CollegeKIN 305: Very engaging professor, attendance wasn't mandatory initially but became so after too many students skipped classes and there weren't enough students to participate. If you participate in class and finish the weekly assignment you should do perfectly fine, his lectures are engaging and enjoyable.
Professor Hatcher is a nice guy and constantly goes over the syllabus throughout the quarter to make sure all his students understand what's expected and what upcoming assignments there are. His grade mainly consisted of a weekly quiz, 2 group projects, and a paper. He graded every assignment fairly and it was a relatively low workload class.
Such an engaging professor. Talks about relevant and relatable topics. Very simple and straight forward. Just attend lecture and review before the exams and you should be good to go!
If you need a couple of units, this is the perfect class. Really easy especially if you follow sports/sports trends, but you're not going to come away learning a lot of new things. Class often turned into an open discussion with the same handful of students always telling personal stories (lame!). Seemed like a high school class, but an easy pass.
Hatcher is super sweet and likable, but his lectures lacked structure and explanation. His assignments are straight forward but feel like busy work with no real application of the material. If you're looking for a laid back class that is hard not to get an A in, Hatcher is your guy. Classroom kinda stinks tho.
This class is out of 100 points, so just get those points up to whatever grade you want and you are good to go. Most of it comes from 6 5 minute quizzes every other week, which are easy if you go to lecture and do the minimal reading. Go to class and you will pass, thats it.
