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.

not an easy class and there are group projects and exams

I took ESS 160, 140, and 132 with Prof Hatcher Winter '20 quarter for elective credit. They were easily the most interesting and easiest elective classes I've ever taken. Hatcher wants you to do well and knows that you have other obligations besides these classes. Your grade is made up of 2 exams, 2 group projects and a presentation. Super easy!!

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.
