Reviews of professor Kara Hume

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Hume brightens my day! As a senior, I had already heard a lot of information that we covered and did not find the class difficult at all. While there are a good amount of assignments, they're not hard and graded fairly. She would be a great mentor for anyone who needs guidance on a career path or who has questions about HDFS. She's super sweet!

I loved this class! Dr. Hume is so supportive. She cares about her students so much. To get a good grade, you have to attend lectures but they're actually interesting. There's a good amount of assignments, but they aren't hard at all and the grading is very reasonable. The exams are very straightforward too. I definitely recommend taking EDUC 181!

Dr. Hume is so kind, caring, and passionate about her field. Her class is not hard at all, but there is one semester-long group project that requires meeting outside of class. EDUC 405 had no exams and a few easy open book quizzes. She is so awesome, definitely take her class if you have the chance!

Take a class with Kara!!! She is the most caring professor ever. She cares more about students learning the material than grades so it is a very easy A. The only con is there are a lot of guest lectures which can be boring. Kara really emphasizes each student's well-being and always finds ways to destress us. Also, she has the cutest laugh ever!

Professor Hume is awesome!! One of the best. I had her during the COVID pandemic & she was so caring & understanding -- she wants what is best for her students! The class is really easy, you just have to make sure you do the work as they say they want it (if you follow the rubric you get a 100). I strongly recommend this class as an easy A!

I love Dr. Hume and agree with all the other good stuff that's been said about her. BUT... there is A LOT of work for this class, or at least a lot of unnecessary work that I was not expecting. We have 4 engagement activities, 3 exams, 1 group project, 1 six-page paper, 1 project, and an attendance sheet we fill out in class every day.

Kara is incredible. She is so caring and clearly knowledgeable and passionate on the subject. I would take her over and over again. The class was pretty easy but with a little effort an A is very achievable. Kara is one of the best professors and she brings snacks for the class

Honestly the sweetest professor I've ever had. The course work was easy, especially if you are interested in any of the many topics of HDFS covered. Prof. Hume made sure to take extra good care of us during finals season with constant check-in's and lectures devoted to student health (stress and mental health related)
