Comment:
I don't have much perspective on how other TCHNCLM profs are, but this guy was definitely better than McCaffery. One complaint is, he seems to lecture based on what NOT to do, rather than what to do. It's pretty negative, and doesn't always make me feel good. Plus sometimes I just don't know what to do since he doesn't always explain that.

Comment:
Dr. Hildinger's passion for what he teaches, paired with his vast general knowledge, dry sense of humor, and zest for life, make his tech comm lectures a real treat, which is saying something. He is clear about his expectations and will give you lots of useful feedback on projects and assignments if you go to office hours. Take his discussion, too.

Comment:
Personally, I love Prof Hildinger and all the side tangents he goes off into about his wife (also Dr. Hildinger) and their trips to Italy and his knowledge of Latin. I found that he could light up the most mundane topic. If you want a good Tech Com person get Hildinger (not to be confused with his wife, who also teaches TC).

Comment:
I found Prof. Hildinger's Tech Comm lectures to be very informative and interesting. I can genuinely say I learned a lot from having him as an instructor. He was willing to meet outside of class with my project team, and his feedback was very valuable for both my projects and understanding of the material.

Prof is an ok choice for TCHNCLCM 300, a very harshly graded course (extremely difficult to get A, but easy to get above B). He is honest and funny, making the dull and almost meaningless course materials not as bad.

Comment:
Prof Hildinger is nice and chill. He didn't really care if you are paying attention during lecture and explained stuff clearly. The TC 300 with him is not as painful as what I usually heard. However, this grading for this class is EXTREMELY TOUGH. I roughly see anyone getting an A.

Comment:
Prof Hildinger makes sure to outline, from beginning to end, everything you need for each TC assignment in the class. He's an excellent lecturer who never fails to entertain and perform, not to mention his interesting personality: a fanatic of jazz music with a curious love of history and, of course, technical communication. Take his class. Do it.

I don't think you will ever meet someone who enjoys the english language as much as Dr. Hildinger. He does what he can to make tech comm interesting and he does pretty well. He gives good feedback on assessments and overall does a great job in class

He makes an extremely boring topic actually mildly enjoyable. He has a wonderfully dry sense of humor and an even better sense of fashion. I've heard he is a very harsh grader, but he didn't grade the papers for my section.

Dr. Hildinger has great dry humor. He will keep you awake in lectures. Buy the little TecCom book he wrote, and it's the handbook to getting high scores on assignments.

Great guy, great teacher. His office hours are invaluable to getting good grades on tech comm stuff. He's very frank about what you're doing wrong, but by doing this he implies exactly what he wants. Very good sense of humor and probably one of the teachers most willing to help students that i've seen thus far

Technical communiation lecturer for Dr. Daida's Engr 100 section. The material he talks about is often boring but his unique sense of humor makes up for it.

Comment:
Technical communication is all about writing EVERYTHING you can think of, relating it in some way or the other to what Prof Hildinger says in class. So as long as you follow the guidelines, you are sure to get points. An intelligent professor, but TC classes can get boring, especially if its an hour and a half.
