Professor Hunt was one of the worst professors I've had at Grand Valley. She is very nice, but her lectures are confusing, information given is not what was on the test. I was very frustrated and she didn't help me very much when I asked for clarification. She acted like she didn't care. I would be her friend, but hated being her student.

Professor Hunt is a nice lady but for an environmental science class she made it 10 Times hader than it needed to be. Her tests are very hard. You don't have a text book but she posts readings in black board that you have to read carefully and spend a lot of time on the reading guide. Her tests are 80% of the readings! Frustrating and Hard!

The nice grace given is a "cheat sheet" for the exam but it is graded heavily. Exams are very difficult with her wording, make sure you read the textbook!
