Easily one of the best professors I've ever had. He is a former D1 athletic director so his insight is super valuable. Very interesting lectures and always encouraged the class to participate in discussion. Two easy group projects and weekly quizzes determined the grade. Intelligent and straightforward guy, would 100% take this class again.

Hatcher worked in athletics departments for 20+ years so he knows a lot about sports management and gave insightful information and perspectives. Pretty simple and straightforward class.

KIN 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.

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.

ESS 160 was a super easy class. The class is discussion based so while attendance was not mandatory it did help when writing assignments. Every week you had to write 2 paragraphs about a topic we discussed, we had to write a 2 page paper I think twice and take 10 question quizzes weekly. Easy class, its most fun when you actually participate.
