Amazing teacher. I've never learned so much with so little effort.
Wonderful!! Possibly the best teacher I've ever had! His main concern is making sure that his students learn, and it is very easy to see.
assigns difficult essay topics
Best college professor I've ever had! His goal is to help students learn, but it's fun stuff too. Tim Hacker is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best professors I have! Incredibly helpful, genuinely wants to see students learn, and he's very clear, both with his explanations and his assignments.
TAKE HIM!! He is the sweetest man ever and you will love him to death...he is very understanding and caring...not tough at all..i wouldn't take anyone else for english!!
He is great teacher!
Great teacher. Not hard if you do your work...but that comes easy since he makes class so great!
very good teacher, no tests and dosent grade papers, just takes daily work about once a week
Wonderful, caring instructor. Helps his students succeed in class. ALWAYS has time for you. Flexible and fair. TAKE HIS CLASSES!! You will enjoy him!
He is a great teacher. Just keep up with the work and you get an "A".
Tim..Is a really good teacher I would strongly recommend his summer course. He encourged me to go for a A instead of settle for a B. His teaching style is unique. You can tell he cares for what he does!! Very helpful
great teacher! very easy grade if you do the work. worst part were the odd subjects you had for writing your papers. very helpful if you're confused. overall, a great person.
I had him for freshman studies a few years ago. Nicest man I'd ever meet. I was even having a problem with another professor in a class and he sat down an actually listened to what I had to say and was totally on my side. He really cares about his students. Never had him for english though. take him
Very easy professor. Very monotone but a good man. Will help you out in anyway possible,
This is the one professor you need to take. He is very clear on his assignments and you can get an easy A in his class
What can I say? He is easy, easy, easy, easy!!! Just follow his course guidelines and you can get an easy A. But you do have to work for it.
Mr. Hacker is a great professor. He has a passion for his job and he cares for his students. This guy also was in the peace corp. He is truly an asset to UTM. I no longer go to school there, but I still remember what a great person he is. Take him for every class you can. He is very understanding and patient.
Very down to earth, and nice

Fun class, fun papers, and easy A if you do what he asks of you.
Tim, is a great professor. He really helped me to grow as a writer. The assignments were easy: read a story, take a quiz(which he gives you the answer to) and then write a paper. He doesnt grade the papers so if you go to class and write youll get an A. He's teaching a class in the spring about Muslim Women that should be great so you should take i
I actually took this professor while I was in high school for a duel credit. I was so prepared for college english after taking this course. He was a great professor. I never got to meet him personally because the class was aired over the television but I would recommend him to anyone. So if you want a great professor take him!
Tim is the BEST! So helpful and friendly. He really challenges you think about things in a different way. Emphasizes creative writing and hates grades. Lots of reading and writing. The topics are always really interesting. By far my favorite professor on campus!
very easy and understanding. i had him for an English class concentrated around arcitectural design, i didnt find the material very interesting but it was easy.
Best teacher for 110 period.take his summer class,their really fun and enjoyable
This class was awesome! He was so helpful and laid back. It was fun to argue or debate with him. He was not stuck up and he always wanted you to ask questions. I loved his class and it was my favorite. I recommend it to everyon!!!
He is very good. You have to write a lot of papers but he gives you a lot to work with. He really prepares you for the paper. But that doesn't mean the papers are easy, he will insist on your best! He gives daily work which he also fully prepares you for. He's an eco guy who teaches you how to view the world with critical eyes. TAKE HIM.
This class might be the easiest class on campus and he is the coolest guy in the world!!!!! Easy A!!!
Tim Hacker is a wonderful teacher. He loves his job and is truly interested in your progress.
Mr. Hacker is a great teacher. He is always willing to help you. He is not easy, but not difficult. It is college, and you will alway be required to do work. He wants you to do just that. Research and learn about what you're studying. He is very nice and I will be taking him again next semester.. he really got me excited about writing papers for hi
Very cool guy
he is wonderful teacher,and everyone can get good grade from him
He is foreign student friendly. Take his class
We studied the Holocaust by reading fictional novels as well as textbooks. I had very low knowledge of the topic before the class, and I came out of the class with a new perspective. He is an amazing, very understanding teacher. The work load is light, but I learned so much from the readings and class discussions.
Extremely easy class! I'm not a morning person, but his class was worth waking up early for. He does not like to use grades! He only grades daily work, not papers until final portfolio. Taking his English 112 class next semester!
One of my favorite teachers the first semester of college. Cant wait to take him in future English classes!
Tim Hacker is the best professor i have had at UTM. he will help you if you need anything. Its work but this is college.
He was a really good professor. He will help you if you need anything. He is one the best professors that I have had at UTM.
This teacher I absolutely amazing. He will work with you as long as you need it. He is very smart and really cares about his students opinion. Just do the work and you will get an A. He gives you an A on your paper as long as you wrote about the topic, he doesn't grade it on grammar or format or anything. He always reviews before a test and usually gives study guides. I would recommend him in a heart beat. I wish he taught more classes because I would take him for anything
Loved Tim! He will answer any questions that you have. I had him for Eng 111 and Eng 112 as a dual credit student. He is a great teacher. But the reading assignments are pretty necessary if you plan on doing good on the daily work, which is easy if you did the reading though. Very enthusiastic and cares a lot about you getting a good grade.
Best teacher in the world! I'm awful at English, but I passed with a B! Super easy!! I've taken three different english teachers at martin and he is by far the best!! Take him in summer if you can!!
He is a great professor! I would recommend him to anybody. Very helpful!
He is a GREAT professor! There is a lot of reading and five paper throughout the course of the semester, but he is so helpful that it sounds harder than it actually is! I wish i could take him for everything!
It took a while to get used to his method of teaching. He tries for casual and laid back, even wants to be called Tim, but his manner is very uppity West Side. He is genuinely a superb professor. I would take him again.
tim is awwweeesssoooommmeee!!! MAKE SURE YOU TAKE HIS CLASS ESPECIALLY AS A FRESHMAN!!! HE KNOWS HOW TO TALK TO STUDENTS IN A CALM AND EASY MANNER AND I LOOOOOVE HIS TEACHING METHOD!!! I CAME OUT WITH AN A+ AND LEARNED MORE THAN IVE EVER LEARNED BEFORE IN LIFE!!!
I just had him for Freshman Studies, but can testify for his teaching method for sure. He is a great teacher who really wants to see his students succeed. Just do the work, and you will get a good grade. He cares more about the student than the grade though. Would recommend him for sure! Cool guy!
Tim is a good teacher. Yes, I said Tim, he prefers to be called by his first name. He is a very interesting person to talk to. The Holocaust is his subject, ask him anything about it. He has a mandatory essay due at the end of the semester, take it seriously. Other than that he is rather easy going and willing to help.
Probably the coolest teacher ever. Gives a lot of reading. His papers are so easy and you choose the topic and length.
If you show up and care, then you will make an A. Very relatable person.
Very helpful. Rounds your grade 2 points. If you miss one of his quizzes he doesn't fail you. He just excuses it. He's really into the Holocaust. But very enjoyable class and an amazing teacher. I would recommend him to anyone!
He's great! Take him!!!! He's funny and open to any ideas you may have. The research project was 7 pages, and there was a lot of reading, but you'll enjoy this class if you like learning about the Holocaust.
Tim is a great English professor. He is very clear in defining what you need to do for your grade. His classes aren't hard, aside from a load of reading. He doesn't grade papers tough--instead his focus is on making you a better writer. There's no good reason that you can't get an A in his class. I liked it, and am taking him again next semester.
GREAT TEACHER! He is awesome, i would take him as many times as i possibly could! Very helpful, and his work is easy. Also a great person too!
I took him for 111H and 112H, and it was fantastic. It was not near as demanding in the sense of the length of papers as my friend's regular class. He is all about quality content instead of length, and you truly learn a lot! His classes are themed, so the work is not monotonous and solely about grammar. It's wonderful.
Tim really cares about his students. His class requires a lot of reading with daily graded assignments. He has a unique way of scoring papers that makes him a lot easier to work with than other professors. He's very understanding and easy to like.
I do not recommend taking Hacker for GENS101. He is the only GENS teacher that I know of who makes you do work. We had to read two books and do a research project. GENS is suppose to be about learning about the school and transitioning from high school. He made GENS horrible and I wish I would not have taken it. He also rambles on forever
Amazing professor. Amazing individual. Amazing class. Although it required quite a bit of reading, the books he chose were worth every single page. I learned so much, and his enthusiasm for the subject makes the class even more intriguing. Definitely a professor I would take again in the future. He really cares about his students.
A very good teacher, very respectful and helpful with his students. If you do correctly the work, it's an A. I recommend him without any problems.
Tim is a great professor. He is very caring and easy-going. I learned a lot in this class.
He really cares about his students and it shows. Hes always available to help or answer any questions or problems you might have. He gives good feedback on everything! Loved taking him and would take again. He grades by how many pages you write.
I had Tim my past two semesters and he is honestly my favorite professor I have had so far. He is extremely understanding when it comes to not making it to class or events going on. Yes you will have to work, but he made both courses 100% worth paying attention too. Im waiting until next semester so I can have him again. Funny too!
Tim is literally the best professor I have ever had. He is very clear on what he expects from you. You have daily work over the assigned readings but the questions are always the same. You are also allowed to ask him any questions you want before he hands it out. A lot of reading to do, but it's not hard. I would definitely take him again!
I'm taking him for Linguistics. He's such a wonderful Professor. I'm sad this is the last class I'll have him for. If you get the opportunity to take him for something--DO IT!! You won't regret it! He's so caring, understanding, and passionate about teaching. He TRULY wants you to learn.
I took his class in high school as a part of a dual enrollment program. We read a lot and would have a daily work over vocab but as long as you actually read it's not too tough. We wrote many papers during the semester but he gave such great feedback on every single one. He really takes the time to make sure you are improving in your writing!
My favorite professor during my first semester at UTM! He is such a knowledgeable person, and he truly cares for his students. There's quite a bit of reading involved, but you get so much out of this class. We got out early many times. He gives feedback rather than letter grades on papers. I loved his class and will take him again for sure!!!
Love, love, loved Mr. Hacker! He gives you a good bit to read but as long as you go to his class and discuss the reading you will pass. He does daily work quizzes over the reading, but you hardly have to read it because he goes over the reading beforehand and it helps. He is an awesome prof. and cares a lot about his students!
so helpful !He is the best professor ever, very easy and the daily work are very easy. I loved his way to teach and I am now a good writer because of him.
I had Mr. Hacker for English 111 and 112. When I say he is the very best professor at UTM, I mean it. TAKE HIM.
He is the best English professor. He is very open minded and cares for his students. He does not take grades, instead he just responds to your writing. No exams or quizzes. Take him if you can.
Mr. Hacker is one of the best professors around. He is very laid back and his class work is very minimal.
pretty easy, the last assignment is tough but just try really hard on the first 4 papers and you will cruise through it. i am a guy and if you struggle with english badly, this is the man to take! one thing, he takes WWII very seriously so be kind when you read about it.
Tim's teaching is specific and understandable, and he speaks to everyone as equals; these are not typical lectures. His class is graded on work based upon reading of online materials and the book assigned depending on the subject of the class. He does NOT grade papers, he only needs every paper written. If you want an A prepare to write many pages.
Really enjoyed this class, but lots of reading, but that comes with an English class. Quizzes over every assigned reading and papers must have upwards of 6 pages to get an A. Takes his work very seriously and expects you to do the same, just put your best effort forward. Views his students as his equals and is overall a great teacher.
He is a great professor, however there is quite a bit of reading involved as well as multiple papers. The material we used was simple to understand, but for the papers you do not need to have a specific length at the beginning, but you do need a certain amount of pagers by the end for a certain grade
