Math was no longer hard. He made it seen like sleeping or something easy. Very helpful and kind. Not uptight. He will laugh with you.
He explained everything in an way that we could understand if not he explained in another. He is the best math teacher and would take hime again. Please teach pre-cal/trig so I don't have to take anyone else. also, he was sooo funny!
He's such a great math teacher ! He's very clear and helpful! Oh yea...sooo funny and a big goofball also!He's the best!
great teacher i loved his style very imformative and understanding of how his students learn. i am looking forword to taking college alg with him.
Bob makes math easy to learn. He is very clear in explaining ideas, and very easy to understand. He makes math fun.
Originally I hated math, but now I actually want to learn new things. He's a fun guy and you'll have fun in his class.. make sure you do the H.W. and pay attention.
Bob was great. I hated math before this class. Got an A. You have to do the homework and show up for class, but it will make sense.
He's clear and a wonderful teacher
he was very very very helpful! i still look back at the notes i took from him for the math classes that i am in now. you will pass this class if you take it. i hated math but he helped me so much.
A wonderful teacher! At least one example of every type of h/w problem is done on the board during class. Grades tests VERY fairly -- you will be given points if you at least attempt the problem. I haven't had a math class for 4 yrs but he instructs so well that I feel like it was just yesterday!
Bob is a wonderful teacher. I never had a math teacher that was so euthastic towards a subject. Even though he had a tendency to trip over the floor in the class, and he always laughed at himself with his own errors.
Even though I dropped out of this course for personal reasons, I do recommend Bob Hervey. College algebra is difficult, but he works hard to help his students.
very smart very good teaching methods
I GET IT!!!!
He was amzing teacher they weren't lying about him. Bob (that's what he likes to be called)made me actually get math. In all honesty I got made grades on two of the five test. but I got a great grade on the exam and wind up with a very proud "C".if you are smart you will pick him.
very easy and helpful
Bob is a great instructor,I can't say enough good things about him. His teaching method is fantastic,I never had any trouble with the concepts he was throwing out. I haven't had an algebra course in over 6 years, yet with his help the lowest test score I got was a B and I only missed 1 on the final.
He's a very involved professor. I am an engineer major now at usf and remember taking him . He's the pnly professor that made you do problems on the board!Great teacher now that I look back.A+++++++
great teacher, and for math that says alot. hes very funy, and keeps things interesting.
wonderful wonderful teacher, very personable.
After not having Algebra for over 20 years, I was scared to death! Bob made it so easy. He is well organized and is available to help when you ask. The subject is tedious, but his sense of humor keeps you going. I hope to be as good a teacher someday. P.S. He loves math & Godiva dark chocolate!
Mr. Hervey is an excellent teacher. I took him for algebra as well as stats and he is very capable of conveying difficult concepts. He will make every effort to make you understand and get the grade you want. I also think his grading system is very fair. You will not regret taking any of his classes!
He is a great and funny teacher. I really hated math but I have a feeling that he is going to help me see it in a better way. I'm so glad he's not all boring and just working for money he seems to care about his students also
GOOD TEACHER ! Easy to understand!
No Comments
Bob is AWSOME!! I will take every math class that he teaches! Love ya, Bob!
Bob is so fun and makes the class cool. He is awesome and funny. Math is so much more fun now and easy to understand. Thanx Bob you are the best are also very caring.
Bob is an awesome teacher & makes math easier to understand than most teachers. However, if math is not your strong subject, DO NOT miss a class; he moves very fast!

Bob teaches a great algebra class. He was so clear and made sure everyone understood. He's also very approachable. I would highly recommend taking bob for your math classes! I used to think I had no idea about math but now think that it may just have been past teachers and not the subject.
Bob ROCKS! He makes the subject very easy to understand. He is very helpful, and caring, even entertaining.
I loved him. I took him for Beginners Algebra it was so much fun that I decided to take him again for Intermediate Algebra. He is a great teacher.
Very good teacher, explains subjects clearly to help you understand the math world with ease. Very smart professor, very organized and test aren't that hard as long as you study. Kinda strict about test and extra credit but he means well. Makes test bearable and he is very approachable if you need help with a subject. Take him for any math!
This is my third math class with Mr. Hervey. He is a qualified instructor that makes every effort to help you in whatever area you are struggling. Makes an effort to demonstrate on the board every type of problem on the test. Tests are not hard if you study the notes he gives in class, and are graded very fairly.
Such a geat professor. Really ares about his students and is willing to take time to make sure you understand the material. I took him twice and Im taking him for a third time this fall. Highly recommend this professor!
He was recommended to me by another professor at the school. He graded fairly and was very clear about the material. Easy A if you do the homework.
The best math instructor i've ever had, hands down! Its very easy to understand the concepts with his style as he uses different colors on the board so you can see the different parts of the problem. My efforts at 1033 19 years ago wasn't so good, but this time i expect an A! come to class, do the home work and pay attention, success will follow.
I HATE math yet got an A with Bob...He's honest, fair, thorough, funny and most of all a no "BS" kind of guy. Liked him so well that I took a couple of classes with him and recommend him to EVERYBODY! If you want to be treated with and/or learn to respect, this is the guy to beat! Bravo ROBERTO!
He is a fun teacher
Very HELPFUL if you have any questions. He has a no child left behind philosophy and that means he will keep teaching you until you understand. He is an AWESOME professor and I personally respect him for helping me understand math. I have never had another professor who would take the time to do that. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
great teacher! He makes things look so easy and is willing to help you at any time. Stat is not an easy course but he will try his hardest to make sure that everyone understands what is going on. STUDY STUDY STUDY !like i said the material is not that easy and he can only do so much.
Bob is great! His tests sometimes are a little difficult and his lectures are great I this is my 3rd semester in his class and love it
TOOK HIM FOR 1033 AND JUST REGISTERED FOR 1105. HE IS A GREAT TEACHER, VERY THOUROUGH AND PRETTY FUNNY.... I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS TEACHER. IF YOUR NOT THE BEST AT MATH TAKE HIM!!!
I found his teaching style difficult. We used his textbook (not ours) therefore we didnt have the problems in front of us to study at home. when you asked a question in class he seemed rather bothered and simply arrogant. the tests were nothing like homwork or lecture notes. no extra credit or partial credit. half the class failed. 3 tests+final
This is a very difficult class but he does a great job. There were 3 tests & 1 final (which counts for 20% as well as replaces your lowest test grade). If the test scores weren't high enough in one class, he would add points to the tests in his other classes. I took this class before with Hurley and had to drop it. Take Hervey for all math classes.
has easier explanation to concepts then textbook. Goes over homework to reinforce concepts learned previous class
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM. HE IS NOT ONLY BRILLIANT, BUT HAS A QUALITY ABOUT HIM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CONNECT WITH HIM ON A VERY DOWN TO EARTH LEVEL. HE PASSIONATE, WILLING TO HELP AND OVERALL AMAZING PROFESSOR.
HE IS NICE HUMAN BEING. IT'S FUN TO HAVE TEACHER LIKE BOB. AND HE IS VERY HELPFUL, TOO.
I did not like Bobs teaching styles. He only gives you 4 tests and an exam, and those are your only grades. he gives homework but never collects it or counts it as a grade so its pretty much impossible to do.The times that I did do it;i would end up spending hours for just one lesson. I had to give up. All the homework that i did resulted in D's.
I signed up for summer stats, after withdrawing from College Algebra. I didn't think I would do well in this course. However, Mr. Hervey's explanations made it a lot easier. Homework was not collected, but I did it anyway to understand what he was teaching and I got a B. I would sign up for College Algebra again, only if he were the professor.
I hate math a lot, A LOT, but Mr. Hervey totally got me through. I rearranged my entire work schedule to get him for mac 1105. Best teacher ever. I actually was digging math at the end. He really breaks it down.
Makes it easy. If you are really good at math, you might get bored. He dumbs it down for those that are not so good. He is funny. He is very clear with his expectations.
Not a very good teacher at all.. all you have are 3 test and one final. when he tells you to study for a test not all of the matieral that you studied is even on the test.
Also took for mac1105 during the summer. Love Bob! Best math teacher ever! Wish he was teaching calculus, also.
Bob, is the best math teacher you will ever have. I knew I was going to struggle through this class, but he goes way out of his way to help if you need it. He is always available, very friendly, and does not throw you any surprises. It's not an easy A, but if you want to learn from a great guy, who will teach you everything you need, take Bob.
Take Prof Hervey for Statistics. I thought this class was an easy A. Most students in his class receive A's and B's. You must attend class and take good notes to receive a good grade. His lectures are what you can expect on his tests. Review sheets he gives prior to exams extremely helpful.
Very enthusiastic about what he is teaching. He answers the phone, and will stay after class to discuss any concerns you may have. He is very clear about what is required of you as a student to make an A. I really enjoyed this class.
awesome teacher. he puts a spark in learning math. one of the best teachers i have ever had. i plan on taking all math classes with him.
Bob is an amazing math teacher. I do not enjoy math, and was very scared that I would not pass. I have an A in the class and I actually get the material. I plan on taking his class for a summer semester and for college algebra. I highly recommend him for anyone who struggles with math. He also creates a respectful enviorment with his class policies
Bob Hervey is awesome!! (He told us to call him "Bob" the first day). He is VERY knowledgeable about his subject and he is always willing to help. I am not a math person at all and in an accelerated summer course I was able to get a "B." He gives like, five examples of each type of problem and goes over homework problems on the board if you want.
He is an amainzing teacher!, with a lot fo energy, and funny. I'm not good at math, but he is a great teacher,he teach step by step all problems.. true that you only have 3 test + the final, but if you study the review and practice some problems from the book, you'r going to be fine. TEST ARE NOT HARD! believe me!
bob is a great teacher! dont take this class in the summer if you are slower in math. i had to drop the pace was too fast. he would teach a lesson one day, and have a test the next day. would only reccomend if you are good in math for summer term.
Bob is the best. Simple as that. My only beef with him is that his tests tend to be a little difficult. I've had him for previous classes, and he has given me a strong foundation in mathematics. But, I would not recommend taking him in the summer, as a matter of fact DO NOT TAKE MATH IN THE SUMMER!! IT'S A TRAP! But even still Bob is great.
This dude, prefer you to call him "Bob", teaches you alot of information. I study on avg. of 5 hrs for his tests. I got 98% of the question correct and wrote down the correct formula and concept. He still will only give me 3/10 points for the question. His tests are usually 12 questions, worth around 8-10 points each, all short answers.
Your grade is 100% based on your test. Its true he does take alot of points off on the test, different amount for different people for the same mistake, I've checked. I think he makes the test short because his too lazy to grade them since its all short answer. If he don't like you, then you can count on more points off his short answers.
'Bob' is a great math teacher! I took him for summer session and learned a lot. He is easy to understand and keeps his students smiling. You will have to study and show that you understand what your doing; his test are short and he gives partial credit;) All around a great guy and very fair!
Hervey was a good teacher. He explains lessons clearly and makes it easy to learn. ALL test are short answer with no more than 20 questions. If you are not good at showing your work DONT TAKE him. Study groups would be helpful!
Awesome professor! Extremely helpful, very friendly. You will have to work, but if you don't get a good grade it's your own fault. All around great professor!
One of those teachers that assume you know what your doing. He also doesn't care if your bleeding from the eye balls, he expects you in class.
Awesome teacher, not an easy class. Always available to provide excellent help, I would take bob for any math class. Real laid back, down to earth kinda guy. Attendance is mandatory for doing good and learning in any class.
This Instructor is amazing... I always hated math because I couldn't understand it. He has a great teaching style and he is very good at making sure you understand what is going on. Just don't miss a class. I would take any class that he teaches!!!!! GREAT INSTRUCTOR!
Probably one of the best teachers I have had at this school. Broke all steps down very well. For the test you do it without a scantron so he rewards you points for each step making the tests a bit easier.
He moves fast, but this is a fast class. He'll slow down to explain, if you ask him. Great teacher!!
I took pre-algebra and college Algebra with Bob. Awesome teacher!! if you do your homework to practice and take good notes you will pass the class easy. He is very fair with his tests. Funny class. I don't like math however I never thought i would pass both classes with A. Take him. Sometimes is has to teach fast!!
extremely strict on test, no bonus questions, prohibits use of calculator on precalc test
Bob is the best. He's clear on how to complete problems, and he will never leave you stranded if you dont understand something. Hes funny, and quite the morning person!
no bonus question on test. some questions on test were not easy to understand. did not permitted calculator on test.doesn't provide a chance to bring your grade up.
i HATE math. i failed this class with a different professor. bob is the BEST. he motivates yu to want to come to class..engages the wholeee class in his lectures and is very clear on how to do the work. he uses worksheets to better understand and have for studying. i would recommend this tearcher to ANYONE. especially people who struggle in math
Bob is simply the best...great sense of humor, good clarity, and leaves no one behind... those who failed were the ones who didnt show up or left early during class...they didnt know sh*t... anyway, I am not the best at math but he makes it a bit easier to manage. Oh and the textbook is only used for homework...
EXCELLENT MATH TEACHER...IM DEFINITELY NOT A MATH WIZ BUT I ENJOYED HIM ALOT BECAUSE HE WAS VERY CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE WHEN HE TAUGHT..I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
This teacher is AWSOME!!! I wish i could of sighned up for him again but he was all taken. He makes teaching fun and he step by step. He will make sure you understand. Really the bests BOBBY =)
Great class. Algebra isn't my favorite thing, but I enjoyed his class and Bob made it fun. He lectures a little on the faster side, probably more than I would like but workable. Do the homework and attend class.
Best teacher I have had so far. I will be very well prepared for my next math class.. Considering this was a summer class I found it to be very stress-free and easy to grasp.
If you need to take MAT 0024 this is the teacher you want to have. He makes sure your familiar with assignments, & tests, and worksheets. I've returned to school after 35 yrs and he made math fun. Best college teacher I've ever had. N.P.
Professor hervey is wonderful! I was very hesitant to take a summer math class cause Ive never been great @ math. He explains things so they're crystal clear. Show up every day, and make sure to study and do the homework and review tests- I got a B in the class (1st B in math ever!) Highly recommended Professor! EC
Good Teacher, He kept the notes nice and simple. Better then learning from the book like others teachers try to do....
By far the best Math professor I ever had! His sense of humor & passion makes you appreciate Math more than ever. However, get ready for tons of HW's, 5 test, & a final if you take this course in the summer. Need to understand & grasp what he taches every single day. DO NOT get behind & do not fear! You will pass if you do your homeworks!
Mr. Hervey is the best teacher I've ever had. He keeps me interested in my worst subject... math. I absolutely reccomend this man, he is AWESOME!
One of the best teachers I have had at hcc, Have taken multiple classes with him. Has a great sense of humor he isnt dull, he keeps you interested and participating. Even someone who is horrible at math (like me) can understand when he is teaching. Do your work, do your homework. Pay attention in class and it will be a breeze
Great! He works really well with his techniques in showing you how to solve each problem. Goes over, and over it until you get it. Will not move on until everyone has got it. If he was teaching 1033 I would take him. Very intelligent and organized. Give the right amount of online homework to get you there. Thumps up to this teacher.
hard class, but he will help you understand. he can be arrogant.
He is literally my favorite teacher ever. I wish he taught some more of the math classes that im required to take but overall he was good. He has the best personality and explains things very thoroughly. He even helped on tests and throws up the peace sign everytime he walks into class lol
Great professor. Very Helpful and i gotta say his classes are fun and meaningful. He will teach you not spoil you.
Best Math teacher I ever had, he super helpful and fun and really knows his stuff. A+++++
Bob is awesome! There is a lot of work in this class no matter who you take. Do the homework and worksheets and you will pass. I easily got an A. If you have questions,he will explain everything to you. He also has office hours which are quite helpful. Wish he was teaching 1033!!
BOB! He's really funny and nice. Take notes, homework is optional but it's really helpful because he goes over questions from the homework if you have problems/ask him. He wants you to learn you just have to put in some effort in that way. Like I said, though, no mandatory homework.
BOB is an awesome teacher, when it comes to math I am not the brightest crayon in the box but he made it very easy. If you have problems understanding math TAKE BOB'S class you wont regret it!!!!
An exceptional professor! He is very clear and precise. Don't think his class will be easy without some work from yourself.
Bob is hands down so far the most amazing math professor. He has a great sense of humor. BY THE WAY, he ROUNDS UP grades!! If you are nervous about taking beginning algebra, TAKE HIM!
Bob is a great teacher. He is very passionate about math and is very clear. I wished he was teaching 1033 so I could take him again.
Great teacher, easy to understand and very helpful.
GREAT Teacher!! very supportive and gives easy steps on remembering how to solve different problems. Highly recommend!
Bob is the best math professor! He explains everything very well. He's also really friendly and approachable if you ever have questions. He is one of the few professors I've had at HCC that actually know all of his student's names.
He was great! H e had shortcuts for everything and I even thanked him for helping me get my FIRST A EVER on a math test he is the best!
BEST MATH PROFESSOR .. HE TAUGHT ME SOOO MUCH . HE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS... WISH HE TAUGHT 1033 BUT I WILL BE TAKING HIM IN THE NEXT MATH. LOVE HIM
There is no review, he does one problem of each type and moves on. I had to drop out, it was not an easy class and his exams were hard. exams are like 75 % of your grade homework is 10% quizes are 5%
First off, this class is not easy. There is a lot of work and studying that you have to do, but it's college. He lets you call him Bob and he is one of the most helpful math professors. You can tell he loves to teach and is very passionate about math. There is a lot of homework, and it's VERY fast paced, but Bob is the best! You won't regret it.
He is an amazing math professor. I took him for precalc/trig and even though it was a faced pace class he made it enjoyable. Hes very helpful when it comes to questions or examples. hes awesome at what he does and you wont regret taking him. Just make sure you do your homework and study your notes.
Class is tough & fast paced. No matter how tired you are always make sure to keep up with the homework. There are a lot of resources for help including him, an SI (tutor assigned to the class) & of course tutoring commons. He's very nice & will help you out if you don't get something.
I very much enjoyed Bob's class (yes you call him Bob) I have very little talent for math and I have to work to keep my grades up but he was always willing to help and showed us a ton of "tricks" that really helped. Wish he was teach College Algebra in the spring.
He has a way to make anyone understand math. It is by far my worst subject and if it wasn't for him taking extra time to help me, I don't think I would have passed. He's really talented at teaching and if you don't understand his method, he will show you as many ways as needed until you feel comfortable with the process and the material.
Amazing teacher I would definitely take him again (if possible). I always kept an A in his class wish he was available for topics in mathematics. He's the best teachers Hcc has I'm glad I had the opportunity take it. Study study study the class isn't that hard if you take his teaching seriously. If this helped tell him frankie Jones recommend him
MAT 0055 is mostly computer based - your answers are put into ALEKS, which is the program the school uses for the class. Bob gives really good shortcuts and stuff, but Dion (his assistant) hovers and is condescending if you take too long on a particular problem or concept. I'd like this class better if it was a traditional lecture.
I very much so enjoyed his class he is very helpful especially to those of us have very little talent in math. I would definitely take him again.
This teacher was extremely helpful. He may go fast but he will slow down if you ask him too. Attendance it mandatory, there is online homework,and if you know you will not be attending class, notify him before. If you need help at all he will help you. He is very down to earth, humors and entertaining. He will help you to learn.
Definitely on of my favorite teachers so far. His lectures are hilarious and about as fun as you could expect from a pre-calc class. He explains things really well. There is lots of homework for this class. Go to class, do the homework, and you will do fine. Sometimes grades on a curve. He will drop you lowest test and replace it with the final.
Love Bob!! You have to work. Expect to work your butt off, but you will be thankful in Cal 1. You need to do your HW and study for exams. If you actually want to learn and walk out ready for Cal 1, then take him. If you want to slack off , only show for tests, and get an A then don't take him. I worked my butt off, was pushed and learned a lot!
Best math teacher I've ever had, ever. Hands down. Tough tests and a TON of homework, but honestly I've learned so much and he is an amazing professor!
This class was quite wrong. Although some days the lectures did use the full hour and 50 minuets some days we were online in class. Hervey likes to be referred to as "Bob". I received 100's on every weeks homework assignment but did not do well on exams and i ended up failing the class.
1147 is a COMBINED TRIG/PRE-CALC course. What students normally cover in two semesters you're covering in one, so go in expecting it to be tough. Bob is excellent he makes sure to cover everything you need to know for exams. Expect to do alot of HW, I managed a B after a 52 on the first quiz and not doing HW. After that I buckled down and passed.
Mr. Hervey is hands down the best math teacher I've ever had in my life. I really REALLY struggle with math and yes, the class is fast paced but only because he has so much to cover! He truly cares about his students, he's funny, personable, and engaging! I did have to work really hard to pass his class but if it wasn't for him I would have failed.
amazing teacher point blank
The tests aren't incredibly hard as long as you study your notes and do the homework. But the homework is long and class seems longer. You can miss class without it counting against you, but it would be hard to pass without attending. I cant say he was may favorite teacher but I wouldn't mid taking him again either.
Does not allow make up tests and gives zeroes for any missed even if you had a legitimate reason.
Professor Hervey is a one-of-a-kind, stand-up, A+ man. His style of teaching makes you very prepared for the tests as long as you do the myMathLab homework as well. He will go out of his way, including changing the schedule, to make sure everyone is doing well. He makes you want to be good at math. Couldn't ask for a better professor!
If you miss class, you're done. Gives worksheets everyday of class that are turned in on test day for credit. He makes math easy and will help if you have questions. If you're struggling, See him after class and he will help out. Funny guy as well.
When I took Hervey for Intro for the fall semester I was like this class is so stupid and it will be an easy A since I'm good in Algebra. I though it was going to be boring but he is so nice and funny and he tries to help his students the best way he can. He repeats problems over and over until you get them. Great professor!
This class was the usual for me, not alot of time to grasp all the concepts. If you need this class to pass, make sure you know how to do the problems, down pat, you will get left behind and stuck. This class started late in semester, so I don't plan on taking him again. I just wish there was more time to absorb it all. Now I have to repeat it.
Professor Hervey was an amazing math professor. Even when I didn't grasp the concept being taught in class, I went to his office hours and he was more than willing to help me out. He really accommodates his students and is very professional. I really enjoyed his class and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to take College Algebra.
Not the best professor. He goes through the material so fast in class and you have 60-80 questions for hw due once a week. You'll spend hours on just the hw. He doesn't believe in reviewing for tests or extra credit. He gives a review online but your on your own. Be prepared to do a LOT of work in this class if you're not an expert in math.
Best math professor ever! I took him in 0028 and 1033, and will take him for college algebra. He's fast when explaining but if you have question he answers them with no problem. He does give homeworks but that's the fastest way to learn math. If you do your homeworks and go to the lectures it's easy to pass the class.
A lot to do within MyMathLab but in class, he will be very helpful and teaches the subject very easily. He also helps answer questions from the test to help clear up any confusions.
He's a great professor. Before taking math with him, I had never been able to pass math in college. He's very positive, upbeat, and offers a lot of help to the students. He is also very funny and makes jokes in class. If you get the wrong answer on a test, he'll still give you partial credit if you show your work. Most professors won't do that.
He's the best math professor I've ever had. I took 1033 as an 8 week course. He made an accelerated, difficult class bearable. I didn't do well on two tests, but he didn't give up on me and kept me motivated, helping me pass. He teaches you a straightforward way with clear steps to help you learn better. He's also hilarious. He likes hard workers.
He gives the class a quiz the first 20 minutes just because others don't show.
Very good stats teacher.
Professor Hervey is a great teacher but not good enough for me. He gives his lectures too fast, he's snarky and rude and if you would answer something wrong or the math problem, he would say a slick comment. If you don't keep up with him and write your notes fast then he is not for you, but if you can and don't mind the speed than go for it.
He is the best math teacher I've ever had. I really understand with him and he takes consideration into how hard you work, he's always there to help.
He's a very cool teacher, he made us take like 5 question quizzes on the materials we were learning about each class
If youre bad in math & dont slack off this is the class for you! He doesnt give reviews in class for tests or believe in extra credit. But in class if you dont understand something he will help you right then & there. His tests are hard and theres a ton of homework. But they honestly helped me understand math better
I consider myself really bad at math, but he's been an amazing professor! His teaching skills are brilliant, if you don't understand something he will go over it and help you get it, he's always in a good mood and he's also very positive! He has been one of the best math professors I have ever had, and I would totally take any of his classes again!
This is the third time I have taken intermediate algebra. I realize I have had some not so good professors in the past and Hervey, who likes to be called "Bob", has changed that for me! I finally understand math. He breaks down difficult material and uses methods that help us actually understand. Lots of homework but it is helpful.
Professor Hervey is the best professor hands down I have ever had. He helps you if you have difficulty understanding a subject and is overall an amazing teacher. If he sees that you are trying in his class he has no problem helping you pass his class. He is very funny and witty, was never bored in his class and genuinely excited to go to class.
He teaches very well, has the students do problems on the board and then goes over the the problem once finished. Have to buy Aleks math program for homework and test. I did the homework within a few weeks, test can either be on Aleks or in person with him on tablets. No phone policy, he will kick you out for using a phone. He's nice if he likes u.
I adore Bob. He is rigorous and doesn't take excuses, can come off harsh. But he is brilliant and has mastered the art of teaching hard subjects. He reinforces learning and keeps you engaged. He is actually a rather lenient grader, but only if he knows you are a sincere hard working student. He is hilarious and knows his stuff. Top 3 at HCC.
Bob is a very nice guy. But I could not understand the material he teached and the Aleks program is the worst thing i have encountered in math. Lots of topics you have to do in a very short amount of time, when i do math this quick i tend to not remember the steps that it took to solve certain problems, since their are so many different problems.
He will not left you bored for even a second. It is hard for me to not laugh in his class. He makes everything so easy and logical.
Awesome
He is Dedicated....
When the class mean final is 54.2 and the mean test/quizzes are not much higher, maybe it's the teacher!!!! He is rude when you ask questions (trying to be cool).
Bob was a great professor. He doesn't take attendance but his lectures really break down the material, so if you miss class, the homework might be a bit harder to do. Also, this year they integrated technology into the class. so no more memorizing difficult equations, just plug everything into StatCrunch and there is your answers. Super easy class
Great professor! Recommend. Grade was based off tests, homework (min of 2 max of 4 assignments per week), & chapter quizzes. With the use of the new technology program statcrunch made the class a lot easier.
9 years out of school & got a 99 in the class. He's great. Lots of hw, all due dates in syllabus and Aleks reminds you. 4 tests, final replaces lowest. Final is exemptable. Attendance not mandatory except for test days. Students work problems in class on the board so he knows everyone has a handle on the subjects. Sarcastic af too haha. Loved him!
Professor Hervey's class can be difficult if math is not your strongest subject. There is homework due each week. He can be funny at times and make jokes. He is very clear on how he grades. You can get exempt form the final if all your four tests add up to 360pts or higher. If you do the test reviews they count as extra credit on the tests.
Robert is hilarious, he can make you enjoy the time you spend in the class. He is super flexible with the class work and he needs to change a due date he will do so. He is not demanding on the things you need to do but if you want to pass you might need to do the homework as a review. He also offers extra credit.
Great Professor!
Bob is really the best professor I think Ive ever had. I took him for College Algebra & he makes you enjoy your time in class. Lots of hw online & tests. But he drops lowest grades out of his grading sections (quiz,hw,test). He really wants you to pass!! Only reason I got a C was because Im terrible at math. Definitely going to take him for stat
Really nice, very clear teaching, likes making jokes in class, lets you go ahead of the course. We did not really use the textbook.
I actually failed College Algebra once before. I took this course with Bob and it was worth the drive twice a week from Brandon... And he doesn't mind if you call him Bob. Super cool and teaches well. They say if you can't explain something simply then you do t understand it. Well Bob teaches Algebra very simply and understands it well.
This professor is pretty good for beginners. He goes over everything that is needed to past. If you dont understand something, he will be gladly to help.
Very careless, only cares if you complete work for online. Have given several emails and calls and he carelessly never replies
Mr. Hervey is a good math teacher. He goes step by step to explain things and will go into detail with any questions you have. He was test heavy so make sure you prepare for those tests but he did also give extra credit with every test upon the completion of the test review. Teaches very well with online zoom classes.
