awesome teacher. he's really clear on everything, and he writes the notes on the board. make sure you write down notes and do your reading notebook, you will regret it later if you dont..trust me!
Enthusiastic, involved, stern yet fair, and very realistic.
great teacher, a rarity, as good as Alan Mitnick but different methods.
teacher was awesome!! he made the class fun! good teacher
Real nice teacher, I had fun in his class.
Awesome teacher... really great guy. He's an absolute stickler for grammar and punctuation but he really is there is you need help. Would definetly recommend taking him for any class he's teaching.
Prof. Drakulich is a great teacher, I would definitely recommend taking his classes. He has a way of brigning history into the present to make you understand. Although if you do take his class fair warning his is very serious about grammer and punctuation.
He's really kind of crazy but in a good way, I was afraid I would end up falling asleep in a history class but I didn't, it was fun. Like someone else said he is a stickler for grammar and all but I want to major in history so I guess I have to get used to it. A++
A really good professor. Makes a boring subject interesting, doesn't bombard you with work. Will definitley take him again if possible.
He is awesome.If I had another humanities class to take it would definitely be with him.He is a stickler for the reading notebook but well worth it.He makes things so easy to understand. Love him
it was a good class and the final exam will be hard if you don't have enough info in your note book
Professor Drakulich is one of my favorite professors. I had him for two classes and he made both philosophy and western civ very interesting. He makes it easy to take notes and is passionate about what he does. A+
he's awesome!
Took Prof. D in Philosophy loved him. Had to take him again this time online for Political Science...class was great however, I missed the face to face class time with him. I think he is an excellent Professor and lots of Kudo's to him. I would definitely take him again and again. In different courses of course..;-)
Prof. Drakulich is the best professor I've ever had. I always hated history but I'd love to take a second semester with him because he's so great. He's absolutey hilarious and makes class worth looking forward to. He is a fair grader and he explains the material so well you don't even need to look in the book.
He was so unorganized. His tests were from the notes but you had to teach everything to yourself because of his lack of organization and also due to the fact that he wouldn't go in depth on very important topics. I would never take him again.
AWESOME professor..he'll make history interesting definitely!!!1
best teacher i have ever had, could possible find a career in stand up comedy... prof drakulich is not only an awesome teacher but the coolest and most interesting person ive ever met
great professor, made subject really interesting, super funny guy which was refreshing in an early morning class. doesnt overload you with assignments, and easy to prepare for tests as long as you get all the notes.
Proffesor Petar Drakulich is a good professor he's definately entertaining, He may be offensive to some but I still think he's over all cool.. He keeps it interesting and is definately fair as long as you show up and take notes its easy. He isnt horrible on the eyes either ;)
Drakulich is an outstanding professor. His grading system is fair, he is passionate about the subjects he teaches, which will make you appreciate the class even more. I would rearrange my entire schedule just to take this man's classes.
I developed an enjoyment for history, and changed my major because of this Prof. He is the best that PCCC has to offer.
He is a great prof! His grading is fair. He teaches really well and makes it easy for students to understand & learn about history.
Best professor I've ever had. His humor makes you look forward to his class. No work that is hard- just take notes & you'll get a deffinate A. Liked him so much I made sure i had him 2 more times!! he really is a great professor. makes something is not interesting-- interesting, just by the way he'll explain it to the students
great teacher!
Professor Drakulich is probably the best at PCCC. His class is interesting and intriging. If you takes notes and pay attention you will most likely pass and have fun doing it. A+
I had him for western civilization, and it was the first history class i ever actually paid attention and received good grades in. He's a really funny guy; he makes the class entertaining and doesn't give boring lectures. You don't use the textbook at all, and the tests are directly from the notes. I'd highly suggest taking this professor
Very funny guy, makes history fun and interesting. I love getting up to go to his class.
I think he is a fabulous teacher. I've never had so much fun in class. He really makes the lectures memorable so that it is impossible to forget the lessons. I would highly recommend taking him for history if you are not a history lover. Drakulich makes history fun and interesting.
I took him for Western Civ 1&2, as well as American History 1&2. I would recommend any of his classes to anyone. He is smart, funny, engaging, and a great teacher for students regardless of if they like history or not.
Prof. Drakulich is honestly the best prof out there! He is intresting, funny, and very helpful
Had the privledge of having him for history and philosophy. BEST professor/teacher I've ever had. Never had any interest in history and now I'm a history and secondary education major. Makes the class interesting. Funny and attractive! I wish I could go back to PCCC just to take him again.
One of the most entertaining professors ever! I always hated history and philosophy and he made them both incredibly interesting and easy to understand. He is very funny and really knows how to get on the level of his students. Take him! You don't regret it!!
I had him for both western civ. As well as philosophy and enjoyed his teaching style. I'm not very interested nor good at history but in his class I actually enjoyed the subjects we learned as well as did well.
I took western civ as an online course and it was terrible. no materials until the second week of classes and even then I don't think he knew how to use Blackboard. never posted materials or participated. Easy course but a big waste. Read the book on your own.
Always brings down your grade in the written portion of the tests, only got 3 wrong from multiple choice question and answered the written completely correct, but my grade was lowered from an A to B+ for no reason and I wasn't the only one becuase others were comlaining. I got an A- in both En Comp 1 & 2 when most were got Cs, but a B on his paper
Very difficult with the written portion of test, lowers your grade even if you get it completely right. Got an A- in both En Comp 1&2, but a B on his paper. Felt like taking advaced En Comp 3. When students asked for clarification, he refused to clarify and abused his authority and threatened the class with consequences.
I took Prof Drakulich for western civ I & II.He's the best and most interesting professor I have taken in a long time.Prior to taking his class I hated history and then I took his class;he makes the class so fun with his exciting lectures.His papers do require work so do NOT think it is something you could type up an hour before class. His intellig
Took this professor for western civ I & II, he is awesome!He grades fair but must pay attention in class (which he makes interesting) and type good, well grammered papers...His intelligence and dimples make him so cute!
Had him for western civ 1 and 2. Very interesting professor. He actually teaches instead of reciting things from a book. He's a fair grader and easily keeps your attention. Without a doubt the best teacher I have had on any level. Do not talk to people around you or play on your computer because he will not hesitate for a second to kick you out!
Drakulich is crystal clear! He made history a game, and he mapped out the facts with utmost ease. He shouts and is a little intimidating, but he knows the material by heart and wants his students to do their best. Great class, recommend him any day.
This guy is amazing. Without a doubt the best professor I have ever had. I've taken two of his classes and passed with an A each time. If you attend class, you will pass and completely comprehend the material.
I absolutely love this professor. I have taken him for 4 classes and I am going to cry when I graduate. Best Professor ever.
nuts and out of his mind but a fantastic teacher. am taking a third class of his next semester. write down what he writes on the board and pay attention, and passing is a given. rather tough grader on written papers. makes learning fun. made me a fan of history. if u need a history try to get in one of his classes, you will not regret it
The best professor Ive ever had! He shouts, curses, and is a tad intimidating, but he knows how to relate to his students. Ive always hated history, but he made it fun and easy to understand. Almost never uses notes or books. He knows all his information by heard and can recite it perfectly. I recommend him for every history and philosophy class.
Had him for western civ 2, and Political Science, great professor, really helpfull. Took him online, and he was very clear, and easy to use online, unlike some prof that confuse the hell outa you. Would take him again in a heart beat.Enjoyed his class
PROF D IS THE BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD - HANDS DOWN! I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING HISTORY CLASSES SINCE THEY WEREN'T INTERESTING THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL BUT HE MADE WESTERN CIV ONE OF MY FAVORITES NOW - THANK YOU SO MUCH PROF D!!!
Petar Drakulich is most likely the greatest community college professor. He can take history and break it down and deliver it as if it were a non-ficional tale.
Actually makes history fun! Straight forward tests with review sheets. Take notes and pay attention and you'll do fine.
I have had this professor for US history, Western Civ 1 and 2 and philosophy!! I cant get enough of him! Totally hot and makes history fun and easy! EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE HIS CLASSES ASAP!!
Awesome teacher! Brings the lesson alive. Tough but worth it. If he seems monstrous to anyone, I'd advise to suck it up and actually pay attention.
This teacher is Very helpful and easy to understand. If you put in the effort you will come out with a good grade.
Great teacher very helpful. I would highly recommend him.
Awesome teacher. He relates to the class and while his teaching methods are some-what unorthodox that is what makes his classes so much fun. Had him for philosophy and taking him for Western Civ 2 next. Cannot wait to have him as a teacher again.
Really simple class, he responds to emails quickly, and it's really simple work for an online class. However, he is a very harsh midterm and final exam grader!
Professor D. Is one of the best professor at pccc. I 100% recommend his class. He's very nice and easy, but you have to take notes and listen in class if you want to get an A. He doesn't use the book, so that's a plus. Books are too expensive.
I had 0 interest in history prior to taking his class. I found myself voluntarily watching documentaries at home every night to learn more. He pushes students to do their best and guides them correctly to do it. I looked forward to his class and his enthusiasm and plan on taking at least 2 more with him before graduation.
Love this man. No matter what he teaches, he makes the class interesting. Take him as many times as you can!
My favorite professor so far and I doubt that will change. He makes class fun. I have taken 2 of his classes and am registered for a third. He is hilarious and makes you interested in his lectures even if you are not usually interested in the subjects he teaches.
He was inspirational and really fun to learn from!
Coming into community college, you don't expect to have professors like this. Drakulich has the gift of talking to a room of 60 people, but engaging everyone individually. Even if you have 0 interest in the subject matter, you WILL enjoy coming to his class. My favorite professor and teacher to date. Also, he's freaking hysterical.
I've been taught by only one other teacher who has this much of a gift for teaching. I have him for two classes this semester, and I'm getting more out of them than I've gotten out of any other class so far, and its only the first month. His classes aren't easy, and there is a lot of work involved, but I'm always excited to do it.
One of the greatest teachers to grace the halls of passaic county community college with his presence. In a world were college professors are all adjucnt and don't care, professor Drackulich restores your faith in teachers and humanity. Best college teacher I've ever had. Take one of his classes, you won't regret it.
I can truly say he is the best professor I have ever had in my life. He is the funniest professor EVER--He teaches & knows his material so well! Going into his history class I had zero interest, after meeting him, I was SO excited for class everyday. He makes you want to learn & makes lectures so much fun! DEFINITELY TAKE HIS CLASSES. ALL & ANY!!
Professor Drakulich is a gem! His lectures are always engaging, even on subject matter that is difficult, such as philosophy. His expectations are clear and VERY HIGH. He demands the best from his students, and in return he gives his best. This is my 3rd (and last) class with him, I will truly miss his lectures. PCCC is fortunate to have him!
He is my favorite professor by far! He's hilarious but do not piss him off!
I took Professor Drakulich last semester for Philosophy and he is so funny and unpredictable that he really keeps you engaged. I wanted to take him for Western Civ this semester but his class filled up quick and I'm really disappointed I couldn't get into his class. He's a great teacher but don't get caught on your phone and don't be really late.
Great teacher. Starts off classes LOUD and energetic. Doesn't only teach you the subject matter, he wants you to actually THINK. Highly recommend.
taken him for three courses (philosophy, western civ 1&2). best teacher in my life. Cares so much about his students- the most thought provoking most entertaining teacher you will ever have. I honestly look forward to class when he is teaching. Philosophy exams aren't easy & does require a good amount of out of class work but this class is worth it
Such a great professor! I took three of his classes and loved every one! He's all about respect, don't even think about texting
besides him being one of the best professors in the world, hes extremely funny. i wish i could take him with me when i transfer
Hands down the best teacher PCCC has to offer. I sign up for classes early just so i can get a spot in his classes. this is my second class with him and hopefully not the last. His is loud and eccentric but he is great. He practically yells the knowledge into you and it sticks. I still remember things he mentioned in his previous classes a year ago
This Professor is the best thing about PCCC! Even if you have no interest in the subject he keeps you engaged. I looked forward to attending his class every time. I would definitely take as many classes as I can with him before graduating. He definitely does what he loves everyday, it shows. Highly recommend him!
Amazing and Hilarious Professor, he tells you how it is and warns you in the beginning of the semester on how things are going to be. Even though he is serious when it comes to work, he is still knows how to make class fun. As long as you follow the rules and don't disrespect him, he will work with you and care if you need any help.
Hands down the best Professor not only at PCCC, but ever!!!! If you take him for philosophy, he will literally present each lecture in the attitude of the philosopher you're learning about. He is AMAZING! Another great thing about his class is you will ALWAYS be engaged; there's not a dull moment in that class. HIGHLY recommend!
I am so looking forward to take philosophy with him. Best professor I had. He is full of energy making you to enjoy the class. Take his classes you won't regret it!!
I've taken Professor Drakulich for Western Civ, Western Civ 2, and Philosophy. He really makes the information fun to learn. Beware there aren't that many grading opportunities so study when you can. Do not procrastinate the writing assignments it'll only hurt you.
He is literally the funniest professor ever! He makes class so much fun and you can see the amount of time and effort he puts in his lectures. He makes class enjoyable and learning is so much fun if he is the one teaching it! Do study for his tests and do not use your phone!!
Easy A
Professor Drakulich was honestly one of my favorite professors this semester. Hilarious lectures and they were also engaging. My best advice would be to read the chapter that is being covered in class before the lecture so that any questions you might have about the textbook would be answered in class, also in your reading notebook put the vocab in
Story time with Uncle Drak! He made History literally come alive during class. I literally went to school with a 102 fever and severe exhaustion so I wouldn't miss what happened with Cleopatra because he left the previous class on a cliffhanger. This man was born to be a professor. Beware: he is loud and will have you cracking up every day!
You will never meet a professor who puts in as much effort and energy into his lectures as Prof. Drakulich. Every class feels like a conversation you never want to end. Wanting to go to his class every week was a key factor in enjoying school for me, and he made the scarier subjects seem possible to succeed in because of his overall teaching style.
Professor D. definitely gives a lot of material to read, but it is all so interesting!!!! History was NEVER my strong subject, actually it was my worst. But, Professor D is very accessible out of class, and his materials are so interesting i cant wait until he posts the next assignment to continue reading ! Definitely take him, hes worth the work!
Took a 3 week inter session with him. There are 14 quizzes and a final. Final is 5 SAQs and the 14 quizzes are 10 questions each. As long as you read theres no reason why you shouldnt get an A. Questions are straightforward. Lowest quiz grade gets dropped. Quizzes-55% and Final Exam-45% of the grade. Easy class!
Having this professor for Philosophy was great! At first I did not wanted to take this class but towards the end I had enjoyed every class. Professor is an amazing teacher, he is funny. He truly cares about his students and will help you do your best. I definitely would of loved to take more of his classes but I will be graduating this semester.
I took both History and Philosophy classes with Professor Drakulich and I couldn't be happier. He is the funniest professor in Pccc and his lectures are so fun to listen to. I recommend him to anyone who is taking History or Philosophy.
Professor Drakulich is an AMAZING professor!!! I am not a fan of history and I did so good in this class. I took him two semesters in a row. For Western Civ II and Intro to Philosophy. Multiple Choice quizzes every week to see if you read the chapter as well as a discussion post every week. Midterm and Final are essays. Take him!!!
Hands down one of the best instructors Ive had in any subject. He really makes philosophy come alive in his lectures and makes you actually excited to show up to class. Cares deeply about every single one of his students. Very laid-back in terms of both attendance and assignments, only form of homework is quizzes due at the end of each semester.
The kind of teacher I will most likely tell my grandkids about. He is super invested into the material he teaches and it shows. The quizzes are easy to do ahead of time because the notes are on BlackBoard from day 1. You'll laugh and you will learn, what's better?
Professor Drakulich was the best professor I have had. He motivated me for life and academically I learned a lot of philosophy. Even to this day I still remember a LOT of the class because I did not memorize, I learned. He is fair and makes his class fun. Negative side: be ready to stand some screaming and awkwardness.
Let me just say, Professor Drakulich was one of the best teachers I had. His lectures are so interesting to listen to and he makes sure you understand the material given to you.Totally recommend taking this class because he is awesome.
Professor Drakulich was an inspirational, impactful, and brilliant instructor. He covered material very well and let the expectations of his class be known. Though he taught us academically, he also taught us life lessons, some I still think on today. He respected his students and taught us how to respect each other as well.
Great Professor, the lectures were interesting and fun. He made History class so alive and I am grateful to have taken my class with him overall 10/10. I wish him the best in life and I thank him for impacting my life in such a positive way.
easiest class i ever took lets you do everything at home and uploads everything at the start of the semester so you can be done with the class in literally a week so nice
Awesome Professor and person. Very engaging and funny, keeps the lectures interesting. I would recommend Him 100 times out of 100.
Extremely passionate about teaching and honestly cares about his students. Very fun and engaging classes that fly by due to how interesting he presents the material. Open-notes tests! Kind of a rough grader with written assignments but maintains fairness.
Professor Drakulich is amazing! breaks down the material to where you can fully understand the work. His lectures are very engaging
I've taken this man for Philo, Ins. Racism, and Ethics. The reality that this is my last semester with him is very depressing! THIS is the bar that you should use to judge a great teacher. EXTREMELY knowledgable about his field in great depth, and GENUINELY loves teaching and cares about his students. Papers are tough but he doesn't require a style
He is passionate and enthusiastic about what he is teaching. Really loud and funny.He relates his class a lot to real world dilemmas and I was kept entertained. Learned a lot of theories and the meanings. Tests are easy as long as you take notes and review them. Papers are a little challenging the good thing is he does not require MLA or any format
Entertaining, but comes across trying way too hard to be "the cool professor". Very unclear and inconsistent criteria with grading written assignments/essay questions on tests. Multiple choice portions are easy as long as you copy down all of his notes. Respect his genuine passion for teaching.
Drakulich is incredible. His lectures are informative and easy to interpret, but they are also enlightening. I took his Institutional Racism course and left honestly feeling changed. I wish I could get everyone I know to take this class in particular, because it really shines light on things that affect us every single day. Also he's cool as hell.
Professor Drakulich has a passion, for educating the youth in deeper meanings. I graduated PCCC and now in grad school but I can definitely say if there is one life experience it's Draks class. Game changing classroom.
Overall, a very good professor. Passionate, very knowledgeable, down to earth, very fun classes.
Prof. Drakulich is an outstanding instructor who is highly knowledgeable in the field of ethics. He makes the lectures engaging and funny while ensuring we understand each theory. I enjoyed an in-depth look into the ethical world, which gave me a new perspective on life. I'm glad that I took this class with Uncle Drak. :)
Uncle Drakulich is by far the best educator I have ever met. I took both his ethics, and institutional racism classes during my first semester. The things you learn from his classes are not just what the courses offer, it´s genuine life advice that can guide you for years to come. I am motivated to become an educator myself because of this man.
Very engaging lectures,The second time I'm having him as my professor he is really helpful his assignments aren't hard he explains everything but please write down your notes they are extremely valuable to your assignments and exams. He wants to prepare you for "Big kids College" as he states bring a #2 pencil for exams.
Professor Drakulich is an engaging and passionate instructor. While his grading can be inconsistent, his lectures are lively and he makes philosophy fun. Using unstuck study alongside the textbook helped me stay on top of the material.
Exams are open notes so that was a relief but the midterm exam had a lot of questions even with the open notes I and other students weren't able to finish some questions it's understandable because there was a lot of information. The final was less questions and easier to understand. The essay was easy based on your experience and opinion.
Professor Drakulich is a great professor he's very funny, he's also passionate about his classes' success. He's tough but it comes from a good place.
Professor Drakulich expects a solid understanding of the material and genuine engagement with the discussions, but the online layout is relaxed and easy to navigate.
I enjoyed the US history class. Learned a lot from the open educational resource book he chose. I will definitely take the class again. He was very interactive on all the discussions.
By far the best professor i have ever taken in PCCC, he made me fall inlove with ethics and I recommend anyone to take his class if they ever get the chance. He is great and very understanding of personal situations. Only thing is that you must come to class for lectures because he does not use any slides, he does everything the old style. 10/10 pr
