Hogan's descriptive, encourages questions, and is pretty clear in terms of what she's looking for regarding midterms. She has a bit of a superiority complex but is willing to help you out if you ask. She actively attempts to learn names and recognizes faces. Go to her class, ask questions and study. Not a hard course if you prepare. Go for candy!

She is amazing, my favourite prof so far. Her teaching is so refreshing! She encourages participation (by giving out candy), her midterms are fair and she is very open to helping students. A little intimidating at first, but you soon get to learn about her experience as a nurse and researcher. She really know her stuff! Highly recommended!!

The prof is very fair. Her assignments/midterm reflected what was taught. No trick questions. She is nice and tried to engage people in discussion by giving out candy. One thing I don't like is that if she asks a question and no one knows the answer, she doesn't address it and just moves on!

There is no one more condensing than Hogan; very difficult to talk to. Found her lectures extremely painful to sit through as she expects students to participate at all times, and when we don't she skips over the information she was asking us about as some sort of punishment. Gives us incomplete slides, doesn't even know what's in the textbook..

She isn't the nicest. Attend her lectures, the textbook is useless. The midterms don't relate too much to the slides, in depth. It's mainly 80% easy questions and 20% are meant to trick you to lower the class average. Read her questions carefully as there are often tricks in them.

Horrible. I don't know why she even teaches classes if she's a full time nurse. She misses her own classes for her other job, she doesn't make sense, etc. Her exams are average but honestly it is like talking to a wall. You never get responses to your emails, even after months. There is so much more but not enough space to complain on this :(

I don't know who she thinks she is, because she acts like everyone owes her something. She tries to lecture me on indigenous matter when I AM LITERALLY ALGONQUIN. She claims she lived on a reservation, almost like a flex; it's weird and discriminatory. She just throws it out there at random moments. I never cringed so hard at a prof.

Every lecture was a comedy special I didn't sign up for. She ignores emails, drops assignments whenever the spirit moves her, panics through slides she hasn't reviewed, and somehow manages to block every diagram on the board. Entertaining? Yes. Educational? No. At some point, I genuinely considered throwing my notebook and quitting.

If a student has a question, she either doesn't have an answer for them or comes across as rude and condescending. The course was extremely disorganized and a constant challenge to try and keep up with what was required each week with work and the content. You should attend the lectures, she does give a lot of questions that are on upcoming exams.

I've taken this prof 2 times now and nothing has improved. An online class and an in person class. The online class was the worst class I've ever taken. Content was constantly posted weeks late, and emails often went unanswered. The midterm review for the online class was posted day of the midterm. I would avoid this prof at all costs necessary.

most unorganized and disrespectful prof. at first, she seems super kind until you get into the course and she gives no direction with studying and has no clue about anything thats going on. she is rude to students who have questions and doesn't reply to emails (even since the start of the semester!!) wont tell you what's on the final either.

Lots of homework

Please do not take any classes with this prof. She is really inconsiderate if you have a medical note. Most of the homework doesn't make sense or that it is poorly explained. Doesn't answer her emails. Her availability or what is considered her “office hours” is right after class or during class. After that, everything is up to you to find out.

Save your self from unnecessary stress. this professor is horrible. supperrrrr horible. what ever you do NOT take her. This class is suppose to be a simple A but she made it super hard. her slide shows are awful. over 100 slides just to explain a simple concept. She is also really rude when you reach out to her for help. Exam was a guessing game.

Don't take her if you have any other choice. She is mean, unorganized, arrogant, and completely unprofessional. I learned NOTHING from her. I had to teach myself the entire course. I seriously don't know why UO hired her. This class was a complete waste of time and money.

DO NOT TAKE HER. She is rude, unorganized, and unwilling to help students. Only answers text messages, then gets mad, so unprofessional. it is diabolical that we are expected to pay for a class with her teaching. She didn't know how to upload an exam & cried in class, reciting the lyrics to bad day, scheduled a zoom and then didn't even show up...

Literally what the heck is this class. Worst prof I've ever had. Bright space was very unorganized and midterm/final was a guessing game. Basically didn't know what to take notes on because the slides were so bad. Group project is vague and graded harshly. Almost missed the final on zoom because she only mentioned it once on a random announcement.

Escape before it's too late! For sure the worst prof I've ever hard. She thinks it's a flex to not respond to her email. Her lectures are not good, she explains in a way where she's acting like we already learnt this content. Everything needs to be self taught. She can be very rude and condescending.

I would rather get hit by a car then take this class again..... The content was very straightforward but Kerry Anne made it so confusing. Her slides are so unclear/disorganized and she refuses to respond to emails. Her heart is in the right place but she has a chaotic teaching style.

She treats class like a side hustle, adds audio to slides and sounds half asleep. Unclear instructions for assignment, and dont count on TAs for help cuz they dk whats going on either. Exams are a joke with ambiguous qs, making it impossible to do well. I will be retaking this class with another prof. JUST DROP HER, save ur GPA
