Great teacher, you dont do well on your first paper but ace your last paper, your final grade is an A, took every class he teaches. Lectures are very interesting, doesnt give tests only two to three page papers. Papers are basically everything he said in class.

Great lectures; it's easy to tell that history is one of his passions. Grades were based our classes 5 fictional essays (no final) with a hint of participation. A's and B's were the most common grade on the essays if 4 of the 5 catagories were covered adequetly. His notes on the board, however, are a bit disorganized.

Professor Kasprowicz comprises what every good student wants from a teacher; he raises the bar for learning, but is clear in his expectations. He manages to raise the interest level in what could be a boring subject. If you want to learn, but need clarification on themes in history, this is your Professor. Oh, he's really cute too!

Great teacher, this guy knows his stuff. He makes the subject material quite easy to understand, he likes a lot of participation from students and seems to get excited when students know the subject. There was 5 non-fiction novels to read, but only portions, not the entire books. We never once opened the assigned text book, so don't buy it.

Lectures are clear, but he has a tendency to get behind schedule. The class is overall easy, which can be a con. He requires around six books. You might feel like you wasted your money on some of those books because you only use a bit of info from each. So get them cheap. Your are evaluated by two exams and three papers.

You don't really need to buy the books, though they are good reads, but you can learn everything from the class notes. Attendance is not mandatory, but it does make a difference grade-wise. I never understood why students do poorly in his class, when all you have to is show up for class, write down notes, and submit 3 papers. Thats all, very simple

I did not need the books for class, but I found helpful was voice recording his lectures. Everything that he asks for the three papers is all based off his notes.

He knows his material well and is passionate about it. I had never written Bio Poems before but he was clear about what he wanted and how you were supposed to do it.

Like taking 4 classes in one. Way too much work. You will get a bad grade no matter what you do.

Lots of homework
Beware of pop quizzes
So many papers

We turned in a total of 4 assignments throughout the semester. He makes it pretty clear on the instructions. He gives you a lot of pointers as well. It's really up to the student to put all the pieces together. It's not a hard class. Although attendance seemed unnecessary at times, it's best if you go to hear anything extra he says aside from notes

Obviously a lover of history. He made sure on the first day of class what was to be expected so there were no surprises. I'll take writing papers over test any day. Not an easy class but one that makes you think!

Idk why theres so many negative reviews. He gives 4 writing assignments and if you get anything lower than a C then you werent listening to pointers, tips and specific things he wants in your papers. I walked in this class terrified based on these reviews but he isnt terrible. Just listen to his lectures and write down everything!!Youll do fine

Pretty classic "good professor", honestly. The four creative writing style assignments for HIS-103 might seem a little strange, but I got A's on them, and most people in the class did well. He's available to talk about the subject matter and to help you if you're struggling. Good lecturer, he uses all the books, no tests or exam final in this one.

Theres tons of negative reviews on this guy. Idk why. I put in the work, read the books and took notes on info he puts emphasis on for the papers. I received an A in the class. If you do poorly its because you simply didnt try.

Dont let the negative reviews scare you. Hes a great professor and the class is easy if you actually pay attention to what he wants you to do. I did and got an A on all of my assignments. Hes pretty chill.

Mr. Kasprowicz. is very lecture heavy but very easy to follow. Show up, take some notes, and study the material and you'll do fine. I don't think anyone failed and if they did, it's because they either didn't turn in the one assignment he gave the due date for at the beginning of the semester or failed the three tests given. Easy and fair class.

DON'T LISTEN, to those that had negative things to say about Dr. K I took 4 different subjects with him, why? Because he is a GREAT prof! Anyone who says otherwise probably never showed up to class and never took any notes & more than likely procrasinated on assignments. I received an A in all 4 courses with him because i put in the work. Take him!

If you like a more independent work style this class is maybe for you. He makes you buy SEVERAL books that I honestly did not read. He bases assignments (the very few), on lectures and books, if you take notes and somewhat participate you will be fine. His grading is not the best and if you can take another course, it's not worth it.

Dr. K is awesome. Negative reviews are from students who don't want to put in work. His class was lecture heavy, you have to read & are graded on 3-4 papers. He is clear on what he expects from each assignment & encourages students to ask questions. I thought this class was going to be boring but Dr. K is a great professor. Take him if you can!

bad lectures, spaces out mid lecture writes useless notes with not enough detail on the board while telling us to take notes. Grades in a strange way, he doesn't want you to do good in your papers but wants you to just follow his instructions for the paper exactly and doesn't grade fairly at all.

Dr. K's class can be challenging, but if you put in the work - read the material, take good notes, and use study aids like Unstuck ai - you'll do well. Attendance is mandatory, but the lectures are worth it. Just be ready to write those 4 papers.

Be ready to read a lot of texts and books that are required for his class, I took him in fall 2024 and i can say he's a really great professor and his class was easy. just read the material and study for the exams and you'll pass. he truly cares about the topic he teaches and is very understanding with students and helps answer questions.
