Head of the math department, very smart guy. Very laid back, teaches on dry erase board. Pretty easy to understand, good prof.

Great professor! Also he is the head of the Math department.

He definitely helps outside of class (he is very busy though). If you do all the work, at least a B is guaranteed, it's just a matter of finding the TIME for the work (sometimes 2-4 hours, depending on the lesson). Expects you to make the time. No excuses.

Fantastic teacher. Was really nice and personable. Twice he let the class out 20 minutes early to study for a Physics test. Work load was reasonable. A few times we had 5 assignments due in 2 days but that was rare. Homework and quizzes are online. Had 2 tries on quizzes and used the best score. Take home quizzes also given. Highly Recommended!

He's a good teacher. Will explain things until you understand. Homework & quizzes are online, there are also some take home quizzes. Afer any quiz he'll work any problems you didn't understand. You can work the homework questions unlimited times, so no reason to not make a 100 on HW, online quizzes are time & you have to tries.

This is a fantastic professor. All homework is online or in the form of a take home quiz. Online quizzes can be hard but are doable. He drops lowest quiz and homework grades at the end of the semester (the only reason I got an A) and his lectures are easy to follow. Do the practice tests and homework and you'll have no problem with this class.

great proff. I took his summer 4 week class and there was a lot of work which is to be expected but he does a great job of explaining everything. He even raised my interest in math. We only stayed the full class period 3 or 4 times he would almost always let us out between 10-45 minutes early. Overall a great proff.

He is a very thorough professor & he made class interesting. There was a lot of homework and quizzes, but it only further helped you for the exams. Also he will drop your lowest quizzes and homework's (the amount in his discretion if he feels it will bring you a letter grade. Overall great professor!

Great proffessor. Homework is harder than exams. Excellent explanation. Easy A as long as you attend, pay attention, and do your homeworks and quizzes. Highly recommend him!

Great professor. Honestly i wasn't doing good in my weekly exams, i was scoring D's in my exams, but still i got a overall grade C. I studied his class in this summer. When ever i needed help he always use to explain me and solve the question until i don't understand before and after class almost everyday.Simple words, i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him

Super chill guy.. lots of online hw and quizzes, but he usually drops a few of your lowest at the end of the semester. study your notes and past take home quizzes and you'll do fine. just pay attention and you'll get an A

He grades fairly. Curves when needed. Homework a lot, usual for math classes. Explains things clearly and straight forwards. Nothing unexpected from the tests.

Super laid-back guy. His lectures are descriptive, which I love, and I've never had to go to anyone after class to understand the criteria. The hardest thing about this class is the word problem test, be warned about that. Overall he's an amazing professor and he'll answer your questions in class when needed.

He's a great professor. He always offers help when you need it. He gives reviews for the tests and the tests are very similar to those reviews. It's not the easiest class, but he does what he can to make it enjoyable.

He is very good at explaining topics. Expect homework and a quiz everyday. If you miss a problem on a test or quiz he writes out how to do the problem correctly. Very helpful. He drops a few quizzes and homework's at the end of the semester. He will bump you up if your grade is borderline at the end of the year.

Mr. Hammond is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. His lectures are sometimes long-winded, but he clearly explains all topics as they will appear on tests. Expect homework and quizzes every night, he will drop lowest hw and 2 lowest quizzes at the end of the class. Tip: Do the practice exams! They are almost identical to the real ones.

I took Hammond for Calculus during the Summer. As a teacher, he is really good at explaining difficult concepts, but he talks a little too fast and will mark off for the tiniest mistakes on written exams. Because it was a Summer class, I was up to my eyeballs with homework every night, but he ALWAYS let us leave class early. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Hammond has made me love math again! He is super nice, an excellent teacher, and is clear in his lectures. Nothing has totally stumped me yet, and if I ever needed help on something, he was always there for me. He assigns a lot of homework and quizzes but those help you learn the material. BEST MATH PROFESSOR AT BLINN!

Good math professor. However, there is online homework and online quizzes that you have to do. On top of that, you have take home quizzes once a week or so. He explains pretty well but I thought maybe he could have been clearer.

Expect homework like any math class. He is really good at explaining the problems (and I am awful at math). his notes are way easier than the online hw. if you do all the homework he gives you'll be good. his tests are really similar to his take home quizzes so you can use them as study guides. if you need to take a math class I would recommend him

Really straightforward professor, very clear explanations of material. Wish I was able to take him again. Very helpful outside of class as well.

He's a really nice guy that explains everything very clearly. Homework every class, but that's math. Practice tests help a ton. Do everything and study and you'll probably get an A. Taking him again for Calc 2.

Mr. Hammond was a really mice guy and explained everything pretty well. He gives a lot of homework and quizzes, but they are all online so you can use your notes. But that's math. He tells you what will be on the test and they are very straight forward. No tricks. His one flaw is his handwriting. It is very sloppy. Final is comprehensive but easy.

Mr. Hammond was a very nice guy who wanted to teach us to the best of his abilities. He cared about us, cared about our grades and wants us to do well. I would definately take him again. He has a lot of take home quizzes and is clear about the online homework. He's got a Hawaiian shirt for every day of the week!

He is extremely engaging throughout his lectures which is really hard to do when teaching Calculus. He makes himself available for questions during and outside of class. Routine set of hmwks and take home quizzes, NO in-class quizzes, ensuring that you arent surprised with a pop-quiz. Grades tough , but doesnt expect more than you are capable of.

He is a great math professor!!! all homework is online and online quizzes that give you feedback and multiple tries to get a 100. he also gives take home quizzes that are super easy and encourages group work. Gives 5 tests plus the final which helps spread out your grade plus the 50 homework/quiz grades.

Would I take him again? I did. His 2413 section made me want to be in his class again for 2414. Tough grader - you basically have to learn to approach the problem in exactly the same light or else you might skip a step. Grades the process much more heavily than the final answer, which I appreciate.

TOUGH grader but if you pay attention in lecture, he will tell you how he likes it. LOTS of online homework but it pays off in the end. The exam reviews are SUPER helpful so do them! No in-class/pop quizzes ever. His lectures can be long but he explains everything VERY well. Taking him next semester for Calculus 2! Highly recommend him.

Dr. Hammond is an amazing professor who is super passionate about teaching. all hw is online and so are the quizzes. I took him MWF and fridays were left open for us to ask hw questions and go over stuff we needed help on. he is always available for office hours and really wants you to do well in math. would def take him again.

Ron Hammond is a great guy, absolutely brilliant at math, but his tests are extremely hard. If you're taking him to get an easy A or B, pick a different professor. A's and B's are POSSIBLE, but you have to work for it, and in the process you have to become REALLY good at calc.

Has a great teaching method. Always gives a practice test with answers before each test and it is very similar to the real test. Exactly what you see in class is what you are going to be tested on. Lots of online homework and quizzes and also take home quizzes.

Prof. Hammond made this class enjoyable. Lectures were simple and easy to follow. My favorite professor so far. There is a lot of homework, but he makes understanding it a breeze.

Took him for Calculus 1&2. Amazing professor and explains everything very well in class. Very accessible outside of class and is willing to explain everything you don't understand. If you do all the homework, it prepares for the tests. He also gives out a review test for each one and that is extremely helpful. Highly highly recommend him!!!

Lectures examples are easier than homework. Gives mock test that very closely resembles test, with different problems. What will hold you back from an A? Missing homework , quizzes, or written quizzes. Test are very doable if you study mock test format. Drops lowest quiz written quiz, and homework. Will make 89.5 an A if you've done most work.

I'm taking him for the math maymester and he was a good prof. Unfortunately, there is ALOT of homework every single night, and Mathlab is a horrible tool to learn. I spent about 6 hours a night attempting to finish and never would. Tests and quizzes aren't bad, but math lab definitely was the worst. I would take him again though.

I'm taking him for a may mini right now, and I can honestly say he is one of the best professors I have had. There is a lot of homework and mathlab doesn't help much but he responds to emails fast if you were to ask him about homework. I would hands down take him again.

Mr. Hammond was excellent at teaching the material, and gave test reviews identical to the test for the most part. If I had to retake this course I would only by the access codes for MyMathlab. DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK! Pay attention to how he shows work! He is picky and will count off on quizzes and tests for errors in work. DO THE TEST REVIEWS!!

Hammond is a great calculus professor. His lectures are very clear and organized. His take home quizzes really help you prepare for the tests, so make sure you study those. His tests are very easy, but make sure you show your work in the same steps he taught, because he will take away points if you do not. Definitely take him!

Dr. Hammond is probably the best math teacher I have ever had. His lectures are amazing and he makes a hard class seem very doable. All the quizzes and homeworks are take home and online, and his tests are very fair. He is a relatively tough grader, but will tell you in lecture what he looks for in his grading. I wish he taught all my math classes.

By far the best prof I have ever had! He makes everything extremely clear. He truly cares about his students and how they are doing in the class. Yes, he is very particular about grading but if you do it the exact way he doesn't in class it's easy. His test are just like the review and take home quizzes so if you study those you will do great!

Calculus is not ever an easy class but Mr. Hammond does a very good job explaining/teaching the material. Although the test are challenging he gives take home quizzes that are very similar and good for studying. There's lot of online homework but it's manageable. Also, he's genuinely just so nice.

Overall great professor and amazing person. Grades work for credit even if you got the answer wrong. Really does everything in his power to help you. If you just do the homework and take home quizzes and show up for class you will do great. His lectures are amazing and easy to understand and he will answer any questions you have.

Hammond was really good and he gives out partial credit on all his exams which helps a lot. He gives good test reviews and although it's a lot of online homework, the take-home quizzes aren't too bad and very helpful. His lectures can be a little long, so try not to get him at 8AM. Other than that, very bright and helpful professor!

Outstanding. Course was clearly organized, Prof. Hammond instructed clearly and had everything timed so there was ample time to review before exams. Provided practice exams that were very helpful. He wanted all students to do well, and did a great job enabling them to do so.

I have to say, I despise math and Hammond is probably the best I've ever had at the subject. He's old school, just goes up on the whiteboard and teaches but he's very good. There's a lot of homework but personally I really needed it to learn the material. Tests are free response and easier than homework. Hammond is a nice guy I recommend taking him

I knew Calc II was harder than Calc I, but I didn't realize the huge gap in material needed to be learned by the end of the semester. Hammond is a very genuine guy and gives credit where credit is due. The homework was really brutal for me but the tests (and final) were not NEARLY as bad in comparison.

Prof. Hammond is one of the best Calc professors out here. He doesn't use any notes, just teaches on a black board, which is why you need to pay attention during class. Even if you do miss out on something, you can reach out during his office hours. Whats great is that his tests are just like the reviews, so as long as you do the review its an A.

Definitely a good prof that explains topics in depth. Picky with grading but just do it the way he teaches. Lots of hw but helps you learn the material and are free 100s with infinite tries. Online quizzes two tries. He is by far one the best math teachers Ive had. Don't buy the textbook unless you are the type to actually read through it.

Hammond is a great Calculus Prof, I took Calc 1 in high school so the class was relatively easy for me, but he is a great professor even with no calculus experience. His is pretty particular on syntax of your answers and how to work out problems, but his class isn't hard, just make sure to use equal signs and etc. Monotonous, but all math profs are

I took Mr. Hammond for calculus 1 and 3 and absolutely love his class. He is an extremely good professor whos been teaching calculus for over 20 years. He is extremely good at explaining difficult concepts and is always available during office hours and will explain a problem to you as many times as you need. Cant recommend him enough!

He is a very good teacher that tells you what he is looking for when grading on each type of problem.

Professor Hammond is a great Calculus 1 Professor. Some students say he talks fast, but he is definitely not too fast to understand. He records all of his lectures which is nice, but attendance is mandatory. Homework and quizzes after every lecture, and he is a TOUGH grader on tests, but most profs are. Still would highly recommend Prof. Hammond.

I had him for Cal 1 and Cal 2. He made the transition online during the pandemic really smooth. The only thing that really changed were the tests, which moved to MML. He recorded lectures like he normally would during face to face meetings. The take home quizzes were straightforward and based off the lectures. He is just an amazing professor.

He's a great professor. He grades hard, but he makes that clear from the beginning. The transition to an online format was very smooth and the tests got changed to an MML format. The take-home quizzes were hard but manageable. I have a strong foundation in Calc 2 because of him. Too bad the class went online. No comparison to PHYS w/ Cervantes.

Outstanding professor, cares about students, very well respected, makes the class approachable, tests are take home, attendance to class is optional (only for your benefit). I wish I took is class for Calc 1 and 2 as well. He is clear with his lectures, goes through many examples (you get used to the bad hand writing). Would definitely take again!

Instead of tests, he does Capstones which are basically take home tests where you have a window of anywhere from 3-7 days-ish to do them. This is a life saver. He is also a good teacher and his videos are actually helpful. Nice guy too. You have to actually do your work and ask him about what you don't understand if you want to do well though.

Weekly Pearson assignments and quizzes which is the usual with any math professor. His grading is a bit unusual, but you get the hang of it. Overall not a bad professor.

Great to work with and is responsive to inquiries. This was a fun class and we took a lot of practice surveys.

Professor Hammond was a great professor! His video lectures make the content very easy to understand. You have unlimited tries on the homework and you can ask for clarification on a problem in his assignments or capstones. All assigned work is open resources except for the final since it is taken using Honorlock but you can still use your notes.

Professor Hammond is a good professor since his lecture videos provide you with what you need to complete the homework and written assignments. If you work your problems carefully on the written assignments, you will get a good grade. I also had him in MATH 2414 and so I took him again since I knew how his class worked.

Hammond's class can be very challenging or very easy. If you follow his lectures and work out the problems how he does, you will pass. If you don't watch the lectures, you can't wing it. He is no longer doing traditional exams which helps because you are able to collaborate on assignments. I had him for Calc 1 and 3 and loved him.

If you read the lectures and try to solve the homework before the class starts then it will be really easy for you

His material was super accessible and organized, which helped a lot when I was in quarantine. However, be warned that he's a tough grader, which matters since homework (online + written) is 60% of your grade, and his handwriting is illegible. Additionally, deadlines are strict, so DO YOUR WORK BEFORE IT'S DUE! Be methodical and work with others.

Took this as a 5-week summer class. Mr. Hammond is one of the best math profs I've had, he explains everything super clearly & is accessible on Remind outside of class. He is kind of a tough grader, and his handwriting is terrible, but you'll adjust. He truly cares so much about his students tho, great dude & great lectures. Made Cal 3 so easy :)

I had Prof. Hammond for precal and Calc III and he has been my favorite math professor. I've never NOT understood something he was teaching. I would ask him math questions about physics problems I had and he would do his best to help me understand the math and theory behind what I was doing. There was a lot of homework but not an absurd amount.

I took Mr. Hammond for calc II and as this course is known to be one of the hardest classes, he made it so clear and simple. his teaching style is very organized and smart. he gives practice tests that are exactly like the actual tests! he gives regular homework but that would just help you understand the material better. Easy A in his class!!

Great professor for all calc's! He explains everything in detail, is reachable by text outside of class, and explains exactly what he wants to see on all assignments. Reviews are exactly like tests. He has online videos and goes into more detail during in-class lectures. Super great, nice guy. Will not budge, though. VERY experienced and organized!

Professor Hammond was overall a good professor. His lectures were informative and the examples he worked out in class looked like what you would see in the exams so pay attention. Make sure to attend class and show that you care for the course and he does his best to help you. Professor Hammond is one of the better profs at RELLIS.

I took an online course with Mr. Hammond Fall 2022 and he quickly became my favorite math teacher. His lecture videos were super in depth and he explains the theory behind everything incredibly clearly. There were a couple times i would message him and he was pretty rude for no reason but overall great teacher.

*Read this to be successful in his class* Class: written assignments (strictly graded by Mr. Hammond, work with friends) (30%), mymathlabs (15%), tests (10%), final (15%). He is very strict with his grades so proofread your written assignments 5 times over according to his lecture, can be a deciding factor between an A or a B. Gives practice exams.

The best math TEACHER I have ever had. Second time learning calculus 1, his lectures still gave me something to learn. He is also the hardest GRADER I have ever had. He found a way to turned math homework into a LA assignment. But just like how grammer makes you a better writter, Mr.Hammond's wacky grading will make you a better mathmatician.

I was able to get a 91 and 96 on the 2nd and 3rd exam but got hammered on the 4th exam, but mostly on my own fault. Picky on partial credit, such as certain symbols that you need to reiterate but that's mostly just remembering to write it. Exams were mostly like the review, and the final exam is all MC. wasn't too difficult if u memorized formulas.

Took his online Calc 3 class. Good lectures but leaves out few specific details you may be curious about. Does not get to the "why" as quick as I'd like, so skipping around helps with time. Doesn't like it when you dont watch the lectures as reflected by his harsh grading (expects you to quote him and use his notation). Responds to messages quick.

Literally the fastest grader Iv ever had. I would go to bed worried about my exam grade i just took and by 8 next morning it would be out. Hardest grader I've ever had, despite that i feel like he would be really good for Cal 1-3, just depends on if your thorough and able to pay attention. I wish every prof taught like him. def possible to get an A

He was chill. His lectures were super in depth and really good, but he graded his test impossibly hard. He would take off points for the littlest thing you got wrong even if you got the final answer right. Final was free, and he curves.

Genuinely the best math professor I have ever had. His lectures and instructions were always clear and he was very reachable outside of class.

Most of these reviews will tell you that professor Hammond is cruel and doesn't care, but the reality is that if you make the effort to come to class, he will treat you with the same respect that you treated him with by showing up. If you take this course in person, SHOW UP TO CLASS!! it's all the difference. don't be lazy, it will cost you.
