Reviews of professor James Hutchison

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Overall good chem experience. Lectures online and explained well, but content is not updated and often had incorrect dates for HW/exams which was confusing and disorganized. Attendance mandatory, with no excuse for illness. But a good grader, with reasonable exams and homework assignments. Allows late passes which is really considerate.

James Hutchison is a wonderful fun instructor! He wants the best for all of his students and his grading is very forgiving. For College Chemistry 2 he allows 2 attempts on each quiz, and homework graded by completion, and he drops your two lowest lab grades. He emphasizes participation far more than perfection. Final is only worth 13% of your grade

Would recommend, only complaint is he can be a slow grader. Has lecture videos and practice quizzes in the chem 2 course I took which are very helpful.

Mr. Hutchinson is a great person. Loves sharing his favorite Chem stories. Lectures are slow & tedious, but you get through the semester easily with his fair curriculum. Can be really behind grading stuff sometimes, but not picky about grading criterias. Exams may be hard if you don't practice enough. Weekly contents may not be up to date.
