She talks down to all her students and doesn't seem like she enjoys teaching. She seems to like it when students fail her class. Her class is not hard, but take it with someone else if you can, because she is so unpleasant.

She was not very nice if you asked any question that showed you were not as brilliant as she thinks she is. If you do not do something EXACTLY as she wants it (even in matters of your personal opinion) she goes nuts, and you lose massive points. NUTS

If you ask her a question she seems to get annoyed & doesn't tell you exactly what she wants until it already has a grade on it.

She is a good professor. The assignments were easy. She sometimes talks down to students which is such a contradiction to what she teaches, but it's not that big of deal. Let it roll off your shoulders. You have to complete 15 hours of service learning. I liked the class.

She was a very understanding and flexible professor. Her class is not hard but you do get a lot of practice with teaching in front of people from this class. I really dislike that even though I have a 93 it is considered a B. Other than that she was good.

Dr. Hutchinson is the best! She is so kind, and does everything she can to help her students succeed. I truly enjoyed going to her class every week. There were only two tests, and as long as you take notes during the lectures, they aren't hard.

Great Teacher. Easy Class. Had two tests. She gives out a review before the test. Just go to class and pay attention and the tests are cake. I didn't open the book (save your money). 10/10 would take again
