Reviews of professor Tim Nikiforuk

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
His lectures can get really boring, considering they are done with the lights out in an auditorium, there is no participation going on and he has a very monotone voice. The class is easy to pass, but getting through the lectures was the biggest challenge

Professor Nikiforuk is really cool and nice. A major part of your grade is a four page paper that he tells you at the very beginning of the semester to work on. He gives you feedback and is happy to help you with it. There are two exams, a few discussion posts, and weekly quizzes, along with extra credit quizzes.

Very monotone & serious professor. He doesnt take any questions during lecture so dont bother trying to ask anything until after class. Notes are online but you NEED to study because the tests/quizzes are pretty hard (No scantron: mix of multiple choice, fill in the blank & matching). Good luck on your final exam AND your final term paper.

I had a D the entire course and somehow the final paper and exam really brought me up, regardless of getting perfect scores on all the quizzes, I failed the midterm! The extra credit helps, so pay attention in lectures, participate, and raise your hand.

He is pretty cool. The class is pretty straight forward. Just listen and take notes as well as review the slides he provides which are from the lectures. I wish he would maybe do like some groups cause the class in mainly him talking. There isn't really any participation. He likes to listen to students but gets carried away with teaching.

Very nice professor with clear powerpoint presentations. Be sure to take notes, even on the small things, everything you take will help. Be sure to work on the final because it can really boost your grade.

Pretty tough class but super cool dude. Make sure to take good notes and focus on what he emphasizes. He gives bonus questions which help a ton.

Interesting class, but hard to sit through in the early mornings We didn't use the textbook Tests are easy Take decent notes during lectures and focus on what he emphasizes on Follow his study guides and review the powerpoint slides before the exams and you'll be fine. Get the essay assignment out of the way asap (50% of grade) Cool dude, take him!

I didn't know Darren Aronofsky taught Art history classes at SW. But anyway, great professor who makes the class very clear. Do your work though. There are 3 quizzes plus the final and a term paper which is sort of challenging because its not your typical essay paper but rather more of a visual essay.
