Reviews of professor Gerasimos Karavitis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Gerasimos is a really funny guy. He assigns many readings but summarizes and goes over them in class, so it's not necessary for you to read them. For midterms and finals, there is an essay and test for each, but he is very clear on grading criteria. As long as you put effort into them, you'll be fine.

He's a really nice guy but his classes were extremely boring and the work he gave did not really seem to match the course subject. It was more reading novels than learning about history. He gave hard essay topics but seemed to grade them pretty lenient. I only had him for one sem, I wouldn't have him as a teacher again but I'm not upset that I did

TAKE HIM!!! Karavitis is a very nice professor. He is open to all kinds of ideas in class and welcome everyone to speak. There are texts assigned each class. Too vague for me but he explained them pretty well. Three papers in all, very generous grader. I love him!

The best Professor I ever had at NYU and I took him for two semesters! His lectures were amazing that you will always be eager to engage in discussions. He had a clear rubric for his essays. Make sure to read before his class to prepare. Definitely take him if you expect to learn and get an A!

Take him! Very nice professor with great lectures and a clear syllabus. Glad to discuss philosophy with students after class and gives great book recommendations.

Really great professor, super knowledgable and caring! A lot of readings but you don't have to do them; just pay attention during lectures.

Professor Karavitis was wonderful! All of his lectures were extremely engaging - he does document participation, so make sure to speak up. I enjoyed the readings as well. Class organization and grading was extremely clear - if you follow the rubric, you will receive a good essay grade. Highly recommend taking his class if interested in philosophy.

As someone who despises philosophy, Gerasimos made this class enjoyable. He is super kind and understanding and creates an environment where you feel welcome to speak up, ask questions, and make comments. Participation is counted together with attendance, so as long as you show up to every class and make a comment every now and then, you'll be fine
