I loved his class. He is so funny! I am surprised he does not have more ratings. He's really easy. All you have to do is make sure you take the notes he gives you so be sure to come into class or you'll fall behind. You don't really need the book. He gives out power point presentations with all the information needed. He's fantastic, take him!
his class is really easy! all you have to do is be there every time. he gives powerpoints so no need for a book. as long as you study his notes his class is easy. he also reviews before tests are given. mostly multiply choice! TAKE HIM! he is also very very funny
Hes a very easy teacher. You just need to go to class take notes (have an extra pen because too many notes) but thats all youll need to pass your tests, all the anwsers are in your notes an he will tell you which is the anwser. Hes also very funny. Youll enjoy his class! Hes an easy A.
VERY GOOD TEACHER....VERY EASY ..YOU NEED TO ATTEND EVERY CLASS AND COPY ALL YOUR NOTES AND HAVE AN EASY A...DONT NEED TO BUY THE BOOK....TEST VERY SIMPLE...JUST LOOK IN YOUR NOTES...I RECOMEND VERY NICE TEACHER!!
Very good teacher and He is easy too. You review before every test or the day before so you should know exactly whats on the test. You do not need your book but it helps if you need extra info on papers but you should be good with your notes. Hes easy, helpful and funny. Take him and you wont regret it.
best teacher!! he is the greatest teacher ever
I learned a lot on History in this class!Very intesting, Reallygood teacher! He made the class a breeze, we took a lot of notes & revied for class off a Study Guide
He is the best teacher! I learned a lot from his class. Before, i found geography boring, but with him its so interesting. He makes his class funny by making jokes. his test are easy you just have to memorize some maps ( Very important) and review your notes. A 4 hrs class with him will feel like 1 hr :D i recommend him! Best, and greatest teacher!
Very wonderful professor! Basically we took copious notes, reviewed for tests, and listen to Professor Herbert's interesting and funny stories of his family. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a fun class!
Mr. Herbert is such a funny professor and very intelligent also. He likes to joke around a bit in class to liven us up. There's no way you can fail his class. He covers all the material that will be on the test. Attendance is a must! There's a lot of note taking in this class, so study them! Make sure you do your writing assignments.
Love him he is so funny and he makes you feel loved!: ) I personally do not like history but he made it so fun !
honestly hated history before i took his class.he likes to joke around to make you feel comfortable.likes to talk about his family a lot and hes hilarious,awesome teacher too bad hes retiring. would always tease me for writing cornell notes
The class is an easy A. He goes over the test material thoroughly so there is no excuse for not getting a good grade. Herbert jokes around a lot so the class goes by quickly, overall a fun and easy class, i highly recommend.
Awesome Teacher! We need more teachers like him at IVC.
He covers everything on the tests in his Powerpoints, no textbook required; he even reviews the material before the tests.
He is so funny. Makes a lot of jokes during class. Overall, the class is really easy. We take A LOT of notes and he gives us every answer to Tests. We also review. Theres no reason for failing. Dont be absent, though.
I love his class! History is not my fav subject but he makes it interesting and easy to understand. We take A LOT of notes. But everything on the notes has the answers to the test! The book is not required unless you're absent then you need it! He's very funny which makes the class not boring and interesting :) I recommend this class to everyone.
He's funny, he always jokes about his life and if it sounds offensive he apologizes lol. Very laid-back, really into the subject. He uses power points and tells you exactly whats on the test. Says you need the textbook for studying but you really don't. Study your notes and DONT SKIP, and it'll be a breeze. I'd take him again.
mr herbert was by far one of my favorite teachers ive ever taken. he is funny and really passionate about history. if you take his class you will not regret it and you dont need the text book. study your notes and you are guaranteed to pass
Mr. Herbert is an awesome teacher. He teaches to the point. Very knowledgeable. He is hilarious. Loud voice, looks like he is mad but he is not. Love this class.
Mr. Herbert was my favorite teacher last semester! Made me look forward to being in class every other day, which is really rare, read ur notes before the test and you'll be straighter than Ricky Martin in 09. if u miss, u'll miss notes and ultimately answers on the test. Choose ur absent days wisely or just make sure ur friends txt u the notes.
Just take good clear notes, fill out his super helpful study guide, and you're good. I recommend to make index cards, lots of definitions. It's a class you will never get tired of, he makes it a good environment because he never shuts up about his life and he will put you in a good mood. Power point notes, super easy and fun class.
If you show up every day not only will you get extra credit for having perfect attendance, but it also means you will have all the notes and they are crucial for doing good on the tests.
Mr. Herbert is awesome Not much hw Easy test No quiz You wont regret taking his class Keeps entertain during class :)
Note taking for his class is essential! He makes class entertaining and he has a sense of humor. Look forward to 4 essays, 5 tests. Do the extra credit because it'll help a lot and having perfect attendance will give you extra cred as well. His grading is very fair, I would take him again!
Awesome!
Mr. Herbert is a great professor! Make sure to take all notes because you will need them to help you pass all of your test. Book is not mandatory, even though he might say it is. However, attendance is. I suggest you make a friend incase you are absent you can copy the notes!! I'm telling you these notes are crucial!! Writing assignments are easy!
You take A LOT of notes in class. He has a power point and he tells you exactly what is going to be on the test. If you study your notes, you'll pass. Tests are what counts.
He is very hilarious. Makes history interesting. Easy passing grade just take a lot of notes and you will pass the class. Whatever you copy in your notes that is what's going to be on the test.
You don't need the textbook since the content underlined in his power points are on the tests. But if you're the person who misses class a lot, you'll miss the notes and have to basically wing it with your own notes. He gives you study guides for your notes but his notes are better. Super funny, enjoyed being in his class.
I'm not the type of person to like history but this class was honestly my favorite. He makes the material super easy to learn and he only makes you write what will be on the test instead of extra notes. He's also super hilarious and makes the class very fun and interesting.
Mr. Herbert is a wonderful professor. He made time fly in class with his hilarious remarks and funny stories. I would highly recommend him!
Mr. Herbert is probably the best professor I've had at IVC. I would totally recommend him to everyone. His lectures will never bore you. I can guarantee that you will learn in his class. Amazin professor!
Mr. Herbert is a New York native and Army veteran. He's hilarious and teaches History with great enthusiasm! I enjoyed his lectures and PowerPoint presentations, because it helped me while taking notes in class. I'd definitely take another class of his!
BEST TEACHER EVER !
Mr. Herbert is a funny professor that also teaches well. I didn't use the book at all and easily passed the class with an A. He talks about his family a lot so if you're not into that then look elsewhere, but other than that he's pretty good. Your grade depends a lot on tests though so make sure to do the study guides.
he's super hilarious, and i honestly felt like i learned a lot in his class. one of my favorite professors tbh!
take all the notes. study them. tests are what matter. hes a good teacher
Good teacher
The most amazing teacher you can ever get !
He is an amazing teacher that really cares about you passing class, he gives you many extra opportunities sometimes . His jokes & stories make class super fun. Textbook not really needed, just good notes from the powerpoints. What was going to be on the test he made it easy for you by underlining it in his powerpoints &reviewed before each test.
I really enjoyed his class. His stories are really funny and his class is really straightforward. I didn't buy the book and I had over 100%. 10/10 recommend.
He's super chill. Don't be rude or walk out during movies. Take notes you just memorize them. Doesn't cancel class much but the class was easy.
Mr. Herberts class in the winter was great because we just took notes in class but he always made his lectures funny. A few writing assignments for homework. Pay attention and study and you will pass his class.
Took a the winter class, it is extremely easy, few writing assingments, no need to purchase the book, however there is a lot of note taking, but tests are based on the notes, test are very easy as well, I highly recommend this class.
Mr. Herbert makes boring history interesting. He does get off subject a lot but I prefer that over a professor just lecturing for an hour straight. All you have to do is show up people. Sometimes he lets you use notes on the tests so dont be absent but honestly the class is so easy you dont even need them! Easy easy A
One of the best teachers on campus, it's just impossible to fail his class. Tests are extremely easy, he's laid back, gives study guides, and gives extra credit opportunities. He makes lectures fun, though can get side tracked. Attendance matters, as tests are power-point based and are multiple choice answers. You DON'T need the book by the way.
Very great professor! Makes history fun, tests are based on power points so attendance is mandatory! Gives extra credit. I would take him for every class if he taught them all!
Makes class entertaining. Makes Power Points easy to understand. Tell us what is needed to be written down and what will be on the test. If said it's on the test MEMORIZE IT. Summer class was about 3-4 writing assignments, easy to do, and one of the assignment is extra credit. Its an easy A, especially for someone who doesn't enjoy the subject.
Hes an amazing teacher, I strongly reccommend everyone to take his class. It is an easy A, he let you use your notes in some tests, and tests are really easy.
Mr. Herbert was a real gem & blessing to IVC! I wish that we had more professors like him. After your first day, you'll definitely love the class because of how fun & entertaining the lectures were. His teaching is very straightforward and you'll definitely learn from him. He gives plenty of extra credit, so go for it all! Strongly recommended! :)
Such a good teacher!! Test are very easy!! Just make sure you take notes and youll be good. Some writing assignments but still easy. Isnt homophobic nor sends students in dsps. Not even close to that like someone said. If you want a jokester hes the one
I personally did not like Mr. Herbert's teaching style at all. I found that he would spend most of the lecture talking about completely unrelated stuff and would then rush through the slides because he had wasted our time talking. Meanwhile his class is extremely easy, I found him to be extremely frustrating. Gets mad when you use the restroom too.
Mr. Herbert is a funny professor that also teaches well. Your grade depends a lot on tests writting assigmenres and attendence though so make sure to do the study and do the work he dose let you go to the restrom and also gives good feed back . he always reviews befor the test and also verry observent and is nice. also dont use your cellphone
Great professor, does let you go to the restroom, and also is extremely funny. He literally gives you the answers to the test and all you have to do is memorize them. Would definitely take him again! So caring.
Has long lectures but he does tell what exactly will be on the test so just pay attention. Doesnt require a textbook and assigns a few assignments which are easy. Highly recommend.
Really great professor! His way of teaching is really unique and his class is interesting and fun. He is really strict with attendance and he DOES let you go to the restroom. He cares a lot about his students and always tries his best for everyone to pass the class. One of the best professors Ive taken at IVC.
im just rating him cause he wants to be a 5.0 im joking im joking, hes a great teacher and i enjoyed his class very much. hes funny and cares about his students. if you give him chocolate hell give you extra credit
Really easy professor, no book required, all you got to do is show up, copy what he wants and you should pass easiest A of your life
He is a great teacher! I really enjoyed his class at first i thought omg he talks alot but he has great stories that relate to topics he is discussing. If you miss class you will miss info that will be on the test! easy A but i missed a few classes! everything you need to know for exams are on the slides he shows during class.
It wasnt a difficult course. Herbert is a great Professor in my opinion. He cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. He will call you out in front of everyone if you dont do the easy homework assignments or if you are on your phone. He will drop your grade if you miss a lot of class. Show up, do the easy little assignments and pass.
Really loved this teacher! Hes really funny and does really good lectures. I learned a lot from him!
Mr. Herbert is a really good and easy teacher. He gives you a study guide with the material that will be covered in the test, it is up to you if you don't want to study. Also, be prepared to write a lot, he provides you the notes for the study guide. No homework, and only 4 tests. there are 3 writing assignments and extracredit assignments.
Mr. Herbert is a good profesor, gives many details on each topics especially on topics on the World war 1 and 2 and the Vietnam war(he is a Veteran). he goes out of topic sometimes but very worthy professor, you only need the notes to study for the test. I do Recommend to take him.
He has some comments and questions that should be kept out of a class setting. He allows disruptive and disrespectful behavior in class. This made my class experience less enjoyable. I would not recommend Mr. Herbert as a teacher to anybody unless you are okay with rude and disrespectful comments and remarks.
Really amazing teacher!! Great sense of humor! Very nice guy, gives you opportunities to make up all tests if you talk to him! Will let you turn in writing assignments one day late!! It is super easy to pass his class, if you don't end up with an A you really tried to fail. If you have perfect attendance he will give you extra points. Best teacher!
Herbert is an amazing professor. His lectures are a lot and there's a lot to study. If you fail , you didn't try at all. He gives out extra credit and with perfect attendance you get extra credit also. Pretty easy class.
I took his class during the Winter semester for history 121. He is a great professor and he also knows how to make a lecture fun.
Mr. Herbert was literally one of the best professors I've had. Even though he would go off topic a lot, you still learned from his class. His tests are literally based off the slides and he lets you use notes on some tests. Don't listen to those that didn't like his class. He also makes a ton of funny jokes.
Great class learned a lot. He is really funny. He gets off topic and tells stories about his life but it's enjoyable. He doesn't fail you if you have good attendance. I highly recommend taking this class, he's a teacher you'll remember.
He'll raise his voice at you and he doesn't care if you're sensitive he even never apologize when it's necessary I don't recommend him to take any history classes not even geography classes because he really doesn't have no self-respect towards students. I took it in summer 2019 in person before the pandemic. He's mean I recommend a different prof.
Mr. Herbert made class entertaining as well as informative. He joked around to lighten the ambience and to help the class feel important. He was an easy-going instructor who cared a bout the academic and personal welfare of his students.
Awesome professor he really made his class fun. I enjoyed going to his class everyday and his story's were hilarious. Class is easy just make sure you study all the notes. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent professor. Took him in the fall of 2022, he's quite an old professor and spring 2023 is going to be his last year before retirement. Absolute gem of a professor and one of a kind. He knows how to make his class entertaining and makes his lectures easy to pick up. Attendance is mandatory and he gives a few extra credit opportunities.
Mr Herbert is one of my favorite teachers. He lectures a lot but you only need to copy the bolded text. He has 3 tests and the final and for most of them you can use your notes. He often goes off topic about his family but we get through the curriculum in time. After I took this class I now know more about this mans' family than history.
Mr Hebert was the one class I actually looked forward to. Talked so much about his family, the course should've been Fam120. Even though I got a C, which was my fault, his class was still easy and simple. Made history an interesting topic. Sad to know he's retiring next year. I wish you a nice retirement Mr Hebert. - Yankees
He was a cool professor talked a bit to much of his family but it was funny stories that made everyone chuckle or smile. He did like to tease people but in a funny way. Just do your work and you'll pass the class with ease he sometime let's you use your notes for quiz.
This was one of the best history classes I've taken, it was easy and fun, and Mr. Herbert had a lot of knowledge and answers for everybody.
Loved going to Professor Hebert's class this semester. I especially enjoyed listening to his lectures and stories about his past. His class is very easy as long as you show up and study his notes.
10/10 amazing teacher, great lectures, gets a little off-topic, but you learn alot you have very few assignments, and he provides extra credit, attendance is important and counts towards your grade.
Took class spring 23 amazing teacher often talked about all thing family and his experience he grew up along the history timeline cool stories. He gives 3 total writing assignments but no HW. Keep up with notes and you'll have all the answers to writing assign. And Tests may be open book or reviewed in class before test date. 10/10 class.
This class is great and enjoyable. He is also really funny and if you just listen to his lectures and study the notes you'll easily pass.
Professor was really amazing. He des lectures and in some tests we could refer to those notes. He tells a lot of funny stories.
Herbert was a good teacher. Tests were very easy sometimes he even lets you use notes. Just take notes and do your work you're chilling in the class. He also tells stories that make you laugh. So long as you listen to him complain about his wife you'll be alright. Class is very entertaining
Mr. Herbert is a great teacher his test are pretty easy. He would let you use notes for some of his exams. Doesn't give many assignment and he tells you a lot of stories about his life. He is a really fun teacher and makes class more intertaining.
Very good teacher, stay focus, and don't miss any classes.
I'm a DSPS student and I was requesting for accommodations and was very dismissive and he told me, "just don't be a disruption to the class". Very easy class at least. Do not take him if you are disabled and need accommodations :(
