Wonderful teacher. Fun and enthusiastic, willing to go the extra mile to help students. A pleasant professor to have. Will learn in his class
i couldn't concentrate in this guy's class. he was a great teacher and all...just SO hot.
He is really cool and fun
good teacher, will give you extra help if you don't understand something even if you catch him on non office hours.
Ridiculously HOTT! Very helpful, attendence is not mandatory and tests are pretty much identical to the study guide he gives you. I am horrible at math, did not try that hard and still got a "C." Love him!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He keeps working on things until you understand. He offers free tutoring too.
He makes math fun and enjoyable, works with students till they understand how to solve math problems
Great teacher, if you don't understand something he will try to explain it in another way until you do & will give you extra help;just ask him.
really good teacher. is interesting and fun
Awesome teacher. He was hilarious and made the class interesting. Real down to earth and gives all the time in the world to his students. I highly recommend him.
Wonderful teacher. Absolutely hilarious, down to earth man. He will do just about anything to pass you. Best class so far!
Kick ass math teacher.
This man is amazing. He doesnt kill you with hard problems. He's fair, funny and help you alot. Once he stayed after class and watched over me as I was practicing on some harder questions from a harder section. I have a class during his office hour and he told me if I want I can call him and he'd come to my class and help me. What a nice guy.
.....
very nice teacher, would recommend him to anyone who needs to take this class regardless of current math skill level.
Missed alot class and tried to cram all the material in at the last.
This is guy is clear on everything. He helps you with the homework and his exams are exactly what he says is going to be on the test. I enjoyed his class, probably the best math teacher at Willow International that is clear and cares for his students.
Mr. H is amazing. He is incredibly helpful and will bend over backwards to help you. He is kind, funny, and engages the whole class. I HIGHLY recommend taking him for a math class...all your past math experiences will finally make sense:)
Funny, great learning evironment and some eye candy to boot :)
Excellent teacher, funny
This guy was so helpful, when I look back he is the reason I was able to pass Calculus 1 & 2 (Math5A5B. Very helpful, he explains everything well. Homework isn't really mandatory but in order to do good on the exam do the homework. If you have a chance to take his class, take it because he is the best math teacher at Willow International Period.
Best math teacher at Willow hands down. He teaches clearly, helps you with the homeworks, and whatever he says on the exam is on the exam. I struggled with Calculus 1&2 while taking other teachers, but he helped me understand and therefore I passed. Take him if you have the chance for Calc 1&2, trust me people he is the best at willow hands down
He is a wonderful teacher. Math classes are normally pretty dull but he keeps the class laughing. He is great at explaining how to do each problem, has incredible patience and genuinely cares about each student. He doesn't hesitate to stay after class to help you if you are lost. Great teacher and not too strict.
Considering I hate Math, this class was great. Great teacher! Lots of fun and h made the subject matter relevant and interesting. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hitchcock for any math class.
Great teacher! He makes math not boring by making it not so technical, and more about how you can use it in a practical day to day use. The best part is if you have a good grade and not need more math for your major then you dont have to take the final!
One of the greatest math teachers I have ever had. Hitchcock makes math fun and enjoyable by making jokes, mostly corny, and dumbing down the lectures to make sure everyone knows what they are doing. Highly recommend!
Wonderfully kind, helpful and funny.
a real class clown :D
A very fun class. All around a nice experienc. Im always impressed by mathemathics professors who manage to stay enthusiastic about such a "boring" topic.
As simple as, HITCHCOCK IS IN THE HOUSE! He's one of the greatest instructors on this campus. If you do the homework, you will ace every test. Don't be deceived by how funny and nice he is, you need to study for this class for sure. Also, homework is not mandatory but do it because when its due, he grades it.
Hitchcock is a bro for sure. He's super excited to teach you math! Has a great personality, makes math as fun as humanly possible. If you don't get an A in this class it's because your algebra sucks. Hitchcock really spends time on the concepts too!
hitchcock is a funny guy & probably interesting person to socialize with... but I feel like he wastes time joking around & not actually teaching the material. If you're good at math, this class may be a breeze. If you struggle with math, take a diff teacher that will actually teach you the material to pass.
i now love math...
Hitchcock is a great teacher. He makes math fun and if you have any questions he's more than happy to answer them. Never have I enjoyed a math class so much.
Mr. Hitchcock is hilarious! I am horrible at math and he helped me so much throughout the semester. He has tons of different ways of explaining things so you don't understand one way he can explain in another way. Very clear in his teaching.
Mr. Hitchcock is the best teacher ever!! He is hilarious, and very clear. I hate math but he made it fun. He is always willing to help, and he explains things very well. The homework is easy if you pay attention.
He is a great professor. Explains things really well and is always willing to help students when asked. He makes the class enjoyable and provides a very comfortable environment for the students. Definitely recommend him!
MR. HITCHCOCK IS DA HOMIE!!! By the end of this class I actually felt like I learned a lot. His teaching style is a bit abstract, but he does it so your brain doesn't explode. I would recommend you take any class that involves this guy cause he is GOOD
Mr. Hitchcock is the best teacher I've ever had. Every class was so enjoyable, and I learned a lot. I'm pretty sure he's a comedian by night and a math teacher by day because this man will make you die laughing. Make sure you complete homework because it could mean a lower letter grade. Highly recommend any class he teaches!
What a waste of time. I didn't really learn all that much. He spent so much time on random stories and bad jokes. His actual explainations werern't all that clear. Avoid him if you want to learn anything.
Mr. Hitchcock is probably the best math teacher at WillowClovis Center. He's hilarious which makes showing up for class much more enjoyable. Attendance is not mandatory, but you will struggle if you don't attend. Also, homework is all out of the book so buy it. You won't regret taking Mr. Hitchcock. He's the best!!
Mr. Hitchcock is an awesome professor. He is really helpful and hilarious. He makes math seem fun and interesting.
I enjoy his class. Funny teacher and fair grader when it comes to test. Also, does his best for us to understand his lectures. The good thing about the class is that final is optional, however final are longer and harder since is going back to the beginning, I would try to avoid the final.
Hitchcock is a great math teacher and I hated math! He's super funny too so the class will never get boring! You'll definitely enjoy taking this class!
Mr. Hitchcock is an amazing professor! I took him over a year ago and he still remembers me and remembers my name! He really tries to get to know you. And I learned a lot while also laughing and enjoying the class.
omg----useless class taught by useless instructor collecting a paycheck
Mr. Hitchcock is the man. He makes learing stats fun and interesting. Math is not the subject for me but he made it where I looked forward to going to class.
Hitchcock seems like he could be a great teacher for another class but not 5B. He gives homework for each units and they are challenging. His tests aren't like anything like the homework or examples, they are harder. He jokes all the time which makes the class fun but it can drag on sometimes. Attendance is mandatory if you want to get examples.
I had him for 4A,5A, and 5B. I learned alot from Mr Hitchcok and I found a love for math in his class. I never left algebra 1 in HS and I never tried. I now have a passion for math and its helped my Engineering major. he's a great person and I spent a lot of time after class asking him questions and he was always stayed as long as I had questions.
Best Professor ever! He is so helpful, and HILARIOUS!
Professor Hitchcock is a wonderful teacher. He doesn't want anyone to fail. If you don't do well it's your own fault. Homework isn't nessesary mandatory but it was what helped me just because I need continued practice. I could have easily gotten an A if I put in a little more effort. Attendance is mandatory unless you can learn on your own.
He is one of the best math teachers in the state of California (at least). He explains everything the way you won't ever forget it. He's so friendly and funny. Classes are all fun and. It's not like other math classes that you want to fall sleep after 15 minutes. You really learn if you pay attention and do the homework. He made me love calculus.
Makes learning easy but fun. Spends plenty of extra time going over what you should know for test.
He goes into long stories about topics that have nothing to do with math. Recommend finding a tutor to help you, if you take his class.
Really funny guy which makes lectures enjoyable. Makes the course easy to understand and pass. Easy to get along with and easy to talk to.
He was a great teacher. I'm bad at math and even though I didn't do well in his class he was still one of the best teachers I've ever had. Definitely would recommend him to anyone! He's hilarious! Lots of jokes and he loves to talk! Definitely will miss this teacher.
I took him for trig and it was the first math class I have ever looked forward to. He's hilarious too. His teaching style is very visual and and he's happy to explain any questions. He gives you the entire 3 weeks between exams to do the homework but don't fall behind or it builds up really fast.
One of the best math instructors I have ever had. You have to put in the effort and know what you need help in and he will gladly help with clarification. Used the book for constant homework. Stay ahead! Math is hard for me so was happy to pass.
Omg hands down the best professor I've ever had. He is very understanding and caring towards his students, not to mention he is absolutely hilarious. I enjoyed showing up to class because he made it fun to learn. Homework is always due the day of tests so you have lots of time to do it just don't fall behind because it adds up. Amazing professor
Classes flew by because he is hilarious! He is a very caring teacher. He does everything he can to help you understand what you're struggling with. Your attendance is not mandatory. Test every 2 weeks and they are very easy with easy extra credit problems. Honestly the best teacher I have ever had, especially a math teacher.
Mr. Hitchcock was my professor for trigonometry, and I highly recommend students to sign up for his class! He is very intelligent, and keeps the whole class laughing everyday. It helps to have a teacher who makes math fun. He gives good/helpful lectures and reasonable amounts of homework.
Makes math easy and fun. Very helpful and reviews for exams and tells you what to look for in the test and also homework is due the day of the test. He is super hilarious he will put on some videos in class that relates to math. 100% recommend him great teacher.
Hitchcock is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He explains things very thoroughly and makes sure you understand the material.
If Math is a difficult subject for you, I recommend to take this guy. He explains things very well, and has a very laid back personality.
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is a great lecturer and really wants to help you succeed and pass the class. He gives you really great study guides which are basically the test, so if you study and know what you are doing. You totally got this. He is a hilarious guy and makes class so much fun.
Mr. Hitchcock is one of the best math teachers I've ever had! He is relatable and approachable. He gives points for soduku handouts and other math games. There was barely any homework. He's hilarious too. Def take his class.
Professor Hitchcock is a great teacher and very easy if youre looking for a good grade. Good guy and very caring. Takes forever to put in grades though and I could have gotten a better grade if I showed up all the time.
very fun teacher to have!!! Makes class go by fast and does homework on the board if you don't get it. You should come to class most of the time to get a good grade. Easy assignments and tests can be easy if you do your homework on time
Really funny guy which makes listening to lectures a lot easier and fun. The homework is only due when a test comes by which makes time management a lot easier.
So this professor is hilarious! He gives lectures that you can relate to and makes math actually okay to handle with. Does not give a lot of homework and only gives you 3 tests and a final that's optional. Very good choice for a math teacher!
He is the funniest professor ever. His tests were exactly like the study guides. If you just do the study guide you will get an A on the test. He also usually lets us out 30 minutes early.
I hope everyone takes his class, u will not regret it. Uses the same book for Math10A/B Tells funny stories during lecture, making it easy to understand things. The homework is medium workload. He tells u EXACTLY whats going to be on the test a week prior. No surprises
Hes the best! Not a lot of homework. Tests are based on the homework, hes always willing to help in office hours, super funny. Lectures are easy to understand. I just love it! You can get an easy A if you work on your homework. No notes on the test, he Gaves the formulas. No online Homework.
Was not hard to get an A, but he does not cover all the material to be successful in Calc II. Had to go see my Calc II teacher alot to get up to speed. If you have to take Math 5 B, do not take him for Math 5A as you will not be prepared. He does tell alot Of jokes, which wastes alot of time in the class.
He is an amazing professor. He does like to make the class fun and, if you don't understand something during class he is always willing to go over it with you after class or during office hours. The homework is off the book and he goes over it in class. As long as you go to class and study you will be fine.
Funniest prof. I've ever had. Clearly explains everything and takes many questions from the class. The homework is the only difficult part, and only because it's time consuming. Great prof., would recommend to anyone.
He's the best teacher I've ever had, hands down. Yes, he's hilarious but more than that he gets straight to the point and teaches what is necessary. His homework is super easy and is due on the day of the test so you have a lot of time to finish it. He inspired me to major in math.
I dont have words to describe him. He helped me a lot with Math5A, you can go to his office hours, he would help you. Hes carrying. I love his class!!
He's an okay professor. He's funny and willing to help with any questions you may have; However, there is NO extra credit! Most exams average a 75% and HW is worth 15%. There is NO curve on exams! When he tells you something won't be on the test, it actually is. (said there wouldn't be quadratic on Test 3, there was, snowballed everyone's grade.)
Calculus is hard but Hitchcock is a good teacher and he's hilarious. Homework is worth 85% . of your grade. He's very clear on what's on the exams and will go over any questions you have on the homework. If you work hard in the class you'll do fine. Class does go pretty fast so make sure you show up all the time.
Pretty hilarious guy, all he does in lecture is go over questions people have from the hw. Be sure to do well on the 4 exams because that's pretty much what your grade is based on
85% of your grade is based on the four tests. Does not offer a final to replace your lowest test grade. However, he truly does care about your success in his class and will grade his tests very fairly. Homework is due on exam day so I would redo each assignment before exam, which definitely how I got an A in the class. Don't slack on the homework.
Really easy professor, just pay attention and ask questions when you dont understand.
Professor Hitchcock is a gem. He's hilarious, a great teacher, understanding, extremely chill, and he really did make Math 5A a breeze, especially with the coronavirus. TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! THANK YOU PROFESSOR HITCHCOCK!
An overall great teacher. His lectures are lively and he interacts well with his students. Was very accommodating and easy to talk to and is open to giving you more resource options if asked. We had four tests, no cumulative, and a fair amount of homework. Only issue is we didn't have set dates for tests and he was a bit too lax about it.
If you struggle in math do not take him. He makes jokes the entire class period rather than teaching important material. Class is a waste of time.
Great teacher!
He was such a funny teacher! However he does side track a lot in his lectures and then crams all the important concepts last minute which always made it difficult to do homework. However he is very willing to help whenever you had questions or just want extra help! He will explain what's on tests so pay attention!
Math is very difficult for me, and unfortunately, this professor didn't make it any easier. First, he uses My Math Lab, which is an extremely difficult program for students, and instead of teaching the problems on My Math Lab, he gives vague, simplified math instruction that doesn't help much. The rest of the lecture is spent telling dad jokes.
He is a really awesome professor. One of my many favorites. He is caring and will truly work with you. If you do your job and keep on top of your work and are open and honest up front, he will help you. His lectures are easy to understand and you can rewatch them if you need to. Definitely take him. He's funny too. Makes a difficult class fun.
He is a great professor. Out of my four years in college he is the best professor Ive had. Their is no reason why you wont pass if you do your work. He truly is willing to help you with anything you need help with. I truly recommend going on test days too class, he will walk you through anything you dont understand. I would take him again!
Professor provides many videos that explains the work. My lab homework is easy and it gives step by steps and examples. Do the work and participate and yo will do fine.
This professor is awful. He has made misogynistic or otherwise inappropriate jokes multiple times, never respondes to emails, and the lectures are difficult to apply to the homework. The course also has minimal structure, he never says what unit we are on during the lectures so it's hard to reference notes for the homework.
Mr. Hitchcock was a great math teacher. I took his class in person and he was a very respectable teacher. He helped me with any assignments or tests! He is there for you if you put the work in. Recommend taking his class!
I had Prof. Hitchcock for Math 10A and Math 10B! and let me tell you, he is a very easy and understanding Professor. He loves his teachings and he is very accommodating if you are struggling with a math question. I struggle with math a lot and being in his class, makes me like Math.
Solid Professor, gives a very reasonable amount of homework and all the homework for a section isn't due until the day of the test, so you can be flexible with when you get it done. Good at explaining things for the most part and keeps people attentive with lots of dad jokes. Would definitely recommend.
One of the best professors I've had he is funny and if you do the homework and participate in class you will pass. He makes jokes to lighten the mood and makes the class fun. This is the only class I have taken where the lecture doesn't bore me to death. would recommend him 100%.
Goes off on tangents a lot and assigns loads of homework a week before the test. Skips the first introductory unit of calculus; limits.
Professor Hitchcock is a truly hilarious and awesome professor. If you have questions on the homework, he will spend most, if not all, of the class time on answering homework questions. He also does some of the homework questions in class and likes to tell stories when it relates to his lessons. Very funny and makes a lot of jokes.
One of the best teachers I have had my whole life. This man brightens my day every class, brings such a positive attitude to class. Gets to know his students and makes the class less boring. Homework is due day of test, and tests are just like the homework. Lectures are straight from the homework and keeps the class as simple as possible.
One of the funniest professors I have ever had. Homework was all online and so were half of the tests. Even if you thought you didn't do great on the in-person half, there was still the online portion which was always worth 40% or more. Overall taught introductory calculus well and would take again!
Professor Hitchcock is a people person, this is apparent by the conversations he will form with anyone and everyone if possible. He is very friendly and does have the best interest of the student in mind. Although it did feel like he ensured the 4P students were up to speed due to their arrogance to skip other classes, my education was not wasted
Mr Hitchcock is ge
you can tell he really cared about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He will do his best to help you out and is always up to stay after class and answer any questions you would have. math was never my strength but I finished with an A.
He was really funny and made class time very enjoyable. One thing is that he does not drop lowest grade for tests but all exams are "curved" in a way.
Professor Hitchcock is a hilarious and engaging teacher. The homework can be a bit heavy, but he's always willing to help explain concepts during class. Using Unstuck ai and the free textbook made the workload manageable.
Funny, easy to sit through lectures, class isn't hard even for someone like me who is the WORST at Math. You get a lot of time to complete the online work and he will always answer questions. Not rude at all.
The best math teacher I have ever had in my life. He has an amazing sense of humor and makes math fun. He will answer any questions you have and take the time to go over homework very thoroughly. Show up, ask questions, stay on top of your homework, and you will pass. I feel confident and have learned the basic life skills in math, and so can you.
Hitchcock is my favorite math instructor. Most math instructors require very minuscule things like grading notes or doing things their way, but Hitchcock let's you do it any way that works for you and encourages it. You do not have to memorize formulas (thank god) but still study. Four unit tests, no comprehensive final, homework due day of test.
Hitchcock is very engaging and fun. However, be aware that his teaching style may not be for everyone. He doesn't use slides and introduces topics very broadly, then begins to make it more digestible. For me, I'd start each unit very confused, but it would later come together. You have to be an active listener but if you can adapt you'll be good.
His teaching style really helped me out, and the class was also super easy, since I failed stats the semester before. The program he uses for homework and the tests is kind of annoying, but I don't think it's his decision.
