Paul is AMAZING. Had him for meteorology and would take any of his classes. The guy truly loves what he does and it shows. Lecture is a lot but he has fill in notes which tells you exactly what u need to know. He hates homework so never had any. He basically walks you through the answers on lab days. Done? Leave early. Best professor

He was incredible! I already plan on taking another class with him. He is very passionate about what he does and truly cares about every student. His slogan is "Your grade is 10% the work and 90% your attitude". Meaning if you are trying hard and want to succeed he will make sure you do well :)

He is probably the best teacher I've had so far. He is very passionate about what he does and he makes it known. Engages with students and never gives homework. More than enough time to complete labs. Makes me look forward to coming to class everyday. Even if you are the quiet one in class he will make sure you are doing well and get you engaged.

Mr. Hamill is probably the best professor I've had at MCC. He really cares about how you're doing in the class, and takes the time to tell you exactly what you would need on each test to get a certain grade. Course work is layed-out extremely well, so it' easy to follow along and know what is expected. Labs generally take half the time allocated.

Comment:

The grades in this online class are all dependent on tests. Labs and discussions are easy point, if you give them your all you will get great extra credit. The hardest part is understanding the material and applying it to the tests. Although it's an intro class, it does take time to understand. He has great organization and is responsive online.

Honestly such a good professor. He cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. He is really easy going. I missed a test and he told me "just take it before the end of the semester and I'll be happy" He works around everything you need and teaches so clearly.

Mr hamill is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He makes lectures fun and engaging to listen to, and he doesnt give homework. All you have to do is show up to class, listen to the lectures on the different chapters, and know your stuff on test. Before he gives you your test he will tell you before hand what you need to study.

Were only half way through the semester and Im already sad I wont have him as a professor after this class. He's one of the best teachers I've ever had, he's very knowledgeable and answers every question you could have. He's also very funny and lectures are NEVER dull. Planetarium is also a plus. 10/10 teacher.

I took both meteorology and astronomy with him and despite how difficult both classes are, he knows his stuff inside and out and will be there to lend a helping hand. In both classes, my exam grades were horrific, but he still pulled through and I passed both classes with a C and B! As long as he sees effort, your grade will get a boost!

Very funny and down to earth teacher. The classwork can be very difficult and you'll really have to work hard at it, but you'll have others you can work with and he's always willing to help as well. Class is fun and never really boring; just be sure to pay attention as this kind of stuff does not come easy. Challenging work, but very fun class.

Comment:

Mr. Hamill is a great teacher when it comes to meteorology. He also isn't shy to be fun with his students. However, the work for this class can be tough. Some labs are hard to understand or are simply tedious and there are sometimes test questions not found on the notes. As long as you listen to his lectures and use online notes, you should pass.

Mr. Hamill is accessible outside of class. Whenever I have questions, I often visited his office even though this was an online class. As long as you submit assignments on time, and participate in discussion boards on a regular basis, you have no problem passing the course.

Paul was an AMAZING professor I ever had at MCC, for science! He loves what he teaches, and it will show through his lectures! He is very understanding and will help you if you ask. He loves to joke around with his students and make the morning more enjoyable. If you show up for class, and actually listen to him lecture, you'll pass the class!
