Reviews of professor Davis Hankins

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Hankins is very knowledgeable. You can tell he loves what he teaches and cares about students. Sometimes his lectures are a bit dry/disorganized. Most of our work was participation-graded, but our paper at the end was content-based and he was TOUGH when grading them. But overall, I think he's a good professor and I would take him again!

The class is pretty average, but Dr. Hankins is pretty nice and funny. There is a lot of reading (reading and discussion post due before each class, at least 200 words). 5 other short writing assignments (1-2 pages each). Class is straight lectures so it can get boring, but he gave us the option to come to class or watch through Zoom.

Dr. Davis Hankins is a very nice person and his humor is great. He does his best to make the class interesting and is super passionate about what he teaches. However, this was the hardest class I have taken this semester. The majority of one's grade relies on three tests, which are very hard. There's a lot of reading and class is only lectures.

Hankins acts like he is this nice carring guy but he is really mean. Maybe just dont take his class over the summer because it is super hard but he assigns WAY to much reading and expects students to remember every word of the reading for the quizzes. The quizzes are insanely difficult and they are worded in a very confusing way.

passionate and has a great sense of humor; however, the lectures and lecture slides make NO SENSE. Exams are super tough, even though they are online. The good thing is that there are 10 essays and 27 short responses, but only a certain amount is required so you can pick the prompt. If you do the assignments, it's fine bc the exams only weigh 15%.
