People like to hate on Hamilton, but the fact of the matter is, some people just can't handle her class. Especially freshmen taking their first college course, some students have nothing but foul words for Hamilton. She really is a great professor. Sure she is demanding, but if you put in all the work and go to her office hours frequently, she is very understanding and friendly with you. | |

Not a bad class; however, you will NOT get an A. She is THAT one professor who can't give an A. The term paper takes a lot of your time. The tests are average and the reading is dry. Her office hours are helpful and if you get to know her, she can be a good resource for recommendations. | |

First things first.. Professor Hamilton is possessed by demons. Ok. Anyways. She presents the material well in class, its pretty dry but all the material is there. Kissing her ass and attending class is a sure fire way to guarantee a somewhat ok grade. But the REAL bullshit part of this class is her grading. I got an A on the final and a B on the term paper and i end up with an 89.7 in the class. she doesn't add in participation and extra credit, and I'm left with the overall impression that she enjoys exercising power over students and doesn't care that much about their well-being. Good luck with hamiltoe. | |

Prof. Hamilton should not be rated this low. I can understand why a lot of people do not like her, but she is a really good teacher. Her class requires a good amount of work and her tests are pretty difficult, but it is possible to do well in this class. I made the mistake of only going into office hours for her class once, and I finished with a B+. Had I gone more times, I probably would have finished with an A. Moral of the story: go into office hours, especially for your term paper. She tells you specifics as to what she wants on it, and will even look up information you can't find for you. Despite having a little bit of an ego problem, she is still a very good teacher and really knows what she is talking about. | |

Okay..please do not be alarmed by the comments below. To get an A you need to do the following: go to her office hours...seriously, do it. ASK QUESTIONS. Sit in the front. Study her notes...not the book. Honestly, she's a great teacher who knows her stuff. She's MORE THAN HAPPY to help you out and she's NOT there to fail you. Work hard and let her see you work hard and you shall do just fine! | |

Hamilton is a wake up call for the Freshman AGB students coming to college thinking they're still in high school. If you've never written a research paper before, be prepared to learn quickly. She catches a lot of crap for her arrogance, but the truth is, she's a very accomplished person and earned her Doctorate at a young age for a reason. Go to office hours and put time into your paper. If you get to know her beyond the lecture material, she's extremely helpful. A lot of her critics need to grow up and realize where they are. | |

As I sat down on day 1 and listened to her talk about how nobody got an A in her class last year, and how important it is that she is called "doctor or professor, never mrs, because women can be doctors too", I knew this class was gonna be bad. Her grading policies are fair on paper, but she makes them unfair. She will give grades based on how she is feeling or how she wants you to do. She doesn't like giving A's, so if you have one she will be sure to hunt you down and change that. If you take this class this is what you should expect: Emails on Fridays about how nobody came to her office hours which make you want to repeatedly punch a wall until your hand bleeds, a system of grading in which favorites are picked and getting an A is impossible, an abysmal 2 hour lecture twice a week that is extremely horrendous to listen to, and a teacher that takes pride in making her class not hard, but simply unfair. If you take her I hope you have a better experience than I did | |

first off Hamiltoe is a dirty pirate hooker.....Now that we have that clarified I can honestly say this is the WORST class I have ever taken. I have never worked so damn hard in my life to get a terrible grade. She seems to be out the fail kids, so they try to switch majors. Her fake ass laugh & stupid grin she has on her dumb face makes me want to vomit, eat the vomit, drop out of college & work street corners for money all on the same day. I feel extremely bad for her husband because he has to see her more than more than 4 hrs in one week, which is the amount I see her & I am on suicide alert at the moment. God save Mr. Hamilton's sole. ps: go to her office hours, sit in the front of the class, or do anything to s her d | |

If you value your GPA, DO NOT TAKE THIS BITCH. Her grading is so unrealistic I can't even make sense of how her scale works. I just got back a paper that I put close to 8 hours of work in and the only thing that she has to say about the paper is that I didn't cite the sources, even though the paper is on an article that I obviously received my sources from. She gave me a C- because I didn't cite my sources in a briefing. THAT WAS ALL SHE MARKED OFF ON. As a student of Cal Poly and someone who wants to do well, I strongly recommend you take someone else if you want to learn and don't want to put work into a paper that will be graded more heavily on citation than content. SHE IS A ARROGANT OLD HAG WHO NEEDS TO BE INSTITUTIONALIZED. Never met a woman (if you can call her that) that will deliberately try to hurt your grade because it's not exactly who she would have said it. I am an A and B student but this class makes anyone a C student due to her unreasonable grading. Please take someone else. | |

Hamilton sucks. She has you do around 5 homework assignments that aren't too bad but the policy briefs are awful. Takes hours just understand what the reading means. She loves to pick on kids that say something that is wrong and ABSOLUTELY HATES CELL PHONES. If you have one out and she catches you she makes a point to call you out in class. Her tests aren't bad if you go to class every day and she has clicker questions pretty much every day about obscure facts about politics. If you can take Nicholson, do that. I hear he's awesome. If you want to be bored to death and not be able to be on your computer or phone for 2 hours, take Hamilton. If you actually want to learn something about policies, take another teacher. | |

DR. Hamilton really isn't all that bad of a person. Yeah, she makes the topics way harder than they need to be, grades super hard, and assigns a crazy amount of busy work. However, if you do the busy work you get full credit. The term project was difficult though, GO TO OFFICE HOURS! She is super nice and it is a big help! She does though, get a bit hung up on being a "Dr." and the lectures are pretty dry, but she actually is pretty nice. Oh, and be forewarned, her graders grade hard and her writing is nearly impossible to read. | |

All in all, I did very well in the class, so it is not impossible. Yes it was the hardest class I had for the quarter. I also had alfalfa hay for my term paper, and ended up getting an A with 15 pages. Dr. Hamilton is super knowledgeable and not a horrible person. You just have to work hard and pay attention in class. Upcoming freshman, do not be too afraid. She is very friendly during office hours, which I highly recommend you go to! Overall, I learned a lot which helped me in my classes this quarter. | |

Lynn Hamilton was a rude and downright sorry excuse for a teacher. She is knowledgeable of the course material, but teaches the course in a manner where you loath having to go to class every time it comes around. She lectures for almost the entire period and is uninteresting making it difficult to stay focused. The upside to her class is that there are lots of assignments so no one category carries too much weight. The class consumed more time and effort than any of my other 4 unit courses and the 4 term papers were very stressful. For the term papers, you choose a topic at random and are stuck with the same for all 4 sections. (I had the misfortune of selecting alfalfa hay, the final paper has a 10 page minimum, but most of them were closer to 15 total.) Her class is difficult and unenjoyable, it will require a high degree of work to do well I am happy to be beyond my AGB 101 requirement. | |

Professor Hamilton is very intelligent and knows what she is talking about. However, she made material that is very simple complicated by talking down to the class and making it harder than it needed to be. The class was crazy and unorganized, mainly do to the fact that there were 85 people in a class that was designed for 30. Her graders grade unnecessarily hard on simple assignments. Go to her office hours. It helps a lot. She isn't a bad person, she just doesn't put up with crap from idiots. | |

I think the problem that most people have with Dr. Hamilton is that she thinks very highly of herself and is a little caught up in the fact that she is a doctor, so she thinks that she know everything and that she doesn't have to worry about the needs of her students. To be fair, she is really not too bad of a person, but I would avoid her class if possible (it is also difficult) | |

Dr. Camiltoe is the worst teacher I\'ve ever had. Apart from the constant mispronunciation of words and use of run-on sentences, she seems to have very little knowledge of the topics at hand. She answers students\' questions with \"honestly, I\'m not sure\" or \"I\'ll have to get back to you on that\" (total BS), or goes off on her own tangent of irrelevant topics. Her grading is harsh and unfair, and A\'s seem to correlate with her favorites in the class. Do not take (Dr.) Hamilton. | |

Not in her hands she managed to make it into a real fight for a decent grade. I was one of the ten A\'s in her class out of sixty-seventy students. She plays favorites, gives a TON of busy work for no reason, fails to teach you anything, and her grading on assignments is so subjective it makes my head spin. Don\'t get me wrong she is smart!

She is a bad teacher, but an even worse person. She actualy told our class that if we had any questions about problems we had missed on our mid-term to "think twice about asking her about it because we obviously dont know what we are talking about" she gets upset very easily, questions are not encouraged and you might get yelled at in front of the class for asking because "this is all review and everyone should know it". very ill tempered and often does problems wrong and must re-do them. on the high note her tests are pretty easy, they work load is high, but not hard to get a good grade as long as you dont mind being shamed. | |

I am a really diligent and dedicated student. I had bad priority so I only ended up with 12 units... with this class I was glad I didn't fight for 16. This class took up so much of my time. I was really interested in the subject and put my heart and soul into this class. I was extremely disappointed when I received a B+ in this class. Make sure you have your formatting they way she wants it. (apparently what you have been taught to do your entire life is incorrect in Lynn Hamilton's class). This class is so frustrating and so time consuming. She is so rude and talks down to the students. Don't take this class.

I really liked the subject, however, Professor Hamilton was one of the most arrogant teachers I have ever come across. Several times she was down right rude and made me feel like an incompetent and immature student. She is hard to follow and her notes are not clear.

If you only have the option to take Hamilton, consider taking 12 unites because Hamilton will definitely weigh you down with homework. | |

YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP; the lady doesn't shut up. For Lynn Hamilton to articulate a concept in 50 words, takes most people 5 words. Let's just sayyy, if I actually followed and listened to every word she said, I probably would have gone insane. She's like your little sister who gets on your nerves just when they start talking, even though they're doing absolutely nothing wrong...and she gets excited on certain issues of AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS!!!which just makes her talk more because that's basically what girls do when they get excited, they talk and talk and talk.

Lynn is a great teacher, people that rate her negatively don't work very hard for their grades. You have to do ALL the work and readings to do well in her classes. Hard work reps rewards IE A's in class. I have had Dr. Hamilton for three class 101, 212, and 313. Every class I've had with her I've have to work hard for my grade, but I learned a ton. 313 was a lot of case studies and ecomomical analysis but I learned so much the class made me want to switch to a policy concentration. bottom line she doesn't take any crap and she is much nice if you show her respect and if you are in one of her more advanced classes (I don't like she like the immaturity that comes along with freshmen and sophomores). It makes a difference if you want to be in the class compared to having to be there. | |

This was like her 2nd time teaching this class and she would make all kinds of mistakes.. and when students corrected her she could never admit her mistakes. She is an awful teacher and it feels like she enjoys torturing her students with all the work she assigns. She gives out all these quizzes and tests and she is not even the one she grades it.

One word to describe Hamilton is "Energy!". She knows what she is talking about an is very confident with the subject matter. Lectures were interesting, and I loved the material we covered. She is friendly and helpful, easy to talk to, accessible during office hours, and always responds to her emails. This class usually requires some reading before class, and I would recommend taking an hour or so to actually do it. I would have gotten an A if I had just done the reading more consistently. In class tests and quizzes are pretty straightforward if you do the homework. The final threw me for a couple loops, trickier than I expected her to give us, but not too bad. Overall I would recommend her and will take her again. | |

This woman likes to hear herself talk. If you dont turn your work in on time she will NOT take it, no ifs ands or buts. She came off as way uptight and takes her class way to seriously for a 101 class. At times i felt that she thought we were in an upper division AGB class. I have received A's in five other AGB courses and will probably not get one in this class (I'm writing this before the end of the quarter.) There is a lot of busy work and reading in the book which gets really annoying after the first week. I would not take another class with her again if I were given the option. Overall she needs to move back to the midwest and find a job in the industry because she is not a good teacher. | |

Dr Hamilton is overal a good teacher I thought. She does kind of scare you at first, but through the quarter she really lightens up and become much more personable. Her tests are memorizations of little facts that she likes to put in the form of true and false, which if false you have to correct to make the statement true, those are a pain, but the rest of the test is easy if you know the slides. Get on her good side, and she will be understanding if something goes wrong...email her in that situation. | |

She has this energy in class that is so anoying, she is a crazy person. And she loves to talk about how half of her class is failing, she is such a negative professor. She gives so much homework that is absolutly busy work. She gives quizes everyday so you actually have to go and even if you read it doesn't guarentee you will even know the answer. Her tests are difficult she grades the essay and graph portions hard and she gives a seven page term paper assignment thats topic leaves you stuck. Nobody had a clue what they were writing about.

She doesn't rush through the material like other teachers, she goes at a great pace that is easy to keep up with.

Dr. Hamilton is a little scary at first, but once you have been in her class for a few weeks, and are on her good side, you shouldn't worry. She assigns a LOT of homework, but if you do it and do it well, you're guaranteed at least a B in the class. Her tests are pretty difficult, but if you basically memorize the slides, you'll do fine. I recommend not to piss this woman off, because that evil eye seems a little scary. I was fortunate enough to one of the quiet ones that didn't really stand out. If you do talk, make sure what you say is either intelligent or funny, because she seems to like a sense of humor. | |

Dr. Hamilton is a great teacher. The material is easy to follow, and if you memorize all the information you'll do great on the tests. The "very short quizzes" are pointless but just give you more points. Do all extra credits that's offered, as it does help your grade. During the quarter her grader grades most of the papers fairly easily; however, when it comes down to the Term Paper, Hamilton grades it extremely hard. Also, the Term Paper counts for 20% of your grade, where as the final only counts for 15%. Do well on that and all of your homework and you'll do fine! | |

Once I slept in and missed a quiz...I told her the situation and she let me make it up during her office hours! The class was pretty interesting, but that's coming from a city kid knowing nothing about agriculture or agribusiness. Definitely take Hamilton for AGB 101...she is a very fair teacher and is excited about the material she teaches. | |

Make sure you call her "Dr." Hamilton, otherwise she will get offended! She is a very intelligent teacher but shes definately full of herself! Her homework is just busy work but it does help you learn the material. Sometimes her tests are confusing and she expects you to KNOW the material INSIDE AND OUT! Besides her bug-eyes and hyper personality, this class isn't that bad. Read when she tells you to read because there will probably be a "VSQ"-Very short quiz on it the next day. | |

Dr. Hamilton wasn't a bad professor... she just needs to work on her people skills. She does learn a lot of names (which can come as a surprise when she calls on you in lecture) but she doesn't use names in a productive manner. She is a bit negative and lets her bad moods steer the course of class. She gets through a lot of material and assigns a LOT of work but overall, you learn a lot. Make sure you study for the quizzes because they can be the deciding factor between A's and B's. | |

I wouldn't recommend taking this class with Dr. Hamilton. She was a good professor for 213, but in this class she didn't do a very good job at presenting the material. All of her lectures were on power point, which was nice, but she spent most of her time trying to fix her computer instead of just teaching us the material. Her lectures got to be very repetitive and she tended to be too hyper to actually give her lectures in a calm manner. The problem with homework was she would assign it to us in class when she actually knew the assignment, but a lot of the time she wouldn't have it posted on her website till 9 p.m., when the assignment would be due the next day. It didn't seem like she really cared if we learned or not because it wasn't an "evaluation quarter." She also assigned an eight page term paper and after she graded them told us how poor of writers we are. Overall, I wouldn't recommend her until she actually cares about her teaching and her students. | |

If you like "no B.S." teachers...this is the gal. She does the job, does it in a language we can all understand, gets the important info into your brain, and makes everything crystal clear. Homework is a big part of your grade, but it is easy and worth doing because that is what gets you the grade. You have to study for tests, but it is not brain surgery it is just memorization. She is a bit moody and always gets her way, but if you can deal with that, I highly recommend her. If you get along with her and she likes you, you are in luck and you will like her, so take her classes. | |

Dr. Hamilton is great for 213, but not so great at the 312 stuff. Granted it was her first time teaching the class, she needs to work on her material, espically decreasing the amount presented. Watch out for her grading. | |

I was initially excited to be in the class, Hamilton has a lot of energy which I thought would make to be a great quarter. As time went on (and I got a few papers back) I realized that she doesn't make her standards for what an A is very clear, though she does make it very clear that she does NOT curve. Homework, however, is graded subjectively. These constant grading contradictions make it difficult to get the grade you want. If you are satisfied with a B, then take this class because you will get that (or lower), unless you make the class your life. All of these evals have one thing in common; we all thought the class was easy. With everyone thinking the class was so easy, then why does everyone list their grade as a B or a C? In Bio 151(a class that has a 60% fail rate), I earned a B. Knowing this, it doesn't seem logical that I would recieve the same grade in a class that is supposed to be an introductory course that everyone thinks is easy. To show how rediculous the grading is I will use this example: My friend did her homework assignment and gave it to me to turn in when she was sick. She asked that I would recopy it between classes because she thought it was too messy. After hastily recopying it I went to class where I turned in her's and mine (which I spent much more time on). When we recieved our papers back I recieved a -1 for "lack of neatness" though the other paper did not have this deduction and I hand wrote both. This clearly shows that if the teacher doesn't favor you, the grader "coincidently" marks you down. Moral of the Story: If you like busy work and don't care about your gpa, hamilton is a great pick. | |

hamilton seems alright at first (a bit of a spaz), but as the quarter goes on..... you'll soon find that she contridicts herself on a regular basis with her grading. She finds pleasure in letting everyone know that she DOESN'T CURVE! although on homework it is extremely hard to get a 100% becuase "grading is somewhat subjective on homework"(words of hamilton). Grading subjectively is essentially a curve, she lacks consistency. She feels the need to show and exercise her power over students, she sticks to what she thinks no matter what, no exceptions!she has tried to turn agb 101 into an extremely difficult course with lots of homework(all of which is busy work). She does do a good job of presenting the info. overall i would reccomend not taking her, because she and her "grader" do not grade fair. | |

First off, let me say that I have never had more busy-work in my entire educational career. Hamilton assigns work like AGB 101 is your life. She also grades things harshly, aparently not realizing that there is more to life than constantly looking at her webpage. Despite the annoyance with the nightly homework, she does however explain the material extremely well and thoroughly. Her quizzes are hard though, covering EVERYTHING you were supposed to have learned. If you don't study AND read, you're screwed. She expects a lot from her students, which, I guess, can be a good thing, except when you are taking 20 units and have to fulfill the lowest ranked class for your major. If you're willing to do a lot of crap work, then take Hamilton. You will learn something. | |

I took Hamiltons AGB 101 in the fall of 2000 and I thought that she did a really good job. She is very good about explaining the information. It helps that she loves what she is teaching and she always has examples to go along with concepts. I would recommend anyone taking her class. | |

Hamilton is good. The class got boring at times but that was not her fault. The course material just gets a little boring. | |

She is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She explains the material in an understandable manner. I came from AGB 212 with a C and she made econ so much more comprehensible. The homework is key to studying because it reflects the tests exactly. | |

She's alright, the class is easy and the tests are easy. She could have been more helpful with questions asked. There is a lot of homework assigned but the stuff is very easy it just gets annoying after a while. Favortism in class, directs stuff towards a couple students all the time. | |

She is defintely sitting upon a high horse that she needs to get off of. Does give everything needed to pass the tests and the tests are basic. Too many stupid little assignments, and i think her Grading Policies suck. The distribution of weighted points towards quizzes, midterm, final, homework, and paper really need to be adjusted, where the more important stuff like midterm and final should be worth more. | |

Ms. Hamilton is a good teacher. She explains everything in a clear manner to the class until they understand. The only thing that holds me back from saying she is an excellent teacher is that she is way too hyper, perhaps because she loves the subject so much. I sometimes came out of the class with headaces because she would never ever stop talking. She talks fast and lectures constantly. It seems as if the whole class period, she never takes a breath. However, this method isnt a total failure. She gets out the material clear, surpsrisingly. Her tests are pretty easy requiring only a little bit of studying. Her homework load varies, though. One week she may assign almost no homework while the next week she can overload you with many assignments. I think this is due to her hyper state. Overall, I would rate her 7 out of 10. If you take the class and do a little bit of studying, you can get a B pretty easily. A shot out goes out to my homies in P.D. peace | |
