CollegeProffesor Hom is truly an incredible professor who cares so deeply for her students and will go above and beyond to ensure that we are on the right track to success in her class. I have taken three classes with Professor Hom, and I hope to take more. Her lectures are so engaging and insightful, and she gives us many opportunities to be creative!
Great lecturer and an easy class. The only problem with the class was that I could not complete a quiz that was 10% of my grade and I went from an A in the class to a B. Overall a great class and I learned a lot. Professor Hom was great.
Two quizzes, a menu project, and one midterm (allowed a paper of notes). Easy upper-div elective. Attend lectures and take good notes as most questions she directly states the answer to. Can't review slideshows as they have very little to no info. TA grades pretty harshly. Professor Hom corrected their grading. She wants u to succeed. Great class!
Quizez, lecture, and readings are easy and enjoyable. She is a good professor, is organized, and replies to questions quickly. I highly recommend it for Upper-Div electives.
She's a very nice person who cares a lot about her students. Her classes are easy to learn because she makes her lectures so engaging. I don't usually leave ratings about professors, but I find it worth it in this case because of how well she does her job!
Very easy class.
