 page), 3 group presentations, midterm(first 7 chapters) final(last 7 chapters) based off chapter quizzes.
I have yet to come across a professor who is as professional, caring, and inspirational as Professor Hyland. Its In my highest regards that I recommend for you to take a class with him. Throughout his lectures he gives you models, stories, and advice that are not worth missing. Put in the work, follow the syllabus, and its an easy A.
he is great, and understanding. he is willing to help and work with you.
Whole class is based around having a 4-5 people group. If you are looking to not being in a group then this class is not for you.
Need reminders when things are due
excellent professor. very helpful. easy exams. highly recommended.
Great Professor! makes the course easy. if you take this class as a degree requirement i highly recommend this professor. He makes the exams and the homework very easy.
Mr. Hyland is the best college professor I've had so far. He is always super into his lectures and just great to listen to. The most down to earth professor on campus. All the quiz questions online are on the midterm and final. If you want a awesome class i would highly recommend taking his class. I wish he taught everything
very well respected professor and I understand why. He gives amazing lectures, has an amazing energy every class along with being very honest and straightforward. He gives you the chance to do the best you can do, at the end of the day it is up to you do do your work and projects, and help your group. He is a very lovable professor. would recommend
Professor Hyland is literally one of the best professors Ive took at wcc. Dont take him online, better to take him in person and youll see how great he is. Do the work the best you can and you should have no problem getting an A.
Teaches you a lot about life in general. Most professors just teach the subject, he teaches how to uses the subject in scenarios.
A great professor to take for this class. He is clear with his instructions, he teaches using personal life experiences, and he is motivated to help all of his students. I highly recommend this class.
One of the best professors you'll ever know. He's hilarious and can teach you by just telling stories from his business world experience.
Easy to understand professor.
Professor Hyland was on my bad side from the moment I started the class. I annoyed him a lot because I am an A student, and just wanted more in-depth instructions. After really speaking to him, I noticed, HE IS AWESOME! I am taking him for all of my other business classes. He is honest, upfront, and will help you with whatever you need.. JUST ASK!
AMAZING PROFESSOR VERY DETAILED ON SYLLABUS AND IS VERY INTERACTIVE WITH STUDENTS DURING CLASS AND IS OPEN TO HELP STUDENTS WHO ARE WILLING TO DO THE WORK PASS.
Professor Hyland is by far the best professor I've had at WCC, ever! He gives inspiration to all students to succeed. If you've had him then you're lucky, if not then you should take one of his classes. Funny and tells good life stories.
He is an amazing professor and highly respected by everyone in my class. 10/10 would recommend to everyone who can or will take him... you wont regret it !! Also, he is always down to take whether it is for class or just a casual conversation. Great professor, great person !!
The class itself was normal. Be sure to read the syllabus and do the quizzes. The way blackboard was formatted made it confusing for me to understand, but you have to make sure to do the quizzes because you only get one shot. Good luck!
Honestly such a great professor, I had him for online classes and he really cares about your grades. He gave us quizzes but he would let us take them multiple times until we got a 100 to prepare us for the midterm and final. The key terms honestly really helped. I would totally take him again if I needed to. He will also give you rally good advice!
Professor Hyland is one of kind he is more like a mentor and cares about his students. He makes sure you learn even if that means going into breakout rooms to work with your peers which will break you out of your shyness, I appreciated that. he will test you before class to see if you read the chapters so READ! I will take him again for sure.
If you show up, you pass means that you have to participate to understand the concepts. Your grade is earned and not necessarily a given. You must respect others at all times in the class in language, the manner in which you address your classmates, and in your body language. You should not schedule appointments during this session. He is fair.
Professor Hyland is great and caring. But his classes are hard if you want to pass the course you need to put in the work.
Professor Hyland is truly an exceptional person overall. He combines the powerpoints and lectures with his own life stories to keep us engaged. He also loves to teach us life lessons and cares about us as well, often asking how our weekend was or if we have any questions on our careers. Surely an incredible professor!
Professor Hyland is truly knowledgeable and brings a wealth of experience to this course. He brings personal work experiences and clear and true examples to illustrate the point he is trying to make. The value of this course is not broadly promoted as it should. I am extremely satisfied with this course and the method adopted by Professor Hyland.
An awesome professor! Very patient and helpful and his way of teaching has helped me a lot comprehend even complex stuff.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class as a whole. I was challenged in ways that I didn't think that I would be able to handle and at times, I wasn't sure if I was sure if I was taking the right class. This class is not for the timid. If you are looking for a challenge, this is a great class to prepare you for the business world.
You do the work you respect each other youll be good I would take him again as I had him many times all times passed with him being caring as a professor as if you need to email, he emails back.
I loved this class & really learned a lot. As long as you keep up with the quizzes on blackboard and pay attention in class youll do fine.
Ive taken classes with Professor Hyland 3 times. Easily in all my years of education he comes out on top as my favorite teacher. Gives good insight and personal experience to help his students and engages the entire class (group projects). If you have the chance to take his courses, DO IT.
Great Professor! Amazing lectures giving real life experience, not just a robot giving facts. Great sense of humor and constantly looking for ways to help each student according to their needs. Give lectures, group projects, class time to do hw, a little bit of everything .Knows how to keep everyone engaged. Would definitely take again .
One of the best professors I've had so far at WCC he's super chill and funny he gives a lot of useful information in the course, he always asks if you have any questions if you're confused about something. It's easy to pass the class if you just do the quizzes and the final project at the end of the course. I definitely recommend this professor.
Professor Hyland is a very caring teacher and puts genuine effort into helping each one of his students to do their best in class. He's big on class participation and his lectures are very engaging. I'd highly recommend taking his class.
I have taken this professor the past 3 semesters and I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite professors at WCC. Very nice, humorous and someone who can give advice when you need it. Overall great professor and highly recommended.
Professor Hyland is a great professor as he taught his lectures extremely well and always offered to help us with not only class information by everyone's problems, he was always prepared with the lecture and after class, we would talk about real-time issues in the work and have loads of discussions together. I highly recommend professor Hyland.
You can tell that he actually cares about us as students and not just about looking good for the job, teaches in a way unlike any other. 11/10
Very captivating, classes are never boring. Connects lecture material to real-life, encourages students to participate and challenge him. Projects are cool and he's an easy grader. Do the work and you will get an A. Wish I could take him again.
Best professor I took at WCC he is very respectful and his work is very light. There are group projects in his classes ive taken 3 of them and they are throughout the semester and present at the end but they are not too bad. Hs stories he shares are the best because they are real life stories that fit into what we are learning in the class Take him
Hyland is very understanding person he will give you feedback on your projects he's very organize on his lecture he's an amazing professor he will give you some tips about life, he will give you extra credit if you did bad on your midterm he will give you another opportunity by doing extra credit you will get a final paper due and presentation.
Professor Hyland cares about his students. I enjoyed his class, but lol never a fan of Excel!!! He take the class seriously, you should definitely pay attention on the class and prepare for midterm/final test. He is very cool and makes u feel very comfortable with him. Had a great semester and Thanks to professor Hyland!
Very helpful when you have an issue with grading or homework.
Professor Hyland is so wise and always ready to help his students. He is organized, making it easier for the students to manage their time and ensure they are prepared for the classes, presentations, and tests. He treats and respects us as adults, making us respect him even more and learn to act like adults before our responsibilities. By Stella!
Professor Hyland is one of the best professors at Westchester Community College. His lectures are interesting and knows how to keep his students engaged. There are multiple assignments but they are very easy and straightforward. He wants every single one of his students to succeed. Definitely recommend taking his classes!
Professor Hyland is really great, class is super easy too. BUT all he talks about are stories from his past, you'll never get lectured about the topic in class. Literally, the stories take up the entire class time and it's annoying so if you want an easy A, take him. All quizzes are online and you get one a week, super easy.
They'll see for themselves.
Professor Hyland is very clear about his requirements and grading for the course. If you get your work done, and do it well, you will easily succeed through this course. He cares about each of his students. 10/10 professor. Would absolutely take again.
Professor Hyland is a very good professor, as he teaches you many ways to become successful in the business world.
Professor Hyland, honestly is one of the best professors that I took at WCC. He knows how to keep his students engaged. I have taken him for 3 past semesters. For me Personally, he was not only a professor, also he looked like a father by sharing with us his life-stories. Doing your work and you will get an A. I highly recommend professor Hyland.
Professor Hyland is the best professor in WCC. He cares about all his students and teaches you many life skills. He contributes to our knowledge and lectures with experience and understanding. He is very smart and kind and would 100% take any of his classes again. I believe he is one of the smartest people out there and truly wants you to succeed.
Really nice professor a lot of life stories which are interesting. Clear about everything we need to know about the class, helps and teaches us about everything we need to know about the professional world. Really easy class just do the work and you will be fine. He is also really flexible with deadlines. would 100% take him again If I can.
Very understanding and amazing. He would always rant about his stories which were funny. In general he is very nice and kind.
Took my online course with professor Hyland with the intentions of it going to be a challenge and struggle but he made it super easy and helped me with all my concerns and answered any of my issues I was having truly a amazing professor and everyone should be glad to have him as a professor
A professor who actually cares and wants to connect with his students. Highly recommend!
Prof. H is really good! I took him for MGT 215 online asynchronous course. He assigns a couple discussions, exams that are unlimited per try, and 1 project that takes a lot of work but he is really good by far!
Taking my first online class was exciting! Professor Hyland made learning enjoyable with weekly videos and thoughtful responses to my questions. His Columbia diploma inspired me, and his book, Management 4.0, is a must-read—filled with wisdom and practical insights. He's a classy, kind educator. I highly recommend this course. Happy Holidays!
Professor Hyland makes this class super engaging. His lectures are fascinating, and he connects the material to real-world examples. I found Unstuck study and the free textbook really helpful for studying and preparing for tests. Would definitely take another class with him.
Professor Hyland is a great professor. His lectures are interesting and he knows how to engage with the class. He gives some group presentations, but they are not that difficult. Just do the work and study the material before class and you'll be fine.
Professor Hyland's lectures are highly engaging and insightful. He integrates real-life stories into his teaching, which makes the material easier to understand. The online quizzes serve as effective study guide for both the midterm and final. Overall, Professor Hyland's performance is exceptional, and I highly recommend him to other students.
Great teacher
Rick Hyland is a great professor who has real world knowledge in the business field Fun class - just show up, put in minimal effort and get an A
Back in my time at Westchester Community College, Mr. Hyland was honestly the best business professor ever. I remember him being such a big support system for me back in my sophomore year. He is very kind, understanding, and reliable and truly cares for his students. If you need anything, he is just one email away. He's a great guy all around!
Prof Hyland is incredibly engaging with the material and brings valuable real-world experience, offering priceless advice on both career paths and life. He genuinely wants to see his students succeed. Grading is clear and fair, success in the class requires real effort; putting in the minimum won't work. Start your papers early! 10/10 Person/Prof
Greatness 10/10
Awesome professor!!! He's engaging and I loved hearing his stories. Make sure you turn in all the quizzes and extra credit bc they're super easy bumps to your grade and due whenever. He tells you about the final project at the beginning so you definitely have enough time to work on it.
Great Professor. Read the material and practice the quizzes and you will do good. It's easy to reach the professor, and get clarifications if you have any.
He is an excellent teacher who genuinely cares about his students. He will be helpful and respond quite instantly. To give you time to complete it before the last day of school, he informs you about a final paper on the first day of class. You will do well on the midterm and final exams if you study the quizzes.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS OR ANY OTHERS IF YOU ARE ONLINE. I'm sure that this professor is a great person, I am also sure he thinks he is doing best by his students, but throwing mass amounts of work is not a good way to teach. It feels like a job, and it is draining. Taking this class is worse than getting a job, at least you get paid.
Great Professor, professional, friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about topics he teaches, humble with a "real world" flavor. Treats you as the "customer" and gives clear expectations. Always available for help and tries to explain things.
BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!!!. I no longer attend WCC but this teacher has put in perspective how a high level class should be taught. Just follow the work assigned and put at most an hour or 2 into the work a week and you will succeed in his class. Had to come back and rave about the best professor I've ever had.
My professor was the best professor I have ever had. His teaching style was clear and easy to understand, and he always explained the material in a simple way. When I was struggling mentally, he supported me, believed in me, and gave me a chance that helped me get back on track.
Makes it seem like He is your friend, He Isnt! 🫤🫤
Professor Hyland is one of the best professors I've had at WCC. I've taken classes with him twice, and he is consistently clear, fair, and supportive. His laid-back teaching style makes class engaging, and he genuinely wants students to succeed. Highly recommend.
