This is an online course, but Professor Hernke is very personable and available online and in person if needed. He is very knowledgeable and wants everyone to learn to their full potential. He provides more than one attempt on assignments and quizzes, which is great to understand content. The vids provided are extremely helpful. My favorite class

This is an online class, so I never really interacted with this professor outside of comments on my assignments. This class was very straightforward, and you can tell that Professor Hernke knows what he is doing. Awesome job!

106 is online so I never had a physical lecture with him but his feedback was always good and allowed for resubmission to fix mistakes even if it was past the deadline. He actually wants people to pass this class and cares for his students.

prof hernke wants the best for his students. if something isn't working out just talk to him and you'll be fine. i had one professor the first half of this class and hernke the second half. i would recommend just taking the class when he teaches the full semester as diff teaching styles get confusing. HIS exams weren't bad. overall doable class
