Reviews of professor Tobin Hansen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Hansen cares about his students and is very passionate about his work. He's very well informed about what he's teaching and is able to connect with students about it. Get ready to read and discuss in class. The grading is straightforward and he gives great feedback on essays.

Really sweet professor. A bit more work than my other classes but he also grades easier to make up for that.

Tobin is a great professor that obviously cares a lot about all of his students. He's a very sweet and caring guy who will help you to engage with the material, but also be there to listen to you if you need it. For his HC 101 class, it was definitely reading heavy, with weekly summaries of the reading due as well as some papers and presentation.

Tobin was probably the most laid back professor I had last term. He is very chill during class and doesn't force you to participate in class discussions. I can't say that I was a fan of his "reading responses," which were required for every reading that was assigned. Overall, pretty easy professor as long as you pay attention.

Tobin Hansen is the best professor I've had at the UofO. He is so caring and understanding. Very passionate about his job. The class was very easy as long as you submit the assignment you'll get an A.

Tobin is the nicest professor I have ever had. I joined his HC 101 without any experience on the topic. There is a lot of reading and group projects, but he is understanding about everything. He will grade easily if you participate. 10/10 recommend this class to anyone as Tobin is one of the most genuine and kind teachers ever.

*took HC 444 with Tobin. Wow, I've never had such a caring professor who's love for his students shines through from day 1 onwards. He has so much grace built into the syllabus, with "best by" dates instead of hard deadlines. He's so understanding while challenging his students to think deeply and produce some awesome ideas and work! Take his class

He is a very understanding professor and a fairly easy grader. You only have to turn in 3 5-paragraph essays and a research paper for the final. Every class you have to submit a reading response which is super easy and self graded. I literally turned in every single essay the final day of the term (sorry Tobin) and received a B+ in class.

High expectations for work submitted but is flexible about deadlines. Dr.Hansen is a very caring person and integrated writing workshops in addition to the content we were working on, which was very beneficial with writing projects/papers in the course. I specifically took his HC231 on Care and the topics were super interesting and insightful too.
