Reviews of professor Nicholas Ciavarra

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ciavarra was overall an okay professor, but after comparing others' experiences in the course I realized that he was a lot tougher of a grader than others. He does give helpful writing advice during class, but feedback given after turning in a paper is not very helpful. I would recommend a different professor who is more rational in grading.

Ciavarra was my favorite teacher I had in my first semester at UGA. He graded fairly and had an awesome personality. He gave really good feedback on papers which helped me improve as the class continued. The essay topics were really interesting, but one does require reading a book. There are only three essays and a project at the end.

Cant say too much about how his recorded lectures were since I didnt watch a lot of them, but hes extremely funny. The three main essays had three different prompts to choose from, which was nice. Personally found the content he chose pretty interesting; it wasnt strictly reading passages, there were also video essays you could watch.
