The worst professor you will ever haveMATH1341 2026-01-11 05:31:15 +0000 UTC
He amazing, I recommend to take him again!!!!!MATH1151 2025-09-29 21:09:41 +0000 UTC
Professor takes this class as a an opportunity to make kids rue the day they chose this elective. Incredibly hard homework assignments and tests. Lectures are interesting; however, there is so much work. By far my hardest class and my classmates can say the same.PHYS1111 2019-03-25 17:58:38 +0000 UTC
Wonderful teacher who is truly invested in making all of his students interested in the material. He goes above and beyond to excite students about the material and makes class consistently interesting. Also has a fascinating background in astrophysics.AS1111 2017-12-06 17:03:50 +0000 UTC

Deserves a 0/5, horrible professor.MATH1151 2025-06-06 08:52:14 +0000 UTC
WORST prof I've ever had. Copies the dean's pre-written notes on the board. Explains simple concepts like rocket science. Rude when you question his grading. Does not put in grades because “it's too tedious.” The one pro is that textbook problems match the weekly quizzes. I was only fine because I took calc in hs. I watched others who didn't fail.MATH1341 2025-12-04 00:37:39 +0000 UTC
I genuinely don't understand how or why this man is a teacher. He is unfriendly, does not prepare for lectures, rude, and disrespectful to students when they ask questions, and won't teach anything. I actually unlearned everything I had previously known about calc 1 since taking his class. If you get him, LEAVE.MATH1151 2024-11-25 01:43:48 +0000 UTC
Honestly, if he is your teacher, swap classes. Only did practice problems in class and expected you to know everything magically. He was just rude as well, didn't try and help or act like he wanted to be there.MATH1341 2025-12-01 17:25:58 +0000 UTC
Professor Hudon went out of his way to teach the material in a way that was understandable and made a real effort to make sure students were understanding the course. He also jokes around with the class from time and his passion for teaching is apparent in what is otherwise a somewhat bland lecture. Overall great guy and teacherMATH1151 2017-12-15 00:38:32 +0000 UTC
His lectures are him doing practice problems on the board - no explanation as to whats going on. If you dont have a calc background- good luck. He gives no partial credit, doesn't even bother to put your grades in canvas so you dont even know what you have, 1/2 of my class transferred out cause hes so bad.MATH1341 2025-11-14 14:48:21 +0000 UTC
if you haven't taken calculus before, don't take hudon because you won't pass or understand what's going on.MATH1341 2025-10-22 12:25:54 +0000 UTC
Rude to studentsMATH1341 2025-05-07 15:38:23 +0000 UTC
Professor Hudon is a DIFFICULT professor for Calculus if you don't already have some background knowledge of Calc. Classes are lecture-based and very difficult to follow along. Quizzes were mostly from the homeworks (not mandatory but you should do them if you want to succeed) with a few numbers changed. Okay dude, but maybe not the best professor.MATH1341 2025-01-17 16:27:34 +0000 UTC
DO NOT TAKE, HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO “Teach”.MATH1341 2025-01-11 02:32:54 +0000 UTC
