Hilarious professor. While classes aren't exactly "fun", they could be a lot more boring. Assignments seem difficult at first, but he grades pretty leniently and I imagine it would be pretty difficult to fail his class.ENGL3302 2013-09-03 00:46:59 +0000 UTC
Very fair. Knows that AWD is required and helps you write a paper that you actually want to write. He'll guide you in the right direction and is flexible. As long as you put any sort of work in you'll do more than fine.ENGL3301 2011-08-31 20:31:48 +0000 UTC
Jeff is a great professor! So nice and understanding. He's very relaxed and definitely relates to his students. He's definitely one of the coolest professors ive had at NU.AWDAWD 2011-05-10 09:07:45 +0000 UTC
if you got jeffrey you lucked out. he gives good feedback on papers and usually only uses half his lecture time, unless of course he decides to play an episode of the simpsons or futurama in class.ENG111 2008-10-07 15:18:59 +0000 UTC
