Reviews of professor Adam Jurkiewicz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Genuinely one of the most interesting professors I've ever had. He made us read, a lot, but it was always relevant to the discussion in class. Could not have enough praise for this man, everyone in our class loved him!

A lot of readings, but lectures are usually spent going over them so you don't have to read them to do well. Nice and pretty funny, I would definitely recommend his class.

Loved this guy. Super nice and clearly cares. Participation matters, so make sure to take part in the discussion. He goes over the readings briefly in class, but its mostly discussion so do try to read. He provides all readings so no buying textbooks! Sometimes tangents, but overall an interesting + fun + easyish class.

One of the best professors I've ever had. He is so understanding and is willing to give extensions on papers. Always has great discussions on the topics we go over. Great explanations. Very straightforward class and he has made me really love philosophy! 4 papers (2 are reflections), midterm, final, participation.

Dr. Jurkiewicz was one of my favorite professors last semester. He is very engaging and extremely understanding, offering extensions and extra credit frequently. You spend about 3 classes discussion readings, write two main papers, and are given the midterm/final questions ahead of time. Workload is very manageable and grading is very generous.

Easy A. Moderate extra credit. Wants everyone to get an A.

I thought this class was pretty easy. As long as you go to class (do the readings that confuse you) and take notes, you will do well. The papers are not hard to get an A as long as you make sense and use what he says in lectures.

Jurkiewicz is great-  dry sense of humor that's maybe an acquired taste but he's really engaging. don't need to do the readings cuz he goes over everything during lecture. Literally only four assignments all semester and he couldn't be more accommodating with flexible deadlines and grades. I learned a lot. impossible not to get and A.

Jurkiewicz is a very nice and caring professor. During COVID he made sure that students had plenty of time to complete papers and exams. Grading is also very fair. Take him!

Intro to Existentialism was SUPER interesting. The readings were tough but you don't need to understand them much (if at all), lectures are often all you need. He really knows his stuff and I really liked him, but he's not the most passionate lecturer. Easy grader and very willing to move deadlines for you. Such an impactful class :)

Good prof overall. Not the best or most interesting, a bit too reserved. Knows his stuff pretty well and stays pretty true to the material being discussed. Tests are graded a bit strange with the emphasis being on short answers and exactly how he wants them answered.
