Comment:

Class consists of notes and then a test. If you read the corresponding chapters and understand every diagram in the book you will do fine. His notes are difficult to understand but if you read the book it will all make sense. I got A's on mostly every test, but you have to read the chapters.

Hoover's test are ridiculous... even with studying they are near impossible. If people don't show for class he tends to give a pop quiz so i recommend showing up. I don't recommended him.

Comment:

Dr. Hoover is really rough. The material seems pretty easy but his quizzes and tests are ridiculous. He's too smart for his own good and thinks everyone else is on the same level as he is.

Comment:

This guy has to be on something every class. He is crazy, but definately catches your attention with it. Gives packets with fill in the blanks for notes. Tests are difficult, but if you study the notes you will be fine. DONT BUY THE BOOK! You dont use it at all.

What an adorable and crazy man. He's a walking encyclopedia of Biology! Don't bother buying the book, but just make sure you study the packets in and out!

Such a funny teacher and knows his stuff. The hardness of the course comes with the information you need to know and not his teaching.

Comment:

Can be a bit tricky. Some tests were super easy some were extremely hard. Don't buy the book! He works off packets which you should study and know all of. A pretty good guy, I recommend him. You can get a good grade with a bit of work.

he's ok. Was a little hard to follow at times. Unless you are sitting up front in the class forget getting any help from him.
