Professor Poff is an amazing teacher. He is super funny with plenty of good stories. There is tons of extra credit and you geniunely have to try to fail his class. My favorite professor so far. He's super helpful no textbook because he knows what he's doing. Dismisses early a lot and is super helpful and fun. 100% recommend him for public speaking.

Professor Poff is definitely one of the best professors Ive had. He is extremely entertaining, understanding, and smart. He gave good tips and has helped with my speech anxiety. Make sure you show up and keep up on memorizing speeches and dont wait last minute or its gonna be awkward. :/

Professor Poff has taught me to not be scared of speaking up. His class was one of the most fun classes I've taken. He's hilarious & really knows how to give good advice. The speeches are not difficult, as long as you put in the time and effort to construct & learn them. He teaches his class at a steady pace which makes the class less stressful.

This professor is the best professor I had ever had. There is no anyone nearly as nice as him. You don't understand anything in class? He will stack back and help you! Very easy A! if you don't attend class or miss a speech there is a 100pt extra credit activity. Anyone can PASS with a A!

Comment:

Friendly, but easily irritated if you don't grasp concepts well. Wants his class to know each other (spent first few weeks learning about our fellow students). Very fun class, good lectures, couple of group activities. Fair grader, and also gives so much extra credit I could have passed with over 100% (I didn't due to time constraints). Good prof.

Super easy and wants you to pass so you have a good GPA. Very funny teacher and makes class interesting. Replies kind of slow to emails so you should just ask in person. A lot of extra credit. You can skip a whole speech and end up with an A. You literally have to do nothing in this class to not pass.

Comment:

He builds you to be a strong and confident public speaker. As long as you follow the criteria for the speeches and practice, you'll do well. One speech will need to be memorized. Make sure you show up on your speaking days and on time. Exams are open book and he gives extra credit. He requires an outside of class speech so keep that it mind.

Comment:

Really cares that you become a better speaker. The class gets harder as it progresses but as long as you take his advise and practice how he advises you'll be fine. The most difficult part of the class is just working up the courage to give speeches, but as you get to know your class better it gets easier. Open book quizzes, graded by few things.

Lectures are the most important thing, miss them, and you fail. There is a textbook, but he mostly grades on performance and participation. However, you won't get an 'A' if you don't read the text, that's what his lectures are on. Easy grader, and is hilarious. You'll never learn more about public speaking than if you learned it from Poff!

I attended his night class. The syllabus was given on first day of class, expectations were clear. I enjoyed that he was straight to the point and not lecture heavy. Answered emails in a timely manner. Class made public speaking/speech not as scary. 100% would recommend him.

You want an easy A? This is the class to take! You want extra credit? He has numerous loads of ways to get them. You suck at tests? He will ALWAYS allow you to use your book during them. Overall, his class was just so easy. All he wants is for you to have the balls to go infront of the class and speak despite how boring or dull your speech is.

He is a Greta guy I loved him as a teacher but also as a mentor honestly. He is making lyrics fair with your grade, you need your book only for tests, dont miss your speech date, participate, and he gives really great feedback. Very hilarious lectures but great and informational.
