Reviews of professor Aaron Hoy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Aaron was on parental leave part for part of the class. It honestly sucked without him, but the class was so happy when he came back. He is really passionate and brings a lot of energy to class. He is very chill and open and always answers any question you have. There are two tests, weekly quizzes, and a few small paper plus a lot of discussion.

One of the best professors I've had. Super caring about his students and their education, & very passionate about what he teaches. Attendance isn't mandatory but it will help you understand the content better. Not difficult if you do the homework and listen in class, some of the readings can be long but interesting. Really nice & understanding guy!

Prof Hoy is absolutely wonderful. He really cares about his students and understands that we are busy with not just one class. He is not strict about homework turn in dates, but that being said the midterm and final were hard

Loved this class! We had great discussions in class. Readings were very interesting. Mid-term and final weren't too difficult if you had been paying attention. Hoy really cares about his students and is willing to be flexible with what is happening in your life. Accepted late work for full credit. Let us self grade participation at end of semester.

Hoy is an excellent choice to choose from. I don't really enjoy sociology that much, but Hoy makes it bearable by far. The class has typical textbook readings and easy assignments for points. Not too difficult tests and final, just study for them. The prof is great and really knows his stuff and makes sure you understand and learn.

This is my favorite professor I have had here. He takes his time to actually meet his students and is super engaging. Makes the grading clear!

Although this class was fully online, this has been my favorite class taken so far in college. He was an extremely helpful professor, always making sure that the material was easy to understand. It is a great course to take to cover your writing-intensive requirements. Not to mention, it was a very interesting class!

This class was both eye opening and fun. Being a Sociology course, it is so much better if you participate in discussions during class, and Aaron does a great job facilitating these and accommodating his students. Started me on my Sociology Minor!

I have truly loved having Aaron as a professor. I had Covid and he was so understanding. He has a clear format for what you need to do for each week, clear rubrics, and if you are still confused, he will answer any questions. The quizzes are easy and the papers, though time consuming (roughly 2 pages each), are also quite easy. Easy A!
