Took Human Geography with him. There was a lot of work, but it was one of the most interesting classes I've taken. His presentation is great; I've got narcolepsy and he kept me awake.

definately one of the hardest classes i have ever taken but he is so passionate and knowledgeable about the material that he can keep geography interesting. i would definately reccomend him to anyone, you just have to be prepared to work hard.

Insanely hard class, insanely nice, intelligant guy with a cool accent. There is a ton of work but the class is super interesting

Everyone says this is a hard class, it is not. All the stuff he assigns is like 1 or 2 page readings and you only do 1 chapter a week in the text book. He is awesome and really funny. If you are a good test taker then take this because like 3/4 of the grade is 2 tests and a few quizes.

Hard but so much fun! Really funny guy, extremely intelligent. Lazy students won't like this class; smart ones will thrive! This is the kind of teacher you expect at a hard school.

All the stories you hear about Kujawa being really hard, well they're mostly true. Either way, if you are a good student and are willing to do the work you'll get more out of his classes than any other professor here.

Hardest teacher I have had at St. Mikes. While I was taking the class I hated him but when it was over I realized I learned a lot. He is a walking encyclopedia.

Hard, learned lots, great guy to boot...what else is there to say?

Dr.K is the best professor I've had so far in my college career.

Hardest teacher i've had so far. He knows a lot, and you learn a lot in the class, but the quizzes and tests are rediculous, you have to memorize every little detail to get good grades on them... He's a funny guy, but the class is so hard

He's really demanding. He gives wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much work. It's as if he thinks that we are not taking other classes.

He is an outstanding professor. He loves his subject and he makes it interesting by providing up to date real world events that correlate to what you're learning. The class is difficult but if you put in the right amount of work you will do well. There are many readings assigned and I advise close attention to detail in those and in lectures.

Not as hard as everyone says. If you simply do the assigned reading, read the chapters, and listen carefully in class with good notes then you should be all set for the quizzes and tests. Also Pay good attention to the e-college site. Great teacher, very enthusiastic and smart. Dont listen to what everyone says. You learn a lot from the class.

Kujawa is the man!!! He is my favorite prof. At first i was not liking all the class but i sucked it up and really enjoyed the class and prof. Kujawa. He is very helpful and is a very nice person in and outside of class.

Extremely helpful, really fun, very smart. You will work hard in his classes but you will learn a lot. Even if you thought you weren't interested in geography, his classes will wake you up and make you think in new ways.

It's been a while. He was intense, fun, and helpful. Stingy with grades but very fair and open about the process. To do well you must do the reading.

challenging, fun and engaging. Helpful on assignments -- just ask! Slackers need not apply. Fair warning.

Solid. I learned a lot but had to work hard in the class.

Organized on ECollege. Tough exams but you get to bring in a cheat sheet on the final. You'll learn a lot in this class but you've got to work.

Awesome.

Fun class. Gets you thinking. I wrkd hrd in the class.

Kujawa presses you hard. Lots of outside of class work -- reading, listening, viewing. Class itself is a blast. Hard grader but helpful. What college should be all about.

Kujawa is demanding - you really have to put a lot of effort into this class but it is entirely worth it! It's a very interesting class. He is very willing to help if you only ask. I was excited to got to class every day.

Knows his students. Keeps class moving and uses current news stories to engage us. Challenging -- no doubt.

Enthusiastic about geography. Did a lot for me in how I learn/write/think. Generous with time. Funny but serious.

High expectations. Somewhat strict. Time management of class a problem sometimes. He knows it though.

Good guy but has his own view of education and it involves WORK. He's testy about sloppy writing and worse if you don't cite your sources properly. Don't expect a high grade without really grinding this one out from day 1. As others have said he's fun but his view of education is not for everyone. Topics are mostly interesting. He's a techno.

Awesome. I still think about things from that class. At the time it was hard but looking back.... worth it.

Interesting. Lots of outside work. Ask him questions! Visit his office! No soft touch on grades.

Although there was a lot of work involved, the professor was very helpful!

Not for babies. Study the reviews and see him for help. Do the Optionals to boost your grade. I did. It worked.

Kujawa is hard and there is a lot of work you have to put into the class. It certainly isn't for everyone. But, I have had few professors who were are friendly as he was outside of the classroom. Good guy, hard class.

Tell's it like it is. Helpful but expects you to take responsibility. Tough grader.

A bit intense for me. Good support outside of class. Keeps things moving in class.

Not sure why these guys are so mad. It was pretty straightforward for me. He was quite helpful out of class. It is a challenging class but not impossible. Workload is consistent -- no 100 page readings when I took it? Interesting topics as well.

Goes out of his way to help his students. Forces you to take responsibility -- that's good, right? Helps his students even after graduation. He's fair but def NOT easy. You figure it out.

Expectations for work/effort are the highest I experienced. You learn a lot but it's so challenging. Pay close attention to eCollege and just don't get behind.

Check in with him before you take the class. He lays it out -- take a look at the book, the assignments, check out his ECollege site. I did and he did what he said he would. Clear on expectations and helpul for you to meet them.

Brilliant man!!One of the best teachers in the history of higher education. He'll teach you more useful information than every other class combined (especially stuff useful for the real world). His knowledge exceeds that of any professor at St Mike's. His work load weeds out the meek, ignorant, lazy, prideful, foolish,(business majors j/k lol

Hard class. One tip: read his week in review sheets.

I wasn't sure at first but I've grown to really like the class. Energetic in class and the material from class has helped me with other classes. Hard grader but willing to review quizzes, exams and papers with you. He won an award this year.

Kujawa is a bit odd but clearly loves to teach. Workload isn't too bad if you do it as it is assigned. Exams are tough -- you have to REALLY prep. Interesting topics and links to news stories. Solid class. Nice guy.

If you don't want to work DON'T TAKE THE CLASS. He's pretty fun inside of class but quizzes and exams are hard. Interesting topics and tons of connections with the real world.

Just work hard. Take it seriously and adjust to his teaching style (which involves work, engagement with work, and work). You will def. learn a lot. Don't whine.

More than ten years out I still think about lessons from Geo classes at SMC. Worth the work. Still in touch.

Kujawa is a tough teacher, but he will push you to do better work than you thought you could. He is fair and listens if you have a legitimate complaint or concern. He was one of my most influential teachers.

I took both his Human Geography and Urban Geography classes in 2003 and 2004. I am now a third year (honors) law student, and I can confidently say that his classes are harder than law school. It's his assessment methods. 100 pages should not be given for one weekend followed by a 9 point quiz with one word answers. But he is interesting.

Challenging in lots of ways. Professional and supportive. Funny at times.

Expects a lot but is generous with help.

Really liked the class. Learned a ton. Prof is very smart and loves his subject but expects students to do their work (duh). If you are smart and up for a challenge, you will be so glad you took his class.

Tough class but learned tons of stuff. Kujawa is helpful. Read the review notes each week.

GREAT class! Dr. Kujawa is so smart and thorough.

The only things you need to do to succeed in his class: pay attention, attend class, and do ALL (or at least the majority) of the work he assigns. If you are not willing to do all three of these things, than do not put yourself in any classes that he teaches because if you do you will be lucky to get a C

I'm not going to lie, it's a very tough class. Make sure you study for his map quizzes and do all the readings. He's a really good guy though and willing to help anyone who needs it. I recommend going to his office hours (if he sees you often, it'll help your grade) as well as completing optionals. The biggest thing is going to him for help.

I have had two classes with Kujawa and plan to take more. He is an extremely hard professor, he expects you to do the homework and to be in class. If you work hard in his classes then you will learn a lot. Deep down he really cares about his students and wants them to learn. Don't avoid Kujawa just be prepared to work hard and learn a lot!!

Best prof at smc. Don't bother if you don't want to learn.
