Comment:

Dr. Hatcher was one of the best professors I've ever had! Her class wasn't too easy nor overwhelmingly difficult, if you studied adequately and did the homework exams were a breeze. Made the topic of discrete mathematics very accessible. Would gladly take again for another course.

Comment:

Would only recommend for Stats. For linear, the only students who got A's were those who are very theoretical-brained (they like Proofs and Real Analysis). She graded very harshly, and did take off up to 7% of a test grade for a single missed negative. She is very scattered and often forgot what material we were covering that day.

Comment:

Hatcher is a very smart professor and is knowledgeable about all math. The lectures were a little scattered and there was homework pretty much every day. The tests were graded hard and you could miss a lot of points for little things. Beware of proofs

Comment:

The quizzes and homework will be pretty easy but if you don't study for the tests you will fail. She makes lots of mistakes while teaching. I don't know if she doesn't care about kids passing or what but she will not curve/give extra credit. I was a point away from a C- which I need to advance. She wouldn't round my grade up. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

From reading some of the other reviews, it is clear to me that Dr. Hatcher is a good stats professor, but I would not recommend her for Calc 2. She is very scatterbrained with her lectures and since Calc 2 has difficult material it is hard to follow when she jumps all over the place. She only gives 3 tests and manageable amounts of HW

Comment:

Dr. Hatcher is super nice! She does a great job of explaining stats, which is already pretty easy. The tests are very fair and her examples in class are pretty similar to the tests. The only problem I have with her is that she started to speed through her lectures at the end of the year to the point that it was kind of stressful.

Comment:

During class Dr. Hatcher goes through exams that are very similar to the tests and quizzes. There were 3 tests, 11 pop quizzes, online homework every class, and a final. She is not that great at answering questions during class, but she had lots of office hours. I would definitely recommend.

Comment:

Really great math teacher in how she explains things. When learning new concepts she walks you through every step. But for that reason, you should show up to every class and take notes. Small amounts of homework due each class. Definitely would recommend.

Comment:

She's a sweet lady and this class is very very easy. The lectures can be a bit all-over-the-place, but generally make sense. The tests are pretty simple. I wouldn't recommend skipping every class, but you can definitely miss a bunch and still be okay.

Dr. Hatcher is awesome! TAKE HER!! She is clear and caring and her class ROCKS! It's pretty easy if you come to lecture. There's no textbook so you do need to come to class. I had her for Elem Stats nd would HIGHLY recommend. She gives a quiz once a week but they are short, from the HW, and resemble the exam. She also happens to be great at math...

Comment:

She provides a great blend of theory/explanations and examples, which makes learning from her pretty easy. Tests are essentially the same as the examples she provides and the homework. Not at all as hard as I expected the upper-level statistics class to be.

Dr. Hatcher is a great professor! At first the class is easy/slow but it definitely gets tricky as the semester goes on. Gives great explanations. There is nightly homework but it never took too long. Her "pop" quizzes can usually be expected. Also she bumped my grade at the end of the semester which was much appreciated.

Comment:

Dr. Hatcher is a great professor! Calc 2 is tough but she organized the material well and explained it well. Tests are medium-hard. If you get an A on the final you get an A in the class. Be careful because the final is tough and she puts some tricky questions on there. I would totally take another class with her!

I enjoyed her class a lot because she is extremely helpful and goes over most questions people have on the homework before class. She is a fair grader and gives partial credit on tests. The tests are not too hard. Study, do all homework assignments, and practice problems before the tests.

Comment:

Acted like she was teaching kindergarteners college level curriculum, so she went over the same things over and over again. It was easy material, and she babied us making it even easier. Homework every night (takes 10 minutes), pop quizzes to take attendance, and a few (short and easy) tests. The easiest A you can get from the math department

Comment:

I ended up going back to Dallas to my old calculus teacher for help because I just could NOT understand her. I got a 5 on my AP exam in Calculus AB so math isn't something I'm afraid of! She makes a lot of mistakes and is all over the place; homework will prepare you for tests though! I'd recommend looking over the material before class too.

I had a great experience in Dr. Hatcher's class! She is fun and helpful in and out of class. She's a fair grader and understanding of students who have extracurricular conflicts. Great for verbal learners- others had trouble with her teaching style though. Watch out for the final! It drops most everyone a half letter grade.

The professor is extremely excellent. She is very clear and always willing to help. Though the tests are not extremely easy, you will do really well if you do your homework and study (unless you are just a genius).

Hatcher was so nice and easy going. I've never actually enjoyed math classes. I HIGHLY recommend taking her. If you do the homework and pay attention this class is an easy A.
