Comment:

Attendance is mandotory and he will count you absent if you are even a second late. Tests were pretty difficult and involved memorizing lots of definitions. He also assigned a group project and final exam due on the same day.

Comment:

Lectures seem long and boring. He'll mark you tardy if you come in at exactly 10 (or whenever your class starts). Tests are very hard and confusing. The tests are basically memorizing long definitions from the text book. I dread going to his class.

He's great! So nice and helpful. And if he likes your class, he invites everyone to his house for food. It was delicious.

Comment:

He is the worst professor ever! Do not take him unless you have to. Once he literally gave us a paper that was due that next week, on the same day he had the midterm exam. He does not know what he is talking about, and he never provides you with any of the readings he wants you to do online. He is confusing and has no clue what he is talking about!

Comment:

Worst I've had yet. Awkward and gives lectures that have nothing to do with the homework, which takes Herculean effort to get through for each assignment. You essentially have to teach yourself everything. Totally not recommended unless you're a TEL/MAS major and have to take this class.

Comment:

Absolutely worst teacher I have had at UK. It is almost if he prides himself on confusing students. Tests are insanely hard, unless you are good at memorizing 125 terms and writing their definitions in a 50 minute class period. Unfortunately if you are a TEL major you have to take this class. If not, DONT TAKE IT!!!

BORING! Reads off ppt every class. Treats you like an idiot when you ask a question. Study guides are misleading (if it says 30% old material..it really means 70%!)Scatterbrained. Can't answer questions clearly. Final project is INSANE!!! BORING BORING BORING!!! Probably ok outside of class, but that doesn't matter!

Interesting guy. Class could have used some spicing up, but that's just asthetic stuff. When it came down to the material, Hertog knew it.

Don't listen to the Hertog-bashers. He's a good teacher and a good guy who knows what he's talking about and who's full of interesting anecdotes. People are just taking out the fact that they don't like Telecom Research Methods as a subject on him. Furthermore, he's like amiable uncle!
