Very hard professor, but there is a ton of extra credit.

If you memorize his material, you wont do well. You must actually understand the material! This is what college is all about.

One of the hardest classes I have taken. He is so boring and takes attendence every day! Yeah there is a lot of extra credit but u have to go to all the SI sessions and stay for an hour. Its too time consuming and too hard. Not worth it.

The class isn't THAT horribly hard, this is college, people, rise above it. Ask him for help and he'll give you tons, he's amazingly knowledgable and doesn't deal with immaturity, would you? He IS boring so try to get into the material. Good class

Hard to grasp material at first but help sessions are always available. Tests...yeah they are pretty difficult. Man is getting up there in age, just found out my aunt had him back in the 70's when UCF was Florida Technological University.Retirement ne1&

Class/material was very easy, don't understand why others had problems. Took it for an easy A. Teaching needs a bit of tweaking, just the rechecking of attendance is silly. For the first few weeks, goes over mult. choice homework as: Who put A? B&#63

If you go to his office to get help with a question, have someplace you "hafta" be in an hour. Or else, he with keep talking and talking. He is certainly friendly.

He is SOOO hard!!! There's tons of EC but its very time consuming! Very willing to help, but even with help the tests are still sooo hard! I never passed a test, but still got a B- in the class because of the EC.

Take this class only if you have a lot of time to do extra credit and study. You need to totally understand difficult topics in order to pass his tests.

his tests are just very, very specific. you can know the material well and still do poorly. seems harder than it has a right to be given the course level.

he takes mandatory attendance at least twice every class, but, honestly, having to stay there made me learn the material better. i got a B and had to study quite a bit. interesting material though. looks like mr. rogers.

Very nice man, wants to help his students. Lots of extra credit given. The test are challenging, but if you attend SI sessions you will get a good grade. You get extra credit for attending the SI. SI is the best thing.

I seriously can't believe the ratings this guy is getting. The class is not as hard as these other people are making it out to be. Just use your notes as a guideline while doing the homework and you should learn the material pretty quick.

these people are way off. he does teach a lot of material and you do have to study, but he is ALWAYS avaliable for extra help, and the SI sessions are a great help. also he allows make ups on EVERY single test to raise your grade.

it isn't easy, its alot of practical material, but this class is about how well you can apply the material, not how well you can regurgitate it. He is always available to help - take every makeup test he gives, they are averaged together and it helps alot

I loved Dr. Kujawa's class so much! Yes, it was difficult to get the hang of his "logic-based" tests, but I worked for my A, and became so enthralled that I signed up for his Independent Study course in the Fall. The material is fasicnating and

Material is interesting & he tries to make it fun, but he is hard to understand. Good slide shows and drawings; the notes are complicated. BUT he is very very helpful and the SI sessions saved my life. Encourages critical thinking, not just memorizing.

I did poorly on every test and still got a B. He gives make-ups, outside of class help, and the SI sessions were incredibly helpful, even if the lecture is boring and incomprehensible. Don't make the class harder than it has to be. Nice slideshows.

Very easy or very hard. most people get either A's or F's. Understand the homework and you'll be fine. Lots of wasted class time though, and he takes attendance.

Everyone says something different about him it seems but this is my observation: Most people breeze through it or struggle a lot. If you have an interest for rocks/geography/volcanos that type of stuff you should do fine. I must say thou, i've actually LEARNED the most in this class.

Dr. Kujawa is a very smart professor, but because he's from "the old school", he teaches like everyone is a future Geologist. NOT an easy class. Be prepared for lots of hw and studying, and tricky test questions. Very nice guy, but difficult! SI is a must!

Not difficult...just go to class! You don't need to buy the book or even take notes. Just "listen" to him. I earned an "A"...no make up exams, no SI. Just show up and listen.

this is not geology, its critical thinking 101! Its not straight forward at all and it takes serious studying. He's very helpful... I was thrilled to have gotten a D+, and I just had a 3.7 the semester before... be warned

I got an A in the class. Show up for class, listen to him and read along with the packet. Packet helps a LOT. I fell asleep during some films, but i still managed to get an A. Material adds on to what you learn previously, so dont erase it from your mind after the tests. I learned a lot in his class, and would take him again.

Do you know what a naked mole rat is? Here is a shining example of one teaching a class. The class is pretty easy, kind of a bummer that he takes attendance though. Slide shows are cooler than you would think, but if you have pet peeves this guy could be a problem for you. This class is actually more logic than science. Optional help sessions.

Easy class, no book required. He takes attendance, but it is worth extra credit in the end. Gives plenty of help sessions and is very willing to help you understand. Class is boring, but the material is interesting.

He teaches how things are related - not strict memorization. This is a tough course. Most of it involves learning Kujawa's teaching method. If you're logical, you'll do fine. Go to class (xtra credit!). Go to SIs (more xtra credit!) Do the HW (xtra..) Is it boring? Yes. Can you ACE it? YES.

This is a college course! You are required to put forth some effort! Dr. Kujawa is a remarkable individual and expects us to care about learning. He offers so many extra credit opportunities that it's ridiculous. Attend SI sessions and help sessions, and read your notes before class. You don't have to buy a book! Slide shows are amazing!

The guy lives for this class.If you ask him to meet you at 9am or 9pm to help you on a test he will be there.He offers 12.5% extra credit on your final grade.Read the notes he gives you and be able to deduce facts from it.Its like a class in logic.You can retake every test and he averages the scores.entertaining class.good prof i think..

This professor has a great grading system: you have plenty of extra credit to make up for numerous mistakes, and if you have regular attendance you can retake quizzes and tests. He basically gives every opportunity to make the grade you want as long as you put in the effort. The way he makes you think in this class is good if your an engineer. A+

The test in this class are hard and the questions are tricky, and the teacher is really boring. BUT he gives crazy extra credit. you are allowed to take every test and quiz over, going to class is extra credit, going to SI is extra credit, the final is optional, and all its just retaking any test you want to. TAKE THIS GUY!!!

Kujawa's class is extremely boring and he doesnt treat it like a GenEd class. He gives a lot of extra credit (SI, Homework, class attendance, staying after class). The test and quiz questions are very tricky, but he allows you to do a makeup. There are four exams and no final.

The material in the class is boring and no professor will make it better.He is a strange guy but he makes the class easy.You can retake every test and quiz.The homework is graded mostly by completion.If you attend the class and do the homework you will get an A.If you can't get an A, then you should drop out cause you won't pass any other class.

This class is one of the easiest I've ever taken. He give so much extra credit and retake oppurtunities that it is very hard to fail. You do have to go to class and do the homework though. Without doing these you will fail. If you do have a question about the material SI sessions are available and he will go out of his way to meet with you to help.

Really cool teacher. alot of people had a hard time understanding the concepts but i literally just went to class and payed attention and got an A in the course. he is VERY boring but when i began to smile at his quirkyness instead of laugh or stress out i was able to stay awake in class.the panoramic slide show at the end of the course is awsome!!

Class was very intimidating at first,Once you get the hang of things, it becomes an easy "A." You will have to do some work. Go to SI sessions and every class. He gives a lot of extra credit for this. The key is studying the notes and homework, and taking advantage of extra credit. He is also a nice guy. **Read tests carefully, they can be tricky!

At first I was furious. A lot of his answers are dependent on his own word games. Once you get the hang of it, though, it's a system that can be mastered. Not that hard, folks. And every attendance and daily homework is extra credit. He's a sweet guy, too.

If you do not like to study, do not take this class. I found I had to study every day for this class because of the volume of information. However, if you study hard and get used to the tests, you'll do fine. Geology is a good class to take because you can use it in your daily life and it's not just all about rocks, believe me.

I'm a logical person and engineer and love this class. I barely study and have over 100 because I understand the concepts. If you don't, you're screwed. As long as you are decent at deducing the answers to round-a-bout questions, you should do fine. But yeah, lectures are really boring, but his notes are amazing and you don't have to buy a book

Everyone complains about his notes and lectures but I don't see it. The notes are what were exactly on the test. He tells you this, and even tells you what pages of notes will be on the test. Study notes = Good grades. Everyone complaining here just assumed they didn't have to study, and didn't actually put any effort in. Hes a nice guy and helpful

Boring but easy, you buy a notes packet written by him instead of a textbook and just study it and you're good. Homework worksheets and attendance are extra credit (almost 9% added to final grade w/ perfect attd/hw completion). Tests also have some extra credit. All you need to do is study like 40 pages of notes and youre good for the whole course

The class is a little boring but it is not impossible. Its all about understanding the concepts. He tries to be a very helpful teacher but going to the SI sessions did the most for me. Getting an A in this class is not very hard, you buy the course pack and study it, simple. He is very nice and is willing to let you re-take test so there is always

I personally think it is a great class. Learned a lot and found it extremely interesting. Easy if you do your work, go to class and pay attention. SI, HW and attendance give you extra credit. Retakes for Quizzes & Tests are offered. Helpful professor, very knowledgeable.

Out of all my classes freshmen year this was by FAR the easiest class...I never studied, skip class a fair amount, and still made an A-. The notes are really clear and if you can memorize them you will do fine. The homework is extra credit but really helps you. By doing it all and going to every class you basically get a letter grade worth of extra

Dr. Kujawa's GLY 1030 is a fun course. He is a brilliant guy who teaches upper level chem. courses too. His exam format takes a bit of getting used but he gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit. If you are a slacker then avoid this course but if you aren't afraid to study a bit and really learn the material then it can be very interesting.

I Recommend this Professor. The material can be difficult AT TIMES. There is weekly homework. You get 5 pts extra credit for perfect attendance, and are able to retake ALL quizzes and TESTS!! There is SI, which if you attend, will get more Extra Credit. He will go through a test with you one on one if needed. You can tell he wants you to succeed.

Dr. Kujawa's class is well organized and he offers tons of extra credit. He gives 5 points extra for perfect attendance on every test and quiz. Every test and quiz can be retaken to attempt a better grade. He knows everything about the subject and can answer every question without a problem. You don't need the textbook because he provides the notes

Extremely easy class, but extremely boring. Gives 5% extra credit for perfect attendance. each test/quiz has extra questions for extra credit. The class is pure memorization, no application. very easy.

Overall I failed almost every test and quiz and I ended up with a B in the class. GO TO CLASS! Its an hour and you'll get so much extra credit. DO THE HOMEWORK! It prepares you for the test and you get so much extra credit. He is boring and tries to trick you on the tests but study for the tests and you shouldn't have a problem getting a B.

Dr. Kujawa is a master at Geology so he expects those that walk in, to be ready to learn the material. That being said, come to class, be respectful, do the hw, and listen to what he has to say. You can retake all the tests and quizzes, plus there is tons of extra credit; you should have no problem getting an A. He is old school, but very nice.

his teaching style is pretty monotonous and boring. it is hard to concentrate and the tests are very complex and nothing like the homework. however, he does review the test afterwards if you stay after class, and retakes are always available. it is a tough class to follow, mainly because of the layout of tests and lectures, but he is very helpful.

I really enjoyed Dr. Kujawa's Geology course. Yes, the material can be dry at times, but there are a ton of interesting facts about planet earth you learn during the semester. He's super nice and offers multiple chances for extra credit. His tests are on a Scantron but don't let that fool you, he's very specific with answers. Homework isn't bad

He took some getting used to, but I ended up really liking the class. His voice is very monotonous, so beware of that if you fall asleep easily. There are a lot of extra credit opportunities and he allows retakes on everything if your attendance is high. GO TO CLASS. You're setting yourself up for failure if you don't.

I'm not sure why everyone is rating him as a 4-5 difficulty, this class is not hard. Dude hands you an A he curves tests by throwing out 3-4 questions, has weekly help sessions, every test/quiz can be retaken, extra credit is given for attendance/attending help sessions. Idk how these people pass other profs classes at UCF if hes a 4-5 difficulty.

Great teacher, he is very knowledgeable on the subject and helps kids through the class.

Dr. Kujawa is a great teacher. To be successful you need to read all of the notes he hands out, pay attention in class, and study. He is very knowledgeable about the subject and emphasizes comprehension over memorization. He allows redo's on all quizzes and tests which is great. However, he takes 10 points off a quiz or test if he hears a phone.

Seminar was pretty basic from both semesters, but the grading of my seminar presentation was very fair (came a few minutes short of the target 14-15 minutes)
