Reviews of professor Aaron Hoffman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I love Prof Hoffman, I was really nervous for epi because it's a PH weed out class but he is so accommodating and quickly responds to questions and emails. He is a slow grader but everyone tends to do well on assignments. He just wants to you learn about epi as he is so passionate. I will really miss his class.

Dr. Hoffman's easily one of the sweetest professors I've taken. We only had 5 quizzes and 5 homeworks and they were pretty tough, but everything you need to is covered in class. He tries his best to help you understand the topics, and will respond back to emails. There is one big group project that seems daunting, but it's nothing too bad.

Dr. Hoffman is a great professor but his slides can be confusing and overwhelming. Go to class, even though it isn't mandatory, and take good notes so you can review them after class. There's a big group project, which will bump your grade, but his exams/quizzes are really tough unless you put in the work to study.

He is an intelligent person, and I know the class itself is not easy to work with/teach. That said, his teaching style is very disorganized. He does not convey concepts clearly, which would be okay if he were flexible, but he is not super flexible (very particular). For the group project, his feedback was late, unclear, and not helpful.

Prof. Hoffman is an awesome quirky guy who kept me interested in a class I thought I would hate. Regular quizzes (1 a week) average your grade pretty fairly. It's an easy A but you do need to study before every quiz. Homework assignments are pretty short and easy. He is a grad-level prof and expects students to do the work without micromanaging.

Very smart professor who is kinda weird but also really funny, witty, and sarcastic. Him and the TA are very approachable. I enjoyed his lectures way more than I thought. I wouldn't say it's an easy A, but not impossible to do well in. 6 quizzes, a semester group project, a final, and homework assignments that weren't too difficult.

Dr. Hoffman is one of my favorite professors at Tulane. He is awkward and nerdy and very funny. Great lectures. He makes Epidemiology fun. I did not particularly enjoy that a main part of the class is a group project with preassigned groups. The class isn't very easy but it doesn't take much effort either. I would take his class again.
