Head hopping is where the author changes POV at random, whenever they feel like it. Like in the middle of a scene which is 90% from Jane's POV, suddenly we slip into John's POV for a paragraph or two. Very distracting and hard to read. Not to be confused with third person omniscient, which is a legit POV where you are in everyone's head all the time.
