Nice Guy, Awful Prof. Lectures were disorganized and useless. The final exam was extremely hard for everyone I talked to. Only mark I had below a 10 and it was a 6 including a 12 in math 1m03. Lucky commerce students.... (this isn't a required course anymore.)

Comment:
He's an entertaining guy, but a sub-par professor. Easily gets off topic and tries to hard to crack jokes. He only taught half the material he should have in lecture, and made the final insanely difficult in an attempt to lower the class average. Majority of the finals questions were topics he never discussed once.

Comment:
I think Hurst should completely clarify what will be on the test because a lot of people were not prepared for the second midterm. Looking back I realize my mistakes were not writing down every word that came out of his mouth. I ended up with a B+ in the course after writing down everything he said in lecture for the final. TExtbook is a must.

Comment:
Nice professor, good at teaching the content required for the course. His tests are quite difficult and requires a lot of studying on intricate pointless details. Although he can be entertaining with joking around, his lectures end up quite boring based on the content and the heavy reliance on slides. Textbook reading is mandatory for this course

1B3-Uncle Tony is the best prof i've had up to this point. Although his tests are a little bit hard, you actually leave the class having LEARNT a lot. His lectures sometimes can be boring but for the most part interesting..the course is dull at first but picks up with databases and computers (internal parts & external)..very nice educated guy!!

This guy actually taught something, he doesn't just read out of the textbook. So he isn't a full professor, big deal, that doesn't affect his capability to teach.
