Best teacher ever!
No Comments
Good teacher, but too concerned with being politically correct and too busy engaging in the students personal affairs. Overall, good teacher, NOT BORING !just keep your OWN accurate records.
One of the few great open minded and insightful teachers I`ve had. Class is not too much stress, easy. I highly recommend her.
A truly outstanding professor who treats her students as friends, unlike other professors who think they know it all and feel superior to others. She is very clear in explaining topics that could be perceived as difficult. In my opinion, her distinct personality kept an otherwise boring topic, very interesting.
Extremely sweet. She wants to engage the class and does a great job to accomplish just that. She really listens to her students and asks the class to read very interesting material, no boring books. Very nice and understanding. Interesting prof. I highly recommend her.
Great if you don't like Bush....she's hillarious with her "screw the USA" banter. Even though she loves being American....LMAO!
Proffessor Hofmann is a caring professor! She cares about teaching her students how to take their minds to another level, not only where English is concerned but in life as well. If you work hard and maintain a open mind you'll love her 103 class!
She is the greatest teacher for English I have ever met. She is very friendly and very easygoing. Her papers are explained several times in class and is very fair and alomost too nice, I would recomend her over any other English teacher
Loving English with Holly! She makes every effort to engage the entire class and is so passionate about teaching. This class was a joy to take and I highly recommend her as a professor.
Miss Hofmann is one of the most progressive conscious professor I have taken. She treats everybody with dignity and respect, and absolutely cares about each individual's progress in her class.
Really well structured class with plenty of diversity in the material. She chooses a lot of very interesting literature to cover. You'll have to read quite a bit, this isn't a class you can just shrug off, and there are quite a few essays to do, but if you put in the time and effort you are sure to learn a lot.
She is a very nice and cool instructor. I've never had an instructor like her.
This prof is really for the students and really tired to teach her students to do their best and use all resources avaiable to them in life. It was easy to see how much she enjoyed to teach those who may really need it, especially to succeed at the university level. If you want a prof who can really help you, she is the right one.
She is an excellent teacher that really cares about her students. She will work with you individually and actually encourages you to come to office hours. You will do great if you tend to improve on each paper you submit to her. We had to do one in-class essay and no final, just a self-evaluation! VERY COOL!
This is one of the most exciting classes I have taken at a JC. Professor H not only cares about her students, her assignments are very appealing. She helped me tailor my essays to have more impact. You have to be willing to write your own opinion and not just rewrite the reading assignments.
Profesor Hoffman is clear and helpful in her teachings.
I love taking her class. She was extremely caring and easygoing. She explains everything and is there for your assistance. I passed her class with a breeze, I received an A in the class and an A on all my papers. The books that she had us read were excellent. I highly recommend everyone to take her class because she is the best English teacher ever
this was the best teacher ive had at west even though i dont take her class anymore i stil email her about internships and other things because she is very helpful and wants her students to succeed
LOVED HER CLASS. VERY SWEET. VERY FUNNY. EASY TO UNDERSTAND......TIME FLEW IN HER CLASS.EASY GREADER.
One of the best Prof. I have ever had the pleasure of taking! Just do the work and you will get a easy A!
GREAT ATTITUDE, NOT BORING, PROVIDES LOTS OF HELP AND EXCELLENT RESOURCES.
Great teacher! Will guide you through your low points to reach a greater level towards the end!
Best teacher ever!!!!!!!
I attended english 021 course and section number 0940. She makes the course fun and inviting. I learned how to structure sentences for essay paper thta will be covered in english 28. She is very informative and easy to learn from.
She is a great teacher. extremely helpful and wants everyone to pass. The work was easy if you read. She gave good critiques on essays. Essays were explained throughly and we were given exmples and outlines on how to do them correctly. She wants you to learn andcares about her students! Take her class and you wont regret it!
She is extremely Helpful and helps you understand what is being taught. Although projects were a serious task, they were also enjoyable. She is a fun teacher and you really enjoy learning a lot.
she a very nice professo and helpful...
Took her online class in fall. Interesting weekly reading and writing assignments. Would highly recommend her class!
This is a great teacher. Took her online class at WLA. Thoughtful of students and only required one low cost book for class. Weekly reading and writing assignments. No tests. I highly recommended this class.
She is very helpful. She replys to your emails within 24hours. So far one of the best professors at WLAC.
great teacher, super easy to pass just got to do the work and evrything in the essasy is discussed clearly in class. I love the class
its a great teacher very easy just have to do reading and use common sense in your essays. she tells you time before what is expected of your essay, she's very laid back. 1st day of class she looked so mean but when she speaks she is so sweet.
The best teacher I have ever had. Kind, Understanding, Fun assignments. Do the work and keep an open communication with her and you'll get an A.
Great Teacher! Uses the textbook a lot, so you don't feel like you have wasted any money. Also offers a lot of free resources and materials that come in handy and very helpful. Great personality and extremely understanding. Helps as much as she could. Makes everything easy to understand, and explains things very clearly. Very patient and polite.
Professor Hofmann is an excellent instructor,who truly cares about her students. Take her online classes,its not too much work load only about 3 assignments per week and 3 essays throughout the semester.If you want to get more points on a assignment you can make changes.Fast Food Nation is what you'll read in her class, which is an interesting book
I LOVE HER ONLINE CLASS. Discussions on chapters, three EASY essays throughout semester, very helpful modules. Trust me, you will not regret this online class.
She is a great teacher. I would take her for any subject!
Truly was inspired from her teachings you will learn so much from her lectures and power points. She give good grades however, you must complete the essays and read the short interesting novels. She is one of the best professors and lover her style.
I love this lady. If you want an experience that you will cherish forever by all means take take her class. all of them that you can. if your lazy and just looking for an easy c this is not the class for you. piss off somewhere else if thats the case. Thanks for everything professor Hofmann!
Very informative.
Great instructor!!!
She is very good. Sometimes she forgets things, but she repeats thing more than once so if you dont get the due dates it is your problem. She actually finds vey interesting readings and makes the class participate as individuals, not as a crowd. I would reccomend her to everyone.
Had I taken this class prior to taking History 41/African American studies 4. I definately would have gotten an 'A'. This is because the essay writing portion of Prof. Hofmann's class was extremely helpful. If you don't like writing this class is the place you want to be. Thank you Prof. Hofmann for your teaching style. Really useful.
She is an outstanding professor. She gets you really into the subject at hand, and in that way makes the class very easy to understand. I sincerely recommend her.
Great teacher, very nice and funny. Her book choices and interesting and make you wonder. She super chill but doesn't stand of b.s.Bring you books and do most of your work and you'll get a good great.
Professor Hofmann is a great motivator. She is clear about her assignments and she is always available to help. She brings out the best in her students. She leaves you wanting for more. One of her students wrote at the end of class "he wish that professor could be cloned, she is rare and one of a kind". I truly agree with everything he said.
This one of The GREATS! She will keep your interest. And make you feel great about attending and learning in her class. This school need even more like Pro. Bailey-Hoffman.
Her choice of books is amazing especially Animal Farm. It was so interesting and truly makes you realize your political position as a citizen. I would take her all over again!! She is very helpful and available to discuss the books. this was my first online class and because of her i plan on taking more. GREAT TEACHER!!!
she is ok, she takes forever to give your grade, so during the all semester you would be clueless of your progess,so for that i would not recommend her, it's frustrating waitng for your grade on a online class
I just took her online class,yes she takes forever to grade and until now, still don't know what's my final grade, a lot of reading and homework, not too hard, because of how she run the online class, I would not recommend her, an online teacher should be on point and she is not she is kind of lazy a
Suppppper nice! MAkes clas fun! Not much homework only a few readings, 1 8 page essay due with a poster she makes it really easy divides the essay 2pages per 2 weeks. Very helpful. Easy class just do the work and you will pass. Shes funny and goofy shes a nerd but in a real funny way. Take her class! its's easy and shes a great teacher.
She is really nice and funny in a dorky way. She is very helpful and is a very good teacher. It is an easy class to pass. She gives easy HW assignments and you only have to do 3 essays (they are easy). I would highly recommend you taker her. I would definitely take her class again.
Great professor! Online class is completely manageable as long as you put in the time and effort. Assignments and reading is interesting and relevant,so you won't feel cclueless. Highly recommended.
Professor hoffman is very passionate about her work. This is a critical thinking and analyzation oriented English class so she keeps everyone involved by having class discussions about the books we read and short essays she hands out. The class work and homework is doable.
This was by far my best class I took at West LA College. The professor was amazing. Her teachings were to the point and were very clear. I loved to be in her class and learn English and Grammar. I am now prepared for the next step in the English sequence.
The great teach I even had, I'm truly recommend her...I got good grade. She didnt give a lot homework, or a lot essays, it simple nothing hard..you will larning in simple ways...
Ms. Hofmann is a sweet helpful funny lady. You will Learn something once you leave out of her class! Very Easy class just do the work!!
hybrid winter class, it went fast but she is very helpful and wants the students pass her class. Shes super laid back and funny the texts were great as well. 3 short essays and a cool amount of assignments due.
I loved her class. This was a Winter session so it went very fast. She is a great, funny, nice, and awesome professor. You will learn a lot in her class. The workload wasn't that much. Very doable. I recommend her for 21 and 28. Highly recommended English professor
Professor Hofmann is such an amazing, well spoken, helpful professor. She is always there to help you. Even though this was an online class Professor Hofmann was always there in her office for her students. I saw her a couple times to get help on stuff I didn't understand. If you need help on your English Grammar take this class. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!
Because of this Professor my faith in English has been restored I had given up on my writing skills and creative side but she has convinced me that I still have it in me its just a matter of bring it out and testing the waters. she is a very intelligent and kind spoken person and I truly enjoyed her class. you want be disappointed.
Very helpful teacher, best teacher Ive had thus far. She really does light a fire under you by giving amazing feedback
Professor Hofmann has a knack for teaching. She is an excellent communicator and she brings out the best in you, but not in an authoritarian way. She makes the class fun and exciting, and she has a kind heart. Truly one-of-a-kind. She is a professor I will always remember. She impacted my life as a student and an English Major.
Bailey-Hofmann is one of the best Prof. that I have ever had. She is easy to understand, and she goes out of her way to make sure that we are able to pass this class. If you show effort she will work with you.
She is an awesome professor!! Very nice and also very helpful.
H. Bailey-Hofmann was a very pleasant experience. I learned more from her in a 5 week period than I did with another instructor in a longer period. She made learning interesting and was seemed genuinely concerned with the success of the students. She was very engaged with the process. I enjoyed her immensely. I'd take her again.
She really is the best teacher at WEST! Her personality really gets you into the topic of the class. She states everything clearly and makes you understand everything she is talking about. Everyone should take her for English Class 101,102.
One of the best teachers ever! She completely turned my life around in many ways. There's so many positive things I can say about her and how she's helped me not only in class, but also outside of class. If you have any doubt in your English skills she will give you the confidence you need. I would definitely recommend her for any English course.
Best teacher at West LA! I am taking her Eng 101 over Winter. She is incredibly helpful. She will go over everything you need to know, plus she is super approachable, so if you need help, just talk to her or e-mail her. I wish there were more professors like her. She will work with you. Wants you to succeed. Will be taking her 103 class.
One of the best teachers on campus! Super helpful and has a great sense of humor! She really wants you to learn and enjoy her class! I use to hate english; I had taken english twice with other professors and failed! But Professor Hofmann's class truly helped me understand english and realize that it's not so bad! Take her! you will not regret it!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!! She's amazing professor, I will recommend her for ESL students because she understood our basic problem and she easily solve your problem without any confusion.
Not just a great teacher but a remarkable human being. What I love about Hofmann is that she has the experience and the prestige as a professor, but most importantly she has a heart. She expects the best from you but she also realizes what its like to be a student. she is there for you every step of the way if you do get lost. Please take her
She is one of the best professors at this college. Even when you don't believe in your self she believes in you and that you would do great on anything she throws your way. She has a clear outline on what sh wants to see when you write your essays and gives amazing feedback once she grades them. I'm looking forward to taking her English 103 class.
Professor Hofmann taught me so much during 5 week session! She is not a tough grader so just do your best at doing assignments in order to get a good grade. There is also a plenty of extra credit in case you mess up some of the assignments. Easy A.
One of the best English teachers i have ever taken
If you're looking for an English professor, take her! Trust me, you won't regret it. She really cares about her students and she will do everything she can to help you pass! Just do the work and follow instructions and you will pass.
Great Teacher! She gives feed back on you essays. You can ask her for help.
Professor Hofmann is an exceptional and caring professor. Her goal is for you to foster a love for English as well as become life long learners.
She is hands down one of the best professors at West LA College. Although this was a summer online class she was very helpful and easy to reach when contacted. She gives great feed back when reading you essays. Don't be shy by the work load, if you keep up with your reading and manage your time wisely I'm sure you'll get an A in the class.
She's the best English teacher that I never had. Compare this professor with other English professors that I took, her class was lots of reading and writing but she was there to help her class. If you are not good in English, take the class with her especially her online class. 6 discussion threads, summarize the chapters you read, and 3 essays....
Prof Hofmann helped me release my fear of english/writing essays. But writing her assignments was easy and fun. She gives great feedback and is quick to respond to emails. I hope to take her for my next English class as I feel calm and at ease in her course. Do your work and you'll pass easily. I took the 6 wkcourse and i'm so glad it was with her.
I took her accelerated online summer class. We read two books and wrote many summaries and papers. As long as you can keep up with the work and understand what you are reading she will be easy on you.
This teacher is amazing! If you want to learn and want a pleasant experience, then this is the class for you!
Took her for World Lit 1 and World Lit 2, since they were small upper division classes she gave us her cell phone number. She's always open to helping students and gives some really great lectures. She's getting her PhD this year from UCLA. World lit/ languages are her specialty so if that's something you want to learn she's a great choice.
Took a 5-week class and passed with an A. The professor was super nice and helpful. I did not get the textbook.
I liked her class! You can use ZOOM and participate in the conferences or just watch the recorded videos of her lectures at any time! It works for all students: who want to listen to the lectures, or who work and are not able to participate in the conferences! I liked her ZOOMs! Take her class, and enjoy your life, reading the interesting stories!!
Professor Hofmann is awesome to say the least, the course outline is fairly easy to follow and understand. I suggest If you need an English course, she is the Professor to go with !
I was kind of nervous talking English, let alone online, but Prof. Hofmann made it very doable. Just do the work, and youll do just fine in her class. Shes also very approachable. If you dont understand something, dont hesitate to ask. I would definitely recommend her class!
This teacher is the best, she is understanding. Make sure you plan ahead to do your essays!
Such a great professor love her spirt everyday I went into her class and she is so helpful with everything you ask with. She is a professor that makes learning fun and wish there was more of her!!
Great professor! Shes really engaging and grades easy as long as there is effort in your work. Just attending classes and submit your work for an easy A. The final was a group project on a research paper on a topic of our choice.
