He pushes his students as hard as he does himself.” “He really cares about his students. Outside the classroom, as well as during lectures, he is always approachable. His willingness to help and talk to the students has no boundaries. Somehow he manages never to lose his patience and never makes us feel incompetent.” “Professor Hutchinson's teaching does not only encompass course material. He is very interested in helping our personal development. He leads by example and has tried to instill in us the very ideals of honesty, dedication, responsibility and professionalism that he demands of himself. We view him as an exceptional role model, both as a person and in his profound care and personal involvement with those around him.” “Some memories of the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ will be brighter than others, while many will become blurry with time.
