Reviews of professor Nadia Houchens

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you don't enjoy group projects avoid her! Was only given group projects, because shes lazy and doesn't want to grade multiple papers, not because she thinks they are helpful. Doesn't teach and just meets in class to tell you what to read. Always changing what she wants, depending on her mood. Avoid!

PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT TAKE HER. She is a very nice person but has no respect for the time and energy students put into their work. Grades all papers at the end of the semester, doesn't respond to emails, class may happen but don't be surprised if you and other students show up and she doesn't. It has happened a few times.

While you will learn something from her class, she was not very clear on instructions or due dates, had unfair grading criteria, and was semi-inconsistent with deadlines. She seemed very self-centered and often got carried away during lectures to the point where the original topic was lost.

I have had Mrs. Houchens 8 times since I have came to WKU. I will say she takes FOREVER to grade any work. She is a very caring and kind teacher but her work seems like busy work than actually trying to learn. The work is redundant or its online group projects. I will say though that she is very lenient on giving extensions.

Takes forever to grade, but she's a good person!

She can be scattered but overall the class is easy. This is the second course I have taken with her and I have enjoyed both classes. Be ready for group projects, she gives 2 attempts for quizzes and homework. She replies back to emails in a timely manner and cares about her students.

I had took Ms.Houchens around the first semester I came to Western, and she was very honest and understanding. Since the first time we spoke Ms.Houchens as always held concern for her students. Though she doesn't grade assignments the quickest, but she get back with you when you have questions or concerns. Overall I'm taking her again next semester

Ms. Houchens is my go-to gal for questions about HCA. This class only met in-person twice, which to me is a positive! My only qualm was the group work: I did a lot, whereas some did a little. Since our last meeting involved a presentation, I think she could tell, but remained impartial and provided good feedback to everyone. Would take again!

The laziest teacher I have ever had. She changed class everyday- one day she was cool another day she had 10 things due in one night. Does not believe in lectures she never taught but expected you to know material. She was fired from our PH class and replaced with the Dean. DO NOT TAKE HER
