Without a doubt one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. He caters to every students individual needs and cares about YOU even if you don't care about yourself. Whether you are an A or F student this guy genuinely wants to see you do well. While he teaches English the most Important thing you will walk away from is the ability to think

A brilliant man, who inspired me in so many facets of my life. I did not need his classes to obtain my degree, but after taking one class I had to continue taking his classes, as they stimulated my mind and challenged me constantly to aspire to greatness. Dr. Charles Poff empowers and inspires his students in ways that most professors fall short.

Poff is the definition of what you want a teacher to be. He genuinely cares about his students and he always makes you laugh. My favorite part of the last two years has been his class. I cried on the last day only because I wouldn't have him ever again. If you have to take English, take Poff!

As the first college ENG I was expecting a tedious, useless course. To my surprise, it was the more practical and intellectually stimulating (in a good way!) than all four years of HS! 6 absences you should fail the course per syllabus, however, if you're bright, respectful, and make an effort but having a hard time adjusting he may take off less
