he's totally crazy, super loud, stands on tables and dances, so funny! awesome class!
Be on time, learn your lines. Be respecful of your classmates. you'll do fine.
He is super funny and good natured. Read as much of the text as you can but pay attention to lectures too. He will do his best to help you and work with you.
BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD! I'm not into theater at all, but he made the class so enjoyable. He's super nice and really funny! Such a good class!!!!
He's energetic, that's for sure. The problem is, the entire class is him reading slides. It is an easy class. If I didn't take a theatre class before this,however, I'm sure none of this would have stuck. Only allowed 3 absences. He's a really nice guy but to be honest you could do the class if you never went and just read the slides online.
Ihad him for acting fudamentals, amazing teacher. He made acting fun. Great energy and he connected with us as a class
He is an awesome teacher for TPP1100 Acting Fundamentals! He's a lot of fun and really helpful; he really connects with the students. Just make sure you show up to class on time, put away your cell phone while in class, and actually do the assigned work, and you'll do great.
He's really great. He works with you, no matter what your problem might be. He actually cares about his students passing. He's so nice and funny and makes class interesting, even when it would normally put me to sleep. Definitely one of the best teachers I have ever had. :)
His humor keeps me alert in THE. The class is easy, and requires simple studying. I enjoyed taking it and would recommend it to anyone.
Fun class! Just show up, put away your phone and dish out some effort. He cares about his students learning something during the semester. Really connects with his class.
Best professor ever! Class wasn't difficult, just study the slides. Professor Kozak does an extensive review on his tests so there are no surprises.
Chris Kozak is an incredible professor and great friend. He is very encouraging, but not a pushover. Chris is a kind man and really enjoys connecting with his students. I'd definitely recommend his class. You may learn a lot!
Gives great feedback. Really cares about the people who have a desire to act. Those who don't care about acting or just care about class will be frowned upon. Worth the time and effort. If you want to learn the very basics of acting and performing in front of people, you won't be dissapointed
Yeahhhh .. <<< he say that alot lol. .. I love him .. very helpful and works with you if you need help. He gives good reviews and really know alot about acting.!
Kozak is an awesome professor. He makes the class entertaining. The class is boring, but he does his job and makes it fun. He's a really cool guy and I honestly have laughed every day this semester. He was probably my funniest teacher this semester!
Professor Kozaz is a very helpful teacher. He is fun and interesting throughout the entire class. Just always make sure that you are listening and doing what you are supposed to be doing and he will adore that you are respectful! I loved this class and he really does want you to do your absolute best! :)
Very interested in his field, and also very willing to help students who don't immediately "get" it. The only bad thing is that he needs to work on the wording of quizzes because most of them had at least one question that most people got wrong; however when this happens he usually just gives everyone credit for the question so it works out fine.
Professor Kozak is an extremely good professor. His class does require you to study, but it isn't too bad. He makes the class very interesting and so that you'll want to go. I would defiantly take him!
Mr. Kozak is a great Intro to Theatre teacher! He will go out of his way to help you! Although you can get a good grade in this class, you do have to work for it for sure!! Make sure you study for your quizzes and tests! He gives you reviews before hand so you should have no reason to fail! Overall he makes the class fun and upbeat!!
Mr. Kozak is super energetic and is really into what he is teaching. He makes every class fun and if you don't understand something he will totally help you out in whatever way he can.
Kozak was super energetic and helped make theater interesting i will deffinatley take his acting class next semester one of the best professors iv ever had
Kozak is a great teacher. His classes are really fun and easy. I really recommend Kozak because he has such interest on student's learning. Favorite teacher this semester
Professor Kozak is awesome. He's enthusiastic and funny and keeps the class interesting. If you make an effort and show that you care, you'll do well in his class.
Kozak is a down to earth professor. He keeps it 100 with you. Take advatantage of meeting him before or after class, that's the only way your grade will get better. When he is critquing, use it in consideration. I love Kozack. You won't regret I promise.
This guy is Great!!! I love him soo much. Please take advantage of going to him before or after school. He's extrememly helpful. Trust me you won't regret having him.
Professor Kozak is the funniest teacher I have ever had! However, he is serious when it comes to doing the assigned reading. If you do not do the reading, he will most likely give the whole class a pop quiz. Overall, a fantastic and sassy teacher! I highly recommend! (:
This class is great. The best class I had this term. If you read and listen in class you will have no problem with this class. Makes learning the subject matter fun. Helps you relate topics to everyday life.
Such a fun teacher! I feel like I learned a lot and I highly recommend it! He is fabulous :)
This guy is hilarious! The material for this class is pretty boring, but he makes it more fun because he's so energetic and fun. He's very fair and gives clear reviews for the test. His slides from the power points are very helpful as well. If you need to take this class, take him!
Flamboyant, loud and obnoxious but knows the subject very well and also expects a reasonable amount of productivity from a student but on-the-other-hand is a reasonable, logic teacher. Fun class!
Flamboyant, loud, and obnoxious teacher that expects a reasonable amount of productivity from a student but on-the-other-hand is logically, exciting, fun teacher.
One of my favorite classes. Professor Kozak makes learning fun. He is very energetic and willing to explain anything you may have problems with. Participation and reading are key in this course. You must read the material to be able to participate.
Kozak was an awesome professor. He is entertaining while at the same time very knowledgeable about the subject. This was my first class ever about theater and he made it probably my favourite class of the semester!
Kozak was one of my favorite teachers this semester! Come prepared to take pages of notes, but he offers slides of notes online. Reading is a must, that's really the only thing he asks.
I thought Acting Fundamentals would be unbearable and scary because I have mild social anxiety, but I was wrong! Kozak is THE BEST. If you have questions or concerns about something, he's there. He helps in any way that he can. If you care, he cares. Show up to class on time, turn work on time, and listen and follow directions. Recommend deeply.
This was a pretty entertaining class. Just make sure to actually do the reading. The material itself can get pretty dull, however he makes it fun, interesting, and fairly easy.
Kozak is a pretty easy teacher and he helps you if you need anything. besides his random mood swings, he's a great teacher to have.
I learned a lot about theater. It was also a bit of history, humanities and so much more. I really enjoyed the class and Prof. Kozak kept it interesting. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Recommend!!!
great teacher
He was a great teacher. He made class to where you wanted to come. He interacts with you and keeps class entertaining. Kozak is an awesome teacher. I would recommend this class. As long as you do your work and show up, its an easy A!!
Professor Kozak is honestly hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes theatre so enjoyable and exciting! I actually looked forward to his class. If i could take him again i would not hesitate. I strongly recommend this teacher! :)
If you cant handle a professor acting like a student, DO NOT take this class. He lowers himself to the levels of students to say catty remarks under his breath, very unprofessional. DO NOT get on his bad side. very snotty attitude. he requires readings, u learn nothing from the book BORING CLASS. all slides. I hope he reevaluates how he teaches.
Professors Kozak is a very good teacher he will take the time to explain with examples and is very approachable if you need any extra help.
You must read the chapters assigned or else you will see the dark side of Professor Kozak. Participate and make sure he places a check mark by your name. Kozak provides great study guides. In this class you will be doing quite a bit of writing. Do not miss class or your grade will drop. Very willing to accommodate students when needed.
Great professor. Clear topics. Very helpful. Fun class.
Funny and easy going. Kozak cares alot about what he teaches. As long as you do what he says you will pass the class with an A. Try not to miss class too much.
Good professor, you will definitely pass if you try your best and go to him for help
Great professor, try your best and go to him for help and it will be a fun school year
Great professor. Funny, direct and it is a fun class
Great professor, do your work, try your best, and you will have fun
always remember your lines and try your best and it is a fun class
I really enjoyed class. Kozak is very helpful and will always go the mile to help if you show effort. He is very funny and entertaining.
I had Professor Kozak both for Acting Fundamentals and for Intro to Theatre, and I must say that Professor Kozak is without a doubt one of the best teachers I have ever had. I have never met anyone who cares about their students as much as he does. He is extremely clear about what he expects. He also makes every single class hilarious. The best.
Best teacher. Learned a lot. Very helpful.
Mr. Kozak will do anything in his power to help you. He knows what he is talking about and he wants to see everyone succeed. Great person and fun to be around.
He was a really awesome professor! He really makes you interested in theater. We did not have to use the textbook at all! All Tests and Quizzes are online. There is like 4 essays but I mean they are go by so quick. Highly Recommend!
Super nice and he really wants his students to at least take one thing away from his class.
Great teacher! Very helpful and teaches in a way to keep you interested! Quizzes and test are online and the reviews are very helpful!
Mr.Kozak was extremely helpful and reasonable.His personality made you want to attend class everyday.I highly recommend Mr. Koazak!!
Mr.Kozak is very easy to get along with. He wants you to learn and to succeed in his class. He gives you plenty of time to complete assignments and he is very helpful. You have a mandatory paper due by the end of the semester but it's not hard. The paper is on a play of your choice that is also required that you go see. He keeps you latughing.
Mr. Kozak was a great professor that cares about what he is teaching and he would keep you interested in the class.
I took Dr. Kozak's class in the fall 2014 semester, he was amazing. Gave great notes (which he posts online), he posts extra practice problems and goes through old term tests. He gives hints for what he'll be putting on tests and grades fairly. He made class fun with stories and jokes, I will be looking to take any future classes with him.
Prof. Kozack was honestly the most enjoyable teacher I have ever had and made the class one that I wanted to show up for! He always helped anyone and everyone no matter what the reason. he really is just a great professor and one I would happily take again.
Very willing to help, Kozak is the best.
very fun class and professor who will make you a much better performer! definitely recommend.
This class makes me want to go to campus! Don't be afriad of getting in front of others and being critiqued. You will have to spend a few minutes each day to read over your script to do well, but the fun overpowers the studying!
Professor Kozak's class was so much fun to participate in. In his class I was taken out of my comfort zone but in a good way. He is understandable and if you communicate with him he's super helpful.
As far as enjoying the class; he started strong, but just spiraled mid semester. He got so negative, and down right catty. Often didn't know what to do with class time. Forget emailing him, you're going to want to confirm every detail IN PERSON. I don't think he's looked at the files he wrote on Canvas in years. SLOW grader. Insensitive at times.
Really nice guy, funny too.
I took Kozak for intro to acting. The class was great, and fun. As this class is meant to be. The course work was never intended to be rigorous. He is not the harshest grader, but participation in class is a must. As far as out of class work is concerned you will have some home work. The most important of which is seeing two plays outside of class
He is a great teacher and he's funny, but u have to show up and participate in the class. He's a pretty tough grader as well. Not such and "easy" A. Gotta do a little work
I liked Professor Kozak. He gives you his honest opinion- so for the sake of telling the truth, he may not say the nicest things but it's constructive criticism! Sometimes class was just playing improvacting games but at least they were fun. Do your work, show up to class, and show you're putting in some effort and he acknowledges it.
This guy is great. Even more, he deserves your respect.
Very active and engaging class.
Don't take this class if you don't want to perform. He is hilarious and makes me want to attend class.
Kozak is fabulous. I have had him once before and didn't enjoy his class, but this is much more his element. He was helpful, kind, and was always pushing us to be better than the U.S. we were 2 min ago. Sure he can have a short temper at times, but he just has no time for bs. Do your work and come to class... Easy A
At first, I taught he was a great teacher but he turned out to be a pain in the butt. He grades his papers differently and I hate it. He chooses students he likes to give good grades to. He just gave me a B and I know I tried my best. I taught it was an easy A. Don't take him.
I thought the class was great and I learned a lot about theatre that I did not know.
He's a great guy, take him
Material is boring. Expects you to talk for the sake of talking. If you're someone who only likes to chime in when they have something of value to add, pass on this professor or this course will completely stress you out, because you have no idea where you stand. I'm a theatre major and this course actually made me hate theatre for a bit.
Kozak is a great professor. He really knows the material and makes learning it interesting. The class can be boring at times, but for the most part the material is interesting. He is a tough grader so don't take the class expecting an "easy A." Participation is a must. I don't like to talk a lot, but he makes it a comfortable environment to do so.
Kozak was an amazing teacher! I had no interest in theatre what so what so ever before I took this class and now I have a greater appreciation for the art of theatre. You must come to class prepared and be ready to participate a lot in class. He is a tough grader, but is extremely helpful with feedback and is very passionate about the subject.
Chris is awesome when he is himself. When he is in his zone the class is fun and comes to life.
Professor Kozak is definitely the Sass Master. When he is having a good day, you know, and when he is having a bad day, you REALLY know. He likes to joke around but his words are never cruel. He is outrageously funny, always approachable, and made attending class worthwhile. I learned a lot from him and I would definitely take him again. :)
Mr. Kozak is HILARIOUS! By far one of my favorite teachers! He's very approachable and cares about his students and their success. Participation is a big part of class, but it's not hard to talk about the subjects in class because he makes the lectures come alive and is genuinely interested in your opinion. Would definitely take him again! :D
Professor Kozak is one of the most interesting and understanding teaher in the deparment of fine arts. He makes learning more fun and intriguing everyday. I would highly recommend to take this course and learn the central importance of the origin of theatre. Glad to have attended this class.
Professor Kozak is a talented teacher to have as your acting instructor. The way he teaches you how to act is very helpful. Also, he gives you feedbacks on your acting skills and tells you on what you need to improve on. He's a respectful teacher to look up to and I guarentee you'll enjoy this acting course.
He has a good personality and wants his students to do well, but he wants you to do well and won't just give you an easy A. There are a few papers and many, many notes. You do not want to miss class and he WANTS you there. attendance is a must! He try's his best to keep you interested. The effort you put into the class is worth it in the end.
He has a good personality and wants his students to do well, but he wants you to do well and won't just give you an easy A. He was very tough and if you have to be there no excuses! His class or the highway, he is a tough grader and you better not get on his bad side. I probably wont be taking another class with him.
This class has been kind of tough. do not expect an "easy A" because you wont get it. he wants you to do well but you have to earn it. coming to class is veryyyy important to him, even though some of the notes are very dry, there are still things that will catch your interest. He is a tough grader but has a great personality. The class is worth it.
Kozak is awesome! His class structure provides the perfect introduction into actingtheater. I have a better appreciation for playsshows now that I know how much work goes into the performances. His assignments are outlined very well. He wants everyone to do their best and works with you to get you there. His class was FUN everyday! Take his class
Kozak isn't a great acting teacher, you'll come away knowing a lot more about the world of acting.
Very accommodating and easy to get along with I would highly recommend taking this course! Also a great professor for students with any type of disability GREAT Class!! :)
Fun class! Took in a 6 week mini-mester, quizzes and test are from his power point slides, So take good notes! Fun and always active while teaching class! There will be papers for each test and there is also 2-3 projects, so be prepared to always be busy in this class! Overall fun, and great class, great teacher! Remember to be INVOLVED in class!
