Dr. Hearn is a great professor. Had Bus. Com. with him, and he really prepares you to be professional in the work place. As a student, you are going need to have some drive in his class. Just slight glances over his instructions will not get you a good grade, be prepared. Dr. Hearn is very professional teacher and I enjoyed being in his class.

Comment:
This is a powerpoint class. There is a group presentation project initially then you work on an individual presentation that will be presented later. He will rip you apart while you are presenting, but he is fair. He treats you as the next presentation for the UN and wants you to be prepared and flawless. Stressful, sure, but he is a good prof.

Dr. Hearn actually wants his students to succeed in the business world, but if you do not do the assignments exactly how he says it, you will not make a good grade. He is a nice guy but one of the toughest graders I have ever had.

Comment:
Only professor available for this class, so I had no other choice. Very dry, direct, and straight to the point. He knows exactly what he expects from all students, and if assignments aren't done his way, it's the highway. He'll constantly say "Good Luck." when assigning new tasks and assignments (it sounds a little insulting, but ignore it).

He is the only professor who teaches this class. The first thing you do is pretty difficult, but then you have 3 small PowerPoints that boost your grade. He wants things to be done his way. Do not be creative. Follow his instructions EXACTLY. The final presentation is not hard, but you have to do exactly what he says. Ask for help and youll do fine

Hearn can be intimidating, but he is actually quite helpful. He makes it clear what he expects and will give you lots of advice if you take your projects in early for him to look them over. There is no reason for you to make less than an A. Just put in the effort.

Comment:
Dr. Hearn's lectures seem useless, but take notes and he will not get mad at you later for asking questions. He is VERY specific about what he wants, but if you follow the directions and listen, you can very easily make an A. There is a group project at the beginning that is difficult, but after that the class is pretty straightforward.

Comment:
If you don't do the PowerPoints exactly how he does them, you will probably fail it. He is a very unfair grader and unclear with directions being that they could be in 3 different places saying different things. Avoid him if possible.

Comment:
He may seem like the hardest teacher, but you will learn from his class. There is so much material covered and you have to pay very close attention to what he says or you will be lost. He's very strict and he expects a lot, but if you just do what he says then you'll be fine. He answers questions, but he doesn't answer it more than once.

Hearn is a great guy... out side of class. In class, do all power points directly to his stipulations down to the 32 pt times new roman font. He knows exactly what he wants and will not take anything else. If you are a creative person, sorry, you will have trouble in this class.

Comment:
Dr. Hearn is very particular on the way he wants things done. Pay very close attention to the way he wants his PowerPoints done because the small assignments can hurt your grade. There's only one test, the other grades come from the small assignments that are used for you final presentation. This is more of a speech/PowerPoint class, in my opinion.

Should be an easy class, but he tries to make it as hard as possible. He is not friendly and the final project is ridiculous. Worst teacher I have had.

Comment:
Worse teacher in my entire life. I am a straight A student and will likely have a low B or possibly a C in this class. His writing is chicken scratch so when he grades assignments you won't have a clue what he is trying to correct. AVOID at all cost. Directions are everywhere and he lives to give bad grades even when you are doing everything right.

Comment:
Hearn is nit-picky and wants you to do your PowerPoints a certain way, yes, but if you have any knowledge of PP, what he is asking you to do is basic and straightforward. Most people did their projects last minute and got bad grades for inconsistency on their projects. Do your work early, get his feedback like he says, and you'll be much better off

I would highly recommend not taking this professor for any class. Worst teacher I have ever had. If he could give you a negative score on a presentation I feel like he would.

He wants your work set up just like he does it and there are no other ways. You can get an A as long as you jump through his hoops. Don't expect to learn anything just to follow his instructions which can sometimes be 10+ pages long. Grades with transparencies to check your placement. Don't Stress!
