Honestly Hocutt is a good professor for cal 3. The HW is tough, throught and consistent, but if you get through it and understand it the tests are easy.

Tests are online via WebAssign and are easy if you do all the homework and review until you understand it. All of the lectures are posted online, but I recommend going to class so you can stay on top of the material. Don't look for short cuts. Homework is about 2 hours a night.

Great lecturer, nice guy - really willing to make time for you outside of class. Homework is thorough and prepares you for exams well.

Dr. Hocutt's the absolute best Math teacher I've had my entire life, bar none. He gives excellent lectures and is extremely helpful during office hours too. He's a really spirited teacher that wants you to learn and succeed, and he's hilarious to boot! HW takes 1-2 hours average, work on them and the tests are a breeze. He made Calc III a blast!

He is a great professor. He is passionate about what he teaches and really cares about his students. The hw can be a lengthy at times, but if you do and understand the problems, the class will be easy. He also makes reviews for every exam which aren't mandatory. If you go to class, understand the hw problems and the review, the tests are easy.

Hocutt is a great professor. He genuinely cares about whether students are understanding the material, and will go out of his way to ask students' opinions on how he runs the class (and then makes changes if needed). He adeptly explains the concepts in the class with visuals and relatable examples, and the tests are simple if you do the homework.

Genuinely cares about students understanding the material and making the best grade that they can. If you don't understand something, PLEASE go to his office hours. He makes himself very available and really wants students to ask for help if they're having trouble. Goes kinda fast during lecture but puts everything online. Good at covering material

Tries to make calc 3 as interesting as possible, and makes jokes to liven up the boring lecture topics. Listens to class feedback and adjusts the lecture style accordingly after each test (does more examples, less examples, etc based on how we feel).

Professor Hocutt is one of my favorite professors I've had at UA. He's a pretty rare combination of both passion for his subject, and being able to teach it clearly. He wants students to understand over anything else, and tests were always perfectly fair and never tricks. He was always happy to help, even when I got behind. High recommendation.

Very nice person who genuinely cares about math and his students learning. Offers multiple hours a week for asking questions about assignments. Homework due every other day but its needed to learn the material. Study guides given for every test and final super useful. Dont fall behind on material, as it builds on itself throughout the semester.

Definitely my favorite math professor. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and their success in this class. He explains concepts very well, and records his lectures so you can watch them online later. Overall a great teacher and great guy. Highly recommend taking him.

Calc is a hard subject all around, but he explains the material very well. There are four exams, the final, and weekly quizzes. All you have to do is take notes using his print out guidelines and do the test reviews. I would highly recommend him for any math course. You will actually learn and retain the material. Laugh at his jokes.

I took Hocutt for Calc 3. A solid choice for a calc teacher. Is willing to work with you outside of class if needed. BE SURE to study the test reviews thoroughly before the tests because the same questions from the review are on the test.

A truly great professor. He cares about his students, and above all, their learning. I got so much out of this class. You wont regret!

A tough class, but I learned a lot from it. I really appreciated the weekly quizzes he gave, they helped keep you on top of the material. I wish I could have had him for all my calculus courses.

Cal 3 is a tough class, but Hocutt made it easy to understand. The material starts off easy and gets much harder as the semester goes on. If you take notes in class, do the homework/test reviews, and ask questions, this class shouldn't be too difficult for you. He's always accessible outside of class as well.

Hocutt is an amazing professor for Calc 3. He explains all the topics very loudly and clearly (and doesn't rush through material) and doesn't make anything more complicated than it is. He takes attendance almost every day, but he also posts his lectures online, which is very helpful. Honestly one of the best math professors I've had,

Explains topics in multiple ways for different learners (i.e. proofs, bringing in old topics, or just rewriting equation in every problem to remember). Lectures seem long and he jam packs them, but helpful to do the examples with him. Lots of homework, but do it (do it right too) and you'll pass even if you don't pay attention in class.

Dr Hocutt is one of, if not THE best math professor I've ever had. He's very responsive to class feedback, and gives lectures that are easy to understand. The content of Calc 3 is not easy, but he made the course a very manageable A.

Great teacher, who keeps the lectures engaging. Really enjoyed the class and taught it well.

Take Professor Hocutt for Cal 3. He is not only a genius, but he is an experienced teacher who is good at conveying knowledge. Show up, do the homework, and do the test reviews. Bonus points available on every test.

Hocutt enjoys what he does but he can be boring sometimes. You need to go to class, attendance almost every day. Study for the tests so you thoroughly know the material and you will be fine. Homework can be excessive. you need to study, the final screwed my A

Dr. Hocutt is definitely the one to take for Calculus 3. He does a very good job at teaching the material, and if there is something you don't understand he is more than happy to take the time to explain it to you. You definitely have to work hard to prepare for the tests, as the reviews by themselves aren't enough to be prepared.

Hocutt was definitely a step-up from my Cal 2 professor. He was always very thorough and tried to answer as many questions in class as possible. Sometimes I felt like he went too far in depth into how it connected to engineering and I am not an engineering major so it was kind of irrelevant at times. Very accessible outside of class.

Professor Hocutt is great! Calc 3 is by no means easy but he does a pretty good job of not only explaining the materiel but also connects it to real life. Do all your homework and go to every class and you'll be decently prepared for class (I think he also gives you extra credit for doing every homework assignment).

Hocutt is a great teacher! He's really good at explaining things so that everyone understands them, and is really friendly and accessible outside of class. He lectures from start to finish every day but it's not boring. The tests are pretty hard, but a lot of the problems are straight from the notes, homework, or test reviews.

He is a great teacher and is passionate about this stuff. If you are not good at math, then you MUST do every single homework, in class and test review problem before each test, if you want a good test grade. I never worked so hard in my life for a class before, but I do not blame the teacher. He is a great choice and I doubt any others are better.

You should definitely do the homeworks and test reviews, but in class problems are VERY important to learn how to do. He records all of his lectures so you can return to those problems whenever you want. Great teacher but very hard class.

He puts up recorded lectures and blank note templates so he guides you through what exactly you're going to be tested on. The reviews aren't mandatory but if you don't do them you aren't going to do well, it's basically exactly like the test questions. Hard material but he makes the tests relatively easy considering. No extra credit or curving

Your grade is based on attendance, online homework, and tests. He replaces your lowest test score with your highest test score, which is extremely helpful. If you have trouble with something, go to his office hours. All in all, great professor, but as is with any math class, you will have to work hard.

The exams felt unreasonably short at first, and I scored badly, but I eventually discovered that I just needed to prepare better. It is very possible to do well on his exams if you practice a lot. Homework alone isn't enough to get the speed you need! Time yourself doing textbook problems and even redoing previous exams to get a feel for pacing.

Dr. Hocutt is getting flak recently during spring 2020, which was impacted by the corona virus. But this is what you need to know about when class was in person: He taught you what you needed to know efficiently and didn't waste time. He makes the test and tells you what you need to study. People are just salty they had to zoom instead of emailing.

amazing professor. he gives you excellent print-outs so its really easy to keep up with the lectures and not have to scribble down the extra stuff. the tests are just like the homework and reviews though they were a bit lengthy. posts his lectures online so you can view them later. he gives you everything you need to get an A.

I have taken professor Hocutt for calculus 2, calculus 3, differential equations, and linear algebra. He is one of the best professors Alabama has to offer and teaches the material in a very clear and understandable way. He also provides reviews that are pretty similar to his tests. I would highly recommend taking his class.

Solid professor, definitely knows what he's talking about, and really cares for his students. The tests and homework, however, are overly challenging and seem like rocket science compared to the examples in class. All of that said, he was a very good professor and the extra challenge has definitely made me more knowledgeable on the subject matter.

Very knowledgeable guy who is passionate about math. He connects concepts to real-world applications. He knows what he's talking about, which makes the class engaging. His test are difficult, but after the first one, you can figure out how to study- the questions aren't pulled straight from the review, so study in-class notes and homework as well.

Tests were fair and similar to the homework. Lectures were kind of boring and he wasn't always the best at answering questions in a way that made sense. He gave weekly quizzes but warned you about them a few days in advance. He was very nice, and you could tell he wanted the best for us. Ask him for a math fact.

Hocutt is an excellent professor because he is very passionate. He made linear algebra fun to learn, and even though it was difficult and dense with all the theorems and abstract concepts, he did a great job communicating the material. Tests and projects were hard but not too hard--overall good course

Amazing lecturer and teacher, but prepare well for the tests. I got an awful grade on my first test because they have a very short time limit. Despite that low grade, I was able to make it up with extra credit and the other tests. While others may scare you with horror stories, know that you WILL learn a lot as long as you are calm and prepared.

Professor Hocutt is a great honors professor, but this is an incredibly difficult class. He teaches a lot of information per class and doesn't post notes, so any missed classes can cause you to fall behind quickly. He will tear apart your work on tests and in office hours, but it's very evident that he wants all of his students to succeed.

Very interesting teacher. I was not a fan of the projects but they were doable and he graded easy on them. Class is all about matrices so get familiar with them. Great guy!

Great professor, clearly cares about the students and their success. You definitely need to go to class to succeed, and there are weekly quizzes. Everything is pretty straightforward if you go to class and pay attention, would highly recommend Hocutt.

Cares about his students. Great professor. If you go to his office hours he will help you so much. BEST MATH PROF HERE. He is passionate about teaching and about the material and it shows. Take any math class with him!!

Attendance is taken randomly once a week, doesn't matter though because you need to go to class for the pop quizzes and to take notes since they are not uploaded. Very good professor for this class, 10% bonus on homework for doing 24 hours early. Tests are on webassign.

Dr. Hocutt was awesome! He was a very clear lecturer and had ample office hours. He's not the best emailer, but is willing to help with any and every problem. He is great with partial credit on written exams and made probability super easy to understand. There's written Hw which is more theoretical and webassign-both are super useful to study!

Great professor, explains the concepts clearly in lectures and always opens the floor to any questions. Even though attendance is not required, you SHOULD go since much of the content taught in class is directly related to homeworks. The class requires a couple of hours a week of homework/study, so stay on top of everything and you're set.

One of the most talented lecturers I've witnessed. He can be a little tough on the grading front and a bit intimidating, but I wouldn't take linear with anybody else.
