I took a film class with Dr. Wojcik-Andrews, and even though it was overwhelming, I ended up learning a lot.

Ian is very helpful but can be hard to follow- wants you to "read his mind". I had a film class and a children's lit class with him. The film class was easier. He is thorough and friendly and he knows his stuff.

He knows his stuff very well. Very sweet and helpful. Love his accent.

Overall, a great class. Extremely helpful TAs, and if you go to the classes where he goes over the review for the tests, you'll ace them. Paper was graded fairly. Lots of info, but it's good stuff. Not a skippable class, though.

Great Teacher! If you show up for the classes and take good notes, you are guaranteed an A.

A great class overall. Extremely hard if you dont go to the classes does a great review for the tests, . The final paper is graded fairly( put lots of info and you do fine), .Just not skipp alot or you'll be screwed.

he is brilliant! and gorgeous! his english accent makes the girls drool! but more importantly he is fair, compassionate and very brilliant! he knows his theory and knows childrens literature--histocial and contemporary, plus film studies!

Ian is a very nice and helpful prof. Don't skip this class though, you'll need the notes. You'll have to buy a lot of reading books for the course, but you'll want these books anyway for teaching. Also, Be sure to know your grammar! :-)

Class is not too hard. Not skippable though. Make sure you have NO grammer mistakes in anything that you turn in though. Great accent!

Ian has a thick British accent, which at first it's hard to understand. He's got a good sense of humor and lectures well in a HUGE lecture hall setting.

interesting class, but as i am not an education major i do not want to learn about how i can make this "work for kids"...it's a lit class not an education class...i know its a req. for elem. education but please....

Ian is a great guy. He's always willing to help. He really knows his materials and kinda funny. At first it was hard to understand him due to his thick accent but it grows on you as the semester progress. Lecture was ok but must take notes and the class was not skippable.

shocked to see comments..He is not unorganized, just lets the class flow to where we take it. He is a very easy grader, easy to get a hold of and easy to talk to;what more could you ask for? 352, you can find most of the books at the library. AND he speaks PROPER English, with a slight Brittish accent. He is a great professor. I highly rec. him!!!

I had him for Lit 207, Lit 352, and Engl 450, and I thought he was an excellent teacher! He wasn;t disorganized, he simply had an idea of what he wanted the class to be like for the day, and then let things flow they way they did. He let us choose when we turned in our TAKE HOME mideterms and finals. He was an AWESOME teacher!

I took this class on independent study. Simple requirements - Four short papers (2-3 pages each); one main paper (8 pages), mid-term and final (each one 25 short answer questions). You get to select the papers out of multiple choices. If you are a self motivated person take this class independent study - you won't be sorry!

Took this online not alot of work, had some papers simple & short, sometimes unclear but after paper was graded he was willing to adjust because of the confusion. I would recommend.

Pretty easy must be in class, take notes when he is talking about past books assigned for the readings & you will do well. He will tests on these discussion of the books.

Man I LOVE this guy! He is a great prof- don't know what the negative comments are about. Super nice, good sense of humor, easy grader. Books he chooses are very good, but you don't really need the Norton as he does the notes out of it. Love his accent, perfectly easy to understand. Doesn't like noise in the room (coughing, papers rustling)

Hands down my favorite prof at EMU. Very easy to relate to- presents literary criticism without sounding like a pompous jerk. He doesnt try to sound smarter than his students but obviously knows his stuff- emphasizes the importance of literature to the child reading it, not the adult analyzing it. classes are super easy as long as you read

Quizzes sometimes seem tough, but he grades pretty liberally. His lectures are usually interesting and he's funny. My only complaint is that he never replied when I e-mailed him with a question.

awesome class and professor. Probably the best prof I've had EMU. Lot's of quizzes and reading, but if you attend and pay attention its pretty easy.

At first i thought this teacher was amazing, but as time went on i began to see his true colors. There is no arguing that he is a good teacher but he is also a jerk. He treated his students like we were back in high school. He had absolutely no respect for us and therfore i have no respect for him.

I took him for Intro to Childrens Literature and got a good grade. There were some jerks in our class and he came down on them pretty hard for talking and acting stupid but as long as you're not being an idiot he's cool. Some of the lectures were really long and you have to take a ton of notes, but you learn a lot. I'd take him again.

A lot of required reading materials. I recommend buying each book when needed. This professor is hard to understand at first because of his accent but it grows on you. He makes a lot of inside jokes and is funny. The study guides for the 2 exams do not follow what is actually on the exams. The TAs are very helpful & lots of extra credit available.

My favorite professor at EMU!!! Does move quickly through powerpoints, but posts them online. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Very funny, and joked around in class, but he really knows his stuff! His British accent never was a problem for me, he was easy to understand.

Awesome teacher. My favorite at EMU, he does require a lot of reading, but as long as you look over his powerpoints you're sure to do well on the exams and tests.

Great class and great prof. There are a lot of books to read, but you really don't need to read all of them if you don't have the time. He tells you which ones you will absolutely need to read, and for the rest just take good notes in class and you'll do fine. His exams will require studying, because sometimes he's not clear on definitions.

His lectures can get boring from time to time but he's an overall good professor. He has a few pop quizzes although he will usually email you about an hr before class to let you know. He asks you to read a lot of books and novels but I never read any of them and still go a decent grade. Just make sure you know the plot, setting, etc.

I really enjoyed this professor. He keeps his lectures interesting. The class seems overwhelming at first, but you will get over that quickly. Overall the class is relatively easy; come to class and take good notes and your golden!

Dr. Andrews is a wonderful professor. His quizzes are based all on his lectures, so attendance is mandatory. As long as you read the various books and take detailed notes, his class is extremely easy =)

Great professor. Gives many opportunities for extra credit, and tells you exactly what questions will be on the quizzes/exams. If you show up to class it's an easy A!

Ian is a wonderful professor. He's incredibly helpful and as long as you show up for class, it is a breeze~ Practically a guaranteed A :) (not to mention he has a really great voice/British accent =D)

I really liked this class! it was one of my favorites along with the professor. It was interesting and i learned a lot. He was extremely helpful, clear, and gave extra credit opportunities. I really don't get the negative comments.

really good professor. the negative comments are probably from people who don't want to do the work and read the books. he's a really nice guy, love the british accent. never a boring lecture.

A great professor who is passionate about teaching. Don't feel it's necessary to purchase all the books required for the class. If you attend lecture and focus in on the important content, you will pass the class. He is strict and expects his students to display a "scholarly" level of attention.

The lecture is huge, about 100-150 people. If you're not comfortable with that, this isnt for you. He's a pretty good professor, and his lectures are pretty clear. Just pay attention in class and you'll do fine. He doesnt accept any email submissions. He offers a TON of extra credit. (Only reason I received an A! I got 50 points of extra credit!)

When I first found out I had to take this class I was so mad. I thought it was going to require a lot of reading and work, but I was so wrong! This class was super easy and fun. I actually learned alot from Dr. Wojock-Andrews. You do not need to buy the books, just read summaries online. He is a great teacher and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! :)

Fun class, all lectures are on powerpoint and available online. Cool prof, down to earth and witty, likes to be helpful.

Awesome Professor!! He really knows his stuff. Not really necessary to buy the books if you read summaries online. Quizzes are over lecture material, one research paper, and then a midterm and final (which weren't too bad).

Ian was a good professor. He gave a bunch of extra credit opportunities! We had two tests but a bunch of quizzes which were easy if you read the book

Fantastic teacher! Clear, interesting, helpful. I really doubted how much I would like this course but it was great and I am so glad I took it with him. Participate in class. He will love it and you will do better.

Dr. Andrews is awesome! Loved the accent, it made class more interesting. Get the books at a library, go to class, write down stuff when he tells you to write them down. I wish he taught other classes, I would love to have him again. He has about 10 quizzes, a small research paper, a midterm, and a final. Lots of extra credit as well. Take him!!

Loved it! Readings were interesting, most of the books can be checked out at the library or through MelCat. Try to come to as many lectures as you can cause even though they are on powerpoint, he adds lots of sidenotes. Do the extra credit(or some) because the midterm and final is never multiple choice. In the end, the extra cred REALLY helps out.

Professor Andrews was awesome! Very funny and he was not boring at all. He did a great job keeping the lectures interesting and short. Lots of easy points like extra credits and open note quizzes. Great class. Highly recommend!

This professor is very enthusiastic about children's literature and pulls you right into his passion. He challenges you to think about how world events have played a major impact on the literature that our children have availble to them. The course offers a comparison between literature and film. I highly recommend this professor.

Just pay attention to his slides really well and you will do fine. You wanna take good notes, and if you do his test are super super straight forward. Its all short answer, which is definitely nerve wracking, but its all so straight out of his lecture that it pops right into your head. Very easy and I recommend him...read the books tho!

Decent professor and fairly easy class. He is very knowledgable on the topics but seems to move a little fast so note taking can be hard. I did have a huge class though so I had less opportunity to ask questions of him personally. His GA's did most of the grading and were very helpful. He definitely knows his stuff and tries to make it interesting.

Loved Ian! He is humorous and kind. Will get into conversations with you if you're interested. His class is interesting to attend, I recommend sitting in the front because it's a huge lecture hall. The reading guide is slightly confusing but you can email the TA's everyday and they will clarify. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

He made things clear in the class. But if you thought that taking this class would be easy because of childrens books you were wrong. Near the end gets into young adult books (300-500pg) that you read within a week sometime cram 2 in a week. If slow reader do not take. Research paper you should start early 5-6pg. Only 2 test, quiz every week.

Very interesting class! Very well done with some fun humor thrown in. If you love to read and can read fast, this is certainly a class you'll enjoy. Even if you can't get to the reading on a particular week, sparknotes and whatever else will suffice. Very fun!

Love love loved this class. Being a lecture, attendance is not technically mandatory, but I always went. It was enjoyable. Keep ahead on the readings and you will do fine. Dr. Andrews is an awesome professor. Extra credit opportunities.

Dr. Andrews is a great professor, I loved his class! He gives many extra credit opportunities, you just need to read all of the texts to pass.

If you actually talk to him he is really sweet! If he knows you from talking with you he will help you out, most of the quizzes are group quizzes and he gives you the answers and extra credit! You have to read a lot but a lot is from the lectures. I would definitely recommend!

He's alright. His lectures are long, and unclear because he tells us to write down random adjectives. I didn't read one of the books, and still passed with an A though. Mid term and final exam, 1 research paper, and weekly quizzes. Lecture slides are online.

This class was very interesting and you have a chance to learn a lot. I recommend this class for all Elementary Education majors.

Loved this professor, easy and right to the point. If you needed anything he was always there.

I love this professor. I'm taking him again in the summer. Totally knowledgeable in his field, but he understands that students are not, and that is why we are in class to begin with. His tests are tough and you'll need to devote some study time to any class with him, but overall he's easy to learn from. A wealth of information. One of the best!

Great Professor. Had him for 207 and again for 455. Great in the big lectures, but try and take a smaller class with him if you can. He's the only professor at Eastern who even bothered to learn my name. Really wants to hear what you have to say. Challenging, but not unfairly so. Highly recommended.

He is a solid professor, and has his teaching assistants do most of his work for him. You're graded on a couple quizzes, tests, and papers. It's lecture heavy, but the slides that go with it are pretty informational so if you miss a class or two it won't kill your grade. We read a lot, but they also go in depth about the books.

I've had Ian so many times I've lost count. Genuinely wonderful both as an educator and as a person. Each time I've had him, I've been asked to examine literature in new and impactful ways. Respectful and interested in the opinions of his students. You can't get away with not reading the books, though, so don't try it. He'll know. Highly recommend.

Dr. Ian was one of the best professors Ive had at Eastern Michigan. I would recommend his section to everyone that wants to teach early education. Hes super relatable, funny, and has the most adorable British accent. Absolutely loved this guy.

Ian is a wonderful professor! He's thoughtful, understanding, and he loves a good class discussion. No quizzes, no test, just two writing assignments and a presentation. He gives great feedback on everything. He sometimes shares food with the class (ask about his walnut paté), but he never shares the recipes - no matter how often you ask! :)

Prof Wojcik is one of the best professors I've ever had. I took this class for a gen ed without having much interest in it and he greatly surprised me by presenting the subject in a really interesting manner. His lectures are thought provoking and I enjoyed the required readings for the class. It is literature, so be ready to read, but Ian is great

Very nice professor who truly cares about you. Lectures aren't boring but aren't full of life either. Extremely helpful and very accessible outside of class, responds to emails with helpful information and in a timely manner.

Ian is a nice and awesome teacher! Many books since it's a reading class, but the assignments are very easy and even fun to complete! No lectures, just class discussions on interesting and philosophical ideas pertaining to the readings! Read the books and participate! He gives encouraging feedback and truly wants to hear your thoughts & opinions!

Ian is amazing! I really enjoyed taking this class. He makes learning about Children's Lit even more fun than it already is. The best part? The man has a British accent! Take his class if you have the opportunity! It is so much fun and he always makes us laugh.

Get ready to take notes, I fill several pages every lecture. As long as you're in class and take good notes, you'll do well on the tests and quizzes, which are all online and you're allowed to take them outside of class. The class discussions are pretty interesting, and he is a pretty funny guy.

Ian was a great professor. All classes are in a lecture format. His slides can be lengthy and not everything is on the slide, so take notes. He would throw out pop-quizzes. But as long as you knew what you were talking about, you'd get full credit.

Very kind and intelligent professor. Definitely one of the few professors I enjoy having after class conversations with. Lectures could take the entire class time but they are only pictured slides. All books can also be found online as pdf's. Do not be intimidated by the amount of books! Only literature class I have enjoyed in my years of school.

I love this guy! He is very good at making the lectures relate to relevant topics. I would definitely take a class from him again!

This was was interesting to take but kinda boring. I took this class during COVID so the format was a little different and i could tell the professor didnt understand online format very well. overall, he was very easy to reach out to and i would take this class again.

A lot of books were required & they were all free online pdf format but the assignments really didnt have anything to do with the books specifically, just lectures. Did not have a lot of assignments what so ever, about 6 assignments, 2 quizzes, and a 5-6 page research page at the end along with a final. Many lectures videos/power-points.
