Reviews of professor Mia Bovill

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Do NOT take a class with Dr. Bovill. She is super passionate about astronomy but is the most disorganized and unprepared professor I have ever had. You cannot reach her out of class, but if you ask to talk in class, she tells you to email her. I took Cosmic Origins to double tip NSC and HT, but it wasn't worth it. Worst class I've taken at TCU.

Dr. Bovill is nice, and easily reachable outside of class. She was often late uploading assignments or putting in grades. Most of the lectures are pretty heavy. You need to pay attention and take good notes or you will not do well.

Dr. Bovill is a wonderful professor. She is passionate about what she teaches, making her lectures engaging. The only bad thing about her class is her PowerPoints which makes it hard to study after class or review but she is very accessible and always ready to help. Her exams, quizzes, and homework are relatively easy if you attend lectures.

Lectures were very hard to follow. She gave us lecture "guides" but she would not confirm whether or not we wrote down the proper material making it a very unreliable "study aid". Attempted an office hours meeting with her and she just rambled and I left more confused than before. Avoid her class if you don't want your GPA to suffer.

I took Dr. Bovill for Cosmic Origins, and she's clearly very passionate about astronomy, which is really cool! Unfortunately, her office hours are very limited and she was incredibly inconsistent with answering her email or posting things to her website.

Dr. B really cares about her students! She is so accessible outside of class, and always happy to help if you don't fully get a concept. Would 100% recommend taking her classes!

Dr. Bovill can be difficult to get in contact with sometimes but her amazing lectures really make up for it. She lets you do a bunch of group work to help lead you to concepts to help solidify concepts and I've met some really great friends in her classes because of this. She is also chatty so if you go too office hours be prepared to chat it up.
