Comment:
Tough class, but fair grading if you work for it. Lectures can be boring but Professor Hooks makes the material straightforward and it is easy to take notes during class and from the textbook. Good class for non-econ majors who are interested in the banking world.

Comment:
If you aren't a morning person, avoid her macroecon section at 830. Her lectures are dull but she knows her stuff. She is probably too smart for her own good (used to work for the Fed). If you ask questions in class it will help everything. You and your class will get more out of the class and she will really like you.

Comment:
Super boring lecturer, although admittedly this was an 8.30 AM. Not a fan of her lecturing style, or her tests; every once in a while you would come across a multiple choice question that had either no correct answers or two. Overall, still better than the professor my roommate had...

Comment:
I wouldn't recommend professor hooks to my worst enemy. NEVER is in her office when she says she is, and is so slow at responding to emails that the question is usually irrelevant by the time she gets around to it. Assumes you know what's going on without her having to explain it. Just awful.

Very predictable but boring. Decent lecturer but not very interesting. She's clearly brilliant and I've heard her higher level classes are more engaging

Comment:
very straightforward class. tests were not totally fair but the grading is structured so that it's very hard to get above an A- or below a C+. very useful class for finance and business/accounting as well as econ

Comment:
She's a good prof. during class. Puts the important notes on the board and makes it relatively simple and easy. The tests however, are pretty difficult. Expect to get fair tests, but to be graded as difficultly as anyone has graded you before. You may walk in with full knowledge of the study guide and still manage a C. Hooks IS awesome though

One of the nicest professors at W&L. Loves the school and its students, works very hard to make sure that you come away from the class having learned interesting materiel. Tests can be a little difficult and it's not the easiest class to earn a good grade in but she's very fair. Highly reccommended

Phenomenal teacher. If you're interested in finance then you definitely need to take Money and Banking with her. The couse is sort of hard but everything you need to know for tests will be covered in class - no surprises. Holds lots of office hours. Very nice, personable, and eager to help. Also, I've heard from others that she's a great advisor.

I took Money and Banking with her. Her tests are somewhat difficult but fair. Class is fairly interesting but she is a bit dull. Lots of really long awkward silences whenever she asks a question.

Professor Hooks is great! She goes out of her way to be helpful, although she is not an easy professor. She definitely challenges you, but I learned more in that class than in any other class I can remember...
