Reviews of professor Michael Hatridge

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you have taken physics before, he is not that bad, but if you havent had physics take someone else. He barely goes over content during lectures, mostly just him rambling and mentioning his research. Exams are overrated, they appropriately assess your understanding of physics. Best part is the clicker questions, always fun during lectures.

Hatridge is by far the worst professor I've ever had. Physics is very hard no matter who teaches it, but Hatridge did not explain material at all. He didn't do any practice problems that are anything like the ones on the exams. He teaches like you should have taken physics 3 times before. He is also very, very rude to students.

This class was a terrible learning experience. His notes are scribbles on an iPad that you can barely read. People say Niro's videos are helpful and I agree, but you might as well just take his class if you're gonna watch his videos anyway. He also laughed at students multiple times for asking questions. Overall, I would avoid this class.

Awful experience. Lectures were sloppy. Dr. Hatridge clearly knows what he's doing, but is very condescending and shows off rather than teaching. Midterm exams weren't terrible, but the final was awful. 61% average with a small curve. I was always above average on the midterms, but got a 62 on the final so i ended with a C+. Avoid if possible.
