Reviews of professor Andrew Vitek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Vitek is super chill. Hes not a tough grader and lets you know exactly what he wants from you. 2 take home essay exams; pop quizzes usually 1 every few days to keep you on your toes. Read to do well on quizzes. His lectures are more so group discussions. He is passionate and helpful! Definitely recommend his course; one of the best PS professors.

If I could take another class with Professor Vitek I would. Super nice and chill. He's really knowledgable really cares about his students. He is always offering help to understand the material. One short paper, a presentation, and midterm paper. Other than that graded on pop-quizzes (easy if you do the readings), attendance and participation.

I loved Andy, I went into this class inexperienced, uneducated, and very overwhelmed but with the help of Prof Vitek I not only understood the material but also thrived in this class. He's really easy to talk to and is willing to hold extra office hours or private sessions to help you understand the material he teaches. Really loves what he does.

Prof. Vitek is a great choice for PLSC 3. The class had an average workload and him and the TAs were fair graders. There are three papers and a weekly discussion post but thats it for assignments. I really enjoyed his class and would take it again!

Great sense of humor, extremely passionate about what he is teaching. One thing I didn't like was that the lectures are not based on the textbooks, but the quizzes are directly from the textbook. Still, fairly easy. Be aware that you do have to write a 5-6 page paper for your midterm. That threw me off. Otherwise, pretty straightforward.

Although I can only select three things about Dr. Vitek, all I can clearly say for having him for 6 weeks during summer is I learned so much. His classes are always intriguing and makes you think on a different level. The class is lots of reading & he does give quizzes but if you do the reading youll be fine! A phenomenal professor.10/10 recommend

as a poly sci major, this to date has been the easiest plsc class ive ever taken. Everything is online, there is a once a week take-home quiz that's 20 questions, but they're very easy, take home midterm and final, and 1 paper. I went to class maybe 3 times total and finished with an A. I also never once used the textbook

Professor Vitek was one of my favorite professors and a really good teacher. He gives out a lot of article readings every class period so you have to be sure to keep up with them. He can get a little intense sometimes but he is very funny and knowledgeable about the subject matter. One of my favorite professors on campus.
