Super nice guy, the tests are a little challenging but they aren't impossible you just need to study. Really nice and makes study sessions before all the tests. Really cares about his students and helps you get your grade up if you need it.

I Had Prof Hokanson for orientation. He made the class really interesting and informative without a lot of student work involved. I can't wait to take one of his MassComm classes next year. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Just don't go on facebook in his class and you will be on his good side.

He is by far one of the most caring professors out there! If you have any questions on the class or on life he is always willing to make time for you. Always take up his offers to get coffee!

He was an okay instructor. Not making a deadline for a news article was not negotiable. You can get a good grade in writing articles and fail the course due to A & P quizzes. A & P articles use obscure terms.

Comment:

Drake is a good guy. He has many experiences to relay to the student and is intelligent. However, in this course he never gave us direction on how to improve our photos. His grading is quite biased and no matter what most kids had a tough time getting over a C. Favorites were played and I recommend taking another instructor for Vis. Comm.
