Good teacher. Helpful. Lots of work. Weekly discussions with multiple postings. Seems more like a literature course to me. Could have gotten away without the text since most of the works we studied were online. Uses turnitin.com. He requires rough drafts on papers and will give feedback as many times so you can get a good grade on final drafts.

Awsome Prof! Very reasonable about work and will help you when you need it! Get him if you can!

Quiz everyday some hard some easy!!! If you need help go see him, he might make fun of you but in the end he will help out alot!!!!! Make sure you read what asks!!!!

Very helpful. What I liked best was that he would read my paper over and over until I thought I had it right.

Wonderful teacher. Funny, extremely helpful, quiz are easy if you read the text. You will ACE this class if you go to class and do the work. Quiz after each text, very easy bcuz he does it on a point bases. Wonderful intructer!

He would work with me on my papers over and over and I would finally get a good grade! Funny, with a twisted sense of humor, but entertaining, friendly, easy, well-read, happy. ;)

I have just finished a semester online with Dr. Perkowski. He was super helpful, friendly, funny, very involved and gave good feedback on what to improve. I loved the optional Drama paper.

He was a pretty reasonable teacher.

I LOVE DR.PERKOWSKI!!!!! he was awesome. he was very helpfull and i loved his lectures. he is so funny that i looked forward to his class all day. he is kinda hard to please so not an easy A but if you work hard you will love this class. he really helps you learn how to write an eassy. READ

He's ok...just dont challange him....once you challenge him your grades will begin to drop. You dont think a teacher will actually do that but yep...im afraid it happens folks. so if you dont agree with his point of view...keep it to yourself, you dont want him to begin picking your work apart to find faults (where in the beginning there were none)

I took his online class last semester. Dr. Perkowski was organized and very thorough. He responded right away to any question I had regarding the assignments. He was a tough professor and I didn't like his grading methods. I had a low C/D until the end of the semester when it rounded out to a B. I'm not complaining, just commenting.

Hands down the most interesting guy I've ever met. Quiz over EVERY friggin reading from the textbook, but it's enough to make an outline of a chapter to get most of the questions right.

Lots of reading but the power points help alot I followed them in class and took notes. He's funny and makes class more digestable. Three exams, all curved based on the highest grade.

This was my third online class at Gordon. It wasn't easier or harder than my other classes. What I really liked was all the freedom in discussing literature giving my own opinion and commenting on so many other students posts.

This was the most awesome class I've ever had because it was on the 3000 level! Everyone in this class read, so the discussions were amazing virtually every time we met. In one sentence we could discuss Jersey Shore, grammar, religion and, yeah, those Vikings. The most incredible course.

First of all, the readings in this class are huge and no joke. Secondly, the professor talks fast and tries to bring up the most important points. Thirdly, the daily quizzes are on the light side (5 questions) fill-in-the-blank type. I went to his office and asked him how to study and he told me to make an outline of each chapter. It helped.

Online classes are great at Gordon and this one is no exception. Dr. Perkowski replies very quickly to emails and he reads rough drafts many times before the final drafts. Some of his comments are a bit vague but he will clarify anything even more in email. My favorite part about this class was that I could do things at my own pace every week.

The most incredible thing was watching him read in another language like Old English, translate simultaneously and articulate it. Amazing.

Not too easy and not too hard. Very funny!!!

This class has totaly sparked new interest in me for literature!! I am thriled to study English at Gordon now! I can't wait for next semester.

Dr. Perkowski is amazing in the classroom. Thanks for a great semester!

He's a great teacher, he's very genuine, kind, funny, smart as hell, but he's passionate about this stuff If you're not as well, then you may struggle. He's not going to baby you like other professors. He's the best professor I've ever had. Be prepared to work hard, laugh, and learn.

It was not until I met him a few times outside the classroom (during the English Club meetings, for instance) when I realized that he is the same all the time, not a phony at all. He doesn't put on an act in the classroom, so I seriously appreciated how normal and relateable he is. I'm still thinking about the whole hwat and hwere and hwen thing.

He grades tough, but he read my papers several times so I always managed to get a better grade than I expected. He seems fair in his grading but sometimes I couldn't figure out some things about it. The class is super structured and everything was listed for the whole semester. I loved commenting on posts with my own ideas.

His class online was harder than in-seat when I took his 1101.

Dr. Perkowski is extra helpful and funny. Online class so email was quick and he read papers over and over. 3 big papers (one optoinal), 14 weekly posts, research paper and final essay.

This was my second online class with Dr. P. and I did worse than the first time around cause the readings were so much longer and deeper than 1102. He gives alot of resources but it was over my head anyways. I'm glad I passed though. He responds to emails real fast.

Im just glad I didnt fail his class. Not that it was his fault. I struggled with the pace of the readings and no make-up work. I really wish I took his class on campus instead of online.

The coolest prof ever! He made us all laugh so hard almost every class and I loved it!!! He knows his stuff inside out, reads Old English aloud, has amazing experiences to share. And he's hung like a horse. It was distracting actually sitting in the front row in front of his package.

I actually liked it how he made all the material somehow relate more easy. I aced most of the dailies because I made outlines of chapters and headings like he told me. He cares alot about his students. I want to take his 1502 also.

This was my second online class with Dr. Perkowski. More reading and harsher grading. I pulled off a B after the curve again. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. He is not that hardest or easiest prof at Gordon and you have to get use to him and his grading. He responds to emails lightning fast. I hope he wll teach one more lit online

After 4 classes from him, I will seriously miss him and his sense of humor. There's something unusual about him. He always made every class differet, fresh and original and exciting. If only my other classes were that interesting!!! He has a lot of passion for the subject and he wants every student to do their best. I'll miss him as a teacher.

Too much reading but I liked how he made so much of hte material relate to us on an every day level. He showed alot of photos from all over the world and it made the class more interesting. His exams are hard no joke but I set up a study group and did alright.

SUPER FUNNY AND COOL!!! HIS LECTURES ARE VERY MEMORABLE AND HIS GRADES ARE FAIR CAUSE HE GIVES RIGHT/WRONG QUESTIONS WITH NO ESSAY QUESTIONS ON TESTS. HE GIVES SOME EXTRA CREDIT ALSO.

If you take his class you need to really study the textbook and the slides most of the material for the exams is from these but he gives some other questions. All exams are curved on the highest score.

This online class is no joke. I thought at first it would be a piece of cake, but after two weeks I had to change my study habits to give the weekly posts much more time. Okay, his papers are pretty tough but he reads every draft. Some comments could be clearer, but he'll work with you over and over until the paper's due.

The whole semester is pretty tough but with the curve I made an A! He responds to emails real fast nad it's pretty cool.

He is amazing, seriously, period. He knows so much and has traveled eveywhere so he often shows his own photographs to add more info to the chapters. The quizzes are hard to predict so it's best to make an outline of the chapter from the text. He pics out the most important concepts for quizzes. He's funny and very easy going.

great teacher very informative did not coming to class unprepared he has daily quizzes and they count a lot b prepared to read a lot if you can't read all of the text don't even bother registered for the class also missing 2 classes could cost you 20 points

Dr.Perkowski is a great teacher!He is very funny! He is also a tough prof.. just being honest about it. His class is not a fill in/something just to throw in your schedule.His class is not a joke! You have to read about 25 pages or more a night and there are quizzes everyday!You have to study!Non-Readers do not take this class!!! I learned a lot.

First off, let me say that this class kicked my butt because it was intense 4 weeks in the summer. With this said, I made an A through hard work and Dr. Perkowski's frequent emails that kept me on the right track. He's helpful and very quick to respond. I want to take him on campus this semester because I've heard that he's very funny and upbeat.

I loved it how he made everything relate to our present day and showed how everything just evolved over the course of thousands of years. He has so much knowledge but he gives a quiz every class period. If you make an outline of the textbook you should be fine. About half the class dropped by midterm cause they didn't read at all. Funny guy, joker!

My second online class was equally tough as my first at Gordon. Dr. Perkowski was tough, so this is not a little dorky class you can just take because it' online so it might be easier. If your not motivated to work on schedule, don't take ANY online classes, ever. The readings in this class were interesting and I really liked to express myself.

Hands down the most interesting person I've met in my whole entire life. He knows his stuff and he makes it all kinda interesting also! Lots of quizzes (every class period) and he drops two lowest, 3 big exams over 4 chapters each, semester project, final exam (comprehensive and very hard). Grades are curved so no biggie. Easy pass if you read.

ONLINE: tough class with loads of reading every week. grades are curved a little.

Wow! I loved this class and Dr. Caesar! And now I am so thankful I passed this class with a better grade than I expected. The final exam is really tough but curved on the highest grade in the class. Class discussions were my favorite part. We laughed alot! He's so funny.

This was an online class in Georgia View. Like some people said it before here, no joke! Alot of readings, sometimes 200 pages in one week. The syllabus is really clear and he stuck to it all semester so I liked that. He grades tough but all is curved from the highest grade. I made a B with 74.

First of all you'd have to be a total dummy to fail his class. Second I hated it that I was just put in that class because I didn't do to well on COMPASS. At least he made me laugh every time we came to class. Easy stuff, just submit the assignments, even those lame ones to get full credit. No sweat.

He responds to emails in seconds even though in the syllabus it says 24 hours. I really liked that about this online class. Readings are every week, two big papers and a huge semester project. He worked with me on the papers over and over but I had to email him really often.

He is easy going and responds quickly to emails. His grading is unpredictable sometimes but after 2 weeks I was on the right track. Online class. No meetings on campus so very convenient.

This class was about the Viking Sagas. I loved it and it was so much fun!!! He made it all interesting especially with lots of pics from Scandinavia. I felt really honored when he said that my paper was one of the best so others should have a look at it if they didn't do ok on theirs. He is very funny, kind, compassionate, profane, knowledgable.

This was a bloodbath with peeps dropping left and right for not reading. Quiz every class period, not too easy, not too crazy. I tried to make an outline and it paid off. Usually asks for the heading phrases in bold type, nothing picky from the chapters. Exams were straight from the handouts. He is very personable and extremely funny. Recommended.

Real cool, easy readings. I loved it and made an easy A!

He was the coolest prof I've ever had! He made funny comments and cracked me up all the time. He's really smart and intelligent. It made the sagas very human and close to me. I loved it! Oh, btw, I made an A also.

He responds to emails real fast so that helps alot with getting his feedback. He reads papers often but up to 2 days before their due. So like if a paper is due Sunday he will read it until Friday night. Real cool and helpful. I heard that he's real funny in classroom and this online class was good but I was hoping for more humor. Next time!

so tomorrow is the end of the world. he laughed so much about this and he explained the maya calendar also. he's real cool and knows alot. we laughed so hard about how stupid some people have been for ages! so funny.

Awesome teacher! Very funny and smart. Made me want to travel around the world.

He is a great professor. He's very open and friendly and is always willing to help you. His class is not hard unless you make it hard by not showing up or not reading. One of my favorite classes so far at this college.

He has an incredible ability to make everything relate to each other. It's like everything was part of a bigger plan in history the way he talked about it. It made more sense to me this way to see what was influenced by what. It was all "Greek" to me at first, but then it made much more sense. His photos were so funny ;-)

I absolutely love him an his sense of humor.

Dr. Perkowski is very knowledgeable and extremely funny. The daily quizzes are hard to wing, so a few students dropped the class for not reading and making the outline of chapters. He makes everything flow from one section to another. That was my favorite part.

I am in his online class. He is very quick and helpful with papers and posts. Good overall teacher but he an EXTREMELY hard grader. If you do not have a natural ability to analyze a poem to see the meaning behind why a bug is flying around you, you will have a difficult time. Do not take it if you are looking for an easy online class.

I won't lie: this is NOT a light class, but I'm loving it. I sometimes feel like I've been on some sort of a cultural historical safari, making sure all the pieces fit into one whole, visiting faraway places, talking about things I've never heard of. As I said, not too easy, but interesting like through the roof! Awesome professor.

Like some said he's not the easiest, but he genuinely wants you to succeed. He responds to emails within minutes most of the time, explaining and guiding you. I know some students didn't do too good but I would venture that they didn't ask him for help all the time like I did. Everything and all papers are spelled out clearly in the syllabus.

He was amazing. He forced me to look at literature like I never did before. Even watching the news now is different cos I can dissect the information. Really cool material in this class. Not easy though.

He was so scary to me at first but then it was okay. This was a summer class so it was only 4 weeks and he responded to emails within minutes. Loads of reading and writing but he read my drafts many times and I made an A after the curve was applied. The first week was brutal but then he explained exactly what is required: "focus, focus, focus."

Never a dull moment in his class! OMG I totally loved talking about Chaucer and pop culture. He knows his stuff inside out.

Awesome professor. Knows his stuff. He is fair in his assessment/grading process,and always willing to help you in any way that he can. However, if you can not spell or do no know how to use the English language, you might not want to take an on-line English course.

This was my first class with Dr. Perkowski but I always heard how great he is in the classroom and that he knows his stuff inside out. Yes, he is very funny, making jokes about Chaucer and Lady Gaga in one sentence. He keeps the class very interesting, so it's always easy to pay attention. I really hope he will teach a cool course again soon. :-)

Chaucer class. The most incredible English course I've had so far. Doc is the master of medieval literature. He made it interesting and really funny! I want another class taught by him. Two inexpensive books and free texts online to read. I never thought I'd like Middle English poetry. Awesome class!!!!!

Loads and loads of reading each week. He responds to emails fast, but he won't lead you by the hand. The readings are interesting. He provides detailed feedback on the big papers. I might take another course online from him (world lit 2).

Excellent class but beware that there is a group project. Choose your partners wisely!!!!! I had to finish the whole paper by myself, it's so unfair. Doc responds to emails fast, gives feedback on papers, grades good. I liked that I could work ahead and post when needed. Great class.

I never expected Chaucer to be this interesting with Dr. Perkowski. He made the readings relatable to our modern day so it was so cool to read the poems and the tales. He sure knows his stuff but he always lets you have your opinion. That's why Ive always valued him.

This was my fifth online class at Gordon. It was not harder or easier than my other classes. He responds fast to emails (short messages usually). If you fail it's your fault. He works with you alot.

No this class was not a breeze but I made a B with good effort. The semester readings are scheduled from the start so you can pace yourself easy. I really liked discussing the short stories I knew some of them from 1101. It's kinda hard first few weeks to figure out exactly what is good posts but then it gets much easier and less stressful.

The greatest thing I learned in this online class is that any interpretation is valid. He allows you to explore the text however you want to. That's why I really liked this class. And it's online so I paced myself with some readings ahead of schedule. Glad that he teaches online. Hurrah!!!

So he's not the easiest prof I've had but definitely organized. Sometimes grades weird. He'll always tell you to "focus focus focus" so you'd better darn focus on small things in the reading. And no summarizing the stories, he hates it and he will tell you straight up he does. Two major papers, final project in groups, 14 discussion units and that's all. He is always available online. I've heard he's much better in a real classroom so I will try his colloquium on campus. Cool guy overall.

I messed up and didn't take Exam 2 and that totally was my fault. I still went to class cause his lectures are pretty cool and photos are awesome. I wish I had gave it more work. oh Well

The semester was great but "The Little Prince" discussion was my favorite. I loved his comments and feedback. He grades harsh but only to make you try harder. I want to take his 2111 online also but it's full.

He grades tough but also helps and encourages you do succeed. He always pushes students to grow in understanding and technique. He takes of 10 points for grammar errors occurring once or multiple times. Also take your papers to writing center for thorough check.

I loved this class. The grades were okay but I got a solid A in the end. I really loved discussing texts from my perspective. The three big papers were tough but I sent my draft four times to Dr. P. Lots of feedback.

Super cool. Not too easy but def interesting. Recommended. A++

Hand down the most fascinating person Ive ever met. His slides were cool but his personal pics were amazing cause I could see the places we talked about. A quiz every time reading was assigned.

I took his Viking Colloquium a while back and I've just registered for his Genocide Colloquium! So excited!! He is awesome and so funny!!! He really wants to push students really hard to make them succeed. There were times when I was a bit discouraged but it was all worth and I made an A, of course. :-) He is a great guy, so just pay attention in class, participate and ask questions. Good luck everyone! You'll love his class.

Summer class, only 4 weeks. Beware of procrastinating!!! So many students were doing such mediocre job it was not even funny. It's like 3 weekly units packed into 1 each week so loads of reading and writing. Dr. Perkowski responds to emails really fast and gives feedback on how to do better. I made a B but I worked my a** off. Good professor.

I was retaking this online class in the summer and I think it was about 60% of a regular semester so a great downsizing. Dr. Perkowski responds very fast and gives enough feedback. Sure it's NOT the easiest class I've took but summer is always crazy! He's best in the classroom from what I've been told. Either way he's great and his style is smooth.

this class opened my eyes to genocide like nothing else. even though the material was totally depressing we had a great time in class because he tried to lighten up some stuff. he's very funny but you can tell he's passionate about his teaching.

I thought it would be a depressing class about mass killings but it turned out actually to be interesting and informative. I would totally take him again with another colloquium.

IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS CLASS BUT THEN IT WAS SMOOTH SAILING. HE'S A HARSH GRADER ON THE WEEKLY POSTS BUT HE MARKED A FEW GOOD POSTS TO LET US KNOW WHAT WAS GOOD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE TEXT BUT YOU MUST FOCUS ON SOMETHING VERY SMALL, THE SMALLER THE BETTER. BASICALLY CATCH HIS ATTENTION WITH SOMETHING NEW.

He's real cool and funny. It's easy to get him off topic. He always comes back to the topic though. He's very intelligent and smart so it can be real intimidating but he cracks lots of jokes. He gave only daily quizzes, two papers and one huge semester project. Decent dude.

This class was simply amazing because he taught it. He knows so much about the history of English and weird cultural things. He assigned two papers and a research project. He also gives pop quizzes every time so I had to really read closely the poems assigned. Overall he's an amazing professor and I want to take him again.

an average online class not too hard nor too easy. weekly assignments you don't have to read everything you have a choice. two big papers and a group project (30% of the grade). he responds lightning fast to emails. no issues.

It's like through all those pop culture references he still made his point across about history of the language and Old English literature. I seriously loved participating in the discussions and translations. He made this topic so accessible because he made everything relatable and interesting. What a great medievalist! I'm so happy I made an A.

Online class, my third from Dr. Perkowski. Same format of weekly posts, three major papers and a group project. He responds really fast to emails and gives good feedback. The biggest thing is to pace yourself with the readings and read ahead to be ready with the posts.

Well paced class. You can read ahead. You must login twice a week for maximum credit. He's a tough grader but responds really fast in short emails. If you want a longer response tell him. LOL. There was a group project I didn't like but the weekly discussions were easy to handle. You'll be fine.

I seriously didn't know what to expect from the genocide class but I totally fell for it and loved every class lecture because I could speak up and share my opinions with the class and I was never made feel like I was stupid and my opinion always counted for something and it made others give opinions also. Dr. Perkoswki is so cool and interesting.

I am still in shock that I made an A this summer! It was only 4 weeks online and I got credit for the whole semester, what a great deal! He is a hard grader but he wants you to improve and my grades improved after the first week and then it was smooth sailing from there. I could tell lots of students were slacking off so this class is not for all.

Yeah I know there are many easier profs but Perkowski makes class super interesting. The discussion of Emily's poetry was my favorite cause he allowed everyone to have an opinion on interpretation. I've never heard of a professor who values his students opinions. I loved loved loved it

The readings are split up into manageable units. He makes class discussion real cool so it's easy to pay attention and take notes for the papers. He's a tough grader but you can send him your rough draft for feedback over and over again. A very interesting individual with lots of experiences and stories.

Amazing. Hands down the most fascinating prof I've ever had. He values everyone's opinions and made many jokes. He got the class to talk about some strange stuff like ugly people and Donald Trump but it always seemed kinda related to the readings. Very good guy. I want to take his 2111 online.

This COLQ was about writing systems and it blew my mind. He knows soooooo much about scripts, history, languages, and cultures. I wish he would teach another COLQ next semester. This was an amazing class, my most memorable of all time.

Online Comp 2 with 14 weekly reading units (you have to read 2 texts per week) and three papers. I did my best when I was just zeroing in on one detail not looking at what others posted. just me and the text. his grading can be unpredictible but I made an A in the end. I am in his 2112 online this semester. might as well continue doing good.

My first class without literary papers. History of the English Language. I loved it. He made me aware of how my own language works and why I say the things I do. This class has opened my eyes to English and now I am obsessively paying attention to how others talk. He's very knowledgeable and if he doesn't know something, he'll own it. Cool guy.

Hands down the best class I've had at Gordon. Dr. Perkowski is an expert in linguistics. One major paper and a few quizzes and some homework. I made an A. Class participation matters a lot. Extra credit helped too. I am taking his Chaucer class next semester.

I made an A but it wasn't the easiest class so don't expect an easy A. It took about 2 weeks for me to get an idea of what was really required after that it was all smooth sailing. Beware the group projects.

It's amazing to me that someone whose first language is not English can teach English and its history so well like an expert. I loved this class and Perkowski. Gonna take his Chaucer in the fall.

Online classes are hard. This class was not easy either. He read my paper several times and responds to emails fast.

I struggled but I made an A in the end with the curve. I liked his fast responses to emails.

I absolutely loved his Viking sagas class online. I just did my readings, responded to posts, and wrote two papers. Summer classes rule! Easy A!

I read most of the material before the semester began so it was just a matter of responding to the sagas each week, no big deal. Two big papers, but he graded them fast with feedback on how to improve. I have had him for 4 classes by now and he is always helpful and funny. He's much better in person cause he cracks me up and can relate to anything.

Discussions and papers. As long as you do both you can be pretty successful in the class. He gives clear expectations which assist in being successful throughout the course.

I've always liked him.

It was my third class with Dr. Perkowski but it was online so I didn't really get to see the "real" him. He's hilarious and entertaining in the classroom but it didn't come across online. I am taking another class from him now and it's much better because it's on campus and I get to LOL all the time.

Just a regular class, nothing super hard or unusual. I am taking his online World Lit now bc I know what to expect.

You really need to attend class to get a good grade because you have daily quizzes over reading that basically count for your attendance but the content is super easy. Total of 4 papers including the final and all are given reasonable amounts of time to work on. Good lecturer and really funny.

He's always hilarious. I mean like totally cracking me up with most things he says, even when they are about Chaucer. He can make anything relate to his students.

14 units with readings but it gets easier. he's available for lots of questions and help. i will take his 2112 online also

I have a real boring professor this semester so I miss Dr. Perkowski and his crazy sense of humor and his wild stories. Well not everyone can be interesting or caring I guess

Loved his class. He's amazing.

The first half of the semester was brutal but then it got much easier. it's the same format for the whole semester so you can improve and keep getting good grades on these tough weekly posts. papers graded fairly but it's best to send them several times for feedback. Very similar to my other online 1101.

I took his 1102 online first and then literature. Honestly, the level of difficulty was the same but the readings were longer and more complicated so it took more work to make an A. I had already learned in 1102 that it's best to show him ALL the work before submitting it online. Id have to say his feedback saved me. He curves the grades by 15%.

He's a tough grader but he curves the grades, so I made a B even though most of my posts were in the 60's and 70's. I know he's amazing in the classroom and i suspect his personality can't shine online. One thing I must give him credit for though is that he responds super fast to emails and gives good feedback.

He made me fall in love with Chaucer. There were 2 major papers and daily pop quizzes. I found some stuff he said very strange but I loved his sense of humor nonetheless and I grew to appreciate medieval poetry.

I guess Dr. Perkowski is not everyone's cup of tea. I liked him though he made me look deep and analyze. I felt that I could put myself out there and go wild with analyzing literature. I didn't have to read the entire texts just some sections to make sense of the plot to let me pick something small he wanted. He's a tough grader but helpful.

OMG I made an A in this summer online class that was only 4 weeks! The plays were so short to read and the papers were graded so leniently. I love my grades!

It was probably the easiest class I've ever taken.

Dr. Perkowski is the best! It was my 4th class with him, 2nd online. Every single time I've made an A. This class was the easiest by far. There were 2 major papers and 4 weekly readings. This was very manageable in such a short semester. Thank you for a great class again!!!

Cool dude. Easy A. I want to take him on campus now.

I learned alot but it was hard at first to do good on the pop quizzes. Then it got easier and I made a solid B. He talks alot but usually interesting so it's usually not boring. I also took an online English class from him. Both good.

He lectures but it's in a way that makes you want to participate to add to his comments. He asks a lot of questions during lecturing so it's not boring at all. He showed lots of personal photos to make the material more relatable. I loved the section on China. Excellent professor.

Maybe sometimes he was not clear on what he wanted but he always helped everyone in the evening class I took. Only one person failed but everyone else made A's and B's. Cool guy.

He sure was interesting. I see how different he is on campus and online. I prefer him in person cause he's funny and engaging. He curves all tests and quizzes.

He honestly made me work for it. Not that it was a bad thing but I had to read and make outlines more then I expected. He's super smart and funny and he tries real hard it's just there's so much stuff to read about. His tests were average and the project was a major boost in my grade. I also took his 1102 and it was easier I thought

If it were not for Dr. Perkowski I wouldn't make an A. He read all my papers several times before they were due and he gave so much feedback. My first paper was a B but then I got all A's up and down. The grammar exercises helped alot and raised my grade even more. Daily quizzes were okay but easy if you read. Excellent class!!!!!!!

This class was amazing! Dr. Perkowski gives great lectures and keeps you interested in the material. There is a lot of reading though, so be ready. There are daily quizzes over the readings, but he curves the test grades for everybody. Take his class! Great personality and teacher! You have to work hard for the grade you earn.

I honest never thought I'd say something like this about a class but this was THE BEST CLASS I'VE EVER HAD!!! It was like a tour around the world with the coolest pics, comments, and stories. I had never met anyone remotely interesting before I took this class from Dr. Perkowski. If you read and make an outline, you will love this class. Amazing!!!

My very first English class and I made an A!!!!! The make-up in-class writing really helped me improve. He is very funny and relevant he made everything seem like fun not hard work. His pet peeve is tardiness so don't try it. Participation matters a whole lot so I always spoke up even if I made no sense. I hope he teaches 1102 in McDonough also.

14 weekly readings, 2 papers, 1 project, extra credit, and bonus points.

All I can say is thank you Dr. Perkowski for your constant caring and making me a better writer this semester. I feel that I have learned a ton. See you next semester.

I had no idea what to expect but I grew to love this class.

He made me see so many new things in literature and now I know how to better analyze text. I really liked the lecture format with everyone sitting in their chairs in a circle.

This was my first English class in college and it was fine. Dr. Perkowski read over my papers several times so I caught loads of errors.

I can't wait for his literature class this semester on campus.

At first I struggled but then I made an outline of each chapter like he said. It wasn't easy but I made an A with the curve. I also want to take his 1502 but I can't find it in the schedule.

All the grammar exercises helped me with the big papers. He is very organized. And funny.

he told me time and time again that it didn't matter whether he agreed with my point of view as long as i supported my ideas. he was so right. i learned how to love reading

Take him if you can but hes best on campus. This online class was good but I don't feel I enjoyed it as much as his other classes.

I totally see how he could be intimidating to lazy students but to me he was fantastic and hilarious and informative and understanding. He valued every opinion and most students wanted to voice their ideas about the stories. Im in his 2112 this semester online but its not the same. I loved his class on campus!

I kinda dreaded this class. I am glad he taught it because he's so funny and weird. I love his sense of humor and his incredible knowledge about almost anything. He's very easy to relate to and the material was actually interesting. Extra credit makes a big difference!

I made an A but it took some extra work. I loved the reading selections.

He made me think of literature in a totally new way. The assignments were okay, he read my drafts over and over again. I will take him again in the Fall.

This was my 5th class with Dr. Perkowski. I totally love his classes. He's hilarious and he makes everything we read very interesting. One of the best teachers I've had my whole life. Almost everyone made an A in this class.

Not the easiest class but I made a B with some work. The weekly posts were tough I'm the beginning but got easier later.

Hands down he's the most engaging teacher I've ever had. Can't wait for another class with him.

I took ENGL1101 from King so I expected another abusive professor for 1102 but thank God Perkowskiis so cool and funny. He speaks so fast. I wrote down some of his hilarious jokes. He makes sure you can talk to him outside class about how to improve. Participation matters big time but most students tried to say something in class.

Almost everyone made an A. He is the best teacher I've had in the English program.

He is a GREAT teacher. He was my very first college professor and I absolutely loved his class and I hate English classes. He gives great feedback, responds to emails very quickly, and he is there to pass you not to fail you. His interest are in the students . He loves what he does and he is great at it!

I was terrified before I took English 1101 but it turned out awesome! It was only 4 weeks online.

This was my first class at Gordon. It was online and I was super scared what to expect. Dr. Perkowski helped me get comfortable with the whole college experience. He was so helpful and responded fast to all my emails. I wouldnt have made an A without his massive help! I am taking his 1102 this semester on campus. I had no idea how funny he is.

I had to meet with him in his office to talk about my work. I never realized I was just summarizing which he hates.

It's only week 5 but I have improved big time. His feedback in email is the best way to improve.

I love his class it gives everyone a chance to voice their opinions and he listens. This is the first time I feel like a college student.

I just cant believe some of these negative comments, no doubt left by entitled students who are very very lazy and just expect to be handed an A like they were in high school. Perkowski's class was not like high school. Thank goodness! I learned how to think for myself in his class.

I totally agree with some of these ratings that he's extremely hard, but the payoff is great and I felt like an adult. In my program at Georgia College now I see how easy he actually was and how funny his classes were also! He was interesting and cool, always down to earth and entertaining.

I was so scared of the history of the English language, but it turned out alright and I passed with a B. He curved the grades. The lectures were really cool. He hates it when you arrive late.

I thought he was super easy going and cool. He read my rough drafts several times and I got an A after the curve. He's funny and knows lots of stuff about the most random things.

This class was kinda tough at first but then it got much easier. He reads posts often and papers also.

This was the easiest English class I've ever had! There were just a few short papers and so much freedom with the readings to choose from. Awesome class.

The first half of the term was brutal but got easier in the second half. he worked with me on all my posts.I don't know him personally but heard he's a nice guy.

It was alot of work but the amount was the same each week so you knew what to expect. I liked his comments on my papers.

I had Dr. Perkowski for English 1101 online (it was okay). So I took him for English 1102 and he was totally hilarious. He literally brought me to tears I was laughing so hard. He gives good feedback on papers and sending papers makes it worthwhile. I am so confident in my literature class now because of Dr. Perkowski.

This was the most amazing class I've ever had.

He is such a funny professor! Makes class every enjoyable. He gives readings every night, which are usually short, and gives a short quiz over the assignment the next class. Only had 2 papers the whole semester and he was a little tough on grading so make sure you really take your time when writing and review your work.

This class is awesome. He assigns a very short reading after each class and he gives you a super quick/easy quiz at the beginning of each class. You have 2 papers during the semester and 1 group project. He gives you extra credit opportunities. Hes absolutely hilarious! Just take his class

This was probably the easiest class I've ever taken. And he is super funny.

Talking about women and feminism was awesome. He respected everyones opinion.

He was the coolest prof I've had at Gordon. He was funny and respectful. I want to take more of his classes. I think that everyone in his class made an A!

He is the most phenomenal professor I've taken at Gordon so far. The class was super easy and he told us that he didn't want to make it too complicated. It sure worked for me!

I've just found out that I made an A. I thought that I'd make a B. So happy now! This research paper was tough.

This was a tough class but I made a B with some work. Many students dropped out but, I guess they kept summarizing. What you really need is to take a small section from the readings and think about it alot. Dr. Perkowski read my posts every week and gave feedback. He is a tough grader and now I'm a better writer.

Come to class, complete the grammar exercises, pay attention, read the textbooks, finish the papers and you make an A. Hes easy and funny at the same time.

Dr. Perkowski is like a diamond in the sea of graphites at Gordon. He was so funny and relatable to my class and he read the rough drafts and met for individual conferences. The most helpful things were those grammar exercises and they helped me with the make-up in-class paper. What a helpful class!

I totally loved his class. I learned lots about women and feminists. He made it super light and easy. A+++

I have had a few professors at Gordon, but Dr. Perkowski made me feel like I was a college student. Everyone, literally everyone can say whatever they want weather he agrees with it or not.

I had two classes with Dr. Perkowski on campus before I took his class online. It's clear that he's much better face-to-face because he's supper funny and supportive. Online it's kinda harder. He replies quickly, but sometimes I didn't understand what he wanted. It's just easier on campus to ask him questions and get feedback.

The first two weeks were tough but got easier after that. He helped me alot with posts

What I'm gonna most remember prolly for the rest of my life is his lectures. He was very funny and really new stuff from his trips. The single chapter that stands out is about islam and muslims. his stories were so vivid and you could tell his feelings about it.

The best part was that I could write whatever I really thought about these stories. It taught me to focus on small stuff.

He gave so many great grammar exercises. they really helped! thank you!

I dreaded this class, but it's turned out to be totally awesome! He makes everything fun and interesting. It's super easy to relate to and remember stuff.

The class was hard in the beginning, because his expectations but once you get the hang of what hes asking for its easy, but he gives extra credit & drops alot of your low grades.

There's just no one else like him! He is an amazing professor who knows tons of stuff and can talk with the class about virtually ANYTHING! He's funny, knowledgeable, accessible, flexible, and very kind with the quiz grades. :)

I will FOREVER AND EVER remember our discussion about the purpose of life: meaningful work, someone to love, something to fight for. He changed my life and that was 5 years ago. I have just landed an awesome teaching job in Maryland because I was not afraid to fail, all thanks to Dr. Perkowski! I wish more people saw it this way.

He was the coolest professor I've ever had and I always looked forward to his classes. He's so funny and knowledgeble. He gave a lot of free grades for attendance. The material was kinda boring but he made it interesting. I actually liked reading and discussing in class.

THE BEST CLASS EVER. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD LIKE AN ENGLISH CLASS. COMPLETELY FASCINATING AND MESMERIZING. HES SHOCKING WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE, ENERGY, AND HUMOR. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN.

I learn so much about technology in this class! I actually feel better prepared for pursuing a career in tech.

I honestly don't know how I made an A. I thought I was barely making a B. He grades kinda harsh. I had to email him alot. On the positive the readings were real interesting. I learned alot how to look for small stuff in stories. He is very accessible and easy to talk to.

I just wanted to say that I am super grateful for Dr. Perkowski and all his help. I can honestly say that I'm a better writer and a much better reader!

There were times I didn't like his sense of humor but I got over it. He's funny and intelligent. You can have an opinion in his class and not be punished if he thinks different. He cares about his students more than many other professors.

To me he was like a language rockstar. He was so cool talking about the history of English and always gave funny examples. I learned more than I had expected. And now I feel more comfortable cause I know what is right and what's wrong when my friends or family correct me. I really liked "just let them correct you even though they're wrong" LOL LOL

Just went to class, did the homework, took his feedback, got an A. He's pretty cool.

Compared to my other online literature class he was alot easier. He dropped tons of grades at the end and I made a B with a 76 average.

He was the toughest grader Iver ever had but he made me a better writer. Ready for his literature class. He was super funny and intelligent. And everyone could say whatever they wanted in this hybrid 1102.

Dr. Perkowski is the chillest professor I've had at Gordon. So funny and intelligent. We talked about loads of stuff. He made me read. Most of the readings were actually pretty cool. Great guy

Much easier than my 1101. He gives a quiz every single time when readings are assigned. If you skip class, you won't get credit. So it's better to come to class. He often gives 10 points for showing up.

The classes were eral cool. he explained matrieial good. I thoght i was a good writer before his class but he helped me alot to get better. i wish I had him for 1101 also

The trick to getting an A was to send him all my work before it was due. His feedback was small, but I knew what to work on. The fiction paper was the best example of this. I didn't even have 5 paragraphs. He makes sure you can earn the best grade, with lots of the lowest grades dropped. A really interesting guy.

one of the funniest people i know. made me laugh alot each class period. if you ask him he will tel you what to fix on papers but if you dont he will grade them harsh and take points off for lots of grammar. its best to ask him and show him rough draft to get his feedback. he returns papers fast.

It was definitely easier in the second half of the semester because I knew to send my stuff to him before it was due.

One of the easiest classes I've ever had. And some units were interesting also.

This class confirmed for me that I'm doing the right thing by sticking with the English major. I wish he had more classes. When is Chaucer?

I totally loved this class. I read the stories and answered the prompts. Make sure to include the word count to avoid delays with grading. He is so organized. He sends update emails every time new grades are posted.

No lie this was not my easiest class but I learned a lot. There were no lectures just casual discussions about what we had read. Dr. Perkowski makes everything so interesting I loved it. He can relate literally anything to students to help us learn. I have just gotten a job teaching English but I will always remember this class. THANK YOU!!!

even though there were lots of things to read, i actually liked most of them. dr. perkowski grades fairly. he replies to emails real fast. i am in his other lit class now. so far so good. actually less readings this semester. i still want to take him on campus. i know he's super funny and clever.

COVID-19 class 100% online. Dr. Perkowski was amazingly attentive and responsive. The readings were great and interesting. I love English even more now. There was no need to purchase a textbook. Nice. Thank you for making this class normal in this insane pandemic time.

This was the best class I have had at Gordon so far. I never realized how cool history can be, especially history of our own language. The assignments were great and the grades were always very high with positive comments from Dr. Perkowski. He is amazing and I want to take his Chaucer next semester.

I had no idea what to expect. I read some reviews on here but they meant nothing. This class was fantastic and I totally loved the stories we read. The questions are easy to answer if you've read so no issues there. I am enrolled already in 2112 for spring with Dr. Perkowski. Gordon online classes are a great deal cause you don't have to drive.

The easiest lit class at GSC.

Second session class so very quick. It was only 10 weeks. He responds very fast to emails. The assignments were easy. The grading was lenient.

This has been the most insane year in my life, but I am grateful that I've survived. I am grateful that Dr. Perkowski showed so much understanding for my family situation. He is very helpful and caring. The readings were good. I was so scared at first, but compared to my other classes this one was much better and easier. Thank you for everything!

One cool guy. His grading was lax and the class didn't give me one bit of stress.

This is the best class I've ever had in the English Program. Dr. Perkowski is so engaging with the way he conducts the online sessions.

The best and easiest class I've had in the BA program so far. The reading was light and it was only 4 weeks. Dr. Perkowski is hilarious and so knowledgeable. I loved it even though I couldn't participate in all the online sessions. I've already registered for his fall class :) :) :)

I think all of us made an A. I expected another boring online class with video chats like all my other classes during the pandemic, but this was so much better. He really knows his stuff and is super engaging. Like many others in the program, I've already registered for his fall Lit class.

I really liked the video sessions. He is so funny. The grading was chill.

I don't think I would have passed this class without the online sessions on Ultra. Dr. Perkowski explains the material so well and made it super relatable to me. I changed my major to English after this class.

Dr. Perkowski is an amazing professor. His lectures about the Vikings were so cool and funny! I've taken four classes from him and I want another one. SUPER!

my last class in the program and it was an easy A! the lectures on ultra were helpful. dr. perkowski is very funny.

Easy class, just read and follow directions. Include your word counts every time. Make sure to follow the thesis and organization outlines for papers to do well. The readings were not too challenging or stressful. Commit more time to the poetry readings as those are more difficult. Submit papers early for feedback. Grading is not bad at all.

I was super scared of this class but it turned out so much easier than I expected! He is so lenient on grading but he won't accept late work so be forewarned. The video lectures were helpful but then people stopped attending.

I think Dr. Perkowski is very engaged and caring. There were so many times I asked him for help and he always responded fast even at odd hours. I recommend the professor.

I can't even begin to say how much I appreciated everything Dr. Perkowski did for me to pass this course. He gave me so much feedback and read my papers over and over. I am so happy I earned my B even though I was super worried about this class. Happy new year to all!

Great class to take. Great advice and easy class. I would definitely recommend anyone take his class.

Dr. Perkowski is an AMAZING professor! He makes his grading criteria & expectations very clear. We did weekly reading assignments & a final paper. I'm not the type to get too invested in elective courses, but he made anthropology so interesting! I loved attending the optional virtual meetings & they were very beneficial to my success in this course

This professor's class was pretty straightforward and so were the grading guidelines. There was consistent feedback and he was accessible outside of class. I really liked that we were emailed weekly with updates and tips. Also, the weekly, voluntary lectures were a good idea as well. So, as long as you submit good work, you'll get a good grade.

I loved taking his class. If you do need to take an English 1102 class, I do recommend his class.

Had a great experience. Even though it was online we had a teams meeting once a week, which makes the class so much better. I would recommend the professor and take another class with them in the future.

Dr. Perkowski is a great professor who cares about the success of his students. So naturally, therefore, there is a lot of reading each week. However, the questions are always the same to help minimize stress. So be sure to ask questions, keep up with the reading, and you are sure to succeed.

Disclaimer. This was a summer class so it was more intense than a regular semester. I had Dr. Perkowski for 1101 in the Spring so I know that he is very understanding and accommodating but this short semester kicked my butt. Deadlines came too fast at me and I procrastinated a bit the first week. It was tough to come up with the answers to prompts.

this was an awesome class but i wish it were on campus. my favorite part was about gender and personal space. teams discussions were amazing. i'm taking his religion coloquium this semester.

Had Dr. Perkowski for my first English Comp class. It was a lot of reading and writing, but nothing too difficult. He's cool if you have questions and he helped me by giving me quick feedback on my papers.

Very great Professor the material is right there for you every week to read. We had weekly assignments which if you join the class meetings or watch them later it should be very easy to get an A. Overall great class and very easy

This was the best class I ever took at Gordon. It gave me a deeper understanding of people around me.

World Religions colloquium was so much fun. Even the semester project was fun. He is so easygoing and knowledgeable. I hope he will be teaching anthropology again soon.

I loved this professor. He was a great teacher and was very good at communicating with you via email. You do have to read a lot in this class, but it is a set schedule every week and it is very organized

This class was really easy and that is great for an online course. You do have to read a book, but it's certain chapters and the choice is yours on which ones. Word of advice is to go above and beyond. This benefits your grade!! Very easy work and the most stress free class. The professor is extremely nice!!

He is the nicest, most helpful professor I've ever had.

The greatest thing about this class was the weekly video session. So many of the texts we had read were complicated and unclear but Dr. Perkowski explained them. I asked many questions. He's very helpful.

This ETHICS class taught me alot about myself and my views. I used to think that everyone shared the same moral compass but that's totally untrue. I feel like I'm a better person after this class. Dr. Perkowski was very encouraging. This was a summer session, only 4 weeks.

THANK YOU! I'm VERY happy I made an A! The assignments were good and the class schedule flexible. Dr. Perkowski gives feedback and grades assignments so fast. The extra credit was good also.

A very average class. I really liked some of the stories we read.

He responded faster than any of my professors and he graded so efficiently and fairly. Super caring guy

He makes these readings easier by discussing them in his weekly lectures, a blessing! You can use the transcript from the lectures, just tweak it and doublecheck the textbook. Very helpful. Usually very funny also

The first two weeks were frustrating but then it all got easier

I didnt realize this class was half-semester. It felt rushed. And then I realized that it was twice faster because it was 7 weeks. He gave lots of feedback. And he was very encouraging and supportive. The material was interesting. The videos were helpful too!

Dr. Perkowski was a very considerate professor. This was my very first Dual Enrollment class, and with Gordon State College. Be prepared and ready to read material for the class. For the highest success in this class, be attentive and participating in the Weekly Lectures. This is a great tool, and will allow you to understand the Weekly Assignment.

This was my second course with Dr. Perkowski, and I was well prepared for the English 1102. He expects you to go the extra mile, and this benefits you because you receive the most credit possible and you know what is expected of you. For the most success, you should attend the Weekly Lectures. He drops the four lowest Weekly Assignment grades.

What an amazing professor! He opened my eyes to my own beliefs!

I dont know how he knew that I was using ChatGPT, but I had to withdraw from Comp2. ChatGPT just couldnt figure out how to answer his prompts. And I sure didnt feel like reading all those stories! English is my weakest subject

I just wanted to say that I loved that he let to correct the formatting when the grade was on hold

My favorite professor by far. His assignments are easy if you follow the rubric. Love him!!!
