Cool teacher, keeps class light and he will go out of his way to help.
His tests are hard because they cover alot of material. My suggestion would be flash cards. He is very helpful and offers an extra credit paper. Overall I enjoyed the class and learned alot.
Earth Sci Lab. His tests are very easy if you study and ask him questions when needed. There is no excuse for people who dont get an A from this guy. He is nice and friendly and a bit querky but all around good guy.
He is so funny. He knows what he is talking about, though it might not seem like it. All you have to do is show up, get the notes, sleep through class, study for the test, and get an "A". He is really easy, and definitely understands that the majority of students aren't majoring in Earth Science.
This guy is great. I enjoyed his class so much. He totally cracked me up and I had fun in his class, test cover alot, but flashcards are the way to go to study. The review sheets he gives are really close to the testing material. Your a fool if you dont take him
I had Professor Cutlip the first semester he ever taught and it was hard! He had to curve all the tests just in order to get a C average for the class. Maybe after a year teaching, he is easier.. but I'm a straight A student and got a C in his class! He is a nice guy though, and he will help you out if you have any problems or questions.
GREAT teacher! Notes are cut-n-dry, to the point, no useless information. Tests are straight from the notes...study and you'll get an A. Offers extra credit paper, but I can't imagine why you would need it. I wish he taught other science classes. No brainer...enroll in his class.
Awesome teacher!! He teaches on powerpoint and his notes (along with last semester's tests) are online for students. In my class he dropped the lowest (of three) test scores AND if you were getting a C for example in the class and took the exam and got a B, He'd give you the B foryour grade in the class. Take him if you need a science class!!!!!

Professor Cutlip knows his stuff. He is quirky and, if you listen, FUNNY. Pay attention and you will learn AND pass the class with relative ease. He is interesed in helping all students pass and will go out of his way to help you. If you need to reach him, email is the way to go. His eyes are mesmerizing. By far the bluest I have ever seen.
I had him for Earth Science Lab. He is very patient and will answer all your questions. If you study the labs you will ace the tests. Highly recommend!
I have taken two of Professor Cutlip's classes. He knows his stuff, and he's willing to help when you don't know yours. As long as you pay attention in class and study the lab exercises you really shouldn't have trouble passing the class. He usually gives opportunities for extra credit. I'd take other classes of his if he offered them.
Professor Cutlip is a laid back Professor; nevertheless, he manages to get things done. Although he is not always punctual, he is considerate and passionate in his teaching style.
Class is easy and some stuff is interesting. You do not use the book. Nice guy.
Took his Earth Science class and lab. Wants you to do well. One of the best science teachers I've ever had. Very good at explaining things. Normal, laid back, nice, helpful, understanding, good guy. I would definitely take his class and recommend him, especially if you don't necessarily like science!
He knows his stuff, no doubt about it. Always came in needing coffee and was frazled at times. He covered material well in class lectures. Gave handout and good test reviews. Broke learning into sections..ie planets marine weather geology
DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THE REQUIRED TEXT, YOU WILL NEVER USE IT! HE GIVES YOU ALL THE NOTES YOU NEED TO PASS THE TEST IN CLASS. GO SPEND THE SIXTY DOLLAR BOOK COST ON A FEW WELL DESERVED CASES OF BEER IN CELEBRATION OF HOW LUCKY YOU ARE TO HAVE SUCH A COOL INSTRUCTOR.
I'm not interested in Earth Science at all so everything he teaches is over my head. I've studied his notes and reviews and still don't do well on the exams.
I really don't care for science and the class was kind of boring but his a good teacher so if you have to take it, take it with him
I agree do NOT buy the book, I have never used mine it is a waste of money. He gives you everything you will need for an A! WONDERFUL professor; happy, helpful, easy! Cannot ask for a better prof!
He's easy, real easy. But he also ends class 20 minutes early and sometimes dismisses class altogether. It was a waste of my time.
Great teacher, very nice and funny. Makes the class interesting. Dont use the book much at all, he gives you notes to print out on angel and a pratice test. Just study his noted and you will get a good grade.
This was a lab course. He is very nice and helpful, but breezes through the labs in each class. Make sure you study for the tests!! We had 3 tests total. We never stayed the whole class either. This was a night course from 7-9:40p, and we were out by 8:30p every time. So that was nice.
Prof Cutlip ROCKS. He is so easygoing. He makes tests understandable but not so easy that you can't study to pass them. He is a geologist by trade. He knows earth science.
Great Class! Mr. Cutlip knows Earth Science. Take this class if you want to pass. Tests require studying, but if you come to class and study the outlined notes you will do really well. He offers some extra credit too, I wish I had done it, I would have gotten an A.
easy but lazy.. Gives previuos tests for reviews
Great Teacher BUT BUT his tests are really hard! I got A in all of them but had to study A LOT! 2nd test was the hardest, and average in class was 65! He is interesting and very knowlegable abt science. if you want and easy A pick someone else. or just STUDY!! and you might pass. he gives extra poins too:)
Very Knowledgeable but boring. Don't buy the book! Use his notes on angel & add to it. Get review tests from last year but still need to study hard! Extra credit alos. Never stay the whole time.
Cutilp is an awesome teacher. The lectures were interesting and you could always go to him for help. The only downer was his tests, you HAVE to study. Reviews and notes are always on angel and you can just print them out. Take his lab with lecture, you learn and test on the same information!
Very helpful and easy going. however, u wont learn much. Test are very detailed and review doesn't always help. I guess if u try..u can make a good grade in the class. Save ur money.. DO NOT BUY A TEXTBOOK FOR HIS CLASS!
Awesome teacher! Best sci teacher i ever took. Nice and helpful and SHOCK--he's actually interested in what he teaches and will actaully answer any question you have. Yes, his tests are hard. BUT he gives HUGE curves. Every1 failed one test and the curve was 14 points!! Plus he gives extra credit. His lab is the same. Def recommend to everyone.
Mr. Cutlip is a great professor. He is very helpful, interesting and funny. I would recommend everyone to take his class and lab.
I took him for earth science and the lab. I got an "A" and a "B". Is a easy teacher. Take the lab and lecture class at the same time if possible, they coincide with each other. I would recommend this teacher to anyone.
great teacher. Very helpful!! One of the best in his subject by far!!
Funny guy, can expplain anything and makes fun of himself all the time. He just needs more coffee.
He is really easy, if you cannot pass his class, then you must be totaly brain dead. Very understanding to his students and is willing to help. He actually cares about what he is teaching and has experience in his field. would def recommend
Professor Cutlip is an excellent teacher who grades on a curve for test, does not require attendance but hightly recommended does not uses text books (saves money) and understands a lot of student are not science majors. If anytime you have a question for him he will take ample time out of schedule to make sure you understand the subject.
enjoyed this class
STAY AWAY FROM HIS LAB CLASS IT WAS THE WORSE I HAVE EVER TAKEN. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LAB AND WANT TO PASS DO NOT TAKE HIM. WHEN HE GAVE AN ASSIGNMENT THE WHOLE CLASS WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH ASKING HIM QUESTIONS. PEOPLE WERE CHEATING ON HIS TESTS CUZ HE REALLY DID NOT EXPLAIN THE WORK. HE ALSO DID NOT GRADE OUR LABS. HE'S THE WORSE DO NOT TAKE HIM
LAb. You take three tests and the average is your grade. The hardest was memorizing rocks and minerals, but he makes that as easy as it can be. Before each test he goes over exactly what you need to know for the test and nothing more. Best choice for Sci lab.
AWESOME teacher. Extremely knowledgable, dry sense of humor but when he laughs at his jokes and no one else is its funny. Really cool and down to earth, dont need text book just take good notes!
No textbook required. All notes on Angel. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. Uses powerpoint for lectures. Need to study for all tests. One written assignment for extra credit. Lab wasn't labor intensive, but need to study for tests. Learned a great deal of information in his classes.
Awesome teacher! I was absolutely NOT interested in this before I started the class but I learned a ton and I liked it! Especially if you are not a science major, TAKE PAUL CUTLIP! TAKE PAUL CUTLIP! TAKE PAUL CUTLIP! He does not use the taxtbook-do not buy it. But, TAKE PAUL CUTLIP!! Nice guy, too!
ok, ive had a lot of good teachers, but this guy soared to the top, he is helpful, he is funny, and most of all he is awesome at what he does. if u want an easy fun class that u dont gotta be there every day for then this is it, just dont sleep in his class, actaully pay a little attention, take a few notes and ur in. he will help u in any way shap
Shows plenty of enthusiasm.It was surprisingly fun for a science course.no book required.review sheets need to be a little bit better.If anyone fails or misses ONE test,he drops the grade.It is just a tone of memorization other than than take him.He will not disappoint.
Ok for a science course,he is very energetic.There is a ton of memorization.I wasn't too impressed with his review sheets.Positives:he doesn't care about attendance,and no book required,and lowest test grade will be dropped,notes match the power point.take cutlip
Loved this guy. Extermely knowlegable on this subject. His lectures rock. He brings it down to a level that you can understand...came out with an A!
With Lab. Cutlip is an outstanding teacher. From the perspective of an older student, I learned more from him in 10 weeks than my whole life in a subject area I never put much consideration into. He provided the keys to many scientific areas I've always wondered about. If you take any of Prof Cutlip's, you'll be glad you did.
Paul Cutlip was the best teacher I have ever had. Every week I found new things to be amazed by. I wasn't interested in science but now I am applying for science courses, all thanks to Professor Cutlip! I couldn't recommend him more highly.
the guy rocks
Very interesting course, but its all tests. He gives extra credit and has recently moved his tests to online. He gives you the option to take the tests in class though. Don't need the book just print out the lecture notes and do the reviews and study them more than one day before the test.
He is amazing! Gives lots of help no need for a book offers great extra credit and he even drops the lowest test grade is always willing to help out anyway possible...all you need to do is print the notes off line and study for the tests and its really easy to pass the class plus the class is WAY fun!
He is a refreshing change from the norm. He makes learning fun. He applies things to every day life & he is a caring professor. You will learn if you show up. Took him for the lab also. Don't buy the book. He offers extra credit & drops lowest test. He is a credit to SPC & glad I had the opportunity to take him. He loves what he does & it shows.
He has a passion for science that's obvious when he speaks, and it's very infectious. He never condescends or makes you feel silly for asking a question, and you will learn a lot if you pay attention. A bit of an absent-minded professor, so don't expect to get your tests back on time.
Awesome person. Teaches to powerpoint and master notes (ANGEL). study "master notes" and you'll ace all tests. Only grades are from tests, drops lowest quiz; final is mandatory. Online tests are awesome! He is very passionate about this subject ... but never arrives early, barely on time LOL. Great guy. Subj matter is elementary school level.
Its an esay A. Very intellectual about geology, I just wish he would have done more oceanagraphy. Very approachable, nice, and don't cheat or he will get mad. Take him!
I took him for the Earth Science Lab. I believe I showed up to class more than he did. There were only two tests. I studied for each one in my car for about 15 mins before class. EASY A
You do not need the book. He is very flexible with his students and is very passionate on the subject matters. No homework. Study off his "master notes" and you will get an A.
Don't really know what you want to do in college? Take this class. This course can give you a great overview of many different subjects and future job opportunities. Professor is great, as many have said, has a passion for what he does and will teach you as much or as little about the subjects as you want. That said, he's often late on grades/class
I took him for lab but not the class. He's a really nice guy and very clear while instructing. But I took a lab class and did almost NO lab experiments...just paperwork that I could've done in my sleep, which is a letdown. And his lab class was very far ahead of all the regular classes which isn't very organized in my opinion. He's an easy A.
I loved this class! It was such an easy A and the teacher is really cool. His test are just like the study guide, I didn't go too often but I still got an A. Definitely take Cutlip for any class he offers!!!
I have never been any sort of science buff, but I loved his passion for earth science. He made it interesting, never dull. Cutlip is an intelligent, articulate and caring teacher. Wish he taught more subjects,I'd take them all.
BEST GUY! VERY NICE, VERY HELPFUL AND HIS CLASS IS VERY EASY! I told him I don't have money to buy the book, he helped me out about that. Very nice guy! I will recommend him 300%
I hated science before I took this class. Professor Cutlip made it so interesting that I actually invested in a telescope to examine the moon. This is NOT an easy A class, I studied for hours to pass the tests. It is worth it though this class is so interesting!
His lectures are interesting and he has a sense of humor. He gives you notes and a test review for each test. Three main tests and the lowest dropped...then your final. This is not an easy A class and does require a lot of studying for each test. Make sure you learn and understand all the notes and review questions.
Had him for Earth Science over the summer. Great teacher. Really really knows his stuff. he provides power points and study guides so you dont need a book at all, but you really have to study for his tests as they are kind of hard.. overall GREAT TEACHER** very helpful too!! Youll do good in his class if you just study for test
Took Prof. Cutlip's Earth Science class and was one of the few science teachers who doesn't more me to death. Great teacher for those who are not science fanatics and just need a credit. He uses visuals to help you understand what he's talking about which helped me immensely! Will ramble a little and throw in a joke or two now and then.Good teacher
Very good and helpful. Just do the reviews and you will be fine.
Tests over-complicated, he's very scattered and disorganized. Studied online powerpoints, but when it came to the test, wasn't much help. Felt lost in his class. Not enough opportunities to do well.
I took this professor in class really is very helpful and amazing in everything he does, he really likes to give you test, he also has study groups in class which helped alot.He explains what is going to be on it,he enjoys what he is doing and really liked his class learned alot.
One of the easiest classes in the world. This guy will basically walk you through class. He tells you what is on the test and provides a study guide. No hw and 4 test plus final. He will also drop the lowest test score. Doesn't keep attendance, I never came to class and finished with a high B. All I did was study for the tests. Gives extra credit.
This lab is exra easy.There is only 2 test & class exsercises that count as a have of you grade.The class assig. are extremely easy & is the same material that going to be on test. reccomend to take this lab on summer,he ends up eliminating a lot due to the short amount of time.1st test about the assigments in class.2nd only to name 15 minerals.
Easy A. Take it on summer & it's more convinient. There are 3 test and I final. During summer is no to mmuch time so he'll end up eliminating a test. so you'll only have 3 test and he drops the lower score. No use of the book, extra credit easy and it add 5% to you grade so I recommend that you do it. An easy A....
What a joke. This class is so easy. I didnt learn much, but he is very entertaining. You have to sit through his liberal tree hugging lectures and listen to how he was in the marines (played in the band) before he gets to the meat of anything. His Facebook page is a good read if you like a college professor slamming the political right. Easy A.
One of the best professors SPC has to offer. Highly qualified (PHD from Texas A &M). Explains lectures with helpful videos and diagrams. Knows his audience and lectures in an entertaining fashion.
He is hilarious, I learned a lot from him, easy class and very helpful if you ask for it. I would take him again. Nice guy, easy A.
Cool guy, his lectures are him reading straight from the powerpoints, he doesn't require you to buy the book so don't. He doesn't use it at all! Given three tests he automatically takes your grade from the last one but he chooses your highest grade from the first two. No homework, lets you earn EC for 5 points at the end of the semester too!
I would definitely take Professor Cutlip again! He gets so excited when lecturing and you can tell he truly loves what he does. He is an amazing professor and is also willing to help you improve your grade. I would definitely take him again. You dont need the textbook, all his notes are on the powerpoint
Dr. Cutlip is amazing! He has long, but very interesting lectures (everyone shows up to class even though attendance isn't mandatory!) There is no book required, 3 texts, and no midterm/final! Class never runs the full time!
He is an amazing teacher. Very passionate. But he wastes your time. Every week he would say we will have lab and we never do. 3 tests. No final. As long as you do the homework you get 100% on it. Labs are very simple. He's not punctual and cancels class at last minute. Overall good teacher
This class isn't very hard. Lectures and study guides are online, homework is a completion grade, and there is no final. Professor can be scatterbrained at times, but he gives good lectures and explains things very clearly. He's a very laid back guy, so don't be intimidated if you need to ask for help or something. There are a total of 3 tests.
Professor Cutlip is the professor you want for this course. His priority is your learning not ensuring that his course is difficult. He tells you exactly what will be on the exam, doesn't take attendance, and basically gives you an A on his homework, so long as you try. He is hilarious and made learning about rocks interesting. My favorite teacher!
Loved this class. Not a hard grader at all! Do the homework assignment/lab and you get a 100% There are 3 tests and all were a little tricky, but not terrible. It was supposed to be a two hour and 15 minute class, went for at most an hour and a half. Would take again!
3 TEST, 3 HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS, 5 LABS IN CLASS. HOMEWORK TAKES A LOT OF TIME BUT AS LONG AS YOU ATTEMPT TO DO THE ASSIGNMENT YOU'RE FINE. REVIEWS THE TEST BEFORE IT IS GIVEN 2 DAYS PRIOR. TAKES TIME TO GRADE ASSIGNMENTS BUT EVENTUALLY GETS IT DONE. FAIRLY EASY COURSE AS LONG AS YOU PAY ATTENTION AND DO ALL ASSIGNMENTS.
Incredibly understanding!!! Impossible not to pass. All grades other than tests are based on effort and make up 66% of grade. Have to study for tests but possible to get B without best test grades. Lenient. Likes to joke. Knows and enthusiastic about science. Interesting! BEST CLASS FOR NON-SCIENCE MAJORS. Nice person. UNDERSTANDS COLLEGE STUDENTS!
Dr. Cutlip is definitely my favorite professor that I've had at SPC. He explains the material in terms those who aren't familiar with science are able to understand. Attendance isn't really mandatory, but if you want an A, I suggest going. Plus it's genuinely really interesting. 3 Tests, 3 short papers, some labs. Easy A if you try.
Professor Cutlip is an amazing instructor and I wish he did more class. Also, I'm taking him for Historical Geology during the summer term. He's very respectful and understanding if you have any problems just go and talk with him. He's one of the small percent of teacher here who wants all his students to pass his courses.
I do think this class is easy but he sucked. I am not picky when it comes to professors I know we are going to have to work to get a good grade. He not only is super lazy when it comes to grading, he also randomly grades assignments differently depending on his mood. He is nice and emails back but he also kinda sets you up to fail on mid & final.
Dr. Cutlip would never take the full time to teach the class we would be in class no more than 30 minutes until someone busted him as in another professor. We are paying for the teaching and were not getting what we paid for. He is very lazy and expects you to know everything on your own. I would not recommend this teacher to anyone.
One of the worse SPC has to offer. Lazy, takes forever to grade (like weeks), unhelpful, rude (actually belittles textbooks), WAY too much of his own input and own "exercises", amount of work expected each module is ridiculous, unhelpful, non-engaging, reviews don't even come close to whats on quizzes or exams - just ridiculous. I paid for this...
Dr. Cutlip is a phenomenal teacher, he is a bit unorganized when it comes to projects and tests. He is definitely a mentor and someone I would look to for guidance once I begin teaching students.
I would avoid this professor like a plague! Might be okay in person, but online he is NON EXISTENT.
Dr. Cutlip is funny & engaging. His class & lab are really informative. He doesn't use the text book in lecture, but is very knowledgeable & takes time to explain anything you have a question about. He is a bit unorganized, takes awhile to grade & test reviews could be a little clearer/earlier. I would still high recommend though, overall great.
This professor deliberately gave me a lower grade on an assignment because I complained about not being able to access his final due to HIS error. I've received all 100% on his "reviews" which is nothing more than defining terms and open book questions, but this time, he decides to take off 10 points with no justifiable reason or explanation. Nice
Prof Cutlip is a great guy and teacher he combines science with History my favorite lectures from him is space and some palaeontology Dinosaurs if you ask a question he loves to go into detail. This is a person I wouldnt mind going out in the field with and look for fossils.
great professor allows for bonus points on test if complete the study guide papers due by end of the semester super easy only about 200 word min.
Gets down to the foundation of what you'll need to pass in an interesting way. Reviews before tests. Lots of opportunities to make up work and lectures. Funny and down-to-earth. Easy and slow. Great guy.
Prof Cutlip is one the best Science teachers out there. the class is fun, he's not a boring teacher, in fact the way he lecture will make want to switch your major to science if you one of those students who doesn'tknow what you want to be in life. Wish I could say more but my characters are limited. Take his class and you won't regret signing up.
Has 4 tests the entire year with study guides provided which are the actual test in order only 60% of total grade. There is no homework and no textbook. There are lab exercises that are purely graded on participation and he does not take attendance at all.
Professor Cutlip is one of the best instructors I've had from any science class. Hes amazing, personable , and gets down to the point when it comes to his lectures. He's very understanding but don't let it fool you you should work for it ! Overall amazing professor ! Should totally take for any science that is needed!
Online he's a different professor. PROS: You can work ahead. CONS: He's barely present to respond to emails throughout the course. more work per module than an express 8wk course.(Difficult busy work) chapters are huge and 80% of the study guides aren't like the quizzes. Mid/Final Proctored
This professor is amazing! He made earth science so interesting, and his lectures are short and to the point. He is extremely understanding, and all work can be made up. Tests are challenging, but a review is given and if you study you'll be fine. There is no homework besides labs and 3 tests. Highly recommend taking him for any science class!
Prof Cutlip allows for the 1st 3 Modules to be worked by the mid-term & next 3 are due by Finals. He quickly answered any questions I had & graded assignments quickly. There is ALOT of reading & time-consuming labs, not hard but lengthy & the quizzes are a bit tricky so be prepared to do a lot of work. Nothing crazy, easier than I thought it'd be.
Earth Science 1000C is a great course to obtain your "lab" science component for an AA or Bachelor's degree. No homework unless you miss an in-class lab, only 3 exams, and no textbook required. Prof Cutlip is funny and engaging with lectures. You have to try hard to not get an A in the class! Lots of extra credit given!
Dr. Cutlip was a great professor. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Earth Science. Personally, I thought the class was rather easy, but I have an affinity for geology and astronomy so I knew most of the material already.
Professor Cutlip is amazing! He's a really great person and super fun to listen too. All of the work was manageable, and I also learned a lot. You can tell he's extremely knowledgable. I'll miss being in his class
Awesome professor. Take this class! The only way you can get anything lower than an A is by not trying at all.
Awesome awesome awesome professor! He's a dork when it comes to geology but that's what makes him amazing! I never thought someone could make rocks funny. I would take Dr. Cutlip again for any class! Take him
Science isnt my strongest subject but professor Cutlip took the time to explain everything to me and even made zoom appts for extra help. I wish all teachers were like him.. Great professor
Took his class online during covid and he's amazing. He made videos explaining assignments if students were confused, and all the assignments were due by midterms and finals, which made it less stressful if I had to skip homework for a week or two when I was sick. You can easily keep up if you do about 2 or 3 assignments a week.
Professor Cutlip is great. He goes above and beyond to ensure you understand the material (YouTube videos, private meetings, e-mails, etc.) and is really lenient about due dates. There are a lot of assignments, but he's an easy grader. Proctored midterm and final. Overall, a cool guy who loves what he does.
A great teacher who cares about his students. Proctored midterm/final but easy as long as you study!! Posts videos about assignments that are very helpful. The only way you can fail is if you do nothing. Definitely take him, you won't regret it.
Great teacher, clear on grading and interesting lectures. Understanding life happens and works with his students. The class was extremely easy and I learned a lot.
Prof. Cutlip was a great professor! He is very clear in direction and well at responding to emails. He lays out assignments and labs so that it easy for you to understand, his class is actually pretty interesting (& this is coming from someone who dislikes science.) There are no due dates, as long as you have it done by the exams, you are good!
We used online books/resources and you don't have to pay for them. He is an amazing professor who knows what he is talking about. However, be ready to read; time management is IMPORTANT. He will answer any of your doubts anytime. Each module has a quiz, reading, short activity, and other activities related to the reading.
Professor Cutlip was amazing. If you do exactly what he tells you to do as in follow the syllabus, try your best on the lab assignments, and study the quizzes you will pass the class. If you don't know the answer to something that is ok just ask him he will help you. He makes class very interesting and will work with you.
I am not a science person, but Professor Cutlip makes earth science class interesting!
Prof. Cutlip is a great professor and really cares about what he is teaching. I learned a lot even though I did take a summer course which is a faster pace. He responds frequently to emails, and the assignments are fun to do. I would take another class with him if I had to.
prof cultip is so fun to listen to! he really loves science and tries his hardest to make the lectures interesting. you could show up to the review, make a quizlet and easily pass if you wanted to. as long as you do the labs you will be fine. I took an in person 16 week course.
Dr. Cutlip is great. He is so dedicated to his work and to all of his students (even online). I definitely emailed him with a lot of questions but he was always willing to help. As an Early Admissions student, I was scared of this class because I hate science but this class was great. Overall, TAKE THIS CLASS you wont regret it!!
There are only two due dates; before the midterm exam and the last exam. He has a great personality too.
Professor Cutlip is one of my favorite teachers. I took him in the summer and the work was not overwhelming. There are 3 tests and 11 labs with a test review sheet for all tests. If you study them, you will do well on the tests. His lectures are posted online if you miss class. Responds to emails quickly and will meet outside class if you need to.
One of the more fun classes I've taken to get my associates and the professor helped make everything fun to learn.
One of the easiest classes I have taken. There were a few labs, a 1000-word paper, and two unit tests. The tests are done through honor lock. The whole test comes from the review sheet. If you do and study the review sheet you will be fine. All the lectures were prerecorded and easy to watch back. All work is due the morning the semester ends.
Super easy class. All labs were online. Some had a little video to introduce it and walk you through what to do. Basically, all labs were graded on completion. If you missed class, the lecture was posted online. There were three unit tests. All the material on the tests came from the study guide. If you study and do the labs you will be fine.
To be honest, I didn't even start working on this class until the week before the semester ended and I still managed to finish every assignment with ease and received an A. He has a great sense of humor and is very passionate about what he does. I highly recommend Mr. Cutlip to anyone considering choosing him as a professor. Don't wait like me tho.
the best professor I have ever had at SPC. he made the classes FUN. I do recommend studying for the tests, they are in person and are somewhat difficult even if you do study all night. the assignments are all due at the end of the semester but personally, it made me procrastinate. he loves questions so ask away. I highly recommend
I kid you not, if you want the best class of your college take Professor Cutlip. He is simply amazing. I'd never rate any professor but him. Just so so amazing. Easy A
Professor Cutlip was probably my best professor at SPC. He's very passionate about what he teaches and makes his lectures entertaining. Labs are online and a completion grade. Only lectures 1 hour of the 2 hr 15 min block. Only downside is 3 in-person 50 question unit tests, however he provides plenty of study materials to help you do well.
This professor made this class very fun. He was absolutely awesome and funny at times. Thoroughly enjoyed taking this class. Learned a lot and he was super laid back on attendance. Class work was also very easy.
Good professor, he is really nice and chill. He does not take 2 hours and 15 minutes to lecture but only 40 minutes to 1-hour lectures. But he is late to class a lot.
I took this class over the summer, and honestly, most straightforward science class I've taken. He doesn't try to trick you or put something unexpected on the test. He gives a review. It's all up to you to study after the lectures.
I really like Professor Cutlip's set up for online classes, There is zero due dates besides the mid term and final. He gives you multiple modules all due on Dec 7th. You pretty much get to decide how fast you want to complete the class although im not sure if all his classes are like this, I really recommend taking this class. Very easy/informative
Mr Cutlip is amazing, he is very clear on his expectations and very quick to answer any questions you have. grading heavily based on the unit test but incredibly easy. He provided study guides and a video for all test. labs are in class, if you miss makeup is online but a little more effort to complete. This class was amazing and so is Mr. Cutlip!
Over all he has been an absolutely fantastic professor, 10/10 would take a class with him again. He is very clear about his expectations for his class and all work, he is also extremely understanding when life gets in the way and will do what he can to help any of his students.
First professor that made me engaged in a science course. You can tell he enjoys what he teaches and His lectures are short (30 mins-1 hr.) All our labs were online except for 1, which was just observing rocks. He provides study guides for all his Tests/ tells you what to see. gives you the whole semester to turn in work but don't procrastinate.
Professor Cutlip is amazing. I wish I had room in my schedule to take him again because I 100% would. Earth Science was such an interesting class. He made all topics enjoyable and he is the type of professor that is clearly passionate about what he teaches. The class is extremely easy but again- not boring. Super nice guy. Take him!
Professor Cutlip is obviously very passionate about what he does and will happily take any science questions you have, regardless of whether or not it's being covered in any of the tests. He really cares about his students, he even helped me ID a rock that I personally owned. He's also super flexible about test dates and the like.
Best professor ever, he makes his class so enjoyable and easy to understand. He is also really funny and flexible If you have the chance definitely take his earth science class I personally loved it
So far, Prof. Cutlip is great. He gives out study guides well in advance and gives a lot of prep for tests. His lectures are literally the best I've seen and he really cares about making subjects easy to understand.
Professor Cutlip makes this class really enjoyable. Lectures are engaging, and he's always willing to help. Assignments are manageable, and Unstuck ai was a great study tool alongside the provided materials. Definitely recommend taking this class!
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! I have never enjoyed a class as much as I enjoyed Geology with him. I was referred to him by a colleague and he exceeded my expectations. The different types of projects, concept sketches, even "field trips" throughout the course made me really appreciate the course the materials and his efforts as a professor.
Genuinely one of the best professors I have taken. His lectures are amazing and he is incredibly lenient with when you turn in your work. You can tell he really cares about the subject he teaches :)
Professor Cutlip is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and kind. I actually enjoyed science for once while taking his class. There's lots of online labs but they are fairly easy and as long as you study, you will do well on the tests. Highly recommend him!
Professor Cutlip is great. Work was clear and easy, mainly readings, sketches, discussions, quizzes and other work. Midterm and final, but open book and not proctored. He did not really answer emails, which kinda sucked but he does send emails to everyone as updates.
Professor Cutlip didn't have due dates, which I liked. He took a little while to grade things, but he emailed us to let us know that he had things going on for work or something personally which I didn't mind. He responded to my comments on my submissions and was very kind. Very easy A+ if you can keep up with no due dates.
Professor Cutlip is just the bee's knees. I'm so grateful to have has a professor like him. you can tell he genuinely cares about his students, and he is so passionate about what he teaches, he makes it so easy to stay engaged in his lectures. I hope to have a professor like him again.
