Reviews of professor Janine Hornung

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I only had to take this course for credit however, I really enjoyed taking Ms. Hornung's course. There is a bit of reading, but as long as you keep engaged, and try your best should be fine :) I also really liked the layout, the whole course was quite easy to follow.

I found her to be a very attentive professor. She grades and responds to emails quickly. Her grading is clear and gives feedback on answers you got wrong and where to find the answers. There is a free textbook that she provides. As long as you stay on top of the assignments that are due each week, you will not have a problem with this class.

This class was very frustrating. The material is not hard but there is a few quizzes and a lot of reading. What really sucks though is her grading system. She only gives a 4.0 if you get 100% in her class which is unfair. You get one question wrong on a 20 question quiz the first week and you 4.0 you've been working on for 4 years is ruined.

There's a lot of little assignments that are built into the reading each week. Though she had great variation in materials and activities, I found the content of the class to be quite dry. I was expecting this class to be focused on marine biology, instead the content of the class is focused on the more technical stuff that happens in the ocean.

I enjoyed taking Jan Fall 2020. All of the modules were clear and extremely easy to follow along with. She was a quick responder and gave good feedback on assignments. She doesn't require a textbook which is a plus. The assignments were also pretty fun and interesting and not hard. She was also super understanding with the circumstances we're in.

Professor Hornung is a wonderful professor. She has very clear grading criteria, and is very clear in what she expects from you. There is A LOT of reading (no textbook required), weekly quizzes/discussion posts, and one research paper. Overall easy class if you manage your time well!

I have never been great at science, but this class was great! I really liked all the things I learned, and the homework/readings are all manageable. She provides videos and other ways to understand more difficult concepts. 10/10 would take her class again. Also no textbook, as it is provided.

Super sweet lady, knows what she's talking about and is passionate about it. Stay on top of things, write your discussion posts, and do your "labs". Simple and actually quite fun to learn about!
