Reviews of professor Aaron Hammes

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lot of work, but this dude is the best. Take him if you love reading. He'll teach you tons about Russian and German lit, which is basically his specialty. He's also fkin hilarious.

I truly recommend professor Hammes. He is a true inspiration. No midterm exams or finals. weekly reflections and a final paper. He gives positive feedback. class participation matters. Our class discussions were intriguing. I will take him for the Senior seminar course. Please take him for this course, it will be fun and informative.

About 8 2-3p papers no midterm/final, heavy readings. final was either an essay or a menu of theories even though he was a caring professor, I would never take him again the amount of stress I went through b/c of his class is too much. at least he accepted late assignments though. he would assign papers to be due a week later or sometimes only days

Although there's readings each class, it's not that intensive and he only wants to know if everyone understood the materials. No quizzes or midterm and there's only one final with a few papers (all 2-3 page each). Super friendly, funny, reliable, and makes a safe space for everyone! No judgement at all and he treats us like equals

Truly an inspiration to students who are interested in making changes for the social good. His unorthodox style of teaching is based on class-led discussions and readings, but it all blends well for a fun and unique experience. My goal is to get into police Community Affairs, and his teachings will be a big influence in that for me going forward.

Professor Aaron is really nice. You can tell he works hard but still gives his students plenty of feedback and is willing to talk with them one on one if they need extra help. Don't be too frightened about his assignments either, but respect the time. Would Recommend.

It's an easy A if you put in the work. I took his class once a week on saturdays, so we had a paper due every class, emailed. They were either 1 pg, 2-3, or 5-7 page long papers, sometimes both due same day. Hardish topics, lots of reading. He gives a lot of feedback on writing- mostly constructive, sometimes just criticizes people's work.

He's a really good professor but gives a lot of work. If you're an introvert, definitely do not take this class. He likes calling people randomly so you have to be prepared. All in all, if you really wanna learn, take this class. :)

He's great and knows his stuff about Food justice. Reflection papers due every week on Mondays and questions about the reading due on Wednesday. No reflections due when you have major writing assignments. Midterm paper and Final paper, no test. He will work with you, he is great at teaching and explaining. Would take again.
