Comment:

lab: bitter & rude. insults people and calls them stupid for no reason. hovers over your shoulder. speaks quietly and hard to understand (should be retired). on the other hand, quizzes are relatively easy if you study. if you get good grades and do the labs right he will favor you. expect to stay late often because he repeats himself numerous times

Comment:

He has is neutral moods and his bad moods. When he's neutral he can actually be pretty helpful, but he is a complete terror if you catch him at the wrong time! That's when he's rude, condescending, and even vulgar. Grades on lab reports are somewhat arbitrary. Mumbles and is barely audible. Avoid!

Its funny all these people are saying in 2003 that he was too old to teach. It is 2009, and he is still going strong. The nastiest teacher, and I never understood a word he said.

Comment:

OK. I hated his course. You can't understand him, he's a misogynist... and if you ask for help, he'll make sure that you feel stupid when you leave. He's condescending and grades hard. He was horrible. Worst semester of Chem Lab ever.

Comment:

If you have supersonic hearing, then take this class. Very difficult to hear him while he lectures or explains or anything for that matter! Helpful when you go to him sometimes. Grading isn't too bad. But very hard to hear him and he can DEFINITELY be interpreted as a bitter old man.

Herskovits is not as bad as everyone makes him out to be. He is actually a nice man if your nice to him and talk to him. Just do your work, study and he's fine.

Dr. Herskovits is the incarnation of the pillsbury doughboy. You cannot understand a damn word he says and he could really careless about his students. How is he still able to teach? He is incoherent. Avoid him at all costs.

This guy is awful. Hes old and could care less about his students. If you try to ask him questions he will respond with some ridiculous answer like "Your the student, you figure it out." His grading sucks too he nit picks and takes points off f
