Turn off your phone promptly before class and follow all of Hoffy's rules. Keep all your papers, even the homework, during and after the class is over since they make a good review. Do quizlet and conjuguemos at least 5 minutes a day for practice. Review your notes before any test. If you're goofing off during class, don't bother coming. Hoffy doesn't appreciate it and takes class time away to deal with misbehavior.

Hoffy is decent in my opinion. I have no doubt anyone can learn the material with her help, but she lacks the firmness to enforce her rules and focus on the material. Be prepared for her to waste time on problem kids if your class has them. Her tests never felt challenging and almost all of the material is on quizlet and conjuguemos. Even more so, she has personalized notes that help understand the material.
