Reviews of professor Christine Hawn

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I really enjoyed taking this class with Dr. Hawn. They made an effort and showed they cared about their students. Offers extra credit, one module and one quiz per week due on Sundays (2 homeworks per week), and class participation is part of your grade but if you miss class you can make up what you missed. Overall a pretty good class.

I was very excited to take this class, but ended up learning almost nothing. Half of the class is spent on lectures by Dr. Hawn about random environmental topics and the other half is student-led "discussions." No grades were provided until end of semester. Do not take this class if you want to learn anything.

The exams are 60% of the grade, but Hawn fails to prepare us adequately for them. When Hawn gave us study guides for the exam, the 1st one we received was sparse in content, and many of us got bad grades. The 2nd time, Hawn gave us a longer one, but did so two days before the exam, despite her promise to give us the guide the week before the test.

Very nice and understanding professor. They aren't the best lecturer but as long as you keep up somewhat with the presentations and the textbook you are good to go. Weekly quiz and module assignment, three unit exams, and three reflection writing responses. Easy science class, would recommend to fulfill credit.

overall this class was kinda boring when i took it. there were some interesting pieces in the lectures sometimes, when dr hawn was talking about something other than the direct subject matter of the class. overall, pretty easy, but just a prerequisite. i hope i get to take an actually interesting class with them

Very understanding and accessible if there's an issue but I felt like the class was disorganized with no clear grading criteria and there were no grades in at the end of the semester. I was interested in the class at first but eventually lost interest because I wasn't learning very much and felt like I was wasting my time.

They did awesome in an online environment. There was weekly assignments with 3 total papers (reflections) that were super simple if you followed the prompt. As long as you followed the clear instructions and didn't write anything objectively terrible, you'd get a good grade on everything. Lectures were super fun, and the class was really chill.

Great professor who works with you and understands that life happens outside of school. Very knowledgable of GES subjects, loves spiders, and is extremely caring. If you're looking at this because you don't know if you want them as your professor, stop waiting and just sign up. You won't regret it!
