Comment:
Really nice guy. Gives awesome tidbits of information that helps non-Natives understand certain aspects of the books. If you actually pay attention, his lectures are interesting (even though sometimes he repeats stuff). He does talk softly so I suggest sitting towards the front and talking really loud when you're asking him a question.

Comment:
Pr. Hobson is a nice person, undoubtedly knowledgeable, but he was the most boring professor I've ever had. As an exchange student, I was looking forward to knowing more about NA culture, and was very disappointed. He just rambles the whole class about his life and uninteresting anecdotes. We never discussed (not even once) the readings we had.

Professor Hobson explains native literature in an accessible way and is always approachable and willing to help students. His knowledge of the field and connections to important native writers is unmatched!

I don't remember anything at all about this class except this: Professor Hobson took frequent breaks, which he explained candidly to us. He said he drinks a LOT of water, and he had to, um, expel it. Thanks for the memory, Geary.

Terribly, terribly boring class, but easy. A very nice professor overall and the workload isn't too bad. Takes forever to grade papers and exams.

Comment:
He is a very sweet man. Yes, if you do the work, you will achieve an A. However, I found you can't think for yourself. He may interpret the literature different than you which irritates him.

I agree with the last comment. I don't know how he is allowed to keep teaching. He makes a lot of comments in his class that can be offensive to a wide range of students regardless of background. But it was an easy A.

Comment:
Dr. Hobson is undoubtedly knowledgeable; however, he is an easy read and doesn't challenge his students. He gives students a very formulaic way to look at literature and no one, native or non-native, is allowed to step outside the parameters he sets.
