This class is amazing! Class is only one day a week and everything is online. Professor Hall is very entertaining and makes class very enjoyable. Would highly recommend!
Absolutely AMAZING!!! Loved the course and recommend it to anyone who needs an ICD credit. This man has a wonderful sense of humor. 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. Literally show up and pass.
Such a great professor that really cares about doing what's best for his students. Loved all his lectures and he works with you if you happen to miss an assignment. Howdy said we would meet on both Tues and Thurs but its actually a hybrid class.
Great professor! Took this for an elective. Tuesday/Thursday class but you actually only have class on Tuesdays! Extremely interesting content and very easy.
Dr. Hall's class is a must take! Says its Tuesday/Thursday, but it is only Tuesday. Super fun and interesting lectures. Tons of extra credit opportunities and free plants! Take him!
Great professor, made this subject enjoyable. Easy A if you just do what your supposed to do in and out of class.
Dr. Hall is amazing! I took him because of his awesome reviews and they were spot on! Literally the easiest A I've ever gotten for a 3 hour class! The only hard part is remembering to do the online assignment on Thursdays, which are super easy! The class is interesting! Dr. Hall is literally the most enthusiastic and passionate professor! The best!
Friendliest and funniest professor I have ever had. Sociohorticulture may sound boring to you, but he makes it super interesting and you actually end up caring about the material. The easiest class I've taken so far as well, as long as you go to class ONCE EVERY WEEK, and do the easy online hw ONCE EVERY WEEK, you'll get an A.
Great professor, really interesting and passionate about what he teaches. Minimal homework and exams are based off questions that were answered from previous quizzes, impossible to get anything below an A if you show up and do the work (which isn't much at all)
super easy A. Gives plants as gifts. Most fun class I have taken in awhile.
This is the easiest 3.0 credit class you'll take. There are weekly "quizzes" and discussions which are so easy. There are lots of giveaway gifts (plants) that he gives to the students. He changes your perspective on plants and really cares about the course. You'll get an A if you do even the most minimal work.
Dr. Hall as a genuinely good guy. Class is easy and tests are online. Only downside is if you're in introvert you won't like it because you've got to chat with your neighbors during every class. Overall easy. Service learning project was annoying but graded easy.
If you show up and put forth effort (even if minimal) you should get an A. There's homework every week, but it is really easy. His lectures are pretty interesting and FREE PLANTS (even though all of mine died). There are two tests and they were both online and I got results within the day both times. Would highly recommend.
This was one of my favorite classes at TAMU. Dr. Hall is really enthusiastic about horticulture which brings the lecture to life. Weekly quizzes and discussion questions but they aren't that bad. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to take it. I have learned so much from this class. Also, only have class one day a week which is a plus.
This was one of my favorite courses at A&M. Hall is an amazing professor, he really cares about his students and wants them to leave his class having learned something. He has a midterm and a final, both online, and only has class once a week. He gives out free plants all the time too which is great.
Dr. Hall was my favorite professor. From getting free plants to high energy lectures from someone who genuinely cares about the content, he will rope you into a very interesting and fun class
Charles Hall is by far the best prof I have had yet. I absolutely love his way of teaching and interacting with his students he cares so much and allows for lots of extra credit (which count for overall grade). No tests, weekly online quizzes and easy discussion posts. One service project which is easy!! PLUS HE GIVES FREE YOU FREE PLANTS!!!
By far the easiest and most fun class I have taken at A&M. The class is easy and only one day a week. All you have to do is make sure you do the weekly quiz and discussion every week and the in-class activity and you are on your way to an A. The Service Learning Project was very do-able and he offers 5 different extra credit opportunities. 10/10
One of my favorite classes that I have taken so far. I had this class on T/TH but we only met on Tuesdays. There were assignments each week but it was a discussion and a quiz over the topic you were learning. He gives out surprise plants every few weeks and give a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Like everyone has said this class is super easy. It's hard not to get an A. Dr. Hall is also a great professor though, so go to class! He makes it enjoyable. There were in-class quizzes for attendance but a lot of people would take them from home.
Dr. Hall is so amazing. This class requires minimal effort but it is actaully very interesting and Dr. Hall makes it super fun. I would take another class from him in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a fun/elective/extra class, take this one!
Please for the love of God, take this class. Minimal effort and I got an A. He even has opportunities for you to get 5 extra credit points added to YOUR FINAL GRADE. You also get free plants!!
Dr. Hall literally makes anything interesting. I took sociohorticulture as an ICD credit, and it does not pertain to my major at all but he made it so interesting and entertaining!!
Dr. Hall is such a great prof! Please take his class! Literally just show up (his lectures are always actually pretty entertaining) and he also gives free plants! He is so funny and really loves what he does. Before leaving TAMU take a class with him. So easy to pass and you barely even have to try. He's just a cool dude.
Show up to class and do your weekly assignments and you will get an A. Go to class because he does in-class activities that can effect your grade if you don't do them.
Dr. Hall is an amazing professor. I took this class for an ICD credit and GPA booster. As long as you do the homework and show up to class (only once a week) you should have no problem passing this class with a B or A. His extra credit is extremely easy and adds on to your final grade. It raised my final grade from an 88 to a 93. Also free plants!
Dr. Hall is amazing. He really engages his students and cares about what he's teaching. This is one of the most interesting classes I've taken and I'm a psych major. Class once a week, midterm and final are open notes and very easy. He gave us 5 points of extra credit opportunities added to our average, I ended with a 102. Extremely easy, TAKE HIM
Great prof. show up to class. He really cares about what he is teaching and is a very interesting class. Should have no problem at all getting an A. Gives out tons of extra credit towards your final grade
Dr. Hall is a stand-up guy who is genuinely excited to teach his students about Sociohorticulture. On the first day of class, he danced to some music and went around greeting students as they walked in. I look forward to going to his class every week, especially since we sometimes get a free plant to take home for coming to class!
This guy is absolutely amazing. Not only one of the easiest classes I have ever taken but I actually wanted to go to class. There is an online quiz and discussion due the next week as preparation for the next lecture. He is so energetic and such a great guy and you can tell he is very enthusiastic about plants all the time and it is great.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TAKE THIS CLASS. YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T. DR. HALL IS A HEAVENLY GIFT DELIVERED FROM THE HANDS OF THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF. DO NOT NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
I loved Dr. Hall! He made his class so much fun and as long as you do the discussions and online quizzes you can easily get an A! He also gives you lots of free plants! His class is awesome!!
Best class ever. Definitely an easy A. You only meet once a week and have easy extra credit opportunities that add to your final grade. There are weekly assignments that are pretty simple and the only tests are the mid term and the final, which are both online. Dr. Hall makes coming to class enjoyable and fun.
Dr. Hall was amazing! His class was so easy and enjoyable! Half the class is online, so you only have to come to class once a week. The free plants he gave us were really cool. It is definitely an easy A and GPA booster for a social science credit or general elective. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to take this class.
Dr. Hall is a great professor. He cares about how his students are doing and enjoys talking with them. This class was a social science elective, but I actually learned more than I expected to know about plants. Not only is the class incredibly easy with all assignments being open book, but you get plants too!
Such a down to earth and caring prof. Knows his class is an easy A but does not care. Plus free plants!
Very caring and funny prof. Class once a week with 30-60 minute online assignments for the other half. The material covered is pretty boring but Dr Hall makes it interactive and fun. Everything is open book. Criteria is clear in the syllabus, his class is everything you'd want in a social science elective. Also, free plants!
This man literally changed my life. I was literally living in the slums of India until Charles Hall pulled me out of the depths of hell and gave me a second chance at life. You will not find a better quality man in the entire world. I dare to say that this man may even be a divine being. He literally lives in a higher plan of existence.
TAKE. THIS. CLASS. Dr. Hall is the sweetest man who just really loves plants. Class is made up of a quiz and weekly discussion due every week, midterm and final, and a service learning project due at the end of the semester (easy). I actually found the class really interesting! Easy A if you literally just do the work.
I took HORT 335 to fulfill a credit that I need to graduate and it was definitely the smart way to go. Dr. Hall has such a passion for what he teaches, it resonates into his lectures and into the students. Easy class, minimal homework, class only meets on Tues (scheduled T/R). Bonus: gives out free plants! Hard to not get an A.
So funny, gives us free plants, and brings his dog to class, LOVE HIM!
If you need a GPA boost, take this class. You can almost do nothing and get an A. Exams are online. Professor Hall sometimes brings his dog Honeybear to class and she's precious. He gives out free plants and lots of extra credit.
Best class ever. Dr. Hall is the best professor I've ever had. This class is insanely easy and if you're willing to go to class (only meets once a week) you're essentially guaranteed an A. He's really passionate about the material and genuinely cares about students. Also you get lots of free plants and he sometimes brings his sweet dog to class.
Professor Hall is an amazing professor and truly cares about the success of his students. Gives out free plants every few weeks (7 in total) to all of his students. Truly cares about his students learning the information and he inspired me to care more about nature and the environment. He is a life changing professor!
LOVE this man! He makes his class interesting, works to help you succeed, and he brings his dog to class some days (shes the cutest thing so obviously we looked forward to seeing her)! He gives out free plants and usually makes up extra credit to go with them!
HIGHLY recommend. It's a T/TH class but only meets on tuesdays and everything else is online. Very easy and actually interesting. He brings his precious pup to class too. Multiple extra credit chances, only 1 weekly quiz, mid term & final test, and 1 project. If you look over the material he gives you'll do fine on work. Also gives free plants.
Two steps: 1. Go to Class 2. Make an A. -- Dr. Hall is an awesome guy and he really cares about making HORT 335 interesting. The class shows as a two day but you only meet in person one day each week. I highly recommend this class to anyone who needs a GPA boost or just a boost in happiness. :-)
He's a super nice and funny professor. We had a quiz every week and then one project (all easy). He gives away free plants!
Super easy class. Grades consist of a a midterm, final, a project, weekly quizzes, and tons of extra credit. I put minimal effort into this class and ended up with a 99. He even brings his dog to class and plays music. Take this class!
You really don't have to show up, you just have to complete online modules and complete quizzes every week. There are two tests that are 50% of your grade, but they are open note and you can use online resources. You get free plants, and it's overall an easy A.
TAKE THIS CLASS he gives you so many extra credit opportunities plays music fist bumps BRINGS HIS SWEET DOG gives out free plants! YES YES YES
Dr. Hall is the most amazing prof you could take. He gives you free plants, brings his dog to class, and makes it impossible to fail his class. The only way you can fail is if you don't do the work, and I would be surprised if you did all of the work and made a B. I 100% recommend. It is not only educational but so fun!
Amazon professor ever.
This man is an angel. Sometimes you get to see his dog who is also an angel. He genuinely enjoys what he's teaching, he's a brilliant man who has written several papers on the subjects he's teaching, but he doesn't teach in a boring, "read it off the slide" style. Honestly the best teacher I've ever had. I wish he taught another class I could take.
This professor is the sweetest human I have ever met. He truly is inspirational. Extra credit and easy weekly quizzes.
take this man...... thats it. do it
Dr. Hall is an amazing person who cares deeply about the subject and his students. There is a really easy short quiz each week with unlimited time, 2 tests with a 3 hour time limit, and a project. If you do the work, you should get an A. There are extra credit opportunities, he brings his dog to class, and he gives you free plants! 11/10 class!
One of the best professors at A&M! He makes class go by fast and is hilarious. No textbook required just do what he tells you to do and you will get an A! Also you get like 5 free plants! Would definitely take him again!
Absolutely loved this class!
The best professor I will ever have! Seriously take this class you will not regret it. He plays music with plant titles at the beginning of class and you can tell he truly loves what he does.
Fantastic person who is genuinely interesting to listen to, gives out free plants, and LOVES his job. Quiz each week which is very easy, a midterm and final, a service learning project, and tons of extra credit. He is very caring and wants the best for his students.
Dr. Hall is the best prof ever, if you need a science credit PLEASE take this class it's one quiz a week and he gives you free plants!!! And the midterm and final are straight from the modules, super easy!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Dr. Hall is such a good prof. He truly cares about his students and sociohoritculture. This is a super easy class to get an A in. I went to only a handful of lectures and got an 97 in the class.
TAKE THIS CLASS!! He is the best professor and responds pretty instantly to emails. this is a super easy and simple class. He makes learning about plants fun, and genuinely makes you want to start a whole garden. He is so nice, and gives you free plants.
Dr. Halls enthusiasm for what he does is infectious. I love this class. The material is interesting and easy to understand. He loves teaching and helping his students. He generously provides multiple extra credit opportunities and even gives away free plants. Take this class for insights into the power of plants and a truly fun experience.
Dr. Hall is probably the first professor at A&M that I really enjoyed to have, and I'm willing to have him again! I love his personality , his sense of humor, and the way he had fun with his students. He's the best! Learning about plants and the meaning of sociohorticulture was fun and entertaining with Dr. Hall. And he gives away free plants :)
Seriously the best. Super passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, very fun and engaging. His was the only class I looked forward to every week. There is a LOT of reading for the class, but it's not unmanageable. Gave us free plants and was super understanding. He let me retake the midterm because I was SUPER sick the day I took it. 10/10
Super passionate about the subject and really awesome. I didn't go to class after the third week and just did the weekly quizzes and the two exams (all on quizlet). Wish I would've gone to more lectures cause he really is awesome.
I saw attendance was not mandatory but go to class and you will get a bonus most of the time, great professor total worth taking if you need the credit.
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!
Just take him and you won't regret it. The easiest class I've taken at A&M, and Dr. Hall is one of the nicest people I've ever met. He's awesome!
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.
Dr. Hall is awesome! Take this class.
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!
Dr. Halls socio horticulture class was my favorite class I have taken. It was a very easy class content wise and he gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. It is a really good class to take for your social science class that will also be a huge GPA boost, I would highly recommend.
Dr. Hall was amazing! I recommend everyone take this class with him!
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.
Dr. Hall was so sweet and a great prof. Attendance was not required, but you definitely get brownie points for going as well as pivotal information that was on the final. He gives out high quality free plants which was so nice!! I loved this class and learned a lot.
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
Mr. Hall is AMAZING!!! Attendance isn't mandatory so almost no one goes to class but I highly recommend going! His class is beyond engaging and he is such a caring teacher and an even better human. Mr. Hall always knew how to make our days and he is a true treasure of a professor.
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
Easy A class if you pay attention and do the work. 2 service learning projects, midterm and final exam. Extra credit is super easy and is 3 points added to your & grade. You even get to pick up 3 plants to keep and take care of! Such a great professor and great class
Take this class if you want an easy A! He makes sure that everyone gets an A. Awesome guy!!
Great professor! Only asked you to come to class once a week and lectures covered material for the midterm and final exams. Only 4 assignments and 3 extra credit opportunities. Also gave out free plants throughout the year. Graded fairly and tests easy. Extremely easy class and I highly recommend it for an easy A.
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.
Dr. Hall is a great professor and overall human. He is genuine and gives good life advice. The class was relatively easy. Just make sure you read the articles he gives and show up to lecture and you will be fine. Would take this professor again given the chance. Oh, and free plants!
I loved this professor! He is so sweet and great to work with. His class is interesting and not hard at all. You have three extra credit assignments: one is to take a photo with a plant! You have two projects and a midterm and final. That's it! The midterm and final are open notes; you get three hours to take them!
Dr. Hall is one of the best professors I have ever had in my four years at this university. He is funny and makes sure you are interested in what he is saying. He makes 8 AM fun, and his jokes are hilarious. I highly recommend taking him if you want to learn but also have a good time. He knows what he is teaching, and enjoys it, and it's apparent.
Seriously, can't say enough good things about him. His class is super fun, gives out free plants, and makes it very interesting, tests are not proctored! One of the best professors I have had. TAKE THIS CLASS!!! Gives out 3 really fun extra credits that REALLY help your final grade. I loved having him!
One of the easiest and most interesting courses I've taken at A&M! Dr. Hall is an amazing lecturer and wants for people to not only succeed but carry course material into the real world. He provides three EC assignments and there are only two exams (midterm and final). I would highly recommend taking this course. P.S. he also offers free plants!
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
Two papers that are due end of the semester. You don't have to show up to class. Exams are open note but are hard since you have to choose multiple answers for one question. He's very caring. The two assignments at the end are not hard just don't lie on learning project. Gives extra credit that are easy so do them!
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.
Dr. Hall is amazing and if you have the chance to take his class DO IT!!!!! It is very interesting to learn and definitely a cool perspective.
Took this class as an elective and went to class once, made an A. I am not an ag student but if I was I would take him again!
Great professor. Makes learning fun and makes it easy to learn. Would definitely take his class again.
Super easy class. I did not go to class at all and still ended with an A. He gives free plants and isn't tough at all!
Class consists of two online exams(not proctored) and a group project. Easiest class you could ever take. Prof even brags about his ratemyprof score and that his exams are on quizlett. Only had to go to class once a week. brings free plants for you. never paid attention and got an A+. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
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. Prof is kind and gives out free plants!
Hands down the most generous and best professor I've had.
