Prof. Hoffman makes everyone lives alot earier. He is cool with us because he teaches a working class. I would love if he taught other classes other than marketing. Every Professor should be like him. He is an excellent Math teacher.
Let me just say that it was sad leaving this class. Professor Hoffman was probably the best teacher i have ever had! I wish i'll have him in my Math and Marketing class
He's an awesome teacher, very fair and simplifies any topic that comes up by using present affairs and current events. Although he is a Math professional, he was excellent in preparing you for business studies.
best professor of BMCC!!!
this professor is very good. he teaches very well. if u really want to learn take this professor.
he teaches very useful organizational skills
very helpful professor who breaks everythign down little by little so that you can understand what he is teaching. Great teacher
Great professor. He taught me how to brainstorm and do well on my exams.
Great professor, teaches very well and convey his message to his students very good.
The best prof EVER!! I wish I could take him for all my classes. GREAT!!!! A++++++
DO NOT TAKE HIS MARKETING CLASS if you like to get A's. So much work your head is spinning day 1. There's 2 pages of homework due everytime class meets (including the first class!), a hard multiple choice test every two weeks..and "the binder" final project. Your house will be filled with newspapers. Crazy work.You'll neglect your other classes.
I've never learned so much in 1 class WOW!!!
Prof. Hoffman's class was brilliant preparation for Baruch. Also, terriific advisement for gettiing in!
Professor Hoffman is awesome! His tests are pretty tough but he tries to make every one succeed. He knows everything about marketing and will even become your advisor. Read the chapters twice if you can. His tests are taking directly from sentences in the chapters.
I learned more about marketing than youd imagine. I'm saving my portfolio for job interviews. The best prof I ever had. WOW!
HE IS VERY EASY AND WELL EDUCATED PROFESSOR, YOU LEARN ALOT
He blows away every business prof I've ever had!!!! WORD.
great profesor...great person...just do what he asks its so easy...he even gives you the tests before the actually examination day he's cool relates to everyday issues. TAKE HIM NOW
I AM ALWAYS LUCKY TO GET A GREAT PROFESSOR AND THIS SEMESTER DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. PROFESSOR HOFFMAN WAS EXCEPTIONAL. JUST DO HIS WORK AND YOU'LL BE OKAY. HE IS VERY, VERY SMART AND HE SHARES HIS KNOWLEDGE. AND HE IS VERY KIND, HE NEVER GETS MAD EVEN WHEN HE SHOULD. ANYONE WHO GETS THIS PROFESSOR WILL LEAVE THE CLASS WITH A WORLD OF NEW INFORMATION.
Professor Hoffman is one of those professors that you actually learn something from. He is very intelligent and makes you look forward to his next class because he is guaranteed to share something very interesting. He is excellent!
Definately take him for intro business. He teaches the entire textbook and is so funny. Gives take home exams and makes the class interesting. Hoffman rocks!
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!!!! FULL OF LIFE AND REALLY MADE THE CLASS A PLEASURE TO BE IN.
One of the best proffesors i have had. take home exams, easy classes, and actually teaches. great great proffesor."Mad cool".if you can take him, do so.
Prof. Hoffman is a great professor. Just make sure that any advice he gives on how to complete his assignments is taken seriously. His style of teaching is unique making the class interesting. I guarantee you will have a new respect for marketing.
A natural teacher, an amazing class, I am SOOOO glad I got to take him, he went way beyond the book, related everything to rl, AWESOME!!! btw LISTEN TO HIS ADVICE about doing the thesis, I didn't, wished I did lol!
Professor Hoffman is so far the best professor I've had in my years attending BMCC, he makes the subject interesting and fun. Thanks Professor Hoffman for making me look at business in a totally different way. GOOD JOB!!!!
what makes prof. hoffman stand out frm the rest.is his practicality in his teachings since he has a rich business experience!!working full time and attending evening classes is no joke,and he understands that and makes sure that we are taught the right way.if u need to take mar100.he is the man,prof u r getting an A+ from us !happy new year!
In the beginning of your first class you will be told that you have to maintain a clipping thesis from the wall street journal. START clipping out the articles related to the chapters you will be covering THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASS. Spending 3 days at the end of the term clipping 15 weeks worth of articles is not worth the stress.
It's a good teacher an i love te way that he teach.I learn a lot.
I am taking a winter class with him now. HE IS AMAZING!!! I have never seen a professor so organized, I have never been in a class where I have learned so much in so little time. He has computerized grading, a class website, and every lecture is well-planned and organized. I don't even realize how long the class is when I'm there. He's AWESOME!!!
If I had two words to describe Professor J. Hoffman they would be "Pure Genius". He will make you laugh and educate you at the same time. He will work your butt off and you will love him for it. He is an absolutely amazing mentor and you will be lucky to have him as your professor. Cheers Mr. Hoffman. Thank You
One of the best professors I had. Very intelligent and organized, he's rather understanding but when he tells you to do things at a certain pace listen because it will catch up to you just as he said.
This professor was awesome very update when it comes to using technology and computers to distribute information about the course and keeping you brief with what's going on. I would definitely take him again he rocked!!
He is great Professor. If you do the work you will have a good grade
He truly is a great professor. i could've never get bored of listening to his lecture because he really knows how to capture students' attention with various teaching strategies. And he is the smartest person i have ever known. Amazing...
He is a nice professor. You would get A easily if you follow his rule. Although winter section was short,I learned a lot. He also teaches Marketing, I hope he would be my professor again.
two thumbs up,cool techer...
Prof. Hoffman is the type of professor that is really there for the students. He is such a well rounded person, and an amazing professor. He doesn't just tell you what the book tells you, he explains evertything in a way that you will understand whats being taught. You will learn soo much more than you expect! Took him in the winter, was the best c
Professor Hoffman is an excellent instructer. He teaches the lessons in real life scenarios, I took his calass in the winter recess, he gives you a lot of breaks for assignments he understands we work all day or have other classess. I recommend him 100%.
He is a wonderful teacher! Really enjoyed every real life stories he told us- funny and impressive!
highly reccomended....he is madd cool and very smart! he knows alot about everything especially nyc and its history, ask him anything.. wish i had him now for marketing cuz my current professor sucks... lol
Professor Hoffman is a genius. The smartest person ive met. You can ask him anything.His class was always interesting and he keeps you interested in the lectures as well. Never a boring day.Very understanding when it comes to assignments. Very organized and clear with the lectures. He is an excellent professor. I recommend him 100 percent.
He is a very good proffesor. I found his class to be very interesting and enjoyed attending.
Keep up the great work. It was a pleasure being in your class.
He is one of the best Professor in BMCC. He knows what he is talking about. I never wanted to be absent from he class. He is very imformative. He incorporates so much in a lesson. He relates everything in Business to real life. This Professor is worth every penny and more. I wish you taught all courses. You would have to be a fool or not int
This is one of few professors in which i can say that I've learned more from him than I did from the textbook. Prof. Hoffman taught me a lot and he was probably the best professor I've had at BMCC.
This is a great proffessor. Follow his syllabus and everything will be perfect. I learn so much from him. You wont regret it. he is the best! Follow the syllabus or the work will Catch Up!
his exams are medium, straight forward, and allows you to get the knowledge you need to know, but he gives too many assignments that takes a lot of your time, so i recommend him for those who are business or marketing majors, his classes will take a lot from the time you are supposed to give to other classes.
I loved his class i would go every day so i would not misshos fun lectures. hes really cool. truthfully i wanted to change my major but i stayed beacuse he makes business fun
He is a really great professor. Everything he saids is interesting.This professor knows everything, literally everything. We learned something interesting everyday. We watched many great movies.This class is fun but at the same time things were taken seriously; assignments, attendance,etc. A class with this prof. you'll never regret.
Prof. Hoffman is an excellent professor. He is very helpful and gives a lot of advice, which you can use both in the class and out of the class. Take this professor if you are really serious about business.
The breakdown that will help u if u r thinking of taking this class:We had very interesting lectures, there were some very interesting movies shown throughout the class. We had one persuasive essay, one thesis paper which was basically a summery of every chapter and a portfolio which was your notebook that you kept throughout the semester. The port
portfolio is very simple if you keep all your stuff. Everything is online so if you loose anything it?s always accessible. The attendance was passed around every class. The tests are not difficult at all. You won?t regret taking this professor.
This class is very to the point. Come to class, do your work, and you will be fine. I found the WalMart essay pretty interesting to write. The clipping theses seems like a lot of work, but it's not so bad if you don't save it all to the last minute. WSJ online saved my life! All test questions are given in advance, so that's def. a plus.
A wealth of information -he's never a bore. The only prof. I've ever met that I wish would keep talking.He's an incredible story teller and you will leave a smarter, more well rounded person. Although he, like many other prof.s at BMCC foster procrastination and doesn't praise planning ahead. For example we had something like 3 months to do our Wal
Hes a really cool teacher. Hes really knows a lot of stuff and his stories are incredible. The class was not hard, but start your clipping thesis early.
Very interesting class and helpfull. Strongly recommended.
very good...
Amazing professor with superior knowledge in business area. One of the best pick in BMCC. Read carefully syllabus and you won't misunderstand policy for the class. I did everything on time so I didn't had any problems with his assignments.
hes really cool and funny, takes his work serious though and his clipping thesis is no joke so dont wait till the las t minute, please, not much class work but lots of hw and portfolio is important to him so do it, dont think its over until it really is, lol
I happy i took this class. Prof.Hoffman was very clear from the begining what he expected from the students. He made it fun.He has the best stories
he's a very intelligent and fun professor. I've learned alot. I would recommend taking his class but there will be a clipping thesis that'll be assigned and I highly advise you start it as soon as possible.
Great professor, you must be prepared to do the work.
Professor Hoffman is a great Professor. He teach directly from the text book.Do your chapter summary when its due and hand it in because you will get a incomplete. Pay attention to the video that he show in class because you might have to refer it on your assignment paper.But overall professor Hoffman is a great Professor. Take him it worth it.
Professor Hoffman is one of my best professor I had this semister. He is very intelligent and a calm person. I would recomend him to any student over my english Professor Ryan. Ooops, I hope she doesnt read this
Professor Hoffman is straight and to the point. Listen carefully to his requests and assingments and you will do fairly well in his class. He doesn't test what wasn't taught. I look forward to having him for Marketing.
Hoffman is a well of information,unfortunately I didn't listen and ended up having late work no good do everything he ask in a timely fashion and u will pass this class with ease. What ever class he is teaching again I'm taking.He is fair and takes an interest in his students. This is the teacher you want to take any business class with I promise.
Took him twice. Failed the first time because I didn't do homework. Did better this year with tests and homework. Even though I took him twice he's still a great professor. I waited to long to do the clipping thesis and now i'm handing it in late. He's going to take points off but he's still kind enough to accept it. Great professor!
Prof. Hoffman is a great professor! Make sure you do his assignment ontime or else is going to catch up to you! His teaching theory is great and you will look forward to come to his class because he not only teaches from the book he is also full of knowledge and likes sharing it with his students. Just great.. Take him! you wont regret it!
Hoffman is a very good professor and very knowledgable. I received a good knowledge that is very helpful for may educational career
Professor Hoffman was the best teacher i ever had, he knows how to explain in clear details. He made the class very very fun while at the same time taught very well. Make sure that you keep up with the work or else you're DOOMED!! He is excellent. I was sad when class ended. Never missed a day!!! Thanx Professor. We need more professors like you.
class was either 111 or 112 intro to business really easy and will learn alot about business. all test are posted online easy A
very good professor and makes it fun to learn and very knowledgeable
Not only did he keep the class time interesting with helpful insights into the world of business that most of the class is already partially familiar with, but he made the assignments fun, challangeing, and extraordinarily educational, depending on the level of interest and detail. His term paper was in such a format to give a taste of achievment.
He is by far one of the best profesors in BMCC!!
do not wait until last 2 weeks to do his HOMEWORK YOU WILL NEVER GET IT DONE ON TIME.
Excellent professor. Explains and makes material understandable. Starit forward test. PLEASE DON'T WAIT TILL LAST MINUTE TO DO HIS MARKETING THESIS! Overall great teacher, good grading system. Got an A but you had to do some work too
GREAT TEACHER. HELPFUL
Great teacher, imparted loads of necessary knowledge.
One of the few people who really care about teaching and students in this College. He will help you with whatever you need help with. Very interesting! Pool of knowledge! His work is HARDCORE so don't take it for granted and do all the assignments before they are due. He pushes you to the limits so when you get to the end you'll feel accomplished!
AWESOME teacher, great stories related to business, i would have to say he's one of the best professors i've ever had...every professors should take note from him. he defintaly has the gift of teaching.
this guy will help you no matter what! Just ask him something and he'll tell you the pros and cons bout it. DO NOT WAIT TO FINISH THE CLIPPING THESIS!! He is fun and you'll never get bored in his class. He gives many handouts and online spreadsheets of the chapters he explains in class.. so u dont have to take notes like a dork!
The best there is at what he does, especially if you do what needs to be done on time!
I really like this professor, he makes everything easy for his students and I like his teachings. the hardest part for me was the clipping thesis. DON'T WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO FINISH YOUR CLIPPING THESIS. out of all my professor's i rate this professor with thumbss up and i wish to have him as a professor in the future.
I have nothing bad to say about Prof. Hoffman. He is a very intelligent teacher and he knows his material other than some other professors. He kept us busy throughout the semester with his clipping thesis and reading. I just wish he was my astronomy professor, I'd enjoy that class more if he was. :)
The professor is very helpful and givs practical advice for personal life, too.He is professional and reasonable.
nice prof, the pro with exprerience) harvard i believe.. class was productive, passible;)
professor hoffman is the best and he knows exactly what he's doing. ii highly recommend him to anyone who is willing to actually learn something. He breaks everything down and makes it 200% crystal clear=]...do his work on time and you will be fine, do not wait until the last minute, the work is not hard but he gives a lot of it so be prepared =]
helpful
Fantasic class. The Hoff keeps it interesting with funny, real-life examples. A fair amount of work, but manageable if you don't let it pile up. He also seems to bend over backwards to help his students - both with the course and college life in general. My only regret is that I took BUS 104 before I knew about Prof. Hoffman.
Nice professor!!He is funny guy.The test was so easy.I will recommend him to all the new students in BMCC.
This is the best prof. i have ever had.
very cool teacher!!! He has a very good method of teaching , and he is very funny. He made the Sunday morning class all fun. Thanks a lot prof Hoffman you did a great job.
like the way he approaches classes but needs to clarify his guidelines for his clipping thesis
i wish i had a teacher like prof. hoffman for all my classes!! he's very to the point and FUNNY!! i really enjoyed this class a lot!!
I can not stop using examples on the everyday basis about how everything in the society we live in has to do with marketing. Prof Hoffman is the greatest teacher I have ever had and I also wish all my professors were the same. He is very talented at what he does and I dont know how he does it but I learned SOO much this semester. THANK YOU!!
He is a very good professor. I would recommend him to any future students. You have to make sure and do all homework assignments and ensure that it is on time for the due date. Don`t wait until last minute, it would become very overwhelming for you. All his exams are easy and his teaching method is excellent. Great job professor!!!
Professor Hoffman is extremely helpful and willing to help a student accomplish their educational goals.
Please take this class - great learning and fun. Extremely clear, interesting content.TWO WARNINGS: Do your work weekly because at the end of the semester you will dread not taking his organizational advice!!Find those articles-put them in your notebook every week - it make life easier! He responds to emails, and makes himself available.A+
This class is interesting and enjoyable. Only warning I would give is to do your homework on time and start your portfolio a.s.a.p!! gathering all the info at the end is hard!! so make your life easy and do everything on time.. Its worth taking over lol
Very interested, extremely talented. Do the work. Summaries and Clipping Thesis should be started right away.He deserves quality work.
Great professor! His teaching skills are great. I was never bored in class.
Awesome Proffesor at BMCC.I am proud that I learned at his Business class.If you are BMCC student, you should not miss his class.He has excellent teaching method and so kind to student. But he really care about all study works and homeworks. Also he provided all works by internet and email. T think all of his time are just for his students.
His style of teaching is always reflected to real life situation which is very understandable for who is interested in business world. The choice of his videos teach us many facts about history of American business. Recomend this professor.
He rocks!
Even though I had to wake up at 7am on Sunday for this class, I really enjoyed the class! Also,I feel so good that I read the whole text book even though it was really tough. I strongly recommend to take his class!!!
Great prof class is an easy 'A' just have to keep up with the work.
Great lectures - not boring. Great documentaries and movies. Learned so much, def would recco prof hoff to my fellow students, just keep up with the work!!!!
EASY A!!!!..well that's only if you enjoy doing homework.lol. word of advice. DO NOT LEAVE IT ALL FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS!!!
easiest teacher u will ever get. i was able to fail my first 2 test only complete half my homework with answers on top of my head and still pass with a c+. could have easily got an A+ if i wanted to take the class seriously, but it was only an elective.
Very good teacher, w/an effective teaching method. Class time was well spent-using films and lectures to explain the material. Very enjoyable class
This class was my favorite. His lecture was very interesting, fun, and funny. ALso, it was my first class to read the whole textbook. It was hard, but I feel good that I didn't waste my money on a textbook like in some of my other classes that didn't use the book they made me buy. I miss his class very much.
FANTASTIC. I wish I knew about Professor Hoffman before I took BUS104
He is the best professor in BMCC that I ever had. He has very awesome organize skill and good teaching along with the best planning to entire semester.
Oneof the best professors ever!! Great explanation of the course, always good realistic stories, great examples, and overall a great person. I loved this class and the amount of work he instills in us. He is a great teacher. Perfect all around.
THE BEST EVER
VERY EASY AND HELPFUL
He really explained the concepts of marketing using real life events so that all could identify with. It was a pleasure, a true learning experience.
Hoff as a different style of teaching, much better then I was use to. CLIPPING THESIS, get the Wall Street Journal and save it you will need it, don't wait to the last minute or you be ****ED
Prof. Hoffman is a great teacher and teaches really well. Would like to take another class with him if he teaches something else.
This class was great all you have to do is the work and your good. I really enjoyed it big hint here *DO NOT WAIT TILL THE END OF THE SEMESTER TO DO ALL THE WORK* do it as it is assigned.
The best Prof I ever had... I wish he could teach all of my classes. He's the best! Can't u tell? Look at his ratings!
The class is a good way to be introduced to topics in business. Be prepared to do work outside of class. Don't wait too long to start homework and projects.
This Proff is the Best he doesn't push u to do anything but as a appreciation you do the best u can to pass his class .. great documentary helps a lot..Kudos
It was an easy class.
Best professor by far, he actually made the class fun. I wasn't so much interested in business, but now I wish I had another business class. Easy to understand and helpful.
GOOD PROFESSOR AND USE TIME EFFECTIVE
This class was very helpul for me because i learned a lot of things. he understands that there are some students who work and need an organize class like this, he works with emails. thanks prof!
I really enjoyed his class the lessons were thought out basically everything was given to us it. It was just a matter of completing all the work
Thanks for teaching us! You're a good professor!
The first professor that is up to date with technology! He is very knowledgeable in business and math lol. HIs presentations and videos are very informative. the work is clearly given to you but the effort in keeping up is all on your part not the professor! enjoyed this class would def take his other courses
Excellent professor and very knowledgeable I wish that he could teach all of my required courses Take my advice DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE FOR THE CLIPPING THESIS!!! You will be OVERWHELMED
Prof Hoffman was a great professor. Up to date with his computer skills. Never a dull moment with him. I definitely recommend him.
Excellent proffessor,he emphaizes fun, and excitement in his lectures. A strong word of advice KEEP UP WITH THE WORK, dont leave it for the last minute, like i did.
Best Professor Ever....Whenever You Need Help He Is There To Help You...Easy Teacher....Just Do Your Work and Study For The Tests and Trust Me you will pass Highly Recommened Teacher!!!!!! To The Fullest!!!!Thanks for a wonderful semester Professor Hoffman
great professor, but you need to keep up with the home work and finish them on time. DO NOT LEAVE THE CLIPPING THESIS AND WAL-MART ESSAY FOR LAST IT WILL BE Overwhelmingly TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO DO ESPECIALLY IF YOU WORK FULL TIME. other than that a great teacher for a great class
KEEP UP WITH THE HOMEWORK!!!Believe me when i tell you that iam the mother of procrastination and left it for the last minute. BAD IDEA!!!Do your homework accordingly and you'll be fine.
Professor is cool but make sure you complete his assignments it is very valuable to your grades. He will be there to steer you i the right direction
Best Professor ever!! Great introduction to business very helpful.Learned a lot from this course!! KEEP UP WITH THE HOMEWORK..TRUST ME.Thank you professor for such wonderful teaching. Keep up the good work :)
funny very interesting. very helpful.. start your clipping thesis early.. you will be warned more than once.. so you might as well start now everything is on the internet you have no excuse. wonderful class i enjoyed it very much. start the clipping thesis if you do not want to fail. just do the summaries.. its not hard. start now walmart is bad...
He is a very intelligent teacher and I enjoyed his class. KEEP UP WITH THE HOMEWORK!!! Do NOT leave your clipping thesis for the last minute because you will GO INSANE!!! This class was fairly easy, as long as you did the right thing by doing your homework when you're supposed to.
One of the best Professors i've ever had!!!
I really enjoyed all his lessons because he used real life situations to teach the main factors of the topic. He is fun and not boring and the best teacher I've ever had!
What an intelligent man!!!! He knows so much about everything and shares his life experiences with us to get a clear picture of his topics. This is an amazing class. The best class I've had yet. If you are a full time employee and student BEWARE.LOL Regardless, he is great and really makes you see things from a different perspective. Thanks Hoff
Professor Hoffman is cool and its a fun class up until the last 2 weeks of the semester. So always remain focus.
Stay on top of the HOMEWORKS!
The best class at BMCC. Do the clipping thesis DURING the semester not at the end!Can't be easier than that. I LOVE THE RUBIKS CUBE, I'm addicted to it after Hoffman showd us how to do it. =)
Class was an A. Stay on top on Hw.
Very interesting class and the professor knew what he was talking about.Class is fairly easy if you stay on top of work.Stay on point with the homework or the clipping thesis will creep up on you @ the last minute=no bueno!
Great Class...You guys are going to read this a million times and will be repeated constantly during the semester KEEP UP WITH THE CLIPPING THESIS. You'll be fine otherwise.
Best Prof.He is very interested in his students even the ones in JHS where he teaches during the day. I am very impressed with his attitude towards his students and his job. You must start the project right away and do the news paper clipping as you go along, that part is dread. This professor is very humble and likeable you can talk to him.
Hello everyone: The class is great. The professor is down to earth,cares about his students & knows his material. Just remember to do the homework when assigned at the begining of the course or else you will be VERY OVERWHELMED @ THE END..keep up with the H.W. & you will pass without a problem..talking from experience. Enjoy everyone!!!!
professor makes the course interesting and easy with his innovation and effort. I am impressed...........
FUN COURSE! Go to class, do your homework and start the clippings early! You will do fine!
Very easy class. Interesting, intuitive, lively lectures. Do the clipping thesis on time, and you won't need to really study for the exams. A very easy class to get an easy A in.
professor hoffman was extremely helpful and patient with all of his students i appreciate what he has done for me (as far as my organizational skills and demanding respect). i should have listen though when they said dont wait until the last minute to do your clipping thesis.
he is a great teacher very helpful just keep up with the homework and you will be good
Prof. Hoffman is a great teacher, as well as a supporter and educator about consumer rights. He makes the class interesting and applies the information to everyday situations. Very important, keep up with the homework and do the clipping thesis early. I enjoyed his class.
If you want 2 know about Biz take Hoffman, but u better do the homework and thesis as he advises u or the work will catch up Excellent Prof A++++++++
Good while it lasted. Stay in school. Don't do drugs.
Very cool and funny Prof. Relates lessons to real life experince which makes it easier to understands. Gives a lot of work, stay on top of it and you will PASS
Keep up with your homework or you'll be sorry like me lol.
PROF. HOFFMAN'S BUSINESS CLASS WAS VERY HELPFUL AND FUN. HE HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF TEACHING THAT MAKES HIM UNIQUE. PLEASE KEEP UP WITH THE HOMEWORK... PLEASE, IF YOU WAIT FOR THE LAST MINUTE YOU'RE GOING TO IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.... PENALTY FOR NOT DOING HOMEWORK IS D***H.. FILL IN THE BLANKS.. OVERALL EXCELLENT PROFESSOR
He is a nice professor, recommend foreign students to take his class.
Likes to pretend that he is a tough guy, but he is really a "softie" who cares about his students and wants them to succeed!
Love Prof Hoffman, I learned so much. Make sure you do clipping thesis, don't leave for last minute
This is an easy A if you have a schedule of tough classes. Lots of work, but it is not bad at all if you keep up with the homework. IF YOU READ THE NEXT FEW WORDS YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS CLASS: Find your articles as you do the HW and the clipping thesis will take care of itself. DO NOT WAIT OR YOU'LL HAVE AN INTERESTING TIME SEMESTER END
keep up with the home work
Great teacher
enjoyable class
He gave a lot of information, things I did not know before. He is very good and has his students' interests at heart, but he talked too much about his day students. He taught every chapter in class via a big screen so we did not need the book in class but he would never let us leave early. I love his style. God bless him. Thank you.
REALLY GREAT
he is a very good teacher. you learn alot.
GREAT!!
Prof. Hoffman is great. Make sure you complete all assignments.
This is one professor who knowns how to teach and know what a student need to be motivated. Prof:Hoffman is the best professor I ever had. lots of work but he make the work very clear and understanding. my four weeks with him was hard work but it was worth it. If I had to do this class over. I will do it in a heart beat with prof: Hoffman.SmartGuy.
Prof Hoff, is one of the best I ever met at BMCC, he explains his work crystal clear.Doin the Clipping Thesis is very important, it is worth almost half of ur grade.I work full time and took his class in the winter ses, it was alil tough but it the end I got an A, which was worth it the hard work. His teaching is worth comming to class to everyday.
What a fabulous environment Professor Hoffman creates weaving stories through his fascinating lectures. One leaves the classroom chuck full of information effortlessly. And what fun he makes Business!
Professional. Highly recommend!!!
Very good Prof, he gives you the answers for test! thats so easy all you have to do is the homework and the project. Overall good professor and would recommend
excellent professor very helpful and explains everything in detail i think his the best professor i have ever had and he is very knowledgeable about business. his lectures are very fun and easy to understand best business professor BMCC had to offer.
Best professor i ever had
Awesome Teacher
A professor who has detailed knowledge about business.
Great teacher!!!
Professor Hoffman is the best. He is very friendly knowledgeable person. His class is very easy, as long as you do your homework on time. But keep in mind, you will have to do a lot of writing.
He's very bright, interesting, and a wealth of vital information. Students beware: if you'e not serious about a career in business to include mathematics, marketing and logic, then this is not the professor for you. You must be willing to complete much of the assignments within a timely manner, to the extent, that there are time tables. Tadree
Prof. hoff. is a great teacher! prob the best teacher i've had. Clearly explains everything that needs to be done. But be careful, if you dont do your homework on time you will struggle at the end, SO DO YOUR HOME WORK!!
This guy was awesome!!Make sure you do the work all of the work!
Best Business professor BMCC has very clear about his work great way to teach makes you want to stay there forever. fun, very knowledgeable, and accurate with his class and he's also very helpful and funny too. ^___^
Prof Hoffman is awesome!!! DO NOT procrastinate when it comes to doing his homework. I definetly learned my lesson :o). Fantastic class!!
he was actually helpful, and useful as a professor and helped his students to the best of their ability.He taught with clarity and was very honest and patient alot of these proffessors dont have that and i can say he does
A well informed Prof.
He did a very good job with this course.
real professional
By far one of the best professors i have had. He made the class super easy and exciting to learn. Nothing like my other professors. I recommend Prof Hoffman for EVERYONE. You cannot possibly fail this class. Just dont leave the articles and the chapters for last, always keep up with them besides that testing is EASY! again BEST PROFESSOR!
He's awesome!!! take him!! Congrats Prof Hof on your 200+ ratings!!! BELIEVE THE HYPE.
great class make sure you do your portfolio unless you do not wish to pass; he tends to reapeat himself lol but great sense of humor i recommend it
Great professor! Very helpful and easy going person. Has a lot of experience in the area and gladly shared it with the students. Watched a lot of movies connected to the subject. You have to do a portfolio, which has to be 100% your work, one essay, and 4-5 tests. He gave a study materials for each test. I would definitely recommend him!
Very easy going.Made each class fun and relaxing.If you do all the work and show up for each class it's a show A.Thank you professor Hoffman, you are one of the best professors in BMCC!
Very helpful and knowledgable prof. I like the old school approach of his teaching method.. Funny, responsible and interesting..
Teacher made the class easily understood and enjoyable.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!!! HE KNOWS HIS MATERIAL
Great professor. The class was very interesting, especially about the history of the super wealthy families of NY state. I did learned that you do not have to shout to be heard.
Funny Character
Awesome class!!! His teaching method is different but it works, keeps you interested. Things can seem a bit all over the place but it comes together at the end. Show up to class, do the work - you will get an A. The best part you actually leave his class having learned a thing or two and he?s funny. Take his class, you won't regret it.
Great teacher! Just go to class. Study guide will make sure you get an A on all exams. Very easy. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He is very funny, tells lots of stories and jokes and makes the topics interesting.
Him and his red suspenders made the semester fun and I learned alot from him. The dude is like a walking internet he knows alot about everything hahahha. A true Brooklynite
Prof. Hoffman is very knowledgeable. His story teaching methods was really effective. I looked forward to his class after work simply because I found his class to be that interesting. Don't procrastinate with the homework and you'll be fine.
I recommend him strongly
Great professor. With tons of knowledge. Very funny. And down to earth. Very easy to pass the class if you attend and you do all your work. And pass the class.. it was a pleasure having him as a teacher. It wouldn't have been so easy if it was another.
Professor Hoffman is an exceptional professor. His delivery of the subject is with such clarity that makes it easy to comprehend. I am very pleased to know that profesors of this caliba still exist, and are interested in the outcome of each child while being mindful of society and the changes without downgrading their standards yet finds commongrou
All good!
I enjoyed this business class. I learned more from Professor Hoffman than my other business professor from last semester.
Great professor. Made the class fun and interesting. I'd recommend him to others in my school.
Great Professor! VERY INTELLIGENT AND WELL VERSED. EASY GOING AND HELPFUL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR YOU BUSINESS CLASSES. I LEARNT ALOT FROM HIM. THANK YOU PROFESSOR J. HOFFMAN
He's very knowledgeable, however, all he does is show movies. Exams are easy. Beware, he's disorganized.
Its hard to in touch with him if you have questions.
PROFESSOR HOFFMAN IS FUNNY, INTERESTING, AND INTELLIGENT. I DEFINITELY ENJOYED MY BUSINESS CLASS THIS SEMESTER.
This professor is very wise, but not a good instructor. The whole semester was spent watching movies. Instructions on homework assignments was given 2 weeks before the semester ended, which was a challenge for most. Besides that, no challenge as he gave a study guide with answers to each test. Very boring, will never take another class with him.
It should have been called theater class. We watched movies every week. Assigned 14 homeworks, an essay, and a clipping thesis about 2 weeks before the class ended. Rarely went over the chapters in the book and rarely did classroom discussions on the topics in the book. Will not recommend this professor.
Professor Hoffman is a great teacher. Very knowledgeable and funny. He shows a lot of movies but you learn a lot. Don't leave the clipping thesis or Facebook paper for the last few weeks!
Very Knowledgeable Proffesor, keeps his students entertained, helps to expand your knowledge about business. work is not hard do it and its an easy A. shows lots of movies lmao! highly recomended
Way the best Prof I had at BMCC,not becoz the class was interested but becoz he makes it be,he is so knowledgeable & know his stuff well,he talks about real life events which kept me awake,just make sure to do the summaries(summary of all 17 chapters of the book)from the start, don't wait!!!and its gonna be an easy A,4 easy exams with study guide!!
Best professor I've ever had at Bmcc. Easy A. Tests with study guides and takes 5 minutes to answer them all in the class
Great with students
Prof Hoffman is a great professor, he is really knowledgeable and makes every lecture really interesting with a lot of fun facts. Take him!
good professor who has given us the classify information
Professor Hoffman is the man his class was a pleasure
Mr hoffman was a really cool professor. We had fun and everyone seemed to like the class . It was a great experience and i would probably recommend him to other students.
Tells a lot of stories based on his experiences in life but nothing really about Marketing as a subject or that really reflects the textbook material. Test did not follow any of the study guides he gave, and doesn't teach from the book, made the test harder than it needed to be. Disappointed with the class and won't be recommending this professor
Great professor! If you do your work, you will pass! Every week gives homework which is good to review yourself, tests sometimes are tought! But anyway this is college! HOPE To take him again!
no thanks, won't be taking again. Not very clear on turning in a marketing plan beside to Google it. Seriously?
So basically he gave us 4 test. Then after every class you have to do a summary of all the chapters, and its like 20 in total . The chapters are really long. We also had to do a marketing plan which he was never clear about . You definitely have to really work hard to get a good grade in this class.
The study guide doesn't help with the tests, the summaries are annoying on turnitin, the class is boring. I sometime think I wasted money purchasing the book because he send powerpoints. He does respond to your emails. If anything, this class could have moved faster so everything would be covered better for the finals.
4 exams, a clipping thesis and a marketing plan. I worked really hard to get an A on the clipping thesis and the marketing plan and two of the exams, but still got a B at the end of the day. Take someone else if you wanna get an A, even if you work for it, you're probably not gonna get it. Otherwise his lectures were all really interesting.
4.6 rating? This must be a joke. By far the worse professor in BMCC. Never follows up, does not give any updates or grades back throughout the semester. I had A's in every other class except his.
Professor Hoff is one of the best English teachers Ive came across. His work is fair and hes understanding and helpful when it comes to his work. I would take this class again and wouldve hope he taught my other English classes. Hes very considerate and loves feedback about the work he hands out so he takes into account what to make fair.
