I had her online. She's super nice and wants you to do well in the course. Responds to emails pretty quick. Posts reading guides and notes on the main things you should know for each chapter. Graded on exams, quizzes, and maybe a hw or two. Exams tend to be very book based & can be pretty tough, but not always. Also, offers some extra credit!

Overall Jodee is a nice person, but rambles a lot during lectures. Quizzes every week, 4 exams through out the year, no homework. She is not very good at communicating when quizzes and exams will be during the week and usually throws them out there whenever. Personally would not take her again.

Dr. Hunt is an amazing prof. She cares about her students succeeding and she is the sweetest person! However, she gives no homework. She only gives exams and quizzes every week. There definitely is not a cushion for your grade. You need to pay in lecture and take notes to do well in this class. A lot of effort required, but worth it!

I have taken a class with Dr. Hunt before and I loved her, but online format is not for her. If you can avoid taking an online class with her, DO IT! She posts way too much material and expects us to do it all within a week so she can post another quiz or exam for us to take. She does not answer emails and decided to do zooms at very random times

Taking this course online with her was a nightmare. She never actually lectured, she didn't answer questions/emails, & she refused to record the random zoom sessions that she just began offering mid-semester. She posts very complex quizzes every week at a different day/time, & that's all that's in the gradebook. Do not recommend.

I took Prof. Hunt hoping that she would be incredible based on her reviews here. I was so so wrong. She is unable to teach through the online format. She ignores emails, teaches the class on a "read the book" basis, and posts quizzes and exams whenever she feels like it, with little to no notice and short time frames. Do not take her online.

RUN. I had a 4.0 before this class. She does not/will not teach the material. It's entirely up to your ability to read the text book and pray to god you understand it well enough to answer her incredibly specific, confusing quiz/exam questions. Didn't even get a zoom lecture until weeks into the course. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Do not take!!

Very enthusiastic. Go to class and take notes and then make sure you take HEAVY notes on the reading assignments. The exams lean more toward the info in the book, which she barely talks about in class, but also has questions from things she mentions in class. I turned in an exam late (online) and emailed her and she gave me full credit. Very nice

Comment:

This professor did the bare minimum with teaching this class. No lecture videos and barely any powerpoints/notes to supplement the reading guides she gives. Exams are way harder than what they need to be. Ignored many students emails when asking for help with the course when a majority of students are struggling in the class.

She does not post any PowerPoints or lecture recordings. She has tests and quizzes weekly. The due date for the tests and quizzes are random and she never post them the same day of the week. They are also not open for the same time. She sent an email saying the exam was going to be due on Wednesday and closed it early. She does not respond to email

You teach yourself, gave stupid excuses why she can't teach via recordings. Gives you reading guides that are over 20+ pages when completed. Materials given last minute, no communication or timeline. Tests are super specific and confusing. Late or no response to emails. Disorganized, lazy. Don't ask about your grade, she'll just say it's fine.

I would agree sometimes there is stuff on the tests/quizzes that she does not mention in class that is in the book (probably) so just make sure you read the book using the reading guides that she posts on Bb.

She gets off track sometimes when lecturing to tell a story about the topic were talking about but it doesnt get annoying it keeps you interested. Love her, I recommend her for any BIO class you have to take. So passionate about what shes teaching.

She is seriously the sweetest soul and cares SO much about her students. I had her for lecture traditional but all tests and quizzes were online because of covid and she made them multiple choice all open book and open note. She is always willing to help. Tries to actually make lectures and lab fun. She writes notes on the board while lecturing

Comment:

Hunt's lectures for this course were unorganized, difficult to follow, and had no visual supplementation (stay away if you are a visual learner, she just lectures). She assigns an extensive amount of reading outside of class, yet doesn't elaborate on the reading assignments during lecture. Whole grade is based on 2 exams, good luck.

She really cares about her students and has a very open lecture and takes any questions that people have and do her best to answer them. Her tests are tough but you get a two sided cheat sheet for each test and can use them all on the final. Her lectures can kind of be all over the place, has no power point slides and hard to follow at times.

I love prof Hunt. She is super fun, & makes lecture really easy to understand. She really cares about her students & makes sure that everyone understands what is going on in lecture. There is a lot of reading out of the book. She allowed cheatsheets on the exams which was awesome because there are so many term. I would definitely take her again

Prof. Hunt always got distracted by her own stories. She was disorganized and it was a bad experience overall. She lost my first exam and didn't tell me until our last exam was handed back. She told me she would take care of it but didn't and my grade suffered. Her exams were easy though because she let you use cheat sheets.

Sit in the front of the class and act like a try-hard if you want an A. Exams are all essay-based, so she grades based on what she thinks is "detailed enough." I aced physics II but not "evolution of social behavior" what a joke loll. Don't take if you're tryna go to grad school bc she will ruin your GPA

Took Dr. Hunt for BIO120 and shes the best prof ever. She really cares for the student, more than any prof I've ever had. I liked her so much I made her my advisor. Shes here to help students and will meet with you. The class is 3 tests and a final and 4 online quizzes and that's it. read the book and start your cheat sheet a week before the exam.
