Reviews of professor Renee Hoffart

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best professors I've had. She cared for students and wanted everyone to do well. Lectures were interesting and engaging so by the time the tests came around you barely had to do any studying. She tried to do anything to make class easy and enjoyable for all.

I really enjoyed the course and Renee was a good professor. She is good at being available to go over concepts if you need extra help. She does a great job explaining theories. I found the test's short and long answers were marked quite hard. I was well above the class average and still only finished with a B+. Would be hard to get an A+.

Not great at lecturing. Doesnt fully explain concepts and seems really uncomfortable.

All of her lectures were pre-recorded, but if you skipped any you would have no idea what is going on. Reading the textbook was essential as well to further understandings. Very good about mentioning to reach out to her with any questions/concerns or to set up an office hours meet.

She's a great professor. This was a tough class since it was during the summer term and there was LOTS to to memorize, but she made it manageable. She provides many interesting case studies that correspond to the dry theories that make up the majority of the class. She cares about her students, but I found her to be standoffish and sometimes rude.

I took SOC2510 & SOC3740 with her in Summer 2019. I thoroughly enjoyed the courses and found that her lecture style really worked well with my learning style. Normally I find theory quite difficult but she connected theory to current cases which really helped. Overall an awesome prof for summer courses & Id definitely take another course with her.
