Adam Hoffman is an above average teacher. He has clear lectures and grading for essays. He is good at introducing students to ASU resources such as the writing center. He is knowledgeable and has pretty good fashion sense. On the other hand, most of this class is just prep for 4 big essays. It can be difficult to understand his "ideal" essay. D GL

Adam is a killer teacher and one of the most in-depth and concise teachers I've had at ASU. The class consists mainly of four big papers that make up your grade. He genuinely cares about his students success, and will work hard with you to help you get the grade you want in the class. Hard grader but is worth the experience if you put in the effort

ENG 494: Birth of Terrorism- This class is not for the faint of heart as there is a lot of reading and writing per module. But it's well worth the knowledge and stretching one's understanding of the world. Loved that there were documentaries and other films mixed in with the reading. Professor Hoffman cares about his students. Fair with grading!

This is a professor where if you truly want to improve your writing and are willing to put in a lot of effort to do so, it could be very beneficial.
