Barbara Hofer

Great class. Barb is clearly very passionate about positive psychology and did everything she could to make the class very interactive and ensure everyone participated. Her grading is very critical, but fair, and I feel like my writing greatly improved while in her class. She encourages introspection and to apply what you learn in her class to your daily life.

Honestly Barbara is very professional and insightful. She was always very understanding yet firm. I appreciate her insight always. She has a way of giving you affirmation without buttering your buns...and can just as easily give you criticism in the same constructive manner.

Beyond being a deeply knowledgeable person on positive psychology, she also knows how to maintain an engaging and inclusive classroom environment. She encourages participation and discussion in class, most notably, how a student's unique background may affect how they perceive class content. She sometimes has her "quirky" moments, but Barbara is a joy and encouraging professor. This is a solid class!
