Comment:
This class wasn't ever boring. He is highly entertaining and is very kind and helpful. His exams are typically multiple choice and written response. Since it's about learning how kids think, concepts are taught in a lot of different ways, so you have to go to class or keep up with online lectures. There is no textbook for 101 or 102.

Professor Hersberger is an awesome teacher! He makes math fun with all of the stories that he tells. Be sure that you understand the material in order to do well on the test. I work on math for about 4 hours every week and I have a 93 in his class right now.

Comment:
A funny professor. Took him in the summer. He does go off topic when he tells stories, but I think it wakes up the class. If you do not understand the concept during class, he can simplify what he said if you ask him after class or during class. The stuff he goes over in class is similar on the test.

Comment:
he is a horrible professor. He doesn't explain concepts well, although it is an easy class. His only grades are tests and he jumps from topic to topic. What is in the test was not covered in class

I am one of the few who had him in class, not online. I loved him. Great teacher, lots of enthusiasm, and really good at explaining math in various ways. I'm not good at math but I did well in his class and signed up for another class with him because he's so great. Also, he WILL make fun of you. Don't take it personally. He isn't mean, just joking

I love Mr. Hershberger! He is so nice and funny and makes the class interesting. You can tell he is passionate about elementary math. Very interesting class. Only 3 tests. No homework. No quizzes.

Taking online. He is a little hard to get hold of, but he will get to you if needed. It's a fairly easy class. But the tests... You have to watch the lecture. A MUST. It is written response. But if you watch the lecture, you are golden. I got an A on my first test. I like this class a lot. I recommend it.

Must watch lectures. Class is somewhat boring. It's very repetitive and he seems monotone for most of it. Although, there are 3 tests and you grade is based off of that. Tests aren't usually too bad. But you MUST study for them.

I took this class on campus. It was recorded for online students. Jim is such a nice guy and he is funny! He really helps you think of ways to teach that would be easier for a student to understand. He knows what he is talking about and really has his students in mind when teaching. He wants his students to become great teachers as well.

You must watch the online lectures. If you have any questions, beware. Not easy to get in contact with. For an online class, he doesn't appear to like email as a tool to correspond with students.

Took the class online. You MUST watch the lectures...as you will need to submit comments about them for your grade. Thought that I was failing all semester, and turned out getting an A in the course. Just be prepared for tests; and make sure to keep up w/ homework.

THIS PROFESSOR SHOULD NOT BE TEACHING FUTURE TEACHERS. HE IS SMART, BUT HE COMES ACROSS AS CONDESCENDING. HE NEEDS TO CHECK HIS PRIDE AT THE DOOR BEFORE HE COMES INTO THE CLASSROOM!
