Jon is extremely helpful. I loved his class and his assignments were always fun. The class got to discuss work in a circle and it was extremely comfortable. He treated everyone as an equal. He definitely made me a better writer.

Humorous, insightful, helpful, if a bit pompous. Kinda creepy to women I hear, but I wish I could have taken all of his classes.

Dr. Volkmer is an amazing teacher and inspiration. I remember being scared of him my freshman year...but by the time I graduated he was my favorite teacher. Definitely take his classes. He's a great dude.

Volkmer's a cool dude. Can be kind of unclear and even rude, but a smart and helpful prof overall. Great for both creative writing classes and lit stuff.

Comment:
He is not clear and gives us quizzes in a discussion based class... and also for each discussion we're supposed to have, he just keeps talking and never lets anyone else speak. He also expects us to re-write an essay, and have NOTHING be the same.

Structured the course so he would have the least amount of actual teaching possible. He made **** comments and came on to girls in the class.

He was very enthusiastic. Really got into the lessons. Some of his writing assigments were tricky, but hard work would always yield results.
