I'm taking her Fed Gov class now and it's really easy if you pay attention. Limited amount of homework that all comes from the eBook. She does have occasional in class assignments and if you don't show up then you get a 0. She does not accept late work but you have plenty of time to do everything for the class. Tests are straight from the lecture.

She is fantastic. Probably the best government teacher on campus. At least 2 homework assignments each week but overall an easy grader and lets you know exactly what to study for the test. Lots of opportunities for extra credit and very passionate about government and is very entertaining!!

I not not applaud Professor Smith any more regarding her teaching ability, assignments, and overall demeanor. It is obvious that she gives a damn about what she is teaching which is always a pleasure to see. Her assignments were so straightforward- no gimmicks. The assignments were challenging but they made sense! Great lectures!

Amazing Fed + Tex gov Teacher. Really knows what she's doing and takes care of you as long as you study! She maintained an amazing presence and didn't bore me a second. If you're looking for your federal + texas gov teacher, then this is your lady. She's the best gov teacher ever + the extra credit is hard to turn down. 10/10.

New her stuff, seems very passionate about the sub. Great professor. She was very good at communicating any and all information that would show up on a test later. Very direct, never allowed the class to take control. She limited students comments during her lectures. Her clicker question provided a little fun at the beginning and end of her class.

Absolutely a fantastic professor. Hands down one of the best, I am so glad I took Professor Hooper's class. She makes Texas government (which varies from Federal Govt A LOT), a very easy to understand concept. Her lectures are funny and engaging and if you have problems outside of class she will honestly work with you. Extremely caring & passionate

She has a negative attitude. If you answer questions incorrectly, she will make you feel bad. She mentions something once in her lecture and expects you to remember it til test day. She doesn't give material to study for tests except for the lectures. I feel that she needs to work on her teaching skills instead of blaming students for not grasping.

This professor is one of the best at NCTC. She cares about the subject, she cares about the student, and she cares about the school. She expects college-level work, but she doesn't make anything impossible. All of her assignments are extremely-well laid out for you in detail. Her exams are just like the Power-points. I wish she taught every subject

Professor Hooper/Smith knows what she is talking about. She can answer almost any question you could have. She gives you everything you will need to pass, you just have to show up and apply yourself.

I had to take her online due to covid and she was not clear on what she wanted foe assignments and then would leave rude comments when you did something wrong. She didn't give a lot of work so that was nice but I felt like she was trying to find any and everything wrong with the work you do. She acts like she is an English teacher grades grammar.

I am an A+ student, and I have never experienced someone who grades like her. It never makes sense. I rarely give bad reviews, but she deducts points on the assignments from the smallest typos to the smallest information left out. This prevents me from wanting to learn actual government because she expects you to know the most useless information.
