He is the kind of professor that doesn't put a burdden on the student and he is always willing to help and to give another opportunity. I love him.
Very knowledgable person. He is willing to listen to other points of view openly and without judgement. He is fair and friendly, and animates his students. His class is highly recommended.
This class has 3 graded speeches, some pop quizzes, and participation and attendance are important. His lectures don't really help prepare you for the speeches. This professor can be somewhat of a harsh grader on the speeches. Do not take this professor- take Judell.
he is very intellectual and very open to accept other peoples point of view, also extremely helpful. I recommend him to all. I know you guys will enjoy his class.
This man replaced Abdoh when I took him. He knows what he is talking about and very organized. The only drawback is that he takes himself way too serious. You'll learn, but it's like walking on thin ice the whole time.
One of my favorite professors. First half of semester is small written assignments. Second half involves one story from every member of class followed by critiques by everyone in the class. Very managable, I learned a lot.
he's a very good teacher- he knows when to be serious and when to do work. his assignments are fun and he's not picky about things being done a certain way. very respectable man, i encourage you all to take him... especially for creative writing!
Fair grader. A fan of creativity and hard work. You wont get off that easily if you think your just gonna slack off. Very encouraging and is not opposed to class discussion. A fan of opinions too. He lets your peers anonymously evaluate your speeches which is pretty kool. He's honest and sticks by his word. I definately recommend him.
Great Professor! Easy on Grades! Very little work comparing to the others. Take his class!
One of my favorites ever. As long as you have no problem showing up to class, handing in your assignments, and participating to the best of your ability, you will do extremely well. To top it off, I'm still in touch with him 4 semesters later. I still consult him for advice on stories I'm writing.
Workload is low and for the most part he chooses good reading material. Easy grader. Be warned though that he is extremely sarcastic. If you are quickly bored with bitter cracks at religion and politics you might want to pass.
really easy, not hard at all, very funny. Take his class not much work and easy grader, he likes when people comment and participate in class.(fist time i pass an english cours in my entire life with an A). thats how easy he is, very short papers not long at all, the longest one is about 7 pages, take his class!!

My favorite professor. He gave me the only A+ I've ever gotten. Easy class. Very helpful,personable,friendly and encouraging. Four semesters later we still keep in touch and I run all my story ideas by him. We even meet for coffee. Take his class.
My favorite professor. He gave me the only A+ I've ever gotten. Easy class.Four semesters later we still keep in touch and I run all my story ideas by him. We even meet for coffee. Take his class.
Best teacher at city hands down. i really hate english but he made this class very interesting and fun. gotta visit this guy plus omg he gave me an A what!
BEST Professor during my freshman year. Had him for speech and creative wriiting. Very caring, funny, intelligent and engaging. Very creative with class lessons, and loves group discussion. He doesnt take BS, meaning, dont try to give him the "i couldnt print out my paper" bc u ddidnt do it. he will say oh well and move one. LOL! The BEST!!
I wish I could take more classes with him. Too bad he only teaches undergrad. He is GREAT. YOU will Love him
Prof. Kozlowski is really chill but gave me too much work for me to handle. He would tell us to read a book in one week but I didn't have time because of my major and plus, he only controlled half of the course.
Cool guy. He likes to begin class with a story. Everyone has to tell at least one story throughout the semester. No textbook req but he does give out a lot of short stories to read. Also, be prepared to write 10 pieces of fiction and take about 3 quizzes. For the final you have to write a 10pg story. He's a fair grader and very helpful.
EASY, relaxed, 10pg final, EAsy for the first half of the semester then a 22pgs worth of critiques.
very cool professor; very funny and nice! Take him if u get a chance
Absolutely loved this class!!! Very fun professor that gives interesting stories and assignments. Relaxed classes would definitely take him again!!! Recommend to all your friends!!
Interesting, encouraged discussion, good selection of material.Fair in grading, but insisted on attending class on a regular basis and handing in papers on time. Could not do better in selecting a professor.English 33100
you are a great professor.
This professor is an awesome professor. Always ready to help you, very knowledgeable, makes discussions interesting, and most of all, makes you think analytically. Couldn't ask for a better professor.
Wonderful professor. He has a large knowledge historical knowledge base, and shares it in literary context. Always available to help students, encourages great in-class discussions/debates, and cares very much about his students.
Very good Professor.Helpful, clear, and funny.
The class is very easy as long as you have confidence to stand up in front of people and give a speech. NEVER EVER show up late for your speech, he will NOT be happy. He's easy to talk to and makes the class environment comfortable.
Very nice all you get is 4 speeches. 1. About yourself 2. Demonstration 3. Toast 4. Persuasive. I thought I did bad in one of the speeches got a "B" so easy grader. I'll see what he will give me for final
Amazing professor. very nice and fair guy. Teaches very well. Tells great stories. Take his class. He actually cares about his student. Loves coffee.
He's not only a great professor, but just an overall great guy. He's nice and really gets to know his students. He's funny and makes the course very interesting, especially if you're taking pulp fiction. Take him!
Excellent instructor. Taking his Advanced Fiction Workshop in Spring '12, after taking Intermediate in Summer '11. Super intelligent, structured, funny, generous and down-to-earth. I propelled forward as a writer in just 4 (intensive) weeks. Reading material is on-point; makes you write in class. Welcomes all types of writers. Highly recommended!
he is awesome! just go to class and rehearse before your speech date! he makes the class entertaining and has us all participate in quick 30 second speeches about a topic. it's fun and it gets you prepared. he even gives full examples on his own of how your speech should be. great prof!
Rehearse your speeches (all four) before class and you'll be fine. He grades fairly and gives you his rubric & expectations for each speech beforehand (which he uses to grade you). He is also funny and has interesting 30 second speech prompts so you will enjoy coming to the class.
Very worldly professor that makes you want to come to class. He makes it fun and makes his expectations crystal clear. Can't recommend him enough!
Best professor ever. He made speech so fun.
Such a great professor! Has great style! Makes learning environment very comfortable. It was my favorite class so far. Don't be absent more than 3 times and practice your speeches before class and you'll be fine.
AWESOME PROF.! He was clear on everything. Made every class fun. Make sure to practice your speeches and make the time limits. I always did good. Not a hard grader. He is also VERY helpful. One person had trouble speaking english and Kozlowski said he can practice and re-try another class. Extremely understanding. AND FUN. One of the best!!
Very funny, starts class with a question to take attendance. Recommend him. Speech is lit, loves his students. Great man. Very straightforward. Show up to class and make good speeches and you are guaranteed to pass.
Easy reading section of freshman English class. There was a lot of reading-5 Pulp Fiction novellas in quick succession. Keeps the class entertained with well produced lectures filled with information and video clips. 1010 would recommend!
He will work as hard as you do, brilliant and silver fox to boot.
Such a great guy. I enjoyed going to speech class every morning. He is absolutely hilarious. Thanks to him, I was able to overcome my fear of public speaking
Easy and relaxed class. Has a great personality and will really boost your confidence in public speaking. Total four speeches: introduction (3-5 mins), demonstration (5-7 mins), special occasion (4-6 mins), and persuasion (7-9 mins). One easy quiz early in the semester. One pg review of a CCNY theater play (half letter grade off if not completed).
Four easy speeches. Loved his lectures really much. He begins the lectures with a question each time. Encourage people to take him
Only 1 pop quiz. Speeches are easy, but I think incorporating humor into your speech will get you a higher grade. He only requires 1 of 2 theater reviews, and still got an A-. Don't be absent 4 times, or you'll fail the class. Textbook is not required since he covers everything in class.
Mr. K was honestly the best, read and do your work and you should be fine.
Professor Kozlowski is quite honestly the best professor I've taken in my time at this school.
He is the best, very funny but is strict when needs to be. DO NOT TAKE OUT YOUR PHONE! I never did but he blasted people who did. He is super clear on what he is expects from you. You will gain awesome skills. I was a nervous wreck in the beginning but now I am a pro
Professor kozlowski is the best!! He is funny and likes to engage with his students. He starts the class by asking a question and gets a conversation going before he starts the lectures. 4 speeches that are not too long. He's an easy grader but only allows up to 3 absences and you fail within the last one. So go to class! Overall rally fun class!
Best Professor I have taken at CCNY, helped me learned how to better my writing.
I took him for creative writing and he's a great professor because of how well he introduces students to the craft. His classes are heavily based in short story writing so if you're a poet like me some of his classes can be tedious. However, he is a fair and easy grader. I handed in a crappy story for the final and I still got a good grade.
Very good professor. Opens up the class by asking a question. Usually ends class with 30 second speeches . 4 speeches overall. Attendance is mandatory. No cell phones allowed what so ever. Speeches are really fun. This class definitely helped me improve as a speaker. Recommend !
Cool guy. Definitely take him
He really is a great teacher. Very engaged and passionate about the class. If you take your time practicing your speeches and participating in class, you will get a good grade.
Mr. K is definitely one of my favorite professors! He's a really funny guy and he cares about his students and likes to get to know them better. He always starts the class by asking fun questions and it makes us feel relaxed and ready to study. No homework - only quizzes based on the readings done and a final paper at the end of the semester.
Awesome professor began every class with a question that everyone has to answer. Gave quizzes on the readings, so make sure to read before class. Interesting lectures and one final paper, overall pretty straight forward and easy class
If you need to take a speech class, you should take him. Only 4 speeches and he's a pretty easy grader, got A's on all my speeches. He does 30 second speeches most of the time at the end of class which is pretty fun. One theater review due at last day of classes. Other than that, it's an easy A.
Took this professor for an English class - Horror Literature. Lots of reading. Fair grader. Attendance a must. He expects you to participate. A quiz on the readings every class.
Professor Kozlowski is an understanding professor but a tough grader. He will make you work for your grade. Just go to class, participate, and be well-prepared when giving speeches. Don't be absent either because he does keep track.
The grade is based on 4 speeches, a 1-page paper, and participation/attendance. This class is easy unless you get anxious when presenting/talking in front of a group of people. Easy A.
A very nice professor. If you prepared and practiced your speech at home, you can get a easy A.
He's one of the best prof in this school. Very funny. Definitely take him.
Honestly best professor in CCNY extremely funny and is very clear of his expectation.
Prof. K is super chill and knowledgable about so much, making the class really enjoyable. You take a lot away from his class and readings even if they aren't something you usually read. He makes every class unique and intriguing, and overall he's just a really nice guy! I loved this class and gained a lot from it, I always felt ready to engage.
Overall, he isn't bad at his job but due to the way he treats students, i wouldnt take him again.
Alright at his job, but acts very holier than thou as if hes been teaching forever. Is nice enough in person but grades not only harshly but extremely condescendingly. He wont hesitate to question your intelligence and give you a terrible grade on hard work. Honestly one of the main reasons I switched my English major. Dont recommend at all.
Professor Kozlowski is by far one of the best professors CCNY has. He tried his best to make everyone feel comfortable with icebreakers and his feedback was constructive but very insightful. My class was half in-person & half online; he genuinely made an effort to be flexible with all his students, which I appreciated immensely. 10/10 for me!
Pretty easy class. But he is extremely full of himself and its hard to look past and ignore his enormous ego. Other than that he was a pretty chill guy and I'd take the class if you want an easy A
Prof K is amazing, with zoom and being online its hard for me to feel engaged and involved in classes but he makes sure everyone feels included and were able to engage with the class work. Hes very funny and the class is honestly great!
Disrespectful when you have an opinion that contradicts his own. Complains about participation but doesn't give us opportunities to engage without being dismissed. Grades rudely, even with an A comments papers are boring, or not in his interesting yet he limits your quotes, topics, and comments. Very difficult to please overall. Good luck.
Great professor. Participating is easy, just give your opinion. You will have text to read every week and quizzes. But he is very passionate and a nice professor. Also attendance and participation is important. If you can handle weekly work, youre fine.
My friend had him for her favorite class but he failed her just bc she handed in her work late he did state that he didn't accept late work, she still did the work but it was v late, it was bc she tried comm1tting the day it was due, he seems like a nice guy but I don't recommend if you ever procrastinate, or if you have depression.
Kozlowski is a fun and knowledgeable guy. With this online class, you see him once a week and the other days you would need to read what was assigned and do a quiz on it. About 13 quizzes, and 2 papers. If you don't read, you can fall behind and be embarresed in front of class when he calls on you.
Okay professor, gives multiple papers each week and pop quizzes. Makes jokes within the class that kept the class compelling. But some of the jokes were unnecessary and made some individuals including me feel uncomfortable in the class. Professor can be nice and lighthearted or quite stern and rude.
Professor K started off nice but then took a drastic turn. He favorited multiple students from the start in my opinion- Multiple readings were given and pop quizzes as well
Look he isnt bad at teaching but the PASSIVE AGRESSIVNESS is what yall gotta beware of. He will call you out and embarrass you, make weird jokes sometimes, and there's always a quiz after reading a chapter of a book or movie. You have like very short time in the beginning of class to do them and gives u 5 seconds to submit your answers.
GET READY TO READ AND TAKE QUIZZES EVERY WEEK!!!! . Absent more than 3 times = automatically fail the course
worst teacher u can ever have
Awful and Has Favorites
A great professor.
He definitely knows what he is talking about and is a really nice person to have a conversation with. He strongly encourages participation so if you don't like speaking up don't take this class. He has pop quiz every day, but as long as you read material you'll be fine. At first seems very strict but if you just actively listen you'll be fine.
