Reviews of professor James Hatch

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very unreasonable attendance policy (2 absences and -5 deduction to final grade thereafter, no excused absences) and strict. Stressful learning environment. Continuously pretended to not see my emails and always believes he is in the right. Overall, very old fashioned and irritable. One of the worst experiences of my time at Temple.

You know those horror stories people tell about their terrible college professors? Dr. Hatch is the one you'll mention. He does a flipped classroom setting - students learn on their own and he does not teach. He is stubborn, unempathetic and extremely meticulous with his assignments. First teacher in my academic career to give out negative points.

Analysis questions due every class and printed - typically take 1 hour to complete. The procedural memo is a 6-7 page paper over the course of 6 weeks. Provides little guidance on how it should be written. Strict on grammar and language style. Attendance is mandatory. If you arrive after 8AM, you will be marked absent - 2 absences allowed
