As students, it is our priority to determine our success. However, often times our educational goals can become impeded by our professors. In this case, Dr. Hogan has non-stop tests/quizzes, makes us come into school on days off when some of us live 35 minutes away and cannot afford the gas money, and also is a very petty individual. She tells the class to stop talking when no one is talking, and if someone is talking during the lecture about the subject she teaches (General Biology 101), she says, "It is very chatty in here today," as she has her back turned to us. In addition to everything mentioned above, when we make a mistake on assignments called "Lab Reports," she tells us to fix a certain error. When we do fix the error by putting exactly what she says we should put, she once again tells us it is wrong. It is as if we can never be right. Finally, when we have tests, we even have a quiz right afterwards, and then we continue to have a 2 and-a-half hour lecture. Then, she posts "mini-lectures" to watch online and take notes on after she did not finish her 2 and-a-half hour lecture in class due to her going on off unnecessary tangents. As students of the Early College Program at the Central Virginia Community College Bedford Center, we ask for a change and chance at furthering our education with a new teacher that understands us and does not abuse her power with arrogance and pettiness.
im honestly blown away by how many people are feeling this same frustration right now. it feels good to know were not just making this up and that everyone sees how unfair this class has become.

The lab reports are honestly a nightmare. I spent all weekend fixing mine exactly how she asked just for her to fail it again. I cant deal with this anymore.

I forgot to mention in the Petition Description that Dr. Hogan also disrespectfully talks about other professors behind their backs. In one instance, she claimed that another professor working at CVVC is not a Doctor, and that, "Some people actually work for their PhD and deserve to be called "'Dr.'" The problem is, he does have his doctorate, and he is a great professor that students enjoy having. She has led the student body at CVVC Early College to believe that one of our favorite professors is not really a Doctor in his field of study, which completely discredits all of his hard work he has put into his education. This is just another example of how Dr. Hogan is a very petty and arrogant person.

I agree with these statements as they are true. We as students spend hours upon hours completing/correcting these lab reports for our professor just to mark a zero like it's nothing. We will spend hours trying to correct her statements; do them exactly like she says, and once completed. She gives us another comment that its wrong and not done the right way. If she would like it done a specific way, she should tell us the way she wants it done instead of saying, "dont include this... change this.... rewrite this so that -... etc." Her ways of teaching are lack luster to what they need to be. And she needs to be somewhere else, like a university as she is far too picky and sensitive for a community college and much more qualified than she needs to be for us community college students.
