By far best instructor I have ever had. He's very clear and provides good examples. I love his lectures- he makes it so simple and helps you see what really matters. He's a cool guy, too. He really cares for his students. I wish he taught more classes. Four exams gives you a chance to earn bonus points and 4 or 5 quizzes - easy ones - just to motivate you to review lecture notes before next class.

As a person I think he is a great guy, but as a teacher... There are only 3 tests which are extremely difficult, as a result he had to give massive curves in order for people to pass. The test are full of tricky questions and are worded very different from other tests. He writes tests differently on purpose because he doesn't agree with the system.

The class is 3 test grades, people were failing so he had to curve around 20 points. He is passionate but he made things much more difficult than they should have been.

3 MCQ exams 100% from lectures. Each class opportunity for bonus but must review previously discussed material at home to earn it. He gave us take home bonus which really helped me understand material. Exams seem complex at first but they are really simple if you study. Amazing guy he really teaches you to think. Makes you work but gives good grade

3 exams+ 2 take home extra credit assignments+ lots of in class bonus. Overall I'm happy I took his class. He really wants you to learn. Final turned out to be much easier than first two exams but maybe because I actually began studying. He really pushes you in a good way. I must admit he is the best teacher I had so far at UTA

Hands down the best professor at UTA! Just come to class and absorb the knowledge he shares with you. He will make you think, he will make you question, he will make you better version of who you are. I would take him again and again only if he had time to teach more classes. At first it may hurt your self-esteem, but then you actually win!!!

He's a great professor that actually cares that you learn something in his class instead of memorizing the material. He is understanding and applies his lectures to real world. (Which is great, because half that stuff we learn in Campus aren't applicable). There's 2 test plus the final. Some bonus hwk too. READ! STUDY! and you'll be fine.

Rafal is "not a professor within the realm of academia" as he will state in class at first. Its because he trains you on how to critically think for yourself rather than memorize a bunch of useless stuff. He actually holds a very high corporate position that serves as a testament to his vast experience. id take him again and again. 10/10

He is a great professor. He will challenge you to think critically and know the material. He is willing to work with students to help them learn the material. However, you have to make a concerted effort. If you don't attend class, then you will not pass. If you really want to learn, then you will love this class.

Czajkowski is THE best professor I've ever taken in my life. Lectures are very informative and creative in the way it is delivered. You will have to work in this class. The content and exams are difficult and are lecture heavy but he makes it worth it. As long as you try, you will pass. Many love him, others just don't understand him. TAKE HIM!

Study a lot or you won't pass. There are 3 quizzes, 3 exams. No extra credit. Final is cumulative. He grades based on your improvement throughout the class. You must prove that you truly understand the concepts. He cares about your learning, so much so that it is highly difficult to succeed unless you dedicate a lot of hours towards learning.

Czajkowski is one of the best profs I have taken since school went online. He cares more about our intellectual development than just our letter grades. for my course, he just posted lectures we could access at anytime. 3 exams, 3 quizzes, and a final. I would recommend reading the textbook and watching his lectures if you want to do well.

I do not usually rate professors, but this guy is amazing. At first, like many others have said you will not like this guy. I cried after my first test grade, but in the end I almost made a perfect score on the final exam. Just do what he tells you to do, and COME TO CLASS. He may seem arrogant at first, but I can assure you he is very humble.

He gives extra points for you reading the textbook and answering his questions. But most importantly is to read the textbook and attend his lectures. He wants us to learn not from the student's POV, but how it applies to the real world.

If you participate he will give you extra credit points just for answering questions. Definitely recommend him!!!

Czajkowski is by far the best professor I've had at the College of Business. You must come to lecture, because his tests make sure you understand the material well. He cares and wants you to take an active role in your learning. Don't worry about your grade, he rewards hard work and dedication. Seems rude at first, but he's just direct and honest.

He is difficult to understand at times during his lectures. The Exams are more of Critical Thinking instead of what was covered in the chapters. His class participation to earn points are considered by answering his questions during lecture. Asking questions about lecture are not considered participation in class. Overall, I wouldn't recommend him

Come to class and record lectures or else you will not do well on the exams. He gives bonus points for participation which will bring your letter grade up immensely.

He's a born teacher able to explain very difficult topics in a very simple way. Other professors should take his class to learn teaching profession. I wish he taught more courses. I ended up with B by my own fault. He gave us plenty opportunity for extra credit. He makes you earn your grade but in a good caring way. Really good guy afterall.

He is alright. His exams are VERY lecture-based, so you have to understand EVERYTHING he talks about in order to do well. He does teach interesting information from finance and accounting on top of economics, but he also makes sexist comments, mentions his wealth countless times, and talks about his right-wing beliefs at least 3 times a lecture.

Professor Czajkowski is an excellent instructor who makes even the most difficult concepts understandable. Attend lectures, participate actively, and use unstuckstudy alongside the free textbook - that's the recipe for success in this class.

BEWARE, GOOD RATINGS DON'T MEAN EASY CLASS! This class was not what I expected, but overall I am satisfied with the course. Professor Czajkowski wants you to think for yourself so you can succeed later. SPEAK UP in class for bonus points and attend lectures to pass. Give the same effort to studying as he does teaching.

EXTREMELY HARD COURSE. He is very knowledgeable in ECON and you will learn a lot, but if you're just looking to pass the class pls don't take him. He goes off topic often about things not related to the class. Exams are really difficult. If you're not taking many other classes give him a chance, otherwise take literally anyone else.
