One of my favorite (if not THE favorite) professors that I've had at Northeastern. The powerpoints were amazing and actually interesting. I loved going to class (which is saying something) and really retained a lot of information just because it was presented in such an interesting manner.SOCL1101 2012-05-09 14:54:23 +0000 UTC
Sociology of Violence with Mr. Hovey: Mind=Blown. He's awesome to say the least. Very approachable, quirky sense of humor, extremely helpful and a very good teacher. I walk out of class learning something new everytime!SOCL1241 2012-04-03 23:48:28 +0000 UTC
Chris is the best professor I've had. His powerpoints were interesting, he loved his material and very was engaging. I got an A+ just by going to class, which wasn't hard because they were enjoyable. I never even opened the textbook. Still not convinced? He brings coffee for students to all exams. Take his class!! GPA booster and you'll learn a lotSOC1101 2011-04-05 11:22:13 +0000 UTC
Extremely nice and wants his students to do well and understand concepts. He will review your work before it's due to provide feedback and his tests aren't too bad if you study. He says class if optional, but if you want an A, you need to go since most of the test questions are from lectures and NOT from the book.SOCL1101 2011-02-11 11:00:38 +0000 UTC
I loved Chris as a teacher! He made the subjects extremely interesting and clear and it was evident that he spent alot of time on creating his powerpoints for lecture. very approachable and gave me tons of help when i needed it! also, willing to look over your assignments before they are due to give you feed back. definitely recommended!SOCL1101 2011-01-27 00:18:11 +0000 UTC
