Reviews of professor Hugh McIssac

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Honestly I love Hugh. Is he a little spacey? Yeah. But he leaves great feedback on papers, Assigns interesting readings, and his side tangents are funny! I feel like we could be friends. Attendance is mandatory... but is it tho? Quizzes on Friday-just do the readings and write your papers.

I think that with everything going on in the world, teachers should be a bit more flexible. Even with being sick, he did not allow access to notes or missed quizzes! I was trying to be safe by staying home due to sickness and I was being punished for it. He doesnt communicate with his students well. Overall not my best experience

He's a hilarious professor and sticks to the book and the material well. His exams are on everything he covers in class so not going won't be an option. only thing is that not taking notes will cost you.

It feels like what's on the tests isn't what he teaches in lecture. Lectures put me to sleep with his monotone lack of enthusiasm. No extra credit, and the first test of the semester had to be graded with a 47 point curve... to reach an average of 75%...

Not the best professor but not the worst. Tries very hard to be funny, mostly hit or miss. Class can get boring but it's not terribly bad. Don't even think about skipping class, you will bomb the exams if you do.

Does not test on the material he lectures on. Slides and information is taken directly from textbook, none of his own ideas. No extra credit and he really doesn't know how to teach. Large lecture and he doesn't respect his students and seemingly doesn't care if we succeed. Hated him, worst teacher I've ever had.

Nice enough guy but really makes you work for it. To exceed in this class you need to memorize and understand the one lectures content before the next. If you just wan to do okay then you can do less than that but if you want to pass you really have to try. The people who get an A are the exact type of people you'd expect so take that how you will.

Do NOT take McIsaac. He sent us an email saying he thinks the class average grade at the end of the semester will be a C+.... The first exam he curved 40+ points just to get to a C average.... His lectures are very boring, but you HAVE to show up. No extra credit..."don't even ask" as he put. His exam review sheets make no sense at all either.....

Exams are on small minute details that are skimmed over in lectures. Make sure you take good notes and pay attention the entire class or you will not pass. Almost no homework and only graded on 4 exams, final, and a research paper, so make sure you do well on all of these. Good teacher and lectures are not boring. Would take another class with him.
