He is really hard and he teachers alot of students so hell never have time to help you. homework every class. worsts teacher ever. and he loves to compare hes problems to card games. so if you dont know anything about card games, dont take this class

Possibly the worst teacher I've ever had. He stands in the front of class and blabs for 50 minutes and never makes sense. He confuses everybody, including himself. Tests are not too hard, but you have to teach yourself the material because he's useless.

He is really confusing during lectures. I end up having to teach myself most of the information to do the homework.

Halfway through the semester, I stopped going to class and scheduled regular tutoring appointments instead. Lectures were confusing, rushed, and it was hard to read his writing. He was not very receptive to questions. Tests are short (10 multiple choice) and he does not give half credit. Weekly homework is difficult but weekly quizzes are easy.

I am only writing this to help future students not make the same mistakes I did. Class is a waste of time, but go for the handouts. If you can, get a tutor and take full advantage of your TA. Herbert is a horrendous teacher, going along with Tulane's abysmal Math department. Good luck.

Never pick his course! He has terrible handwriting but he is unwilling to use powerpoint! He sometimes does not what he is talking about during class, and his explanations to some questions even make things worse and more complicated.

He goes really fast and his handwriting is illegible. He's a smart guy but following his lectures is useless. Tests are short and no partial credit. But the handouts and review sheets are good.

Steer clear of Herbert if you want a hands-on professor. He is difficult to contact and often refuses to answer student emails or even their questions during class. The syllabus is unclear, so it is difficult to determine where you stand in the class. His lectures are also largely uninformative, and I only survived, not thrived, with outside help.

Robert Herbert is a terrible teacher. In class the way he teaches is on a video camera that projects what he's writing on a screen, and he covers what he writes with his hand most of the time and talks through very important details that are missed on the board so its difficult to follow. His tests are 11 q's so if u miss one youre down a grade.

Gives 11 Q multiple choice tests, one homework a week Bad at explaining things, often gets confused and says/writes the wrong thing. Not great at answering questions. Not reachable by email or canvas. Handwriting makes it hard to see what he wrote and he's a lefty so he smudges it too. Frequently has technology issues.

Take another teacher. Does not care about his students, will refuse to answer questions in class, 3 tests which include topics he FORGETS to teach (this is unbelievable, but this has happened and he flats out admitted it). I repeat, take another teacher if you want to save your GPA.

The worst math professor I've ever had. Very harsh grader and terrible at teaching. He does not explain the concepts at all and just write the example assuming you will understand without explaining. The concepts are very hard but if you are not willing to learn on your own or get a tutor you will not pass. Not a nice person either.

Probably the worst professor. If Tulane is going to make this class part of the core requirements, they should really be more diligent in who they hire to teach it. Everyone is absolutely miserable in the class because this guy is intolerable. Handwriting is impossible to read so attendance is pointless. Doesn't respond to emails. Avoid!!

I just want to preface with my frustration with the fact that this class was almost IDENTICAL to what I learned in AP Stats in high school, but my AP credit did not get me out of this class. Herbert is the most boring, unhelpful math professor I've ever had. Tests are MC with 11 questions and no partial credit. It's worth taking the 8AM over him.

Dr. Herbert is a nice guy, if you can find him. The subject itself is easy, as are the tests, but god forbid you need any help. Countless classmates of mine needing accommodation were ignored, especially when class was online. Case workers had to literally chase him down to receive any much-needed help. Awful professor, easy class.

Professor Herbert might be the worst teacher at Tulane. Half the time, it feels like he has no idea what he's talking about. He is completely unreachable by email and makes typos on his 11 question exams. AVOID at all costs.

Dr. Herbert is probably the worst professor I've ever had. He forgets what he's saying mid-sentence half the time and can't teach for the life of him. He doesn't seem to care about his students at all. Our final is tomorrow and he has not even told us the format or what time it is yet. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Herbert does not know how to teach his class, and it was even worse because our class was hybrid online and in-person. He is also impossible to reach outside of class, so if your struggling look elsewhere. Honestly, his lectures made the assignments harder because he was so confusing. You have to teach yourself everything, he's the worst.

I would say go to class, but when he teaches he doesn't make sense. And its not like you can read his notes anyway. His organization is terrible, syllabus was inaccurate and unclear, and tests were especially hard. If you have not taken stats before you will have a difficult time, get a tutor!

actually the worst professor i've had. makes concepts that aren't too hard impossible because he barely teaches. his handwriting is HORRIBLE (and he's a lefty so he covers the words as he writes). makes many mistakes every class and is so scatterbrained. horrible at communicating. be prepared to teach yourself this entire course.

Dr. Herbert should not be at Tulane anymore. His notes are illegible as he is left handed and has horrible handwriting, he doesn't make any sense in his lectures, and he is impossible to contact. Its not even worth showing up to class because you will lose brain cells by siting in lecture. It's the definition of a "teach yourself" class.

Herbert's a horrible teacher. His lectures are mostly deriving formulas instead of explaining how to do the problems and his handwriting is illegible. The syllabus is vague, he won't respond to emails, and he doesn't allow partial credit on test/quizzes. 3 exams are worth 80%, so one bad grade will destroy you. if you have to take him, get a tutor.

Awful teacher. Just awful. There's no point going to class. You just have to teach yourself. If you fail a test you're screwed. Has never responded to any of my emails ever. Very difficult to access. Terrible handwriting.

Do not take this class, there are far better options. I have never made another review, but this class was so awful I felt obligated to leave a warning.

How is he a teacher a a university like tulane. You would think that they would look at a teachers handwriting before hiring them. If you get stuck with this class Im sorry

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

Taking this class is a huge mistake. Most kids often have to teach themselves all the material in order to pass. Very bad at communication lectures are often unintelligible, practice tests and homeworks are NOT reflective of what's actually on the test. No opportunity to improve grade if you do perform well on tests.

The lectures are basically useless. I found that doing the homework and the SI were the most useful way to learn the material. The tests are proportional to the homework but are not always worded very clearly.

You will learn essentially nothing from his lectures. I learned everything from the TA and from our math Groupme. You have to teach yourself in this class. It was one of the most frustrating classes I've ever taken.
