Great Guy! Enthusiastic about his work, and has off and on quiz's...reviews right before. His exams are Easy just so long as you comprehend his material.. which shouldn't be a problem. He goes by a point system.. 40 points total for quiz's... 30 points maximum for exams... if you exceed your quiz points he counts as extra credit.

Professors like these are a rare find, he actually teaches well and makes the subject interesting. I actually enjoyed coming to class.

Jaworski is an amazing professor and does justice to such a great course (Critical Thinking). The daily assignments are reviewed by him in the end and is just a means to take attendance (which is not required but will be helpful). Reviews are handed out which help tremendously on exams. HIGHLY recommend him.

I took Critical Thinking and the class was easy. There are 4 exams, class work, and one essay. Attendance is not technically mandatory but it might as well be since he gives easy classwork each day that is 15%. There are notes on BB and no book needed. The material might get kind of confusing but don't study only the night before and you'll be ok.

It was an easy class and not boring (he tries to be cool which is funny at least). You don't have to buy a text book since he gives you notes online. There are four exams and an essay and an assignment for each day but no curves (which is ok bc it's not hard). I got an A; I just wished he wouldn't give assignments bc I never like going to class.

Mr.Jaworski is one of the best professors I've taken. He's really funny and laid back. There are four exams and one paper. He does not require a textbook.

Awesome. Take him. Now. Or Fluffy will come after you. Seriously, he explains everything using Fluffy the Cat which makes it really easy to understand, but entertaining as well. He doesn't require a text book which makes the class cheap, and you only need to review for an occasional easy test, and write a really easy paper at the end. Take him.

Super easy class, if you attend class you get extra credit and his lectures are pretty interesting.

Dr. Jaworski is very passionate about philosophy and he transmits that passion in every lecture. There is only one test (midterm), a group project and a final paper. You will get an A as long as you understand the class, which you really need for the 7 page final essay which takes the place of the final.

This man is very lecture heavy and he wants us to get in groups each and every single class. I am honestly tired of it that I just ignore my other teammates and just talk in front of class

Honestly he wasn't as bad as everyone here makes him seem to be. LOL. He is a bit boring because he does lecture the entire class. However, he makes it interesting. It's mostly about situations that happen and real world problems. It's a critical thinking class. It's actually really intriguing. There is only 1 test, 1 presentation, & 1 final paper.

Super boring and useless class. He doesn't know how to teach properly. I had professors teach boring subjects making them interesting. This guy doesn't know how to make an already interesting subject more interesting, he insteads makes it very useless and boring. He is a useless professor, one of the worsts to be brutally honest!

He's really not as bad as everyone here says he is - this class was an easy A. Just show up, listen to him lecture, and you're good. He never assigns any homework - the only things he does assign are 1 midterm, 1 presentation, and 1 final essay. He's a pretty fun guy and he's not tough at all.

So this class was a requirement for my degree and it was a total waste of time, but I think Jaworski knows that and is cool about it. He doesn't force you come to class, tells you ahead of time when the tests and papers are due and lets you make them up if you don't show up on that day. I went to the first two lectures and got A's on every assignm

Jaworski is a very boring lecturer. I fell asleep in his class most of the time. Philosophy being an interesting subject, he makes it boring for me. He will also fail you if you do not show up. He gave me a D minus for being tardy most of the time.

Honestly, the class is boring but you don't have to go. There is one test and honestly you just have to study the powerpoint the day before and you will be fine. You then have a group presentation that if you have friends in the class it will be an easy project. Then you write a final 6 page paper about the presentation. Easy A!

Grades you on only 4 assignments. Do what is asked and you'll pass. Be aware that this is a engineering based course. You can still pass if not a engineering major. He is seriously a tough grader. If you do not go to class you will fail even if attendance is not mandatory.

Took this class in summer, I basically slept through all his online lectures then re watched all his zoom lectures before the midterm and almost got a B we also had a group project that I barely helped out on and we got a decent grade, for the final paper I wrote it 2 hours before it was due I thought I might not pass but got a B in the class

If you are reading the reviews and thinking ohhh this might be a bad professor, well let me tell you that he is a really great professor. You will have one midterm which i enjoyed taking . Then you will have a presentation to make with a team of four. finally, you will right a paper that have to be 6 to 8 pages long over the presentation you made.

So you might be wondering, why does Jaworski have such a low score? Well, if you happen to scroll down, we can see that during Fall 2017, he was spammed with a large number of negative reviews. It is clear that a lot of these reviews came from a single person. All in all, Jaworski was a great professor that I'd highly recommend.

I took the summer class, which is a packed 4-week cram of a subject. In that short time, Professor Jaworski got me interested in ethics. Not only that but with his easy tests and interesting group project, his class was amazing. I know people say that his class was boring, but that was not my experience at all.

the beginning of his class was a bit confusing bc there wasn't any actual assignments until 2.5 months into the semester. i had him asynchronous but he posted his lectures, he is VERY knowledgeable and passionate about his teachings if u listen. the only grades are the presentation, midterm, final, and some other responses. he gives extra credit

Dr. Jaworski did a good job in teaching this class. He explained what was expected and the material well. We were graded on a midterm exam, one group presentation, four responses to other's group presentation, and a final 6-8 paged essay. It's a simple class and I enjoyed learning the material.

We didn't start doing work into the second month of the semester. He has monotone voice and speaks a lot. Does not provided a lot of support to understanding subjects, and does not answer emails fast. I honestly wish I had not taken him, I was graded more harshly than in my English class.

There is a group presentation, midterm, responses to other presentations, and a final paper (individual). All of these things are heavily graded especially the group presentation, midterm, and final paper. Read his PowerPoints thoroughly, he knows his material like the back of his hand and will tell you if you misinterpret something.

It's simple. If you put in effort, talk to the professor, ask him for help, and do all your work, you can get an A. This class is graded on a handful of things so you should do them with the maximum amount of effort. Make sure to talk to him before turning something in, he will give feedback and it will help you. He is a strict grader, but not bad.

Attending lectures isn't mandatory, and he records his presentations and puts them on Blackboard. There is a midterm, a group presentation, and a final paper. He gives you everything you need to pass and will provide honest and good feedback when asked. This class isn't an "easy a" you will have to put in a bit of effort to get a decent grade.

Professor Jaworski runs a structured class, but if you put in the work, you can excel. unstuck study was a game-changer for my study prep, complementing the textbook and lectures. While strict, he provides valuable feedback.
