"ehneeweh." very engaging professor, manages to make the class seem smaller by his intense interest in the attention paid by his students. made me sorry i had to take his class again because i ignored the last time i took it only because he's rea

Um, I fell asleep in the class one day and he totally called on me IN A LECTURE HALL OFF LIKE 200 STUDENTS, made me say my name and read out loud. I still think he's the best.

Duffy was so great! He was so passionate about the class and his accent was so entertaining! Tests aren't that bad if you go to lecture and he gives a lot of freedom with the paper. Great class!

Fantastic teacher. Rambles a lot, especially in the honors section, but keeps the class wholly entertaining and fascinating. Extremely helpful (sometimes too helpful, haha, which can be overwhelming sometimes) and willing to talk to you about anything you find interesting or need help understanding. And you've gotta love his accent! Yay for Duffy.

really interesting, funny, kind of silly, really really smart and expects a lot but not too much. Great professor and very smart guy, if you can take his modern literature class do it.

I can't wait to go this class, Prof. Duffy just makes it so enjoyable. He is caring towards his students and doesn't expect us to be perfect geniuses nor does he underestimate us. Way smart, way interesting, great class, gotta love it.

Duffy is wonderful, interesting, intelligent and caring. His lilting accent and passion for Irish Lit. makes these classes some of the best at UCSB. Plus, he's just super nice.

Go to his office hours- he is so helpful and LOVES meeting his students! Id never taken an English class before and he spent hours with me helping me understand everything from the grading and expectations to the material to UCSB in general.

Very inspiring

He made me love college my first semester, taking his 'Cybergothic' class through CCS. He knows his****, and he's not afraid to use his massive intellect. And you know what? He's really, really nice.

He could get interesting at times but he reads aloud in class too much and repeats himself a lot. Sometimes I walk out of class feeling that I got nothing out of it but he does make you think sometimes. He is kinda funny and has appealing accent.

a rarity at any university, an actual teacher

THIS IS A GOOD GUY. likes to have people read and recite in lecture, but in a friendly kind of way. dont be afeared
