Reviews of professor Louisa Hooven

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I enjoyed this class, it was a breeze for the most part! It is intense, reading heavy, lots of videos, and group projects every week, research papers every week. BUT can take quizzes an infinite # of times, papers are always given 100 in my experience and group work can be turned in if others don't work, she's flexible. Got a 98!

There is no textbook, midterm or final in this class and you can take the quizzes as many times as necessary to achieve your desired grade. The one thing I cannot stand about this class is the group projects. Every. Single. Week. My group never replies to me and I always end up doing all the work.

Dr. Hooven is great! She cares about the material and provides many resources to learn about pollinators. Prepare for a weekly class discussion post, many group projects, an individual research project, easy quizzes. You will learn so much if you apply yourself, do the research, and communicate with the group. Pay attention to the grading rubric!

Professor NEVER responded to ANY of my emails about grades or questions. I emailed her 8 different times throughout the term and never got a response. She is an easy grader as long as you respond with thoughtful discussion posts that reiterate the lecture material. I felt I didn't learn much in this class, and it wasted my time.

This was a 4 week accelerated course that would have been tough even if if spread through 10 weeks. An insane amount of work to do for a level 200 course. I took Spanish 1 and 2 as accelerated courses and they weren't as much work as this. She has all 10 modules and they are due every 2-3 days through the 4 weeks. I withdrew.
