Comment:
I had this professor entirely online. Maybe he's a better teacher in person, but I got nothing from his lectures. It was near impossible to figure out what was due and when because he posted next to nothing to Blackboard. He yelled at students for getting things wrong and generally made me not want to participate in class ever.

Very outgoing and loves his studies, but his lectures were hard to sit through sometimes. He'd sometimes be really funny or he'd make kids participate. Somewhat difficult grader but not the worst math class I've ever taken.

Hrinca is the worst. Literally have to teach the entire course to yourself. He only reviews homework in class, you literally have to read the textbook and teach yourself the math, he does almost zero lecture in class, just pop quizzes and answers questions.

He's an amazing teacher who genuinely cares about his students and their success. I was scared going into the class because at first he seemed strict, but I easily passed. Anyone could take this class and get a satisfactory grade if they put at least half-effort into it.

Comment:
Dr. Hrinca is very intelligent and passionate about math, but that NEVER translates into his lectures, which are incredibly slow, boring, and rambling often going on long tangents. Gives unclear instructions and assignments, often forgetting about them, randomly demanding them, or changing the instructions. Gets mad at students for not loving math

Such an easy A!!! On the final he asks you what grade you deserve and just hype yourself up and he'll give it to you! Not an interesting class at all but cant complain because it was so easy!

Dr. Hrinca has to be one of the most memorable professors I've had at Otterbein. He genuinely cares about each and every one of his students, and if you just show up to class and participate you will get an A.

Hrinca is great! Super understanding guy, makes you participate in class, is willing to spend time clarifying subjects and encourages students to help each other out. Projects/journals are a great way to boost your grade in the class.

Wonderful Prof! Knows his subject matter very well and cares deeply about his students. Great sense of humor - very understanding if you have to turn in an assignment late now and then. Don't miss his lectures,as most of the course content comes during class, not the text. Reasonable workload. Show up, pay attention participate & you'll do well!

Best teacher I have ever had. Very knowledgeable, understanding, passionate about math. I struggle with Math but he made class fun and easy to understand. He does expect you to participate in class, however, a good attitude can get you a FAR FAR way in his class. Very generous grader.
