Hopgood is an excellent professor; I definitely will be taking her classes again if possible. She treats the lecture like a classroom, walking around to help you with your in class problems on your computer. She talks really fast, but will help you in and outside of class if you need it. She doesn't normally post her slides online, so go to class!

Professor Hopgood gives you multiple ways to try and understand the material. I didn't use my textbook ONCE. You use TopHat, which is online slides and interactive problems everyday in class, and it's kinda fast paced but just make sure you understand. Also, the TA's usually grade tests wrong, so you can get points back if you try.

She is an amazing person if you get to know her. She does go very fast through lecture but she is ALWAYS available for office hours and she will take as much time as needed to go through problems with you. I never used the book once, but you have to buy it for the online homework.

Professor Hopgood is a caring person and I really enjoyed her class. She is very lecture heavy but if you pay attention in class you WILL succeed. The TopHat questions helped me enormously because it made you practice the material everyday. She is always available for office hours and helps you until you understand the material.

Dr. Hopgood is a new teacher, and with that comes a need to be patient with her. She's a really awesome person. Lecture is fast-paced, but if you put in effort you will succeed. I used the textbook for practice problems, but didn't read it at all. You just need the access code for Cengage for the homework. Great teacher, hard subject.

Look. It's O-Chem. It's HARD, no matter who you take it with. Anyone complaining about Dr. Hopgood though has obviously never taken Arthasery. Hopgood nurtured an environment that encouraged discussion and questions. Her grading was very fair and she worked hard to give partial points when deserved. Definitely take her over any other OUO-Chem prof.

Best Chem prof I have ever had

It's organic chemistry, so it's a tough class. Hopgood tries her best to explain and give you practice problems. You have to study in this class! The teacher can only prepare you so much, you have to do practice problems on your own and figure out the information yourself. You aren't just going to get everything.

I started the semester getting a D on the first exam and ended the third exam with an A because of her! She is so helpful if you actually utilize her office hours and take the time to email her. She is a very nice person who really wants you to do well.

Although she doesnt grade attendance it is in your best interest to go as there are top hat questions throughout class that are mostly participation. I personally havent opened the book the entire semester. Its a hard class and lecture goes very very fast, but if you make an effort to meet with her outside of class, she will truly try and help.

Good professor. The class is challenging, but she provides many opportunities to learn the material outside of class.

For a lecture class, she did a pretty good job. I don't think I opened the book once. She seems genuinely interested in and passionate about the subject.

Dr. Hopgood is one of my favorite professors! It is clear she is very passionate about chemistry, and she also has a great sense of humor, so her lectures are never very boring. She offers a lot of resources to help prepare for each test too.

Professor Hopgood is the best Chemistry teacher Ive had. Yes, you have to show up and pay attention, but thats the whole point of going to college and taking the class. She posts Tophat questions as we go through the lecture to help us understand the material, and it really helps Great personality, super friendly, and obviously loves teaching.

Really inspirational professor. Cares about her students, go to class because the practice problems and some of her explanations are important. It's chem so it's going to hard. She's super helpful at office hours, SI was great.

She is a great professor. Tough and moves really fast. If you do not put time into the class do not expect to get great grades. Be prepared BEFORE you go to class. Read ahead and take notes before (seriously !!) She wants the best for the class. Does not curve exams, but drops lowest homework & quiz grade. The final actually boosts your grade!

She goes through material quickly but very easy to get a hold of outside of class if you have questions.

Dr. Hopgood was one of the best professors I have had by far! Despite the material being VERY complex/fast-paced, she taught in a way that would generalize the most important concepts. It is also crucial to take notes BEFORE class starts. Do not take this class for granted. Also it is important to do ALL of the ALEKS and Connect assignments.

I really enjoyed Dr. Hopgood in class. She adds fun to lectures and is so precious lol. I took chem and AP chem in HS which really helped, but OChem and BioChem were all new to me and she really goes above and beyond to teach so much material in such little time. Put work on tests and you can get partial credit. She also gives practice work/exams!

She made this class so easy. I would read the chaps & do notes beforehand & would not understand the content, then go to the lecture & everything would just click. She used amazing metaphors for everything & was fun to listen to. There is a lot of homework & u NEED the points. BUT the homework isn't just to keep u busy, it is very helpful.

For sure, the best chemistry teacher and my favorite professor. I took upper level chemistry in HS but it never clicked until Hopgood taught me. Class takes a lot of effort though, I practically lived in her office. Super helpful, caring, and extremely nice. Somehow takes difficult subjects and simplifies them into kindergarten level things.

TAKE THIS CLASS-- I had the worst chem teacher in highschool and went in knowing literally nothing but she is sooooo helpful!!! there is a lot of work but she gives extra credit for some things and drops the lowest grades of each category at the end of the semester. I absolutely lover her!!

Organic chemistry is tough and there's no easy way to learn this material. The new reversed classroom was definitely challenging, but you get out what you put in. Take time to understand the mechanisms and ask questions. She seems intimidating but she's just a very smart woman and friendly. The course gets very hard to follow about 2/3 though!

her class is rough if you're unmotivated to do anything outside of class and need your hand held. you take notes outside of class and practice with her there, and she is super nice once you talk to her. she explains things in simple terms that make sense.

The final is easy(ish) and will bring your grade up many percents.

Dr. Hopgood is a lovely person, but not great of a professor. This class is very difficult, definitely go to office hours and SI sessions, you HAVE to put in the work or you will fail. She doesn't teach during the class, just gives practice problems (for points) so you have to watch the lecture videos out of class and teach yourself the material.

Dr. Hopgood is one of the few chemistry profs I would 1000% go to again if I needed to take another course. She does flipped style learning, all lectures are homework to do before the class and then she runs through example problems on tophat. This works so well because chemistry is ALL application and little memorization / note heavy.

Hard class but taught well, almost impossible to fail if you do all the work.

The class is set up like a flipped classroom, which understandably is unfavorable for many students. However, if you learn well through teaching yourself, this class setup will work well for you. She is very accessible outside of class, and I would highly recommend attending office hours. Prepare to spend a lot of time studying outside of class.

I would say she knows what she is teaching and like the pedagogical methods where you learn my doing this chemistry focus so expect to do lot of work by yourself and plus she is beautiful and smart lol remind me of Jessica Chastain,

If you're in the nursing program and have her for chemistry don't stress out. Her class is homework heavy so just DO YOUR ALEKS. Skipping and falling behind on ALEKS is the #1 reason people fail. Take notes on her videos BEFORE class. As long as you stay on top of your assignments and don't slack off the class is really enjoyable. I LOVED Hopgood.

This course is hard, however Dr. Hopgood is a great professor. The practice exams are just like the actual ones and she has very open office hours and is willing to help. You will get what you put into this course.

Overall, she was an amazing professor. Her class style is a "reversed" classroom, so all the learning is on you, and she just helps you practice. This is a great set up for chem, and she's super helpful. She gives great feedback, is encouraging, approachable, and accessible.

She is an amazing professor, what you get out of this class is what you put in! She is so helpful during office hours and I was able to make a great connection with her. Her out of class work is a lot but is crucial to get buffer points to make it easier to pass. She gets a bad rep because of her class but it is not her choice what she teaches.

Dr.Hopgood made this class managable. She has a "flipped" class where all lecture videos are assigned out of class. I was scared of this originally, but couldn't imagine it any other way now. Go to PAL sessions, her office hours, do her practice exams, do the ALEKS. Don't lose points on easy things! Hopgood gets a bad rep but its just a hard class!

While it is a very difficult and content heavy course Professor Hopgood creates a space where you can succeed if you put in effort inside and outside of the classroom! Her classroom it set up flipped so lectures are expected to be watched prior to attending class, and examples are worked through during class!

Dr. Hopgood's class is very tough but very doable. She gives you numerous resources to help you pass, the best being partial credit on exams. Do not skip class, it's the only way you actually learn the material. Go to PAL and office hours, do your aleks and watch your lectures and you won't get lower than a B. She's super nice too!!

Hopgood used a flipped classroom teaching style for this class. She put so much effort into the course and you can see that from a few clicks on canvas. She provides you with so many resources. She is very approachable and knowledgeable. If you put the effort into this class and utilize all her resources, you are set up for success.

A lot of people give Dr. Hopgood a hard time because chemistry is a difficult course but if you put in the work you will be fine. Don't even think about getting behind on ALEKS!! She is super kind and accessible outside of class and won't stop until you understand something... IF YOU take accountability and ask for help when you need it. Good luck!

This was a hard class. I had to get a tutor and everything. I watched countless vidoes on youtube to learn the materal. She does have a lot of resourses and PP but the way l learn they weren't help for me. She is very nice and she response to emails with a lot of helpful information and kindness. DO THE WORK AND DONT GET BEHIND.

You have to stay on top of everything for this class, there is so much to do. I enjoy how she explains problems and provides various resources. Not a huge fan of how much homework there is, but overall a good class and good professor. She knows her stuff for sure.

She's super smart and as long as you stay on top of the homework and go to PAL you'll pass. Final is a huge grade boost. She awesome and super helpful too!!

She does have Top Hats for attendance, but you do not have to be there. I personally enjoyed having her as a professor, but you HAVE to go to lecture regularly to receive a good grade, I swear that is the only reason I was successful in this course. There is A LOT of material, but if you keep up it is not too bad.
