Chris Herdman
Although a lot of students reflected that Professor Herdman's class could be less interesting, I do believe that he is an effective instructor and very helpful. Whoever is taking the class he is teaching should definitely go to his office hours. He is very helpful in explaining the questions students have and is very willing to meet students' demands according to their own situation. I found her explanation clear, the logic of teaching clear, and strong. I had an overall good experience with this class. Professor Hurtman is definitely not that kind of professor, making a lot of jokes and creating a great and funny class atmosphere that attracts students, but he is effective, precise, and helpful as a STEM professor.

E&M is definitely hard but Herdman is a pretty understanding guy and totally willing to go over concepts in office hours. Tons of homework and weekly reading quizzes. Exams are difficult but graded fairly.
Herdman is a really tough professor. I did not enjoy the class much, and it took up so much time that I could hardly finish the rest of my work. I think the main difficult for me was that once you missed one class, as I did, it was hard to catch up especially labs wise.
