Comment:
Professor Steffes was an awesome professor. He has a great sense of humor and loves discussion. Don't be afraid to talk about anything you want related to Shakespeare or literature in general. Or life, (before class of course). I learned a lot from him. Some longer papers too, so be careful if you're not an English major.

I loved having Dr. Steffes. His class was very chill but at the same time helped me so much with my writing. He gives great feedback and really does help you to grow as a writer.

Comment:
I loved taking english 150 with this professor. He has a dry witty sense of humor, and isn't a super high energy person, but he made class enjoyable to go to. He seems to focus on group discussion, so do your best to participate. Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory, but showing up every day will help you greatly on papers.

Some mistake his wry sense of humor as condescension, but he is being playful. Don't take it personally. If you enjoy witty banter, you will love engaging with him. He may not be a high-energy lecturer, encouraging calm and provocative conversations instead, but he is brilliant. His notes are also top-notch, so pay attention.

Comment:
If you have a disability or any accommodations through disability services, he will fight you and he wont accept your accommodations. He refuses to work with you in trying to come up with a solid middle ground. Be prepared to memorize Shakespeare plays as the tests are identifying quotes from the plays. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Professor Steffes is a tough grader and plays favorites. He will give advice on essays if you stop by during office hours, which puts you on his good side. In class he jokes but has a dry sarcastic sense of humor. Additionally he tries getting students to argue socalist ideals in class, but you are going to have to deal with it to get a good grade.

Comment:
Very unpleasant class. He's condescending and rude to students he doesn't like. He favors certain students and if you'r not one of them he acts like you are stupid when you comment in class. Make intelligent comments or you will be left feeling stupid by his reaction. He's a very tough grader. I despised this class.

He's a personable guy with a wry sense of humor who really tries to get to know his students. He grades fairly, provides valuable input, and even keeps things interesting for us science majors.

I took both his advanced Shakespeare classes. Was incredibly helpful, showed genuine interest in, and offered advice on, students' career plans. He recognizes talent and is incredibly willing to help. Eager to offer revision and advice. A funny and cute gentleman.

Professor Steffes is very helpful and encourages a lot of critical thinking and discussion in class. The reading materials were interesting, covering everything from neuroscience to gender studies. Dry sense of humor, he made me laugh a lot in class with his snide remarks.

Dr. Steffes is a really nice guy, but his class is really boring. He is monotone and its really hard to pay attention. However, he is very genuine and will help you if you need it. The class is not that hard if you just put a bit of effort into it and keep up with the readings.

Professor Steffes was the best professor I ever had. The only bad part of his class was the fact that I met a she-devil in it who broke my heart, but that's besides the point. Anyway, in his class I actually learned. One of the best and most genuine men I've ever met. He will work with you if you are having trouble.

His classes are good as long as there is student participation. Took Nature Lit with him and there were a lot of science kids that didn't know anything, so discussion wasn't great. Semi-tough grader, but knowledgeable and nice to talk to.
