Reviews of professor Darren Penn

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Penn is really nice. He's super smart, very funny, and down to earth. He's young but knows nothing about social media which I think is funny. Class was cool, we read some poems and stuff online then talked about it. He replies to emails is always available during office hours and it always friendly. I couldn't imagine a better professor.

Dr. Penn is awesome, and I didn't really like poetry. Reading load isn't terrible. He's super nice if you don't read and will help out. Assignments were clear, and he goes over them a lot. He was always available for questions. If you put in effort, you'll do fine. I learned so much about reading, poetry, and life from him.

Horrible, do not take this class. Penn does not express what he is looking for in a paper and he will not give out A's. Do not take

Great teacher and guy. Didn't think I liked poetry and then I took his class. Good at engaging students and actually does give out A's. Also nice dresser and great voice

Even as someone who has had a lot of past experience in writing, I struggled in this class. The expectations are very high for an intro writing class and the feedback is often unclear. Can be understanding with extensions but is quick to assume you are not working if you do not participate regularly and ignores emails.

He's awesome! Hands down best prof I've had. He's really nice and easy to talk to in and out of class. Reading can be a bit heavy, but he's very cool if you don't read. He makes you work for the ideas but you feel smarter after--lol--its some inspirational stuff. I'll miss him. Dude dresses like an IG model. Don't miss his class.

Prof Penn is awesome. He's one of the best professors I've ever had! Class was discussion heavy, which was cool. He always checks in to make sure we understand reading or assignments, so you're not left in dark about stuff. He is really understanding and kind and really helps you do well in class.

Dr. Penn was always really accessible and kind. The whole class is three papers so pretty light work load. Dr. Penn is really passionate about poetry and wants his students to succeed. Tough grader but notices and rewards you for putting in the effort.
