Reviews of professor Matthew Hodgetts

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Hodgetts is great, his course structure is clear and expectations are well-communicated. He is also very comprehensive and gives extensions when communicated.
Weekly reflections that can be a bit stressful, LOTS of readings, 2 tests that are easy, and 2 essays. His class is great, but I wouldn't recommend taking it in a busy semester.

He's a great prof and super understandable with regards to pretty much anything :) my friend says he's the best professor he's had so far at Case.

Great dude! There's a good amount of reading, but it's mostly interesting stuff and he's great about going over it in class. Very helpful when you meet with him outside of class for feedback on papers and such.

Did pretty poorly on the first few papers but I went to his office hours and he helped a lot so I improved my grade a lot! Attendance only mandatory on discussion days but go to class to get on his good side for participation points. Don't bother buying the textbook. There's only one test and it's straight from the PowerPoint. Good teacher overall.

The class was hard because not a lot background was given for the papers. One could tell he was passionate about the subject but he tended to forget that majority of the class was 1st years who did not have prior knowledge on the subject matter. Also one had to write at least five papers through out the semester.
