He is a fair instructor. Sometimes it's fun in his class but he thinks that everybody breathes, eats, and****s english. There are numerous back-to-back essays and the topics aren't too bad but the applications are. He can be very anal and snotty at times and he picks favorites. Wouldn't take again.

This professor is good, but he does give alot of work. He gives four essays which are very difficult because he is strict on how he grades and is not very lenient. Take plenty of notes when he is lecturing because all that stuff is either on the Final Exam or quizzes or homework assignments. Overall, you will need to work hard to get a good grade.

Took him as my first dual credit teacher and I loved his class! Will answer any questions and responds quickly, gives great feedback, he's funny and the work isn't hard. As long as you follow deadlines and pay attention to the readings, the exams are easy. I loved his class and would definitely take him again. He's been my favorite teacher so far

I take this class as a dual credit student in high school. He is very helpful and gives you everything you need to pass. All you have to do is show you are trying and for the most part he will be helpful when you need it. He gives many opportunities to get extra credit points. But it is a lot of reading be ready to read!

I took his class for dual credit. Although it might have been a lot of reading, I can say that he wants you to succeed. I hate reading, but all the stories he selected to read were all very intriguing. If you have questions feel free to ask him anything and a majority of the time, at least from my experiences, he will respond within the hour.

If you have the chance to take this professor, do it!! I was hesitant about this class because I am not a fan of English literature but he made it so easy! He is very straight forward about his grading. A lot of reading to do but prioritizing will help you get it done. He gives extra credit and weekly jokes with are very nice! highly recommend

Professor Poff‘s grading is extremely harsh and inconsistent. Even when carefully following the rubric and meeting all the requirements, you'll never receive full credit. He frequently questions whether essays are AI-generated, even though they are not. On top of that, there's no extra credit. I strongly suggest looking into other professors.

Honestly, Professor Poff was one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He was super rude for no reason and made the class way more stressful than it needed to be. He definitely didn't make students feel welcome. I don't know how he's even a professor with how he treats people. Would not recommend his class at all

I just finished taking this course as a dual credit student and I must say, Professor Poff sure knows what he's doing! His feedback on essays and other writing assignments is very helpful! While there was a handful of work, the assignments were interesting and weren't overwhelming. In addition to this, his jokes make this class more entertaining!

He wasn't very helpful and kind of made the class harder than it needed to be. He had a weird attitude most of the time and didn't seem to care if students were confused or needed help. Wish I could've dropped this class.

I was fine with the class, but the final straw was when Professor Poff refused to round my 89.88 to a 90. It's literally right there. Most teachers would round that up, but he didn't budge at all. Just shows how little he cares. Overall, not a great experience and definitely wouldn't take him again.

A LOT of reading. This professor graded very strictly. To do well, you had to be super detailed-oriented with your work. On the positive side, he was very responsive to emails and showed kindness if he could see you were genuinely putting in effort. Just a heads-up: every submission was checked with an AI detector.
