Reviews of professor Joel Izlar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
LOVE DR. IZLAR! He is one of the only professors who truly practices the social and economic justice that the school of social work preaches. He gets grades in quickly, gives amazingly detailed and positive feedback and is so nice. I would take him again if I could.

Joel is truly a gem of a professor! He has been my favorite professor in the MSW program at UGA. He is extremely knowledgeable and you can really tell that he genuinely cares about his students. He was so encouraging and passionate about teaching us things that he is passionate about. I would 100% take a course by him again! Such a sweet guy.

Joel is my favorite teacher I have ever taken at UGA. Should he be an option for you to take, do it. He is passionate about the content he teaches, challenges all students to think critically, and really truly cares about every student in his classroom. You will walk away changed on a spiritual level if you open up to him and participate in class.

Joel is an incredible kind and earnestly passionate person. This course has lots of reading about difficult topics, but the readings are incredible and worth reading. Most of the class is in class discussions and if you aren't prepared it will be awk. There are several papers but he isn't a hard grader. Put in effort and you'll do great. :)

He is an awesome guy! He gives great feedback on all assignments and genuinely cares about your well-being. He wants you to learn and ask questions. He is vulnerable and open thus creating an environment that is open and vulnerable. I would absolutely take him again!
