He absolutely loves what he does and loves plants, and wants you to love plants too. By far my favorite course this semester. I hope everyone gets to take this course before they leave A&M.

I would recommend this class to anyone needing to take a Social and Behavioral Sciences class. No textbook needed, Easy weekly quiz with all the answers being very easy to find. Class is not mandatory however I highly recommend going because they're fun and Dr. Hall loves to talk to his students and have fun! Also a bonus is FREE PLANTS!!

Awesome professor. Honestly just really engaging and fun. His class is incredibly easy, just make sure you set reminders for the quizzes each week! Free plants and bonus questions. Attendance is not mandatory, and not really necessary either, but his lectures are never boring. 10/10.

Every week there is a lecture, some readings, and a weekly quiz, which is generally very easy as long as you understand the readings. Additionally, Dr. Hall gave us 3 extra credit points and he orders 4 free plants throughout the semester for students. He is a genuinely amazing person and great professor!

Probably my favorite professor, he has days throughout the year that you can get a free plant from him. The entire course is graded by 2 tests and a project: The tests are open note and you have all day for the midterm, like 2 weeks for the final, and the entire course for the project. He has good lectures but frequently gets off topic lol.

Professor Hall is hands down one of the greatest professors I have taken at this school, I highly recommend taking him for this class. The class is made up of 2 exams (33.3% each) and a community service project (33.4%). He offers around 2-4 extra credit points on your course grade as well. Show up to class for free exam questions and answers.

Dr. Hall is a great professor. There is no textbook, but he publishes modules with websites to read and slides from class each week. Class consists of 2 exams worth 33.3% and one service learning project worth 33.4%. You don't have to show up to class, but he occasionally gives away free plants, so be sure to read your Canvas announcements.

Professor Hall was a very down-to-earth guy. His class was super manageable and didn't require much work. When he assigned assignments though they were weighted heavily. The assignments were fairly easy and the tests were online. This class was very engaging and was one of the best classes to get an A. I strongly recommend this class!

This is by far the best lecturer I have ever had. He made it worth getting up for the 8am class every time. The class has 4 grades plus 3 extra credit assignments, and is extremely easy. While attendance isn't mandatory it is always recommended to come since some final exam questions you could only answer if you attended.

One of the best professors I have ever had. Lots of people register, and very few show up. SHOWING UP TO CLASS IS WORTH IT. He will give out test answers in class, and his class is worth it in general. Dr. Hall will also give out free plants to his class. If you put in the work, you should get an A. Class focuses on learning, not the grade.

Awesome professor with amazing and engaging lectures. Attendance is not mandatory, so most students do not show up, but show up once in a while to show some appreciation; he really is passionate. This semester was particularly bad on attendance so he put some questions on the final that only dedicated students would know, but he curved the final.

Prof Hall was great! Fast facts - there isn't a set attendance policy, he runs a flipped classroom teaching method, the two exams are online, and the class only meets once a week (for a tues/thurs schedule). The only thing you really have to worry about is the service learning projects

Dr. Hall's exams can be up to interpretation. For the final exam, he asked a question regarding his personal life, with a multitude of 15 answer choices to choose from along with the question being a 'check all that apply'. This dilemma was for multiple questions on his final, which resulted in him having to curve. If u miss 1 class, it can hurt.

Dr. Hall would provide weekly material to review before students came to class, and would then decide to only talk about it for less than 10 minutes, however the context would be on the exams. If material was light and doable, it would have been fair, however, it would consist of multiple readings, videos, websites, and papers, all lengthy

This class was so hard. I went to every lecture and did all the reading, and I still struggled on the tests. He doesn't give study guides for the tests so it was super hard to know what to review. He does give extra credit which is a plus. He was funny, but I felt like he didn't like us to ask questions in class which made it even more difficult.

I took him for 335 and 426. I did not show up to a single class in 335. Not one. Got a 99 in the class. I showed up to almost every class for 426 because attendance was worth a lot and I learned not one thing. It was so boring. Dr. Hall is the goat tho. Would take him a third time just to hear him mess up peoples names every single day. 10/10

To be honest, I took this class for the reason of learning because I was actually really interested in the material, which did not really work too well. I know a lot of people take this class mainly because it is easy, and if you want an easy class, go for this one, but if you are interested in learning this material, maybe try something else.

Exams are all online and were tougher than I expected - but I'm sure if I went to class more they wouldn't have been as difficult! There is a project where you have to volunteer and write a paper about it - however, I had a lot of fun doing it! Even though I got a B, an A is doable if you go to class.
