Extremely hard teacher. The examples done in class are nothing in comparison to the questions on the test. He requires online homework which costs $40 and the other section does not. Take the other section.

Difficult class, but possible to get an A if you try hard enough. I suggest practicing all of the problems he gives you and back tests

Comment:
He can definitely talk, and does go on tangents, but they're usually anecdotal. Almost always around and accessible, even when he's teaching a lab. Has no problem helping you understand something. Has helped me in not only physics, but calc as well, along with the other physics profs.

Dr. Hurst is great and very understandable. He loves physics and is easy to approach. I got A's in both classes and was very intimidated by the subject before I took it. Nice guy, just ask questions if he goes over your head, he'll be happy to explain!

He really wanted the class to understand what he was teaching, and always had time to elaborate on a subject if necessary. I took it in the summer, but I felt as if I got all the information.
