Reviews of professor James Tucker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Wouldve given him a zero but it didnt let me. If you are not an accountant you wont understand anything that comes out of his mouth. 3 quizzes 3 exams 1 final. Doesnt let you keep graded material or take pictures/notes so you never learn from your mistakes. Dont go to class bc youll leave more confused. Only still teaches bc of tenure tbh.

I personally loved Professor Tucker. He does get a bad rep. But his classes and notes are organized, thorough, well spoken. He gives practice exams that reflect the exams well. Do the work and you'll do well.

Provides a lot of notes and resources for assignments and exams. Nice Guy. This class is 110x easier if you select this professor!!!

Very tough class. Tucker is extremely smart but has a tough time answering questions from students and explaining topics in a simple manner.

Most learning is done outside of class when you are completing the homework. In class is really boring and attendance isn't mandatory and honestly going didn't help me learn anything. If you come to class pretty consistently he bumps your grade up (A- to A+). Practice exams are exactly like the exam so make sure to do those when studying!!

You can tell Mr. Tucker cares about psychology. He seemed nice and tried his best with the online class format. Every week is the same: read the textbook chapter, take the homework assignment, study for and then take the test. Study the keywords from the textbook and you'll be fine. Definitely strict on no extra credit as well as the test schedule.

I failed this class once so taking it with him was too much better the second time. He teaches in a easy way to understand, however there are few grades. 4 exams and 3 quizzes.

I agree with previous posts. If you actually need things to be explained he is not the professor for you. His office hours are only from 8am to 10 or 11am on FRIDAYs which is just completely unrealistic. Hard class. If you take him make sure you do ALL the problems he assigns. Quizzes are absolutely impossible. (3 all 25 questions)

I feel like I could have gotten a better grade than a B with him. He gives you a lot of practice material to help prepare for the exams. I took his class during the COVID 19 pandemic so the class was made up of 6 mini exams and one final exam. I tanked the final exam because I was busy with other school work but still ended with a B.

Tucker cares about students doing well in class but does not explain topics well. He has good intentions and is a fair grader but he isn't great at explaining how topics relate to the real-world. Reads straight from textbook in class. If you do the homework and study you will do well but outside of class work is not enforced.
