Reviews of professor Jack Troutt

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Troutt is aware he's not a strong lecturer, but exams are based on lectures, so taking notes helps. Weekly assignments are easy, and group projects are hit or miss due to random teams. Skip the textbook; focus on formatting rather than writing. Overall, you can do well if you stay organized. Feel free to call out lazy/skating team members!

Dr Troutt is awesome. He did not use the textbook in this course, so you might not need it. This course is easy if you put the work in, and he gives a lot of extra credit opportunities for his students. He cares about you, and will set aside time to help you 1 on 1 if you need it. Great guy.

Troutt is a solid professor. Goofy guy with a great overall activity. This class in particular was very lecture heavy and was very dry in terms of actual material, but hey... a necessary class to get whatever degree path is what it is. He's a good teacher and is easy to contact with as well as grades fairly. Class was centerline easy/hard.

I took Aviation Law with Troutt. I remember lectures everyday. He gave us pilots great tips that we could apply in the field. I remember tests were somewhat doable if you study. The group project was a big weight in the grading, but he made it easy. You can spend a lot

(COVID timeframe) There is a lot of assignments, a couple a week. Use of discussion board assignments. Is very strict on his grading criteria but will make it clear over and over again. Very doable.

He makes lectures enjoyable and I could tell that he really cares about this students' success. Grading criteria and expectations on assignments are very clear and if he has to mark something down, he would always make a comment on it to let you know why the point was taken off. And those comments were always reasonable.

Professor Troutt is a really good teacher. Expect to write a lot of papers in his ethical issues class- I had to write 10 papers, plus many more 3 paragraph discussions. It can be a lot of work, however if you stay on top of things the professor will provide really great feedback and help you to succeed.

Tough but doable.

Professor Troutt is amazing. I took his AVSC3090 Dispatch class. There are papers and quizzes fairly often, plus a cumulative final project which involves a lot of writing. He is a tough grader, but if you listen to his feedback you will do fine. He is responsive and responds to emails as well. One of the best professors in the aviation program.
