Comment:

Mrs. Hofmann is a nice person and I overall did like the class, although there is a lot of homework and it can be very hard to keep up with. She lets you have 5 free missed days which is great. She is a tough grader and you really have to work for a 100. If you want an easy class do not take.

Comment:

Was very passive aggressive with grading. When I submitted my work online she would leave boardeline rude comments on it, but when I asked about them in class she would suddenly switch tones and try to help me out. Also the reading material for my class was the most boring unreadable books Id ever read.

Ms Hofmann is an excellent first year writing professor. She gives extremely detailed grading rubrics and assignments so each student complete understands the task handed to them. The readings assigned are reflected in in class discussions. She makes sure you get complete & helpful feedback on your assignments.

Comment:

Sweetest English teacher I've ever had! Weren't given an actual textbook, but a short novel. We would read a section of the book for HW, write up a reflection on Canvas, then have in-class discussions, everyone gets a chance to share their opinions and be heard. We also worked on our final portfolio throughout the semester which was well organized

Comment:

Very nice, requires attendance & participation. Class was discussion based for the 1st month, then we wrote intensely. The website you create at the end is graded harsh and very time consuming. You will write many journals and "Logs" which you will use for your research project & website. Ended up being a pretty stressful course with lots of work.

Comment:

This class should be one of the easier classes that you take for general education. However with Hofmann, she makes it way harder than it needs to be. The work is super easy and doesn't require much thought, but her grading is super tough and it is very easy to overlook an assignment . Easy class, easy work, not an easy professor.

She's an alright teacher. Does nothing more than what she should which is expected for a general education class. Very easy grader. Never gives a grade above a 95 and never below a 90. The projects are long and she probably doesn't read through them.

Comment:

I was shocked at how easy this class was for me. 3 major projects that really weren't that hard. If you do what the assignment asks you will get a 95 (95 is the highest she gives). Do the homework and low stakes writing assignments, lots of missed assignments will bring your grade down. Not big on grammar and spelling. The lectures were boring tho.

Comment:

Her directions on the projects aren't very clear and a lot of the work is tedious. She's not very good with technology in the classroom. She makes you work in groups almost everyday. She did not put in grades till like the very end of the semester. Overall, she is very nice and if you do what you're supposed to, it will be an easy class for you.

Comment:

Ms. Hofmann is one of the most caring professors at this university. However, do be careful. I am not saying this is the case but I felt like once I slipped up on an assignment, she started grading me a tiny bit harder than she usually would. Make sure you work extra hard on your portfolio. Ruined my B average in the class which made me mad.

She is nice, but don't get on her bad side as someone else stated. I missed turning in like 3 homework assignments, and that did me in. I didn't ever feel like i learned anything, she's not a "great" teacher. She's also one of those old ladies who tries to use technology in the class room, but knows absolutely nothing about it. Find another teacher

This class was great with her. In 1101&2, we did a few assignments where we would read and submit responses, but they were easy and interesting, also short. There are a couple of major projectspapers she gives but she will walk the entire class through each step. Stay on task and you will be fine. It's hard to fail, honestly. No tests!

Very good teacher!!! Can be goofy, but it's not a bad thing. If you ever need help, she does whatever she can to assist you. She's very understanding and caring! Everything is done online which is convenient. No tests. Easy A if you put some effort. I have never "rated" a professor, but I had to rate Mrs. Hofmann just because I loved her that much!

the best professor ever. Definitely take her. She is so nice and always willing to talk to you and help you. Class is not hard at all if you spend 3 hours in it every week. Again, the best english teacher ever!

Comment:

This professor definitely favors international students. If you aren't from somewhere outside of the US, don't have high expectations for this class. Tons of assignments (generally easy) and 3 or 4 major papers (all made into an electronic portfolio at the end of the course). She treats you like you are two, and class is insanely BORING. avoid her

Very easy class, 4 papers that you edit throughout the semester and turn in a final portfolio. Make her believe you are buying into the system and going to the WRC during your conferences with her and she will like you, don't get discouraged by low grades on rough drafts she grades the portfolio easy, I got a 78/100 on my drafts and 400/400 on port
