Dr. Hoffmann is just wonderful! She's kind, funny, and always enthusiastic to do her job. She completely understands that most of the students taking this class are doing it for University Studies, so she does her best to make it as easy as she can. The lowest test and quiz grade gets dropped, and there are lots of opportunities for extra credit. Attending the class isn't mandatory, as the notes are online. It's a pretty straightforward class that I highly recommend!

Professor Hoffmann is highly responsive and easy to reach outside of class, and I would take this class again in a heartbeat. I attended four classes during the semester and got an A-.

Professor Hoffmann is truly wonderful. She made the classes enjoyable. She gives like only a couple of homework and quizzes. I suggest you take good notes and study them well as the tests count for 75%. Those were not that difficult though and she drops the lowest and has an extra credit test. Overall, you cannot go wrong with this teacher. Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had.
