Reviews of professor Samantha Hoekstra

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Amazing teacher, super nice and helpful! If you do well early on with tests and discussions, you most likely won't have to do the timeline, the 7th test, other discussions, etc. Also eventually if you reach the point maximum you don't have to show up to class or the scheduled presentation times. Easy grader, highly recommend!

LOVE HER!! Her class is interactive in a good way. A very different approach to learning and very helpful in memorizing information. Her lectures are short and to the point but giving information needed to learn but nothing over the top. She does require two presentations in this class, so if you have social anxiety this might not be for you. 10/10

Prof Hoekstra is amazing. Loved going to her class and listening to her lectures & they are especially helpful to do well in the class. She is very kind and caring, you can tell she loves what she does and wants to see us all succeed. The course load is consistent and manageable, which was great. One tip: be prepared for presentations!

Easy class once you get the groove of things. 7 tests, only requires 5. 14 discussions, only requires 10. Other assignments include focus panels & timelines w/ one final essay at the end. Focus panels are short ppt presentations and timelines are what they sound like. Class is pretty easy but has a lot of busy work in my opinion so stay on track.

I could not recommend Professor Hoekstra enough, she is absolutely amazing. You'll have so much fun with the assignments she gives you, and her class is wonderfully organized and structured. You'll learn a lot just by doing her assignments, I promise. Take her class, you won't regret it!

Professor Hoekstra gave great lectures. I took her during Summer, and we had to do two presentations, but only one of them had to be given in front of the class. She's a really nice professor. Attend class and you will be fine.

Amazing professor! Had her this semester and she was wonderful! Professor Hoekstra is very dedicated to her subject, her lectures are super interesting. She cares about her students, replies quickly, offers help, and the workload is reasonable. Don't be intimated by the presentations , they're not bad! I would definitely take her class again :)

Very straight forward class and professor! Every assignment has clear directions. Easy A to me, can be a little time consuming with the little projects such as a timeline with 20 artifacts but still easy! I recommend!
