Reviews of professor Timothy Novak

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not an easy class in which you will just get an A. Multiple exams, that are not MCQ and you have to write. But he gives you the notes and the slides to help answer the questions for the exam. There are essays and other assignments. If you work well and follow instructions you will be fine. Responds quickly. If caring and helpful. You will learn!

Professor Novak knows that a lot of people taking his classes are doing it out of necessity for their degree, and tries to be as easy of a class as he can be for students.

Turn in your assignments and it's an easy A. If you have difficulty with his quizzes, just start guessing random things and he might give you partial credit for your answers.

Novak is a great instructor and you can tell he is passionate about it. Take really good notes for this class. The notes are literally the exam. I would not skip class because if you miss it, you technically missed majority of your notes. Hence, you missing part of the exam. Really simple and the art museum visits are easy extra credit points.

I took his 1301 class and retook him for 1304 due to how easy his class was and needed another credit. Other students had difficulties with his tests, so I told them to just rephrase the questions into a sentence for your answer and add some art terms, which is what I did, and their test grades improved. Don't leave any question blank and do this.

Took 5 week summer class with two group projects, not too many quizzes and tests and easy essays. Very easy A as long as you actually listen to lectures, read the materials he provides and make an effort. Also provides opportunities for extra credit that you MUST log in daily to catch - available for limited time only. Passionate about his field.

He is a great professor that gives clear lectures. I had in person and I recommended that everyone gets a notebook for that class. His group projects are super easy and public speaking is not an issue since he helps you through it.

Professor Novak's class was very interesting and easy, and he worked hard to always keep us up to date on our assignments. Offered open textbook tests and a few extra credit opportunities. His lectures are long but very helpful!

Be prepared to watch his videos. The videos are long (abt 1 to 1.5 hours for each.) Tests are free response created by himself!!! No multiple choice at all. Even if it's opened note, you wouldn't have enough time to look for your notes. Skip him and make your life easier.

Hes a very good instructor. Quizzes and tests are not easy but if you read the textbook youll pass. He drops the lowest quiz grade. There are some book reports, essays and class discussions.
