Her lectures were absolutely amazing. She was always really into the topic she was covering and it was great to learn from her. If you have a chance to have her as a prof, you won't regret it!!!

Awesome class! She knows her stuff and teaches it very well! She tells lots of stories and makes lots of jokes! Her tests are all multiple choice and true and false, if you read and memorize the lecture manual you'll do great! Not very challenging if you attend the class

This is for her "Evolution of the Vertebrates". AWSOME CLASS. She is so passionate about her class where time flies by and all you want is more. The LAB is interesting with both practical and academic properties. You make a dinosaur (T-REX) out of chicken bones!!!

Comment:

Dr. Hughes is an awesome prof, as long as you make a point to understand everything the exams shouldnt be tough. I am personally not a fan of the way the labs are examed on clock, but other then that her complete lecture and info is available at the bookstore, and totally worth it.

Class notes were available at the bookstore, which we bought. Very helpful. Exams were easy and taken straight from those notes. Very humourous. Good visuals which aided learning. Made class very enjoyable.

Great Prof! I enjoyed her lectures, and she makes things easy to follow and understand! The material isn't incredibly easy, but if you work at it you will get a good mark.

Comment:

spends too much time ranting on about her own opinions - a first year prof should present some sort of neutrality. Also, she doesn't return her phone calls, and good luck tracking her down.

Comment:

I thought I was in University...guess I was wrong. A wonderful person, but not university level teaching. Don't waste your time in class, study the notes (know them), then forget them. About as mickey mouse as it can get.

am I in grade 4?b/c I was pretty sure I was in University. Clarity not an issue because I could have learned this material when I was primary school. Why the department allows her to teach University classes at such an mickey mouse level is unbelievab
