Mr. Chilcutt made OM300 an interesting class, something hard to do. Like all good teachers, he was less focused on what the book had to say and more focused on what we needed to know for real life applications. I would definitely recommend him to anyone taking OM 300 over other professors. The class was easy if you know your way around excel for hw

Hands down one of the best teachers in the business school! Honest and straight forward - willing to help and doesn't make you feel crazy or bad for asking for it. If you have to take OM 300 take him!! It was a class I never hated going to and it was a late class. Note card for test but would advise that you still study! Overall GREAT so take him!

Dr. Chilcutt is the nicest person I've ever met. Exams are not difficult at all if you spend some time to study. Make sure you know how to do the math problems, but usually he emphasizes more on concepts. Read powerpoint carefully because he throws some random concept questions from them. Gives 1 point for 90% attendance.

By far my favorite professor. Tests aren't easy but you can have a cheat sheet. If you read "The Goal" that's 5 points added on to your final grade. if you don't miss more than 4 classes you get 1 point on your final grade. If you go see him, he will help you out in any way possible! OM is one of the harder classes but he makes it very enjoyable.

He gives formula sheets for tests, and the homework assignments are pretty well reflective of what you should expect on the tests. For the tests, you are given a formula sheet, you can use any calculator, and you really just need to study vocabulary (they are all multiple choice). I thought the class was actually pretty interesting.

I don't understand all of the good feed back for Mr.Chilcutt. He is a fantastic person but when it comes to teaching he is terribly unorganized. We had 3 tests this semester all of which had major errors in them which makes his already impossible tests harder than before. He says his door is always open but hes always busy with meetings or students

Chilcutt is definitely the prof to take for OM 300. He has a lot of industry experience and makes the lectures as straight-forward as possible. He not only gives you three big extra credit assignments (up to an extra 6% total), but also makes a 90 a solid A so this can really help your GPA. He always answers questions and cares about his students

Dr. Chilcutt is the worst professor I've ever had. Exams don't reflect homework, and there's not enough time to take them, and he doesn't give them back for feedback. He put a wrong grade for the exam twice before fixing it. Communication is really bad. This may be a hard course but he does a really poor job and it's really frustrating and unfair

Chilcutt is great. Funny lectures keep you awake at 9 AM. 3 exams and optional final along with homework and occasional extra credit. Allows a handwritten cheat sheet for all exams (double sided for the last one). Go to class so you can get the PowerPoints sent to you, study those for the exams!! Don't study the homework or practice problems only.

Anyone who says Chilcutt is unfair or the class is impossible doesn't come to class. Understand the homework and use the cheat sheet for concepts and you will do fine on tests. Tests are not super easy and will require critical thinking. If a question is unfair and enough of the class misses it, he'll throw it out. 90+ counts as an A as well.

I really liked having him. Only 1 hw/week. Hw = 25%, 3 exams = 75%. 4 exams total, but can drop one including the final. Have formula sheet and cheat sheet on tests. He gives up to 2% extra credit on final grade. Gives you fill-in-the-blank lecture notes (heavily based on book). May bump your grade if you come to class. Have to work to succeed

This class is HORRIBLE with Chilcutt. Tests are UNBELIEVABLY hard and he never curves, even when the class averages an F. Miss one day of class, and you are completely boned on your test. He Teaches way to fast and expects you to know all of it. Great guy, horrible teacher. if you are not great with math, good luck. Also need a 70 to pass.

I LOVE this professor. If you go to class and pay attention, then you will do fine in the class. He really cares about his students, and while there are no curves on the tests, he gives plenty of extra credit to bump you to the next letter grade. Plus a 90% and above is considered an A. Would take again!

Chilcutt is a knowledgable professor with tons of experience. This class is only difficult because it's completely new material to most. Attendance is key. Go to class, get the powerpoint notes, and hear what he has to say. He often gives hints as to what will and won't be on exams. Study powerpoints and know how to do the HW and you'll be fine!

Chilcutt is one of the best professors for a required business class at UA! He is passionate in his lectures and doesn't waste your time (got out of class early all semester). He is very flexible and wants you to succeed in his class more than anything. Make sure to attend class he will make it worth your while and you will do much better.

Attendance is not mandatory but he does take it. He offers a drop test and up to 2% extra credit on your final grade. Take him if you can

Took OM300 twice in person. Took it a third time online. Just do it online if you want to pass and have fun at the university. Got a 95% online class. Failed the two times before. Online is easy peazy lemon cheezy. The advisors at Alabama arent the best, just take this class online. That goes with accounting too. OM300 and AC210 online is da move

AMAZING! Super nice, his T/Th class only lasted 45 mins max. All test questions come from slides he posts. We get a handwritten cheat sheet AND formula sheet. Always available in his office. The math can be intimidating at first, but having the formulas helps a lot. Tests are half mult. choice and half math. Extra Credit is offered. Recommend!

This class is not easy. He gives you a cheat sheet for the tests, and is always willing to help out when he can. Utilize the TA's during exams!! Always ask questions because he will go over examples during class. I highly recommend showing up for class because in class assignments are a big part of the grades and they are usually quick and easy!

Professor Chilcutt, despite the 8am class, genuinely make me enjoy the getting up in the morning for his class. The front-loaded course makes it a lot easier when your other courses start getting harder towards the end of semester. Several case studies at first, a handful of online modules (which can take a while). Overall, good lectures as well

Great professor, very likable and engaging in his lectures. Exams were easy if you're decent at math and study a little. Attendance isn't completely mandatory but sometimes there's an in class assignment for credit. I would recommend going to class either way, he takes attendance and sometimes will give you points for just being there.

Super nice guy but teaches way too fast; if you miss a day, you're screwed because his lecture slides are fill-in-the-blank and his study guides are questions with no answers. gets a cheat sheet, but that can only do so much. will tell you not to study the math, but study it; it's 80% of the exam.

Chilcutt is likely the best option for OM300, as OM300 is going to be quite difficult no matter the teacher. However, he moves incredibly quickly through the lectures and sometimes it feels as if you are teaching yourself the material. The tests were alright, but stressful since they're weighted so heavily. Overall, he's fine, but the class is meh.

While it is a challenging course, Professor Chilcutt does his best to make it doable and explains everything well! Attendance isn't required but he sometimes looks back to boost grades if you're on the verge. There are some in class assignments but you can tell in advance. He lectures very fast but normally class got out early.
