Reviews of professor Maria Odum-Hinmon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very tough grader for what's supposed to be an easy class. Says textbook isn't required but every assignment & quizzes are very textbook heavy. If you don't buy it you wont pass no doubt. I only took this class for elective credits but she made it very hard & tedious for no reason. Doesn't really teach, just reads off powerpoints. Don't recommend.

Dr. Odum-Hinmon is very knowledgeable about writing. She is very good at explaining what is needed to succeed in the class. She responds quickly to emails. She gives feedback so students know how improve their writing. She provides examples of her work in the field to give students real-world examples of what we are learning about in class.

If you turn in your assignments, proofread your work, and participate in class, you should make an A. We did practice assignments in class before the real assignments were due.

Honestly I reached out to Ms. O through email and she does reply but honestly is not helpful. You need the textbook to pass the class, there is no type of teaching going on in this class, you read from the textbook, the powerpoint arent even hers and are old She is a tough grader, I got a 79 and I knew she wouldnt give me an 80, she sucks honestly

Dr. Odum-Hinmon seems to really care about her students and the field of journalism. She has helped me improve my writing in her class, and she has given me advice that helped my writing in other classes. I like her examples from her experiences at several major newspapers.

Professor Odum-Hinmon talks very quietly and slowly. She doesnt seem to have a plan for class and just reads out loud from the text book. She is unclear about work assignments and barely even talks about them before they are due. I do not recommend taking this professor.

I honestly wouldn't take this class again. It was rather difficult, the quizzes gave me a headache honestly .She really doesn't even teach AT ALL. It's other PowerPoints from like years ago and they dont even help honestly. Dont take her

This professor was very fair and allowed us to rewrite our stories for a higher grade after giving feedback. She gave lots of real-world examples of covering news stories.

She is an extremely tough grader and doesn't even teach. She just uses old powerpoints and videos that aren't even hers. Doesn't really help much. Weekly quizzes that are usually like 4 questions and are super hard. I took this class as an elective and it's literally my hardest class. Don't take!!
