I would absolutely take him again. He's extremely caring and willing to help. The class is hard, but there are plenty of opportunities for help. He does like giving pop quizzes at the end of class, so make sure you stay caught up in class.

Hubbard is one of the best professors there is! His class is lots of work but he is more than willing to help you. He does give extra credit as well! His exams are hard so make sure you do the review guides a week in advance.

Comment:

Dr. Hubbard is brilliant when it comes to mathematics, but doesn't do to well in teaching. The class is incredibly fast pace, and he loves giving pop quizzes in the last 5 mins of class. I went in to see him for help and he flew by everything in under 5min, and felt I wasn't a priority. Don't take the class unless necessary.

Comment:

First off, Dr. Hubbard goes EXTREMELY FAST. If you are not used to a heavy work load, get ready. He also gives quizzes without warning throughout the semester. However, he wants students to succeed and makes himself available at any hour of the day, and he's good at teaching what he teaches. I'd say he's easily the best math prof at SCSU.

Comment:

Hubbard is the best Math prof at scsu!! Lectures were challenging because he goes through the material quickly. ALWAYS read the chapter and do the homework BEFORE the lecture, and you will be fine. Goes out of his way to help students who struggle by making regular appointments with them for tutoring. Loves math and teaching. Be prepared to work!

Comment:

Prof. Hubbard is really helpful when it comes down to it, but only if you take the time to talk to him one on one outside of class. In class he teaches at an outrageously fast pace, with very few examples of how to do something or where we can apply the information. If you don't study, or get outside help, you probably will struggle immensely.

Comment:

Horrible professor. The first time I went to his office hours he started off by telling me that I was hopeless and that I will be lucky to finish with a C in his class. It was only the third week in. He would single out people that did not have a grasp on the current concepts. The tutoring center had frequent trouble aiding in homework.

Comment:

Super willing to help out and office hours are great. Gives a ton of pop quizzes but he usually drops hints on what they will be about, which helps. Also drops 2 of your lowest quiz scores. If you try, you will be fine. I would recommend him because he's so willing to help.

Hard class with a great teacher. He expects a lot from you so show up prepared by understanding your homework. If you stop doing homework, you'll fall behind without question. My class had 19 pop-quizes at the end of the semester. If you aren't a great student, find another prof. If you ARE a great student, take Hubbard, you'll learn a lot.

Comment:

Hardest class I've ever taken. The tutors struggled to help most of the time. He does reach out to you more than any other professor to help. He wants to make appointments with students to help. Pop quizzes are hard, expect homework every night, and expect him to take points off for stupid reasons.

Comment:

He will take off points and not tell you why. Worksheets are hard and very confusing. Pop quizzes every week. Homework is due almost every day during the week. He teaches out of two textbooks, the MyMathLab has the second one online. In addition he will lecture five minutes over most class days. My opinion: Run.

Comment:

This class was very difficult. His lectures are pretty boring. He always gives out pop quizzes and they are generally one or two questions, so if you don't understand the topic, you are screwed. He gives confusing and hard assignments that don't really go along with the book. Even the tutors had trouble solving the problems. Take a different prof.

Class is pretty hard but he offers lots of extra help. Just go spend an extra hour a week going to his officer hours or the extra class period and you'll be good.

Comment:

I hate the assignments from d2l it's because you'll have to find the answers yourself. It's a really tough course. I really suggest that you should study from the text also. Helps you get by the lab homework quicker. Takes 1-4hours to finish the lab homework. Sometime the professor teaches different from the text. Read text before going to class.

Comment:

I switched into a more challenging math course because I didn't think I would survive the one the University put me in. Prof. Hubbard was a very challenging teacher, because he taught in a way I had never been taught before. He explains how you get the answer instead of showing you how to do it, but he was always available for extra help.

Comment:

Prof. Hubbard is very helpful if you ask him. He wants students to understand and he'll take the time if you make appointments outside of class. He does fast though and unless you're great at math you'll have to work for the grade. There were several times when he would just keep talking with little clarifications or time for questions.

Comment:

I took this class in the summer which kinda sucked because his class has a TON of material that you need to get really good at. He is a very good teacher though, more than willing to help in and after class. All tests are "show work" which is good because even if you get the wrong answer he still gives credit for what you did right.

Comment:

Calculus is already a hard class and Hubbard makes it even harder. He goes through examples way to fast for a 112 course and doesn't explain the material well. He is a very smart teacher and is willing to help, but it get a good grade in his courses you need A LOT of outside work with him and other tutors.

Comment:

I would never recommend taking Hubbard. This was the worst class I have EVER taken and he is only interested in a raise(i.e helping students out of class so he gets a good survey at the end of the term) although he is very helpful, it says something when several students fail on the material he teaches/tutors himself.
