must work to do well. he helps the whole way and keeps his teachings interesting. one of my ultimatly favorite teachers.
The best teacher I have ever had. If you ask a question he answers your question with such clarity, and explains his answer so well that he not only answers your question, but gives you a history lesson in the process. I suggest you take his course even if you aren't interested in german.

the best teacher i had ever had since i started school he helps and actually cares about us and makes do want
This funny and brilliant professor genuinely enjoys teaching! During the first classes, I was really insecure, but he kept encouraging me. It doesn't take a genius to excel in a class when the teacher WANTS you to succeed. He doesn't seem to like cats, though. I wonder what's up with that...
This is the class for you if you want language, culture and linguistics rolled into one. His starting point is that English came from a Germanic language. Rather than traditional tests, everything is menu driven. We chose which assignments to complete. It makes me want to do more and learn more.
Prof. Konopacki is awesome. He made the class amazing! I am now a grammer nut, and have switched my major from Psychology to Foreign Language Combination because of this guy. Great, great teacher. I can't say enough.
Dude, I strongly recommend this class for anyone wanting to learn German or just have a fun teacher. He is very intellectual, teaches with such accuracy, and has an awesome menu driven course. No other teacher compares! Wir leben dich Steve-O!
I'm personally biased towards professor Konoapacki because I had him in High School for German. He is probably one of the best German Professors in the U.S., If no the world. You'll enjoy his class. Highly recommended to all who are interested in learning a 2nd or third language.

I really can't say enough positive things about this wonderful teacher! His teaching style is wonderful. His personality is great. If you can make grammar interesting, you must be doing something right! :)
Konopacki is just kewl as HELL!!!! Lit can be pretty boring but he made it fun and I learn a lot of new vocab. 3 to 4 Exams and a few papers not to bad overall though. Just attend class and you will have no problem passing. Will help you if needed.
Dr. Konopacki is the best prof I have ever had. He knows his stuff and brings us into his thoughts about the subject. If you want literature, look around you at life he says. He IS right. What we're reading is fantastic. Readling load is ok, writing reaction papers is a bit tricky. Ask him about anything and he will help. Great guy.
I thought he is nice professor sisnce I entered his class, but he turn to be very mean, he is a cold blooded creature , very mean person. what ever he thinks his right, and what ever we think is absolutely, especially when you try to explain your situation. PLEASE DON"T TAKE HIS CLASS.
The best professor I ever had. This man really knows the material, and he's so laid back. By far one of the best professors at PBCC. I highly recommend him.
Dr. K class was informative. The Human Condition really correlated with the literature that we read. I came away with new vocabulary. I am going to miss his class b/c I actually left with something to value from literature. As long as you do your Re-po papers and read the text you should do just find and his class. A great professor and a great per
Dr. Konopacki was a great teacher. He is very enthusiastic about his subject and makes learning fun. When I first took this class I thought I would struggle, but he makes it easy. Just do your work, read the stories, and try not to miss any days. If you do that you will be fine.
awesome teacher!! makes crystal clear his expectations, and offers extra credit to help your grade. very positive, and funny! definetly take him!!
Dr.K is one of the best,if not the best, professors I have ever had.I never knew American literature could be so interesting but thanks to him this became one of my favorite classes.He's extremely helpful, super nice and super smart.Gives lots of extra credit and easy assignments. I recommend him 100%!!!
It is because of professors like Konopacki that I am going into teaching. He is extremely into his job and makes the students want to read and they enjoy the discussions and readings...I've never seen anything like it. He is awesome and I highly reccommend him. I took him for American Literature after 1865.
Out of all the professor's at PBCC, he has been the most helpful, intersting, outgoing and respectful teacher i've taken. The class is straightforward. You read the stories, do your assignments and you pass. Simple as that. Dr. K is a great professor, i would recommend him to anyone! :) Enjoy!!!
Dr. K is the best! He makes class fun and interesting. Taking his class is a great experience and you actually learn a lot from it. I wish all teachers were this great!
This teacher loves his job and his students. He really seems to care about people and there feelings. He will help you as much as he can. He teaches very clearly and thoroughly. I learned alot in his class because he really wants his students to succeed in life. If your smart, you will take his class he is worth every penny you have to pay for
Great Teacher!!
He is a great professor, and a biker boy at heart.
he is one of the best teachers i have ever had. hes fun, funny, and very helpful. AND his teaching methods are amazing. you learn alot and are never bored.
He is my favorite teacher!! He has a unusally way of teaching that just makes learning so much easier! I definetely recommend him to anyone! Must be the best teacher in the school!
Definitely my favorite teacher of all times. He's fun, creates an awesome learning atmosphere in class and can relate to students. I've also taken him in another 2 classes and plan on chasing him down for yet one more. Definitely the teacher to choose.
Great teacher - and my personal favorite. Class conversations never got boring. He has an amazing learning style and the way he explains things leaves few to no questions to be asked.
Awesome teacher with an amazing teaching technique. He made the class too fun to want to miss. If only more teachers were like him :)
Very good teacher. Extremely smart. Fairly easy class. Easy to enjoy.
Great professor! very smart! he keeps things interesting! the topics were easy to write about! he makes writing fun!
Konopacki is an amazingly knowledgable teacher who has a great love for the subjects he teaches. He is very fair and even if you don't care for the subject makes it interesting. It's not hard work, but you certainly are learning.
I don't even know where to start.He is simply the best both as a person and as a teacher.Go to class, read the stories, write the PePos and do not plagiarize.he'll see it! Multumesc Dr K. ! I hope i will take another class of his!
Dr. K is awesome guy. He is friendly and always willing to help if you have questions. He is VERY strict about attendance. You will have homework almost every class, but it is not difficult and gets easier as it progresses. That may sound bad now, but trust me, this is one of the best professors I've had. I wish all professors were this good.
Great professor! Wish I had the oppurtunity to have other classes with him. Extremely helpful and cleary informs you on what he is looking for in his essays. Recommend him!
a good teach.
DR.K IS A WONDERFUL TEACHER!!! * ATTEND CLASS AND DO YOUR WORK *
Amazing teacher. Very knowledgeable about a lot of different things. A great guy who will do anything to help his students. If you fail his class it's your own fault, especially if the class is AML 2020. I might be biased because he nominated me for an award, but still, one of the best teachers I ever had.
Dr. K. takes his students and turns them into writers! He provides the tools for writing more effectively and dynamically, and explains very clearly how to use them. If you take his course, be prepared to work hard. You will find great pride in the result of your efforts. Immer, Dr. K. macht mich lächeln.
Dr Konopacki is a great professor. He takes alot of time explaining what to write about. He has a great sense of humor and makes class interesting. Stronly recommended!
He is the best english teacher I've ever had. Before taking his class I hated english and writing essays but now I feel confidant about writing. He explains all the essays very clearly and you know exactly what your supposed to do when it comes time to write them. His class does get a little repetative but thats because he wants to make sure you un
I highly recommend Dr. K for any class! He teaches new tools that will turn any person into an excellent writer. Whether or not you like English, you will like this guy. Every class is fun! If you show up for class and do the writing assignments, you will get an A. If you want to write well for future classes or just a good grade, take this class!!
I LOVE THIS GUY!, HE IS AWESOME.. HE MAKES EVERY WRITING ASSIGNMENT EASY AS PIE, AND FUN AS WELL.. I WISH HE TAUGHT ENC1102 TAKE HIM YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM TOO =)
A great teacher all around. Taught German better than I could have hoped, very clear and very approachable. Had a friend taking his ENC1101 who put it well when I asked him how his other classes were, "Well, you know, I don't like English class, but it's Dr. K so it's still great."
Dr. Konopacki was one of the greatest teachers I have had in my entire academic career. He was helpful, caring and extremely intellectual with his craft. He taught me how to become a better writer, and to improve on skills that I was not too good at, as well as appreciating the work that I did do well. Got all A's on all of the essay assignments.
Dr. K was one of the best teacher I have ever had. The only reason it shows a sad face is because his level of greatness is so great that it revolves around the entire spectrum of happiness landing all the way to sadness,hes just that gr8 He even let me sometimes wear my aviators during class without giving a hoot. Laidback teacher with clarity.A++
he was very laid back,helpful, and always made the class funn. the things i learned in his class help me in everyday tasks.
Awesome teacher,very helpful, wonderful at his craft, and absolutely loves his students. He provides you the tools to pass the course with flying colors. I highly recommend this course to anyone who hates or dreads ENC 1101. He will most definitely change your opinion, and mold you into a better writer.
DR. K is ÜBER Awesome!!!! :D
Dr. K. is a caring, kind, and devoted professor. He also has exceptional talents beyond his demonstrated excellence in teaching.
Dr. K is the best teacher. Obviously. Highly skilled in language and writing, an able communicator, a willing teacher, sharp humored, and quick witted. Take German. It's way easier than Spanish, I promise. Buy the book online, since you won't need it too often.
He was a really fun teacher and knew how to make German more than just memorization and conjugation, like other language teachers usually do.
Best professor ever. I learned more in one semester of his class than in three years of German in high school. If you ever want to learn German take Dr. K's class.
HE REALLY PUSHED ME. I LOVED HIS RULE OF E-PRIME. HANDS DOWN KONOPACKI IS THEE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
I really liked his class. He makes the subject interesting. All the E-prime thing was killing me at first, than I got the hang of it. I recommand you take his class. He's awesome!!
THEE BEST! I am an E-primer for life thanks to this guy! Grab his class before the seats fill up. The rules are so simple you barely need to go back for questions. He honestly makes you feel like a real writer ^_^
This professor was amazing! If you have the chance to take him you should take that chance. I'm very sad I couldn't take more classes with him.
LOVE HIM!!! BEST TEACHER EVER!!! TOO BAD UI HAD TO TAKE ENC 1102 WITH ANOTHER TEACHER BUT HE ROCKS!!!!
Professor Konopacki is probably the best teacher I've taken yet at PBCC. If you want to learn how to right well and effectively you should take him! He teaches very useful techniques and gives you a chance to correct any answers on your papers if you submit a rough draft. Never a dry moment. No book usage. I got an A+
Nice guy class was ok but if you dont get it the first week run!!!!! go home prepare and come back again
Dr. Konopacki has a way of breaking down hard concepts. He also teaches things insteps & cont. to offer all the help he can until you understand the material. He continously makes himself available after class,via email or office.which happen to be the most effective in helping me to learn. He always provides motivation to learn & doing your best.
The GREATEST teacher EVER!!!!!! He's the nicest and most intesting teacher he makes you learn but does it in a calm and entertaining way. I'd recommend thus class to everybody. I don't know anybody that took him and didn't love the class. Great professor!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!
Dr. Konopacki enjoys teaching and it shows. He helps you along the way with all of the papers. I did not write well before his class and I got an A. He is organized and always available for students.
I took him for the combo class everyday he let's us out early all of the time. He helps along the way with all of the papers. He is very organized and easy to talk to. He wants all of his students to get an A. I highly recommend him!!!!!
Dr. K's writer's tools and techniques allow any writer to step up their game. Do not get lazy and behave like a slacker, and never think of copying ideas from the net. The man is brilliant and will know. His classes are so packed with info, I am glad to get out a few minutes early now and then. I wish all my profs were like him. E-Prime works!
Took this teacher for 1101, I was already a decent writer, but his methods improved me greatly! He teaches and enjoys it. He wants you to pass and gives you plenty of chances. There is no reason why anybody should have anything less than a A in this class.
I was a little intimidated before taking this course. Dr. K is an amazing professor his class is very helpful. I highly recommend his class. He sets the class up for you to get an A. He likes all of his students.
Excellent dedicated consumate professional
He's an amazing professor, but only take him if you want to describe courtyards and vending machines...But he's great!
KONOPACKI WAS THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER IVE EVER HAD!! HE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP AND TALK TO YOU.. HE TAUGHT VERY WELL AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.. I GOT AN A IN THE CLASS, ALONG WITH ABOUT 95% OF THE CLASS. HE'S AMAZING! I'D DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM!
Dr.K is an excellent professor. I took his combo class and there is a lot of writing involved - lots of essays but techniques are easy to understand and my writing improved immensely, thanks to Dr.K. Highly recommend to take him.
He was definately the best teacher I've had in so many years. He is very clear, his assignments are quite easy because he explains things clearly before giving you a writing assignment. Even if you are clueless as to how to write a certain type of essay prior to him teaching you how. Take his class. It is well worth your time.
A fantastic teacher. Knows each student individually and he makes it really easy for you to get an A.
He is really great!
Seriously he is one of the best teacher ever! So nice, polite, helpful. I learned a lot from him.
AWESOME Professor!!! such an easy & fun class. one of my favorite professors, has taught me things i will probably use for life.
Dr. K. is one of the BEST teachers at PBSC. His teaching methods are very clear. I highly recommend his class. If you're not a writer, you will eventually become one by the end of the semester.
Dr.K is an amazing professor. He is one of the best english teachers I have ever have. He is very helpful and will answer all of your questions. IF you enjoy writing, I would highly recommend him. The writing are super easy & clearly helpful. What R U waiting for? TAKE HIM!!
Best teaching. He makes you want to go to class.
Dr. K's one of the best prof's(instructor) at the school and one of the best i have ever had, work-wise,military or previous education. He WILL elevate your writing skills.Put the time and effort in and it will pay off greatly. His exercise concerning a paper based on a "vending machine" is boring yes, yet the point is to develop the basics first!
I highly recommend anyone to take ENC 1101/1102 with Dr. K. He acts and teaches very professional. If students learn and follow the basics that he teaches, anyone could pass the class with A. Do not take the risk signing up with another professor. Sign up the class with Dr. K; Not risk and 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Dr. K is definitely the best professor that i've had at pbsc. not only is he a great teacher, but he's also a wonderful person as well. He makes the class so easy, and i would recommend him to ANYONE!! he tells you exactly what he wants, and overall, i love going to class! Nothing but great ratings for this guy!!
Dr. K is the best professor I have had at PBSC. He is also a great man. He is more than fair, just do your work. I ended up loving this class cause I have learned so much. He is great and the combo is not overwhelming. Terrific!
Love, love, love this prof. Had him for spanish in HS and took him for German in college. He makes you want to learn. Very personable and willing to work with you on any issues. Plus, he isn't bad to look at ;)
I took ENC 1101 and ENC 1102 with Dr. K. The teaching methods of Dr. K. exceeds by far that of other professors. Yes, he challenges the intellect of his students, and no he does not favor procrastination, laziness nor tardiness, but at the end of a semester, one will have fairly learned more than enough to face the academic and professional world.
Teaches very professionally, explains stuff really well. His assignments are not hard but not easy. He's very helpful and tells you what to write exactly. Try your best not to miss any class cause he teaches something new each class.
He is an amazing professor honestly the best guy to learn from. You will learn and have fun at the same time. Very understanding and funny. Pick him you won't regret it
I have never been more eager to learn than I am now. Hands down the best professor i've ever had. NO TEXTBOOK. not too much work. just an all around great class, and great man. LOVED THIS CLASS!! :)
DR.Konopacki is Amazing!!!! Great Professor. I definetly RECOMMEND his class to anyone that really wants to learn the ENC basics/Grammar!it truely does not matter what level of writing you happen to be in, he will teach you the tools you need to become a GREAT Writer! AWSOME CLASS!!! I Guarantee that you will not go wrong by picking DR. K !!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Im taking him now. Ive had him for both ENC1101 and 1102. He can turn anyone into a skilled writer. You wont regret taking him. Just DO NOT plagarize. You will be failed. Hes very smart and will find out. But other than that. AMAZING TEACHER! My favorite class!
Best teacher ever! You will learn so much from him!
Great, the best !!!
Best teacher ever! very clear helps you out when you need one on one attention gives you very clear comments on your written papers and is very understanding. He is also funny and keeps you awake during class also gives you a lot of helpful sources for future classes. DO NOT BUY THE TEXT BOOK!!! he does not use the txt book at all he A++ for Dr. K
Dr.Kono, is basically AMAZING. When I say his class is easy I don't mean it's an easy A with no effort, but he makes writing become second nature to you that every assignment he give you seems like cake. He is a great way to kill 2 birds with one stone due to his combo class and provides multiple resources that you will use in future courses.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Dr. K by far has given me the best experience in a college writing class. I took his combo class and I was excited everyday to go and write. I never was good at writing until I took his class. I'm so thankful that I took him as a professor becuz he showed me how to truly write well. I love him so much TAKE HIM!!!!
Dr.K is the best English professor on earth. I believe the teaching style he uses, should be considered by the college board. The way this amazing professor helps student to open up the writer within the student mind is incredible. He now retired. I'm blessed because I had him as my professor.
The.Best.Techer.Ever!! If only every teacher taught like him... He is so amazing, I wish I could take him every semester!! He is a great guy.. and I am a great writer because of him!! Take this class, you wont regret it!!
Just took his class, best professor ever. Didn't care that i wore sunglasses during class, that itself speaks volumes.
He is amazing. I wish I would have saved my notes from his class. He will help those who want to help themselves. If you don't put the work in, you will fail. If you don't show up, you will fail. By the end of his class you will be able to write an A plus paper in your sleep without an issue.
