Reviews of professor Michael Hatridge

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not amazing but i dont think he's the worst prof ever. His tests were a bit tricky but not impossible. He's pretty funny which makes the lectures not so bad. He'll curve the class at the end. From what Ive heard about other profs he's not your worst choice for 174. Expected him to be rude bc of this page; didnt think he was. Cool quantum research!

Hatridge was the most atrocious professor I have ever had. He is not accessible after class, his handwriting is dismal, the exams are so hard, the homework takes ages and is so difficult for no reason and he is generally unhelpful. I ONLY passed this class because of the curve. If you have ANY other option, take the other option.

Hatridge was a funny guy, but I don't think he was a very good professor. He was always going on tangents during class and going on tangents, so I didn't learn much in lecture. In terms of physics, he hates numbers and most of his problems do not contain numbers and are very intellectual. He is not willing to curve, so don't even try.

Dr. Hatridge is an extremely intelligent guy and his lectures were entertaining. However, the content in the lectures did not prepare me for the exams or homework. Dr. Nero's videos were the only reason why I passed. With how much I relied on Nero's videos, I might as well have taken the flipped class.

Did not seem at all prepared for lectures. He would come in and start scribbling on the board. His handwriting was awful and students would often correct him for all of the "typos" he would make. Was not very engaging at all. Exams were fair, but he refused to curve them when we did as he said "A little worse than I had hoped."

He has a bad rep but isn't a half-bad professor. If you work hard (yes you will have to do a lot of work outside the classroom) you can get a good grade in his class. I would recommend going to his office hours a lot. If you are here because you are stuck with him, I would recommend watching professor Neros videos, they helped clear things a lot.

During lecture, the teaching style is a little scattered. Notes are handwritten, which can sometimes be hard to read and seem disorganized occasionally. The lectures, however, were entertaining and seemed to pass fairly quickly while maintaining engagement. Homework is the same for all PHYS 0174 classes; it is fairly time consuming.
