Even though this class had extremely tedious assignments, and his voice is super monotone, DeHoff helps you get ready for the real design world. You can redo ALL your assignments and he is always there to help!

Really great professor who knows his stuff! Always willing to go out of his way to make sure you understand, and does a ton of outside work students. Actually cares about making sure you produce quality design, and helps you get there.

DeHoff is a great teacher, yes the lectures are tedious but the work is fun and you actually DO learn a lot about type. He does a good job in preparing people new to the GD program.

Wants kids to succeed! He helps you refine you designs and allows you to retake tests, and redo assignments. Wants you to walk away with the knowledge. Terribly boring lectures, but is a very nice and gentle man. Fun assignments, and you will have lots of portfolio ready pieces.

I love B. Took him for Letterform (boring lectures but fun assignments) and GD1. He will bend over backwards for you. Try his best to make YOU succeed. You can redo assignments for a better grade. He is a hard grader and only assigns portfolio worthy material A's, definitely nice to know. Can be your best friend. Just awesome.

I love Bill! He's extremely knowledgeable about the subject and is always willing to help with anything. He can be boring to listen to, but what he's saying is always important or relates somehow. I took him for GD1 and letterform and think he's a great prof. with good ideas. Plus, he always lets you redo projects for a better grade.

DeHoff is okay. He's a great introduction to graphic design, but he'll never push you. Letterform is great with him, It's super boring, but it's such a crutial thing to be taught early in a design education.

Oh My God! The most boring class I have ever taken. I had to check my pulse to make sure I was still alive. He is such a perfectionist. I turned in one assignment like thirty times and I traced them and he still found something wrong with them.

Really a boring class. Subject manner alone describes this class. Lectures are mono-tone. Hard to stay awake.

One of the best profs. I have ever come in contact with. He is a vault of information and is always willing to help as much as he possibly can. He always has a useful comment and can be quite amusing on occasion. He is patient and understanding and I only wish that more profs. could be like him!

The guy is a GD genius. He always came to class with examples to look at to expand your GD vocabulary. He is very helpful and has the personality that reminds you of your grandfather; warm and understanding.

Great teacher - you can really see the vast ammount of knowledge he has accumulated. He is able to pick up on every detail and every relationship you can imagine when it comes to to graphic design. Really nice, and helpful guy. And he will do more work outside of class for you than any one else.

I've had Dehoff 4 times and even if you have him once you will find he repeats himself a lot. He is very encouraging, and always wants you to do even better. He is very long winded, but his dorky jokes, will always make the class easier.

DeHoff is an excellent prof! He is genuine, honest, talented and brilliant. He truly cares for his students; he'll remember you long after you are gone and will be happy to support you as you pursue a career (provided you weren't a total slacker.) Like I said, he's honest. Great guy. Great prof!

DeHoff is a great guy, tons of knowledge, always willing to help. Good hearted, totally friendly. Here's a quote from a critique: "It's like you did a forward dive in the olympics, even if it was technically sound, it won't impress judges. Frankly, yours isn't technically sound."

Always willing to help you out. He can get long winded during crits and lectures, but he can see potential and encourages the best in you. He doesn't play favorites and is willing to help everyone. He actually enjoys teaching teaching, too.

He was not a good teacher at all!! Not helpful at all and when it came to the end of the semester he told me that I could have changed so many things and that I was too creative!! I thought he was a terrible teacher!!
