Disengaged. Uneffective. Unresponsive. Extremely Picky! Class didn't seem to reflect course objective. The course is about ancient literature, and he weighs the grades HEAVILY on your technical ability to write a paper (which is more of ENG 101 objective). No interaction between students or teacher. Vote with your feet. Transfer out now!!

This class has to be one of the most frustrating classes I have taken thus far. I took his online course, and his directions for the daily assignments are very unclear.When asked for a clearer explanation of what he is looking for, he redirects you to his handouts or his stupid book (that he help to cowrite), which make no sense. I thought I was

His class was the most frustrating class I have ever taken. I hated English because of his class. When you ask him to clear things up he tells you to go to his handouts that don't make sense and have misspelled words. He won't answer your e-mail if you don't have correct grammar.

Very poor attitude comes pouring out at you from the first day through the last. Professional abilities? Sure he's able to be a professional, he just chooses to be rude. Does and should nit-pick. However, he should not consider himself to be a better expert on everything because he is the teacher and you are not. Stay away unless truly interested.

He lacks personality and communication with students. He does not respond to emails and fails to tell you how to improve your work or where you went wrong. I do not recommened this professor unless you want a challenge.

This teacher was unbearable! I was a straight A student and now barely getting a D. He grades unbeliveably hard and on the most technical things rather then substance of the literary work. Stay Away!

If you want to learn this guy isn't for you. Possibly the worst teacher I have ever had. He doesn't care about his students, and his grading scale is horrible. For homework he made us copy paragraphs out of the horrible book that he wrote. STAY FAR AWAY THIS GUY IS BAD.

Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT take this class. Find another professor! I just finished the summer session and the average grade was around 50%. Most of the students are very upset, including myself. I really hope that you read this before enrolling in this course. If not, your screwed.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. This Guy Does Not offer any Help of any kind. I am only in Eng 100 and i have four books to read. I also have a assignment due every night before 8. He leaves NO room for error. If you have a mistake he will tell you that you have a mistake but he doesn't show you how to improve. HORRIBLE TEACHER!!!!!

Horrible teacher! I asked for clarification, and he still graded very harshly even though I did exactly what he said to. The books and movies were very interesting, he is just a poor teacher. I received one of the highest grades in class, a C+!

Horrible. His notes will tell you to write one thing and then he will disagree with them once you turn your essay in. He has graded weirder than any professor I've ever had and with only 3 essays and two quizzes you are pretty much set up to fail. Please don't take this course!

This is the last professor you would want. He expects perfection. Horrible class, and horrible professor. He doesn't want to help. Honestly, he shouldn't even teach. He doesn't know how to. So boring and critical with no explanations. Don't take his class.

Professor Todd Moffet gave daily assignments that were not worth anything, yet he took away points for not doing it. Also, he is a very tough grader and he graded essays as if i was taking a much higher English. Lastly, this professor did not give ANY positive feedback, always negative. Would not take again.

Do your self a favor and find another teacher. Almost impossible to get a good grade in this class regardless the amount of preparation put into it. Half of his lecture is wrong information, deals a lot with theology in a Literature class. Terribly harsh grader, won't help you with topics on your papers and then says he hates your topics.

The reading material for this course was insane. This is a 102 class, but with all the reading, it seemed much harder. He's a super harsh grader. He grades on your opinions as well. You shouldn't be graded on your opinion , it's YOUR opinion. Hard to get a fantastic grade with this class.

This is the hardest teacher I've ever had. If you think you're good at English think twice before choosing "Professor Moffett" (as he demands to be called) as your teacher if you don't want to lose your confidence. I'd be lying if I said he wasn't a smart man, but he's a horrible teacher.

Tons of assignments! You must purchase the books he has written as well. I had 4 different books for english 100. What bothered me the most was his writing assignments, he would dock me for not getting personal. He gave extra credit assignments that could only be done if you had purchased the book he wrote :/

I would NEVER take Todd again. He nit picks at petty stuff on your essays. Then when you correct things for the next assignment he STILL says you did it wrong. In lectures he goes on and on and on. I took him for Eng 223 & that was the biggest mistake of my college journey. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Do NOT take him. He is to cruel when it comes to grading , everything you do will be a F even when you try your best

Had I known about this site before this semester, I would have never taken his class. I enjoy learning, and I have strong worth ethic but the amount of reading he requires is absurd. He grades VERY harshly. He is very negative and doesn't provide positive feed back. I enjoy a challenge but he un reasonable.

overall worst college experience, super tough wont help at all in terms of homework or test. waste of time and money. grades with 9s at the end and wont round up. ruined my GPA

The work is simple but too broad. When I wrote about plot analysis, I did the bare minimum and then some for good measure. When getting feedback on a paper, though, there was suddenly things that he actually wanted that he kept out of the instructions before turning in the paper. Its kind of unfair grading as well.

10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! He is the toughest grader ever. I emailed him to ask him what I did wrong with my essay format, even though I basically copied and pasted his example. He gave me a D, and didn't answer my emails. Some assignments aren't worth a grade, but if you don't do it you get points taken off???What kind of sense does that make??

Todd Moffett was an extraordinarily hard professor. i sat with the school tutors and other teachers to receive C grades on papers. Moffett was definitely the worst possible decision for an English professor.

Tough, almost cruel and completely subjective grading.

tough class, almost impossible I do not recommend

The worst college class I've ever taken. The grading is completely unfair and harsh with no extra credit. Never gave me higher than a C on an essay and I had shown it to other teachers and they said it deserved better than a C. Do not take his class unless you want to fail and have to retake repay for another class and different teachers.

He makes you do DAILY assignments which are worth 0 points or -2.5 points if you miss one. You have four essays worth 100 points that he gives vague feedback on. You will feel like you hit every criteria for his papers, but then receive nothing higher than a C. Textbooks are required (one of which he wrote and you pay for) for reading and tests.

for the papers, I followed each and every step and still got nothing better than a 75 on all my papers. Got As on all the quizzes. Class average for each paper (4 papers) was 60. This is Eng102, not a doctorate thesis! Dont take him, drop the class or you will regret it. Dont make the same mistake I did. C+ could be an A or B+ with a dif teacher

Incredibly tough grading. Hard to get high marks on the essays.

Stay away , hard work and dedication still was t enough!!

He is the worlds toughest grader ever, no matter how well you think you do or even if all the requirements are met, there is always an abundant amount of errors. Bad feedback too!

No matter how good of a paper you write you won't get over a 75 on the paper. This professor changed my grade on me last minute. I emailed to ask him how this was possibly he didn't reply. Your better off taking someone else.

Very inconsistent with grading essays! You will never get over a 75 on a essay! My essay grade was changed last minute and all my grades were averaged in with a passing grade. But when I went back my grade went down. I emailed the professor and he ignored me! He gave me no reason why my grade was lower! I would not recommend him to anyone!!

Mr.Moffett is horrible you have a journal due every day mon- friday due at 8pm. they don’t count if you do them so you’ll get a 0 but if you don’t do the journals you get a -2.5 for every journal you don’t do. There are about 6 assignments total that count towards your grade counting the essays so good luck getting an A :)

So, I took this class because I needed to meet a requirement and so I did not look him up on rate my professor. Which I regret now, I am only half way threw his class this semester and I can already let you know is to stay away. He is a harsh grader and you have homework for this class everyday, which you can only get 0 or -2.5 on.

very tough

Worst professor I ever had. I took a 16 week online course,. Moffet is very tough, and very strict at grading our essays and timelines. He gave us lots of homework to do in this class. Also, if missing a step in a 3 step timeline, you get 5 points off. I highly don't recommend to take him. You had to take someone else, other than him

Not a great teacher, did not like student athletes!!

Very tough grader was almost impossible to get an A in his class. Very hard to reach for questions, and weird grading criteria like the daily assignments weren't worth anything but if you missed it you'll lose -2.5 points??? (The good reviews here are most likely from him).

1. He asked to buy 4 books for 1 subject and he wrote 2 of them for $80 I think online! He should be a businessman not a professor. 3. Sarcastic and wants it all his way like he expects you to be as good and perfect as you will write a book like him! 4. His ways of teaching obviously doesn't help a lot of students to learn. BIG NO NO

I do not recommend this class to anyone even for those confident in their writing skills. He is not fixed with his rules. He is picky, a faultfinder, and not a teacher at all.

Class was very time consuming. Took off a lot of points on assignments for ridiculous reasons. I would NOT take this class again.

Ridiculous grading criteria. He takes off points for subjective things in the essays, and has way too many expensive grammar books (which he wrote). He does not give good feedback at all. I have earned a 3.96 since his class but his class still messed up my GPA for law school. For the love of your GPA and pocketbook, stay away!

If you miss a single essay submittion you might as well just drop the course because you have absolutely no avenue to rehabilitate your grade. There is no assignments other than four essays that are worth 100 points each. Highly would not recommend.

Just finished a semester of English 231 with this professor and his grading criteria is outrageous. My English 101 /102 classes I received great grades, but this professor will make you really work for anything over a C grade.

I would not take this professor again, I had him for my ENG100 class. If you miss an assignment he does not take late submissions and his deadlines are VERY strict. He's very picky on what hes looking for in essays with some feedback, but your lucky if you can even get anything above a C.

(ENG 223) He is extremely picky with what he wants in a paper and takes massive points off for extremely small things. When everyone saids anything above a C in this class is pure luck they aren't joking. Avoid this professor with everything. If possible take Matthew Howell and you will save yourself a bad grade on your transcipt.

HIGHLY advice finding another class. Especially if you are just doing it for the credits.

Do. Not. Take. Him. 3 essays, ~2 second-chance essays, a few quizzes, and an MLA-format free-response final. 6 fantasy books, no textbook. If MLA isn't perfect, he won't read the full essay, and you'll get a D (per syllabus), that's crucial feedback you're losing. Feedback feels subjective. Class feels like a nonstop final you're never ready for.

The Teacher asks you to read 6 books, mostly long reads, throughout the semester. Impossible unless you only had the one class. Impossible grading, I honestly do not know if it's possible to get an A in his class. He makes extra credit basically mandatory if you want a good grade; if it is not done, you most likely will get a C or lower.
