She is very clear about what is due and when. She is very helpful outside of class by e-mail. The labs aren't that exciting, but they aren't too difficult and you have the instructions plus she goes over them in class. Dosen't seem super excited to be in class, but she makes science understandable

Only good thing is attendance isnt required, however, if you dont go often you wont do well

Tests are very hard but the class in general is hard. She gives extra credit to help boost your grade if needed.

She is really nice but pretty hard. Attendance is not mandatory but 10% of your grade will be a random day she chooses to take attendance. SHe offers extra credit. Her test dont have much to do with her study guides. If you need help she is more than willing. Her final is optional

This class is super-hard, but it is the subject and amount of information. Carol was clear and concise and very helpful during the entire course.

The class is all on powerpoints that she posts. Huge class, so no attendance. A few group projects, Labs are online. you will need to learn some things on your own because she just reads from powerpoint. Tests are slighly hard. Extra credit if you do a presentation and if you find and article that has to do with some topic from class.

Lectures are boring, and although they're directly off power point slides, those slides are like cheat sheets for the exams. I never cracked the book - only attended class and reviewed slides and earned an A+ in the class. If the book and notes contradict one another, always go with the notes.

Prof. Hoban doesn't give homework and the labs are online. The first 3 labs require thought but after that you can answer the quiz without reading the labs. Hoban speaks slowly during lecture so you can get good notes. The test are a combo of notes and lecture.

she teaches from the powerpoints that are online and says to read the book but i dont think i opened it all semester. she doesnt give homework and the labs are online and you dont need to turn most in. the labs are mostly ridiculous and tedious and there are a few test questions about them. overall she is a decent teacher.

I actually liked Hoban for APII lab. Homework is required-but without it I would have done horrible. I wouldn't have done it but because it was a grade it forced me to do the reviews for each chapter. The reviews help A LOT on the two lab exams. She always goes over the Kinko's Guide first thing, then you re-learn it again for the remainder of the

Mrs. Hoban is AWESOME. The class is very interesting. The tests are all over the power points. I didn't use my book once, and I got an A. Study the powerpoints, do the labs, and you have SEVERAL chances to improve your grade if you mess up!! You can't get a bad grade unless your stupid. I'd take her again..

She was a little monotonous, but she was clear and had notes for you to download while she went over them in class. I felt prepared for the test because I showed up for every class. She knew what she was talking about and I learned new things about the environment. What more can you ask for? Do the work (labs) and show up and you will be fine.

This is just a tough biology class. Prof gives A LOT of useful study materials/learning objectives and is fair with bonus points. Read every chapter! just going to class is not enough. Use the online study tools that come with the textbook (masteringbiology.com), test questions are very similar to the questions on those practice tests.

She is a nice person but she floods you with WAY TOO MUCH to study and she only puts 30% of all that in her test! I found out that if you dont read the book your done and if you dont come to class you are also finished lol...Overall ok teacher just a hard class!!!

Any extra help that was needed was posted online. Extra credit was given through activities posted online. Well organized. Read the book, come to class and you'll do fine.

After reading some reviews, I figured I would add my two cents. Dr. Hoban is a fair professor, a little green when it comes to lecture, but she covers what will be on the exam in class. Read the chapter and make your own notes before you come to class. Read your notes everyday and you will be on your way to an A.

Biology is a hard class in general. She gives you way too much stuff that's not even necessary. I mean, she's a really nice professor and always has at least 5 bonus questions on the test, but the amount of material she makes us study is ridiculous. She gives practice questions(which are extremely difficult) and then says the test is even harder

A & P covers a large amount of material so be prepared and keep up with the workload. She posts pwr pnt notes online and gives extra credit on tests. Attend the SI sessions and you should do great. She is very clear about what will be on the exams and gives sample questions that will show up on the tests. Be sure to use the MyA&P website.

Attendance not required, but I suggest you attend. Read the book, it's too much material for just lecture, if you think otherwise you will have a bad grade. Study to the learning objectives, read, and attend class and you should get an A or B. I did not attend SI. Got an A. Very difficult class. She will not do your work for you!But she's not bad!

Still a little green in the teaching so spends too much time reading the powerpoints in class instead of adding additional notes to them but otherwise great professor. Notes available online, provides great supplemental material (objectives, worksheets). Its BIO so of course you need to read the book & study but do the work and you can get an A.

Hoban is a good teacher. She reads directly from the powerpoint. You watch videos every once in a while and there are a few questions on the tests about them. I bought the book but never used it and got an "A" in the class. She provides all the material you need through GeorgiaView. She offers extra credit. I would take her again.

She's really nice and always willing to help. BIOL 2221 is a really hard course in general. Dr. Hoban does her best to help students and is really easy to listen to in lecture. This course IS challenging, but it's definitely possible to succeed if you put in the effort. Attending class is a must, it will make the tests easier if you do.

Anatomy is hard no matter who you take..but i am glad i got to take Hoban.. Attendance is not mandatory at all.. i never went to class and made good grades on the test. Use the learning objectives and READ THE BOOK!! Tests are very very hard...but then again all anatomy tests are. If you dont read the book dont expect to do well.. overall take he

I had her for BIOL 2221 Lab this summer. Her study guides are exactly like the exams, however, if you don't know those study guides backwards and forwards you won't do well. Class was strictly memorization, she was helpful when asked but always seemed like she didn't want to be there. I'd take her over Tresham though!

This course was incredibly hard, but not by the fault of this teacher. There is a LOT of material and she does a good job getting it all covered on time. However, not a lot of time can be spent explaining every detail, so you really have to study the book religiously at home.

She is a wonderful teacher. Gives you a load of extra study material, of course you do it if you want a good grade. Offers an SI leader unlike other instructors. Will answer your questions. She is really nice and delightful to talk to. A&P is hard and covers a lot, so its up to you to do the work. Definitely take Hoban for both lecture and lab.

Hoban seemed like a nice teacher, and she was willing to answer any questions in class. However, she read straight from the powerpoints which literally directly came from the book. I did not feel going to class was that mandatory. She offers many worksheets and SI sessions, so take advantage of those. There is a lot of difficult material.

Although science is my weakest subject, Dr. Hoban's class is more than manageable with online labs and 3 tests. Her only weakness is heavy reliance on powerpoints, reading directly off them. She's a brilliant lady and her knowledge may be suited for a higher level course. I made a solid B. recommend this professor.

She's a decent teacher, i am taking here for another class. Lots of videos and a few in class assignments. Easy A.

Posts her notes online, posts study guides. Simple grading scale and she grades fairly. Her tests are not too difficult. Her tests include application of knowledge questions along with definition and general knowledge type of questions. The homework assignments and online labs/quizzes are straightforward.

She's very well organized and posts the power points for every chapter, goes over the content of upcoming tests and explains the labs. Overall, the content is not very difficult and the tests are easy - READ THE BOOK! Some of the lab quizzes can be tricky. This is a 4 credit class due to the labs - lots of busy work.

While this professor may cause you to loose the will to live during boring lectures, the tests are TAME and there are plenty of extra assignments (online homework, labs.. etc.) to help boost grades. Attendance isn't mandatory... nor is it especially vital. Just be sure to study the power-points she posts!

Like others have said, she does read off of the powerpoints. she has lab quizzes and if you do the labs, you do well on the quiz. Her tests are basically memory if you don't have a knack for science, but I got 80, 88 on first two. She's really kinda boring, but if you follow along its not too bad. If you have any questions she will clarify. Helpful

This class is ridiculously easy. Attendance isn't mandatory at all, seeing as she reads straight off the powerpoints and you can just study at home. You DO have to read the book and do labs, but nothing too hard.

Class is super easy but boring. She reads straight from the power points and doesn't elaborate much although she will help you if you don;t understand something. Attendance isn't mandatory and she often lets class out really early. If you're not a science major take her but if you are you won't learn much.

Awesome teacher, super helpful and flexible. If you live off campus or stack your schedule make sure this is either your first or last class of the day because she cancel class constantly, like 8 or 9 days a semester, for moviestudy days.

If you have to take the core Science classes, this is the professor to take. She's awesome, lecturesPPTs are interesting and she gives you TONS of days out of class to do work at home. I only went to class on Test days and passed with an A. If you read the PPTS you will pass. She provides a study guide as well. Super easy to succeed.

You barely have to show up for lectures and if you do she lets you out early overtime! There are no quizzes or homework really. And she's super fun

Loved this professor

Great professor!
