very nice guy. he had a good sense of humor and joked about the fact that none of us were actually interested in plants. his test for the midterm and final were relatively easy. just a lot of memorization for all sections of the class. i would definately like to take another class from him. oh and he takes A LOT out of the text book so read!

not a hard class, its plain memorization...his quizzes are like his tests and he recycles questions.

Ive never seen a man so interested in plants as much as Hodges,it's really cute.The way he presents himself during lecture is quite feminine.Hes a pretty good teacher, even though the material was really boring but at least it was Finkelstein!His tests arent that bad but make sure u know the specific dates and time period of when each plant evolved

I hate plants and never liked them, but Hodges made it alot easier to understand them. Although he throws a lot of material on his lecture slide, it is not hard to follow along if you do the readings before hand. Overall, he made the class exciting and a learning experience for me. He is defintely one of the better bio professors I've had.

He seems like a good teacher when the class starts and his lectures are fairly interesting; his tests, on the other hand, have nothing to do with anything that he teaches. I never missed a lecture or CLAS tutorial, I did the assigned reading / studied lecture slides, etc., and his test was absurd and NOTHING like what you would expect.

Makes genetics fun! Provides good examples to exemplify the concepts and is smart enough to answer any question thrown at him in lecture. Tests are fair and easy if you DO THE PROBLEMS! Very willing to help out students and is not intimidating to approach. He also uses the chalkboard...very old school.

He's interesting and nice, but the material is just hard, which is why the tests are sooo difficult. He's very clear when he speaks.
