Reviews of professor Tyler Hodges

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I hate biology, but Hodges made it as accessible and easy to approach as it could have been. It's a pure lecture class with multiple-choice tests, so come to class ready to listen and take notes, otherwise, it's not worth showing up. I skipped every Friday class and still made an A+, but he gives bonus points some days so it's worth showing up.

Dr. Hodges is great. I wish he taught other Bio courses because I would take him. He makes sure you understand all of the material thoroughly. His tests are also VERY easy compared to other BSC 114 teachers. He has a great personality and cares about his students.

I WILL BE MAD IF YOU DON'T CHOOSE HIM! I mean he gives you bonus points and curves the test. As far as the course content use the textbook, PowerPoints, dynamic study modules, and tutoring sessions (BONUS POINTS) to get A's on the test. Do this over 3-4 weeks. In-class open note quizzes and welcoming outside of class. Lectures are informative!

One of the best professors I have had. Microbial ecology is a difficult class because it is a lot of information , but he is very helpful during office hours and will take his time to make sure you understand the concepts. You can tell he cares about his students and wants the best for them. The class was interesting! In class experiments too!

Super nice guy! Lectures can be a little hard to sit through sometimes but it is important you go. There is a quiz every day to measure attendance however, I didn't go to every class and the lectures are posted online. Don't recommend skipping classes though. The exams can be difficult.

I love his class. He gives lots of extra credit and his tests aren't too hard. He is always smiling. He is passionate about what he does. I would 100% take again

Dr. Hodges is very kind and caring. He is accessible outside of class and offered extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.

I think Hodges is great, his lectures were straightforward and he gives bonus points out every once in a while, but I also thought his tests were really hard. I would study for hours and feel prepared and still end up with a terrible grade on the test; he would give points back on exams sometimes though. Be prepared to study a lot!

Dr. Hodges was fantastic. He did everything he could to help his students succeed in this content-heavy course. Attendance is not mandatory, but I suggest going because in-class quizzes will help your grade if you don't do well on a test. Tests were of moderate difficulty, so study because it's not a cram course.
