Comment:

To be in his class, it seems he expects you to be an English major. He's nice-ish but the feedback he gives on my poems were pretty harsh and honestly made me not care about what I wrote anymore. I lost my interest in poetry and I don't think I will ever write another poem after his class. He killed it for me. But he's nice I guess.

Comment:

He seemed like a chill professor at first as long as you did your work. Once you get into the middle of the semester with him, you begin to see he plays favorites, grades harshly and unfairly without much explanation why. He also puts students down when you give an opinion about the poem or reading that is assigned. Makes you not want to talk.

Comment:

Mock was an absolute pleasure. He will steer you away from your comfort zones and expand on your creative skills. I had no clue I enjoyed writing until I had to for this class. He has extremely high expectations for all of his students. You are in charge of a poem and peer critiques by weekly. Surprising, I loved it and really enjoyed his class!

Comment:

Taking Intro. to Poetry Writing with Prof. Mock has been an absolute delight. He is specific from what he expects from students and if you do the work, it's impossible to get a bad grade. I always looked forward to attending class and am ecstatic to have taken this course. I highly recommend him, you absolutely cannot go wrong. The poems are great.

Comment:

Professor enjoys seeing improvement within your works. Buy the books! Find your special interest in the subjects and he will appreciate your enthusiasm. Although, he is not so personal as you would like a professor-teacher relationship to be when it comes to critiquing your work. So be aware of your personal progress.

Comment:

Had him for both Intro and Intermediate poetry. He is flexible with everyone's style of writing poetry and at the same time serious in explaining how poetry works. Put effort in work/revisions.Attendance is a must.Slackers are not cool so keep skip record to 0/2. Follow his advice when you go back to revise along with a few classmates' critiques.

Jeff is the man. He (and Rosso) were the only reasons I came to school. He's fun and our class really bonded as friends and writers- not something that happens often. If he were teaching intermediate next semester, I'd be there with bells on. Awesome teacher.

Nice guy, easy to talk to and likes to have fun and joke around with his class and students, but also has a serious side and gets down to business when needed to. Had him 3 semesters in a row and will miss having him as a teacher.

He makes class very comfortable and will have one on one meetings with his students to discuss their writing and the class as a whole. Very open to suggestions and available for help. A nice and funny guy.
