Comment:

Dr. Hardy was a great professor. I've read many negative reviews about him but those must have been the students who were expecting hand outs and did not show for class. Dr. Hardy is fair, you must comply when he tells you to show up for class and turn in assignments on time. He helped with test prep and gave extra credit. He was awesome! I'll SAY!

Comment:

Dr Hardy is extremely rude. He will laugh in your face about questions you ask. At one point he told me he wasnt talking to me anymore. Also he is not willing to work with you when you have a issue. Our online system calculates grades wrong I received a D but if you calculate it it adds up to a B he still wouldn't fix it. Saying it wasn't his issue

Comment:

Haven't understood him since day 1. This was one of the hardest things i've ever done. He doesn't explain the problem or how to do it, just writes it straight out of the book and expects you to know it. Hope this helps you decide to not take this class.

Dr. Hardy is a wonderful teacher that knows what he is talking about! A math wiz! COME to class, BE ON TIME! He seems tough but he is preparing you for the Compass Exit Exam and wants you to understand the material. He is very helpful! Come prepared, bring your book and LISTEN IN CLASS!

Dr. Hardy expects you to LISTEN and pay ATTENTION in his class at all times. He offers extra credit..and sometimes give you take home test..Yay! He really wants all his student to do well in his class and gives each student an opportunity to do so....it's up to the student what grade he or she will make.

Comment:

This class is not for beginners or for those of you returning to school.You need to have a very good understanding of Algebra to take his classes. His classes are very hard if you have no understanding or are new to Algebra and you must come everyday or you WILL fall behind.He does give chances for extra credit sometimes.DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

Comment:

Hardy always came to class late, sometime even over 20 minutes. He was always poorly prepared and we rarely covered things on the test. I'm glad I am good at math and already knew the stuff he was trying to teach, because if not, I would have been screwed. I only needed the class for the credit.

Comment:

I got 100's on all assignments, and ended up with a C in the class.He will not change a grade, even when wrong Attendance is MANDATORY. I thought the class was extremely easy. Even if you work 10x harder,turn everything in on time or never miss a class he won't use that in your favor. The final had things we never learned or talked about in class.

Comment:

Dr. Hardy is HORRIBLE at teaching.. He need to improve in his teaching skills. Attending class everyday is a MUST or you will be left behind. He will give you extra credit to help your grade. He's sorta fair when he feels like it. Go to the tutoring lab because they will help you! I won't recommend his class to people who have a hard time in math.

Comment:

I really stuggle at math and he made me even more aware of the fact that I have a hard time. I cried everyday that I was in that class because he was so hard and I could never understand what he was teaching. He does not explain the material well AT ALL!! I had to withdraw!! It was a horrible experience.

Comment:

I agree with the other comment that he isn't for the faint of heart (I was ready to drop the 2nd day; but I found him to be fair, have a sense of humor & give many opportunities to improve your grade. You'll need support from the Lab since he's very short on explanations but in the end I enjoyed being in his class, passed the compass & made an A!

Comment:

Dr. Hardy is the WORST teacher I have EVER had my ENTIRE life!!!!! I wouldn't recommend him to my enemy! I went to his office to ask him for help and he laughed in my faced. I haven't had a math class in 7 years and he was NOT willing to help the slightest bit. I withdrew so I wouldn't fail.

Comment:

Dr.Hardy is the most incompetent teacher I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. Had I not known math before I started his class, I would be failing. He is VERY RUDE and is completely disinterested in his students. If you aren't black he doesnt care about you. So if you are going to take his class, white people, you better get a tan!!!

Comment:

Dr. Hardy is NOT for the faint-at-heart, immature or lazy. He expects you to catch on quickly, and is not going to baby anyone. If you do the work, you should pass. Also, he's not very helpful, so be ready to spend time in the tutoring lab

Comment:

Most days he is 5-15 minutes late to class, then he sits down and reads off a powerpoint. Pay attention and take notes because this is a class where you do have to teach yourself most of it, it isn't uncommon for him to laugh at your questions and simply tell you it's easy and he already showed how. Even so, class is passable with effort.
