I am writing this review for those who have chosen to take Professor Kozikowski's class for next year. Professor Koz is a pretty good professor but to do well you have to adapt your writing style. However, the reason I took this class was to redo papers. As of spring semester 2016 he no longer lets you redo papers and doesn't give out +1s anymore.
