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

Professor Duffy is the best professor in my college career thus far.

He really knows his stuff, and he gives you a lot of slack (except on the tests).

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

very humorous. He makes people recite poems.

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