Reviews of professor Christopher Hutchinson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. He's very kind, on papers gives great feedback and incorporated extra credit if you revised according to his notes. Every class you gotta read the textbook and do discussions on blackboard. Discussions in class get really deep to where everyone is involved.

By far one of my favourite classes that I have taken and I do believe that Chris really made it. I found that his course outline made him feel extremely intimidating but as the class went on he is just very passionate about creative writing and helping others improve their writing.

Chris is a nice guy nothing against him personally. But he isint suited to teach. His midterm was just seeing how well you could recognize which passages from poets belonged to whom (there where hundreds/thousands of lines) which seemed rushed and taught me nothing about poetry. My dislike for poetry was only solidified not to mention literature

Would not take his class again, Chris is a nice guy but very awkward and I learned nothing that I didn't know in high school. We had a total of 5 things that made up our grade. His classes were kind of boring and having attended most of them, I could have used that time to study. He wasn't very accessible outside of class either.

He's a really nice guy and is a fairly easy marker, as long as you meet the guidelines/requirements. Only a few major assignments, and no final. Make sure to attend the class near the end of the term because he takes attendance. He's really easy to talk to.

Hutchinson is an awesome prof. He is an incredibly generous grader and he truly wants his students to succeed. He's always polite in and out of class and responds quickly to emails. If you do the readings in the textbook he recommends and show the knowledge from it in your papers you will receive a very rewarding mark.

Honestly, take Irene if you can get her. Chris rambled on far too much, a lecture that could be done in 30 mins ends up taking an hour. He seems very rude and full of himself, always brings up the fact that he wrote a book and has a workshop at MacEwan. Sent out an email to call out someone for confusing two words. Marks hard on discussions.

I used to find poetry boring but this class made me love it. The discussion posts are easy if you take the time to analyze the texts properly and watch the videos. In-class discussions are a big part and he notices who never speaks up. No textbook but assigned short story novel to read for the final essay. 4 discussion posts and 2 short essays.
