Dr. James Hodges
Part-time Faculty - College of Education
Trident Teaching Excellence Award
Dr. Hodges is the most engaging professor I have had at Trident University, and I am on my third degree here. Dr. Hodges inspired me to improve my writing skills by providing me with detailed feedback. Dr. Hodges was actively engaged with all students through our discussions posts. Dr. Hodges took the online teaching tools a step further by providing real world examples, asking our thoughts and opinions, and then posting what the final outcome was in the real situation. What an amazing way to see what we are learning applied to actual situations in schools. I am very grateful for being a part of Dr. Hodges class and hope that I am able to benefit from his teaching style in future courses.Kristine, EDU506, June 2019
