Too many long, hard readings. Grades very hard.

I've never gotten anything below a B+ but this class changed that. Birchok is one of the rudest, contradicting people I have ever taken. He told us that the only way for us to learn is that we can't get A's("You have to earn them"). So I took notes one what he said and when I wrote about them he told me I was wrong and I'd get a C on every paper.

Had for my UNV class. He is mostly a nice guy. Went on trip to Canada/Detroit (Was not worth it). Too much work for a UNV class. Isn't as open as he say he is to opposing opinions. Pointed out an obvious flaw in one of the articles given to class, instead of listening his pride got hurt since he's technically teaching us what's from the article.

Super great prof and super easy to get along with. The in class discussions are great and really help the material. Hated the readings and they just left me more confused. Didn't read at all. Passed the class. You just have to pay attention and participate in the class discussion and you'll be fine

He is a very nice guy. The only thing to watch is there are very few grades and he seems almost impossible to please on the papers.

Despite his reputation as a tough grader, I did exceptionally well in his course. All graded assignments and exams are written papers on concepts, which I found much more refreshing than forced memorization and timed tests. He does a good job of breaking down the material making it easy to understand concepts. Hes awesome and cares about students.
