DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH SHELLEY. She is by far the most unorganized and unclear teacher I have had in my 3 years here. Waits to post grades until the DAY OF THE FINAL. Lots of work for a gen ed, more than my major classes even and most of it is busy work. Not to mention you have to teach yourself most of the material for flipped lessons 0/10

This is the worst teacher Ive ever had. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

I took Professor Hutchinson for MAT 113 and it was the worst choice I've ever made. She's one of those people you look at and wonder how they ever got a teaching degree and if there's any way to get it taken away. She is incredibly disorganized, writes her notes by hand DURING class. Doesn't give enough time for tests/quizzes. Awful person overall.

I am nearly graduating and this is the worst grade I've gotten in any class. The workload is not only extremely disorganized but it is a bombardment, not only will you never know when somethings due but you with probably not have enough time . She gave her TA no direction so our lab was a study hall with no help. It takes A WEEK to get any response

If you thinking taking MAT113 with Shelley will be easier than taking an upper level math course, youre wrong. If you test into a higher class, just take it. The amount of irrelevant work (and almost WEEKLY group work) makes this class impossible, especially for honors students worried about their GPA.

By far the worst teacher I have ever had. She is disorganized and does not explain any of the content. This class made me cry every day since the start of the semester. It was brutal and worsened my existing mental & physical health conditions. I had to WX from this class so it wouldnt mess with my GPA. DONT take this class with shelley!!

I do not think I've ever disliked math more. The content wasn't even all that bad, however this professor is. She really tried to make this class seem as "in person" as possible but she's very bad at getting back to you when you have questions and for the most part your learning yourself. She talks more about her health issues than content. RUN

worst teacher ever. Shelley says she cares, yet never responds to emails and makes 100 point tests 14 questions long. She never answers questions, and makes rounding mistakes on the test, but won't change the the grades. She made us buy a $80 book that we never use. I only passed this class because of Chegg. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

I would not recommend. She is unorganized and when you ask for help she just repeats herself. She had this horrible idea to extend test time which made my class unbelievably unprepared for the final exam. The amount of tears from this class is ridiculous. Avoid at all cost. Not worth it.

Worst math class Ive ever had. This professor is unorganized, she doesnt answer emails quickly at all, and she really doesnt care if you pass or fail. Shes a nice person, just not a good professor

I was online last semester. My roommate had the same class with a different prof and I would watch her lecture videos on top of our class just to keep up with material. She claims to be accessible & aware of mental health yet never responds to emails and acts like you are stupid for not understanding her non-sensical rants she calls teaching.

If you can take this class anywhere but with Shelley do it. She claims to be so willing to help you but it is literally not helpful whatsoever. This class is so unorganized and you will never know when anything is due. I have never gotten anything lower than an A in math and barely pulled off this B, take a different class for your own sanity.

Shelley's class is the most difficult class I have ever taken. Even after doing everything I could to study or get help, I barely managed to get a C. Shelley wants what's best for her students, but gives a ridiculous workload, unhelpful and challenging assignments, and doesn't teach the material in an effective way.

This is the hardest class I have ever taken at ISU. There was a really heavy workload and it was really hard to keep track of what was due. The lab for this class half the time was teaching the same material a different way and it made absolutely no sense. I would definitely recommend a different class or at least just a different professor.

Hutchison made MAT 113 a pain. I am not a math major, and that is on purpose, but she treated us like we knew what we were doing. Her lectures were dumpster fires and I was lucky to make it out with a passing grade. There were 90 people in the class at first, but by the time the withdrawal date had passed there were like 15 of us. Save yourself.

I would love to give her benefit of the doubt but she is wildly unreasonable. She needs to fix her class and her teaching style. Theres wayyy to much work and it is extremely difficult to manage with the needs of other classes. She needs to keep in mind her class is a GEN ED and that no one cares.

DO. NOT. TAKE. THIS. CLASS. WITH. HUTCHISON. Trust me. She's horrible and doesn't know how to teach. Blah blah blah "test anxiety" nah girl you just suck at teaching that's why everyone does so bad in the class. So much homework, very fast-paced. On my way to this class, I used to wish a bus would just plow right into me. Ended up withdrawing.

awful

Don't even bother taking her. Especially if you are not that good at math. The way she teaches and distributes work is so messy and bad. The work she gives and teaches is 100x more confusing and difficult then it should be. Easily, one of the worst professors at ISU. I'ms surprised she hasn't been fired or anything yet.

If you want to fail take her class. she is awful and I mean it coming from someone who isn't awful at math. Just don't take her class please trust me.

Take this class with literally any other professor. She made this class 10x more difficult than it needed to be. 20 minutes for a quiz is absolutely ridiculous, considering the majority of her students aren't the best at math. She's a nice person, but an awful teacher. Save the headache and take it with someone else.

She was absolutely awful as a person and teacher. If you are not strong in math she'll try and diagnose you with "math anxiety"... I can't even express the amount of times i called home sobbing because of the class/ homework. All work is online and half the times they don't even have the right answers so you'll always get it wrong. never again.

She plans her classes out to the very minute so asking questions and getting extra examples is almost impossible because we must move on.She claims she wants to help us and is willing to meet with us outside but never responds to emails.Had to drop the class due to the stress and me constantly calling home crying.

Do not take this class with this professor. Super heavy work load and very hard to manage in addition to other classes. She moves extremely fast during lecture and its hard to keep up. So much homework and so many tests. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. She goes very fast during lectures, and thinks teaching/lecturing is throwing us in groups and tells us to figure it out when a new lesson is given. Very heavy work load, especially for homework. New notes and martial everyday and she teaches with a camera and takes notes off a iPad, that are not legible

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. She goes very fast during lectures, and thinks teaching/lecturing is throwing us in groups and tells us to figure it out when a new lesson is given. Ungodly amount of work.

Don't take her class. She taught material super fast and did not give much time to answer questions. She would go over class time. She would put stuff on the test that she talked about once or never. She would give us 20 minutes for a quiz because she spent the first half of quiz days teaching new material that was not gonna be on the quiz.

This professor is immensely difficult to understand. I could see her improving in times to come but as of right now I would not recommend taking her math course. Her hand writing is difficult to read, you are learning new subjects every single class, and are given large amounts of homework ONLINE every day. She also never responds to emails.

Worst math class I've ever taken in my life. Keep in mind I'm bad at math but like when I tell you I understood NOTHING. I mean it. I could never read the handwritten notes because she would literally write in CURSIVE?? This class was unbearable and so boring. Take it with Jackie Borque instead. Trust Me.

Worst teacher I have ever had. Math 113 is not meant to be a hard class, but it was ridiculous with this professor. Very homework heavy, gave us busy work that did not relate at all to content. Notes are all over the place. If you have this professor, you are better off teaching yourself.

Shelley tries to say she cares about students but never has time to grade and will take weeks to respond to you. I would not recommend taking her if you already have a tough time in math because you will have to force yourself to tutor. Mat113 is not a hard class but she makes it boring and you have to learn for yourself.

Ms. Hutchison was the worst professor I have ever had. The class could be very easy with the right professor, however Ms. Hutchison has a way to make it difficult. She is easily reachable if you are willing to wait weeks for an email response. The content is always ALWAYS rushed. Take the class with a different professor!

She was extremely difficult and nearly impossible to contact, ignoring every email until I included the department chair.

She is ever there and doesn't want to help.

Never take this class with her. Honestly not a bad math student but she made me feel stupid. Speeds through the hardest material. Terrible communication. Does group work that wastes time and doesn't deepen understanding. Avoid her at all costs

Emails were frequently unanswered, with some responses arriving in the middle of the night or weeks later. Group work carried too many points, negatively impacting our grades. She often arrived five minutes late and complained if we wanted to leave a minute early.

I heard a guy behind me say that he would need a 90% or more on the last two exams to pass with a D, I think that sums that class up pretty well. Literally the harshest grading I've ever seen for a 100 level math class. Just horrid.

plz dont torture yourself with this. NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

she's just not a good teacher. goes very fast through classes and doesn't explain things well at all. if you take this class ask for a different professor.

This professor was nice as a person but as a professor was terrible. The tests were nothing like the lectures and were so difficult. She rushed through information because she expected you to know everything coming into this class. I have had to work so hard for this class and teach myself because she doesn't teach you well.

Horrible! She would give us problems and then answer them wrong. On every hw, in person, study guides and even exams! Doesn't answer if you reach out for help. Cancels class bc of her issues and then rushes the “teaching” the next class. She was literally 10 minutes late to our final too! doesn't teach, everyone just put in formulas on the calc!

This teacher is by far the worst teacher I have ever had throughout my academic career. She not only doesn't know some of the material she is teaching, she gives little to no bargain and she will not give you any advantage like a cheat sheet during the math final (which other teachers gave a whole paper). Take her if you want to retake the class..

Only mat119 prof to not give any sheet of equations on the final exam, close to half our class dropped, “web-assign” assignments that include problems where your answer can never be marked as correct, shows up late to every class, 10 minutes late to our final, only mat 119 prof that doesn't want to pass students that show effort in the course.

Word of advice runnnn
