Hes literally the best teacher you could find for Geography, for both students who are looking for mandatory WLC class & actually interested in Geography and wanting to learn more. His tests are easy and open notes so as long as you take detailed notes from class you should be getting decent grade. Also his class includes many helpful information

There's no homework, just open note tests, but they're not hard. I recommend making a huge google doc of all the notes and use that for the tests. An easy A for sure !!

Hopkins is hands down the best Geography Teacher at UGA. No matter how invested you are in the subject it is the right choice for you. Professor Hopkins clearly cares about the subject and will explain everything thoroughly, but he is not a tough grader at all so those who need the class can do just as well. He also did zoom meeting which was nice.

I did not go to class a single time and made a high A in the class. Tests are straight from fill-in the black notes and slides from class and people were constantly updating the notes in the GroupMe. No assignments other than very easy, but slightly long tests. This is the best class to take to satisfy a physical science credit.

This class is super easy if you get the notes. He does not post the notes so you kind of have to go to class or have a friend go and send you the notes. When taking the tests I would just make sure you know what was on the slides and that is all. Class is pretty chill, but you do kind of have to show up. He is chill, but lectures can be boring.

Hopkins is so chill. Just show up to class, take the notes that he literally has word for word on the board, and then every test is online and you can use all the notes. The tests use the same words as his notes too, so literally everyone should get an A in the class. Such an easy class for your physical science credit.

Professor Hopkins is such a nice guy! He gives you fill in the blank lectures, so its beneficial to show up to class, but not mandatory. The class is graded only through the tests, but they are online and you can use your notes. He also gives an extra credit quiz that you can take towards the end of the semester to add points to your final grade.

Dr. Hopkins is an easy teacher and you should definitely take him if you just need the credit. If you are actually an ATSC major I would not recommend this class because you don't really learn much. He gave two opportunities for extra credit so go to class on the last day (+10 pts). Exams are take home super easy just make a word doc.

Professor Hopkins is the chillest teacher I have had at UGA. He recognizes that students won't come to class because attendance isn't mandatory. However, I highly recommend it as all of his tests (which are online, and he encourages you to take them open notes) come straight from the notes, and he doesn't post class lectures. Great guy easy class

Such a good professor! Lectures are very straightforward, and fill-in-the-blank notes are provided for each lecture, but you do need to attend to actually get the content. Tests are all take-home, and he is super chill about everything and even provides extra credit at the end of the semester for those who want to take it.

All the other reviews say he's a chill guy for a reason, but what pushed him to 5/5 in my book was his absolutely dope hats. He has some kinda cowboy hat with a huge (real) raccoon tail ornament tied on the back and it's so funny to see every time he walks into class, it looks right off the show "Yellowstone". Come for the hat, stay for the easy A.

Sweetest and most precious man to exist. You have to only do one map quiz in the beginning and then four exams (no final as the final is just the fourth exam but you don't need to review from the whole year). If you want real notes, I highly recommend making a friend and alternating going and taking real notes for tests. Tests are fully open notes

No homework! All you have to do is notes. He posts them online, but you need to come to class to fill in blanks from his presentation. The exams are not lockdown, super easy, basically just the notes word for word. He has a dry sense of humor and always makes me chuckle. One day, he gave us extra credit just for coming to class bc it was raining.
