The other ratings are right in saying he has a large ego. Sure, he spells everything out in the wordy syllabus, but he doesn't accommodate. Be ready to read/watch everything at least a day before the class (he tracks when you watch the videos- even before class doesn't count), participate daily, and come on time or else he'll give you a zero.MGMT3340 2026-09-21 18:14:27 +0000 UTC
he is a great professor. makes your really think like a consultant and is very clear and thorough about his expectations.HRMG6220 2021-07-18 20:37:20 +0000 UTC
Prof. Hoff will make you work for an A, but you will learn A LOT in his couse. He requires attendance to lectures and readings outside of class, all of which helps with the learning of the material. Recommended.ORGB3201 2017-06-26 10:21:43 +0000 UTC
If you think differently, good luckMGMT3340 2026-07-29 04:58:52 +0000 UTC
Dr. Hoff has great expertise in his field so you will learn a lot in this course. He is a tough grader so make sure you ask questions or visit office hours to talk about your ideas regarding the paper. Participation matters so do the readings and come prepared. Not an easy class but very worth taking if you're willing to put in the work.MGMT3340 2025-12-11 23:01:46 +0000 UTC
Dr. Hoff is genuinely the best professor I have had at Northeastern. If you go to class, participate, do the readings, and read the rubric for the paper clearly, you can get an A. He makes his expectations very clear and he creates a class environment that actually promotes having conversations with your peers. You will learn so much in this class!MGMT3340 2025-12-11 16:57:25 +0000 UTC
He has in depth knowledge of healthcare, but his ego makes it hard to appreciate. He comes across as arrogant, which can make interactions challenging. Also, be aware that he uses a tracking system to monitor how long students interact with his modules. NEU could benefit from a more student friendly and more supportive approach in this department.MGMT3340 2025-03-13 23:52:46 +0000 UTC
Just talks for the entire time most classes. Makes it impossible to finish with an A because there are so few grades and he's very tough. Really high expectations of your healthcare knowledge and expects a high level of nuance. Definitely challenges the way you think and write, but I wish this were done without making grades such a major stressor.MGMT3340 2024-12-17 01:59:39 +0000 UTC
Professor Hoff is highly engaged with his students and really cares about each individual's learning. He leaves tons of feedback but is a pretty tough grader. The class isn't easy at all, but you will learn a lot.MGMT3340 2024-11-20 22:14:09 +0000 UTC
Pros: Excellent lecturer and interesting content. Cons: he puts way too much pressure on students. Much heavier emphasis on your grades than actually understanding/enjoying the course content. Content is easy to comprehend, but his grading is VERY subjective. Grading system is disappointing because class could be way more compelling!MGMT3340 2024-02-29 17:46:39 +0000 UTC
Smart professor but sets very high expectations. Puts strict word limits on assignments but then always subtracts points for not adding enough details. If you spend a lot of time on his readings and follow his directions you should do well.MGMT3340 2023-12-20 16:54:26 +0000 UTC
Smart dude who thinks a great deal of himself. Condescending and not open to discussion. Thinks he is da man.MGMT3340 2023-01-22 03:06:08 +0000 UTC
Gives clear instructions and expectations. Requires a decent amount of work but is manageable. Be organized and start projects early.MGMT3340 2022-11-07 18:47:09 +0000 UTC
Professor Hoff treats you like a consultant and expects a lot from his students, but he is very clear about his expectations. His feedback is very direct, but it's meant to help you. You will definitely learn a lot about the healthcare system if you put in the effort.MGMT3340 2022-06-04 03:59:47 +0000 UTC
Professor Hoff is very professional and organized. He has very clear expectations and wants students to succeed. That being said, the course load can get heavy sometimes. His assignments take a lot of effort, but students also learn a lot!MGMT3340 2022-03-29 20:49:50 +0000 UTC
