Comment:
Professor Eklund was by far the best professor I've ever taken. His class is very laid back and he doesn't take attendance. I rarely put more than minimum effort into his class and ended up with a 112% in the class. He is amazing.

Great guy, and super laid back class. There is a writing assignment due every week and a 30 page compilation due at the end of the semester. He gives great feedback and is always available to talk to. I recommend him!

George is a delightful man with a delightfully loose and artistic view of what an English class should be. 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Comment:
Trepidation doesn't even begin to describe the feelings with which I approached Advanced Poetry Writing. But Eklund's completely open-minded and encouraging "anything goes" approach made me feel not just comfortable, but also confident. He took time to offer almost entirely encouraging comments on everything I contributed. He's a class act!

Comment:
Mr. Eklund is great! The class is honestly an easy 'A'. You do weekly writing exercises on blackboard (approx 250 words) which are simple. He also requires 4 essays (2 before midterm, 2 after) on topics of your choosing. He lets you resubmit them an infinite number of times to improve your grade. He takes attendance now, so come to class. (No book)

Comment:
Great instructor. Did not require attendance, simply required a specific number of meetings per semester and a specific number of papers. These could be done on your own time, so this class was virtually stress free. Always ready and willing to help if need be and examples of what he expects were crystal clear. Cant say enough good things!

Comment:
Four meetings with him to discuss your writing and a portfolio at the end of the semester -- that's all you really need to do well in Poetry Writing. Show an interest and he'll help you in any way he can. He tries to be nonbiased, but you'll have to write how he sees fit. Lots of group focus/sharing and response. Touchy feely. A little boring.

Comment:
RE:Online class. He was MIA much of semester; confusing instructions; never answered DB questions; only graded/responded up to week 4's assignments; promised 1-pg narrative about our writing at end--never got; asked us to buy 2 more books mid-semester, then never participated in discussions. Waste of money for grad-level ADVANCED poetry class.

Super easy course. If English is not your major and you are just taking english to get it out of the way...TAKE HIM! You have 4 essays to do, there is no quizzes, tests, textbook, nothing! Just come to class and do the essays and there is no way you cannot get below an A

There's no text book, no quizes, no tests. Your grade in the class is based off of six essays that you are allowed to do on any topic you want. He's willing to help you before the paper's due and if you don't like the grade you get you're allowed to revise it for a better grade! Great professor, take him for anything you can!

Good looking older man, SO nice, SO helpful with whatever you need him to do, extremely thorough grader, makes sure everybody's on the same page before moving on, no textbooks, you can usually leave early, sweet sense of humor, you have to write 4 pieces for the semester, he'll read as many drafts as you want him to, take him for anything you can

He has a poet's spirit, heart, and mentality. Just an amazing human being. Very helpful, kind, and caring. I wish MSU could clone him. It's not about getting an easy A. Take this professor so you can learn something about yourself and humanity. Professor Eklund cares about his students and he cares about writing.

Comment:
George Eklund is one of the great professors here at Morehead. He talks in a tone that you'll grow to love and a unique approach to teaching. He's very inviting when it comes to discussion and very personable when it comes to meeting outside of class or asking a question inside or out of class. He is a great professor and a wonderful human being.
