Dr. Dave is the greeatest professor at WP...He makes the most boring subject matter in English understandable and entertaining at the same time. He's knowledgable in the subject area aand puts the well being of his student first.
He is simply AMAZING!! Best professor of all, I wish all my professors were like him, I really do! He is THE BEST :)
Easy,fun,hot!

Critical writing is not what it seems w/ this guy. Great sense of humor, good grading system and easy work.
He is my English Advisor and he will help you out with anything...he is sooooooo nice!
Doctor Dave Rules! He is the greatest professor I've had here and William Paterson would be idiots if they ever let him go.
Dr. Dave is awesome...so sweet and funny...class is a blast with him and he is so willing to help...easy class and easy grader...take him as much as you can for all ur english courses :)
This guy is simply "the best"
Dr. Dave is cool.
great great great man...take him for methods!
He is the best english teacher!!! He understands that the material isn't the best but still makes it awesome. Hoping to take him again in the future, he is funny and smart and just makes the class fun!!!
Dr. Dave is the BEST! If you want a class you enjoy going to, this is it! He is very engaging, inteligent, interesting, and FUN! He has a great sense of humor and can make anything funny! He is GREAT! He is HOT for an older guy too!!!!
Dr. Dave rocks! You learn so much from him and he makes it fun to come to class.
One of the best teachers I've ever had.
DR. Dave is the best english professor anyone would love to take. He is also a great help and makes learning fun in his class. He is the definition of a TEACHER...someone who helps you!!!!! He's the greatest!!!!!!
DR.B is the greatest teacher in the world. He's very nice and very funny. He lets u pick the amount of work u do in the class, so what could be better. Willy P would be thew worst school ever if they got rid of him.
Dr. Dave.. he's just amazing.. Alot of fun, makes it easy for you to do well and we watched FIGHT CLUB hehe I would take anything he teaches!
I'm looking forward to taking other English classes with Bored Cow on Skis! I think he's a great guy who would go out of his way to help you if you needed it. And his assignments are all very easy to deal with.
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! This is what a college class is supposed to be! Great conversations in class. Papers are challenging, but he is a fairly easy grader who cares more about the meaning of your paper than the punctuation and such. Take him! It's worth it!
DR. DAVE IS THE BEST!!! he's funny, teaches well and it is fun to be in his class. It is just writing a bunch of papers (not too long) and handing them in. He likes class discussions. take him!!! i took him 2 times and want to take him again! A definite take...
this is a really good teacher to take. He is funny and does not give tests. he gives a few papers but you get to decide the length. I recommend this teacher. he likes to be called Dr Dave
He was the man- easy and easy going out work.
Nice guy, almost too nice. Groupie-factor is high in his classes.If you can handle a lot of cutesy-pie squealing girls trying to get away w/o doing much work, then you can handle Dr. Dave's class. Don't misunderstand, he is a good teacher,helpful,open to questions,but I wonder if he dumbs down his classes to accommodate some of the less studious.
he is nutty...very nutty...but funny, and easy
a weird professor...the only good thing about him is he is really easy with grading and work. he is a nut job, who tries too hard to make everybody laugh...with weird voices... and he says a lot of things he shouldnt be saying.
awesome guy! very easy grader and very helpful.. class discussions are very interesting and fun! you'll love this class..
Borkowski is wonderful he is funny and keeps you paying attention.
The Nutty Professor! Seriously though, a very nice personality but do not take his niceness for a sign of weakness. Do give him the respect he deserves, he is the teacher after all! He chooses topics that are very interesting and he makes you laugh. Great combination! You'd be crazy not to take him. I'm glad I did!
he is one of those ppl that u either like or u don't. if u get creeped out easily, he is not the guy for u. i guess he was ok .. he is crazy but easy. i think he has a squirrel fetish.
Friendly professor with a wacky sense of humor. Well-read and knowledgable but has no problem letting students vegg out during his oft-complex material if they don't want to put in effort. You get from the class what you give in to it. Writers will enjoy his very thorough positive feedbacks on papers. "Dr. Dave" was a pleasure & highly reccomended.
DR. DAVE is the man to take for this course. Very funny and keeps the class interesting. The reading was not overwhelming and the papers were reasonable. He realizes that his class is not the only class we may be taking and his expectations reflect that. If you don't like wacky, off the wall humor, stay away, but for those of us who do...AWESOME!!!
id hate to think there is something wrong mentally w these people but for liking him but to have vision problems too and give him a hottie rating...he is nuts, yes easy because he has the attention span of a squirrel
Dont listen to the bad comments! Dr. Dave is smart and does not have the attention span of a squirrel. I loved his class, and as a person he is great to talk to. He deserves every great rating on this website..cuz he is that awesome. So people take this professor, before you get stuck with someone who sucks.
I dont know where the hottie rating came from. But he is a funny guy if you like the creepy type. He doesnt follow a real syllabus or grading system so grading is easy. You will learn alot about squirrels
i dont know what these people are talking about, Dr. Dave was awesome! doesnt follow a syllabus, you watch movies and just talk all the time. the readings are even pretty interesting, and as long as you do the work, easy A. def take him!
I LOVE DR. DAVE!!!!!!!! The best professor at Willy P. If you get the opportunity you must take him. He is brilliant and hilarious. Not a class went by where he did not have me cracking up. He's very broad in his paper topics, and papers only had to be 2-3 pages. DR.DAVE IS MY FAVE!!!!!!!!!
Willy P. is lucky to have Dr.Dave. He is the best and sooooo nice. He truly cares about his students and his main objective is to help them succeed. I wish I could take him for all my english classes, I have taken a lot of english teachers and he is by far #1.
Dr. Dave is the MAN! I love him. He's so funny and keeps your classes interesting. Easy grader. He lets the class choose how many absences are acceptable, how many papers to write, how long the papers should be.Unfortunately, in my class we had this annoying blond girl who wouldn't shut up and that took away a little bit from Dr. Dave's awesomeness
hands down, the best teacher at willyp. i would take dr. dave for every english class if i could, he's fun and interesting and i actually learned things in his class. i love him.
Pretty easy class. Would have been alot better if it wasn't for the longest most boring book ever he assigned, continental drift. Overall though easy. Should probably take him.
Dr. Dave is the funniest and hottest English professor at Willy P. He is definetely number 1 above all Prof. there. He is funniest and hottest!
Not only the best prof in the eng dep but the best prof in the whole school. very funny, interesting,and kind. Lets you pick # and length of papers, and # of absences. Very fair grader. lets you redo papers under an A. I never got tired of going to his class...definately recommend him for anything he teaches!
He is an awesome professor. Very laid back and fun making his class something to look forward to. He is very reasonable if you need to be late or absent. The books he chooses are very interesting and easy to read because they are entertaining. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
He has a great teaching style. Very easy to follow and very fair. Not very hard to pay attention in class. Lets you pick your days absent and the length of you papers. Thumbs up.
Dr. Dave is the greatest teacher in the Eng. department.If you are an Eng. major you shouldnt leave and not take one of his classes.You will love his reading assignments;they are all interesting.I look forward to going to his class,+ he's hilarious.You couldnt ask for a better prof. I took him for methods and critical writing and I got A's in both.
Dr. Dave is awesome. If you like to have some fun while you learn this is the guy for you. ***He really values quality over quantity and thats what makes him the best.*** Really cares about his students and how they do. If you get under a B- in his class its sad. Understands you have other classes and a life. Id take him every sem. if I could.
if i had a professor like him for every class, i would actually enjoy being educated...ill leave it at that
I am gonna miss this man.. and his sense of humour
Awesome teacher!! I wish I took him before because his grading is extremely easy. Has a terrific sense of humor. BOY..i'm def. going to miss him and his class. His class was the FIRST night class for me...and I LOVED IT!! So worth my time. Let's you choose the length of papers, gives you a day off, and leaves early EVERY CLASS!! Take HIM!!!
He is by far one of the best professors I have had in my college career! I took him for Critical I and II. He is HILLARIOUS!!!! He is also VERY VERY helpful with everything whether is is things inside or outside of the classroom. We need more English Professors like him on this campus :) TAKE HIM! Such a great guy!
Throughly enjoyed the class. Dr. Dave was witty and knowledgeable. Show up. Do the work. Participate and you will do well. Probably one of the most enjoyable college course I've taken and that says a lot for Grammar and Style!
awesome professor! Take him if you can!!!!!!!!! everything about the class is fun and i actually enjoy going to class because of him!
easiest teacher in the world. Very nice, just take him for an A if you really don't care. Funny though.
He is hilarious!!!!!!This class cant get any easier. Class attendence wasnt really mandatory but everyone showed up. He is GREAT and did I say hilarious?!?!?!
Great teacher . very nice and understanding unlike many other professors.
Took this professor for two classes and hopefully more down the road. Great professor, Very understanding when it comes to assignments.. Take him if you have the chance!!!! Well worth it!
Dr. Dave is a great professor. He is really easy to take and really funny. Papers we write are always of an interesting topic. Read the assigned readings to participate in the discussion the next class. If not participate anyways the discussions always get interesting. Great professor! TAKE HIM! Be creative and have fun!

Took him for development of the english language over the summer. the class was long and sometimes boring, but he can be pretty hilarious at times. definitely worth taking over the summer. it went by fast and the work load isn't bad at all. i would take him any chance i could. great teacher!
Dr. Dave is an awasome person, he really understand whats having other classes not like others professors that will load you with work not caring for other classes assingtments he understands. He is an easy grader as well I took his classes almost all of them because I was an english major so it was worth it I will take him again for grad school
I love this man. He is very fun and entertaining. Very understanding and nice. Sarcastic. Loves participation.
Dr. Dave is such a relaxed, fun professor. The work he gives is easy, and he'll give you a full week to get it done. You watch "films" in class, which is fun. Overall, a really funny, really great professor. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone. :)
I took Borkowski any chance I got. Hes a great professor. HIs courses are interesting and relate to todays world. Hes an awesome professor ! I would take him again in a heart beat! He is understanding with attendance and papers are not hard at all.
He is one of the best professors ! I took every class he taught because he was that easy going, understandable, hilarious, and interesting!
I loved his class!! Great teacher allows you to rewrite papers for a better grade...
great professor loved the class understands a college work load it is light but you learn a lot
Dr. Dave is the man! He's so funny, nice, helpful, and insightful. I would definitely take him again if I had the opportunity. He gives about 4 papers any length you want and gives the opportunity to re-do them if they are not what he was looking for. He grades on a check to check plus scale and uses the textbook liberally for readings. I love him!
AMAZING. take him. so easy. it's just soooooooooooo easy.
I took Dr. Dave for 3 classes and he is amazing! I got A's in all of them! He lets your re write papers for a better grade and cares about his students! TAKE HIM!
Dr. Dave is amazing! I took his course over the summer, and plan on taking a course with him in the fall. He is really funny, and he makes the class fun and interesting. He tries his best to answer questions and appreciates what every student has to say. I learned a lot in this class! He is truly one of the best professors at William Paterson!
Best teacher ever! so understanding and down to earth. cares about students. can't wait to take other courses he teaches!
He's Amazing! I enjoyed his class, he's very helpful and understanding.
I have taken Dr. Dave in both undergraduate and graduate courses and would take any course he teaches. He is by far the funniest, most relatable professor at WPU and he uses pop culture references to help you understand texts regardless of how challenging they are. Such a great guy and an even better professor to learn from. TAKE HIM!
I normally only post on this site to warn students about horrible professors, but I'm posting this because I'm done with school and I actually miss Dr. Dave's lectures. He is hilarious and I actually looked forward to going to his class. He actually knows how to get a decent discussion going and assign meaningful work.
Dr. Dave is amazing! He's a relatively easy grader. If your paper isn't good, he will give it back to you to get a better grade. Very friendly and approachable. Take him!
Dr. Dave is an amazing teacher. He keeps the class interesting and always throws in his unique humor. Gives you a few taser tests, which are not hard, as long as you study for them. There is some reading, but this is the easiest of all things to do. And, of course, there are a few papers to be written. Don't fret though, he is kind.
Professor Borkowski is the greatest man you'll ever have for your English class. He is a very unique man, that makes class exciting and enjoyable. I absolutely loved his class. You'll have a great time in his class
Absolutely amazing teacher take him and get an A
I love professor Borkowski! He's kind of weird but he's hilarious. I really enjoy coming to his class, always makes me laugh. He's not a tough grader and he only assigns 3 major 4-5 page papers and makes us read like 5 books. He's very lenient. I highly recommend him to anyone. He's very friendly there should be more professors like him out there.
Amazing professor, never takes attendance, 4 papers due, super easy papers easy grader, and lets you rewrite them if you want a better grade. Super accessible outside class. want you to participate and laugh at his jokes EASY A
One of my favorite professors. Took him for "Critical Writing 1" and "Films and Literature." He makes the subject so much fun to listen to. You have to write response papers, 2-3 pages, which are easy, and he gives you a second chance to submit with corrections. If you don't get an A, it is because you are lazy. Not heavy reading.
Wish I had this Professor earlier at WPU. Hes really funny. Knows how to relate his material to out lives. A few papers to write, not difficult. No exams or quizzes. Reads a lot of material, so be ready to read. Participate in class and you should be fine. Love this class, would love to take more with Prof. Dave! Def recommended!
He's an amazing/funny professor, sad to say I'm finished with all of my eng courses needed but I would take him again if i could. For Global lit we had to read atleast 6.5 novels and that was the only homework. We had class discussions about the book, almost like a book club. One final paper was due at the end of sem about the themes of 2 books.
Such a kind & funny guy!! Very easy class, a few papers, no final! Best professor Ive had so far!
Dr. Dave is amazing. He is always cracking jokes! He is an easy grader and very understanding. A lot of reading, but if you didn't read it, he doesn't mark your grade down for that day. He is very chill, take him!
Absolutely awesome! I enjoyed reading all the books he assigned and the books he assigned were not hard to read. He gave amazing feedback and he made you think about your responses in a different perspective. He definitely made this a very interesting class and Im very glad I got to experience it during my last fall semester !
I love Dr. B so much. Really fun lectures, lets us take the lead when it comes to participation and class discussion, and total freedom when it comes to writing papers. There's a lot of reading but you can honestly get away with not reading as long as you shmoop it and participate a few times. Only three papers for the whole class and theyre easy
he's nice and funny, lenient with due dates as long as you get it in, but class time is spent talking about nothing. you don't even have to sparknotes the book. he talks for most of the class period and doesn't lead any kind of discussion. i like him a lot as a person, but as a professor, not the most engaging. take if you want an easy pass.
professor borkowski was amazing. he was easy going, understanding, inspired critical thinking and some effort in our papers
Borkowski was very kind and wacky. Always played music in the beginning of class and encouraged thoughtful conversations about the text. His expectations of students are very reasonable. Only 2-3 papers for the semester and they are not more than a couple of pages. Definitely recommend as a professor.
Professor Borkowski was great! The class was fairly straightforward, with constant reminders to keep you on track. The stories he chose during our semester were all in my wheelhouse, so I had a ball. Writing requirements were reasonable, and plenty of time was given to complete them. Enjoy the experience; I highly recommend it.
Borkowski is a kind, funny professor who makes this easy class enjoyable. With just a few short papers and no final, I highly recommend leveraging Unstuckstudy and the free textbook to ace this course.
so boring i barely ever attended and when i did i tried so hard to stay awake. all u do is watch films while he makes the most unfunny jokes known to mankind. just dont do it he may be easy but you're literally gonna struggle to even show up
most of this class is dad jokes and u dont rly learn anything. he posts nothing on black board, not even a syllabus u lose track of whats going on very easily. not a hard or bad class but wouldnt recommend
One of my favorite professors i have ever had. He was just so personable and funny. Is papers were so easy and he literally said to view his class as a book club. I will remember his class always and is genuinely one of the best experiences i have had at this school.
He's the best, and I mean that. He's charismatic and hilarious and fantastic to talk to. He gives good feedback on papers and appreciates the actual content. He genuinely loves literature and will teach you so much.
