Reviews of professor Alexander Hoover

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Alexander Hoover is a fair calculus professor. He genuinely cares that the students learn the material and understand how to apply it. If you have taken a calc class before, his class will be much easier to understand. I had not taken any form of a calc class and found it to be very challenging ( as calculus tends to be) GO TO EVERY CLASS!!!!!!!!

Hoover is very obviously too new at teaching. He isn't understanding at all and he flies through topics far too fast. He belittles students when they go to ask questions and a lot of times doesn't even finish example problems and expects us to know the rest. He assumes we also have degrees in Math. He is overall very rude and not a great prof.

Included conceptual reasoning for differential equations Homework is easy & graded on correctness, tests are not easy Knows content very well, but needs practice on teaching Personal research interfered with some lectures (had a sub) & with office hour time, even during finals week 1/4 credit back on corrected test questions that class did badly on
