I am experienced in teaching and designing course material for large lectures (over 120 students) and smaller classes (fewer than 30 students), both in-person and online. I have taught the following courses:
Introduction to Agricultural and Resource Economics (8 sections; Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Fall 2023, Spring 2024)
Fundamentals of Economics (2 sections; Summer 2023, Summer 2024)
Evaluations are available upon request. Summary statistics are below.
Comments from Students:
"He was always very receptive to questions in class and willing to go down the thought process with the student even if it wasn't something we would cover in class. He was a great professor and made class enjoyable."
"I think Mr. Hooe is a very kind teacher and knows the material very well, so any questions asked he can definitely help with. He definitely loves what he is teaching and you can tell that by the way he explains the material."
"Mr. Hooe is very clear with course material and very understanding and approachable. Although the material can be dry at times, he is a very good professor and cares about his students. I would recommend this course to others."
"Mr. Hooe was easily one of the best teachers I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his class and teaching. He makes the class a proper level of difficulty and encourages us to look at real world examples (outside of the articles we read for class) to see these principles in action. His class has been one of my favorite classes and I was actually excited to go to class."
"Great guy, great professor. Highly recommend. Always advocated for us and made us feel respected and important. Helped me enjoy the topic."
"Mr. Hooe successfully, in my mind, tied learning and enjoyment together. Economic topics that could be considered boring were masked by Hooe's enthusiasm and examples. I emphasize examples. Hooe's examples for economic variables and ideology were interesting and made me understand the course material better without boiling it down to boring basics."
