Reviews of professor Steven Hoffman

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I actually took UNIV101 with Dr. Hoffman. Dr. Hoffman is a super nice guy and genuinely wants his students to succeed in this class. However, he is definitely still getting used to the class and is pretty disorganized at the moment. He tends to grade in a weird way, usually grading everything right before the end of the semester.

Professor Hoffman is a great person, not the greatest teacher, but you do learn a lot. The start of the semester, you do a bit of homework, but it gets less and easier. He does not always have a set plan of what to teach, so he asks us what we want to learn about, and we have a discussion about that. Oh and btw, no tests! Take this class.

I took intro into social works with him and so the material was not suppose to be challenging but simply educational, which it was. This class was also a hybrid class so half online and half in person. Overall, Brother Hoffman was great! He is an amazing teacher to work with and to learn from. I highly recommend taking a class from him!

No tests. Attendance is mandatory, so don't think about getting sick. Professor Hoffman is nice, but I didn't learn anything because he doesn't teach. It's a waste of your tuition, and I do not recommend learning about social work from him. If you need an easy A, take it, but you'll have to go to class and read a lot of conference talks every week.

You have to do 20 hours of service for your final and a group project. Brother Hoffman didn't allow in-class time to work on your group project so good luck coordinating with your group on time. Grading was lax and so were the lectures. He said attendance was mandatory but forgot to take it more than half the time. Great guy though!
