Reviews of professor Gareth Hopkins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Hopkins is wonderful, super knowledgeable and you can tell he really cares about what he is teaching. Subject matter is super interesting as well, which made it easy for me to learn everything with minimal studying. I will take any class I can in the future with him!

Dr. Hopkins is very excited and passionate about what he teaches. This translates very well into his classes where he makes you feel excited about the work you are doing. He wants his students to do the best they can, having a professor root for your success is very refreshing!

Not very interactive as an instructor. Doesn't respond well when asked a question, and is pretty inflexible when something comes up in personal life. Would not choose to take a course from him again.

Dr. Hopkins is a wonderful professor! Out of all the profs I've had at WOU, he definitely is one of my top ten. He provides clear and crisp lectures that are not only memorable but very engaging as well. He's also very passionate about his work and students success. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Hopkins is passionate about what he teaches. The textbook was not required and he provided scans when needed. This is not a class to just skate by and do minimal work. You need to put in the effort, but then it is very rewarding. Be prepared for intense field days for lab; it is a lot of knowledge thrown at you, but incredibly worthwhile.

I have had Dr. Hopkins as a professor before in BI212 and he was excellent. For Bio Stats online though, the story is different. He assigned way too much work for being in the middle of a pandemic and expected everything to be done so quickly. I spent probably 10+ hours a week on his class and often found myself falling behind on other classes.
