Reviews of professor David Kovacs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Kovacs is truly one of the best professors I have had at LMU. His In Search of a Way class was honestly so fun and I learned so much. He was so kind to all his students and was a professor who I would not mind taking again. I would highly anyone to take a class taught by him.

Fantastic, energetic, and fun teacher. The class starts lecture-based, then becomes more discussion-based as time goes on. He is very flexible; he doesn't expect you to excel in every topic. Instead, he wants you to find a few subjects you're interested in, and he lets you explore and write about those.

One of the most disorganized classes I have ever taken. Your grade is based off of 4 midterms, a quiz, and a final. He has a very short fuse and gets offended when students question his ideas although he asks for students opinions.

I took 2 classes with Kovacs and both were different from each other. Phil1800 was easier. Not too much reading but he expects you to think hard about what he says. His lecture style is fun/engaging and he makes philosophy easier to understand than probably a lot of other professors.

I did not go to class but still got an A. Prof.Kovacs is awesome and easy to talk to outside of class. You are only required to journal on the reading and discuss it; you'll get a B+. For an A, you have to take the final, which is strictly based on the 3 pages fact sheet he gives you at the end of the semester. Overall a great professor and class.

He was okay, explained complex concepts well, a lot of reading and wasn't sure what notes to take since it's just him talking. Doesn't use brightspace so not sure what my grade was. Final Paper is worth 70% of the grade with homework, participation, midterm the last 30%. Unorthodox to say the least so maybe get another teacher if you like structure

Kovacs is a bit quirky and expects students to deeply understand material. He wants to challenge his students, but sometimes it comes off as him trying to trick you. He's genuinely caring--you just have to show you're trying. Be on time to class, participate, take time to do the hw, talk to him 1on1 and he'll look out for you. Make a study group!

Dr. Kovacs is awesome! I've decided to take philosophy as my major after taking his PHIL1800 class, definitely would recommend to take his classes and do it quick since it usually gets filled up pretty quickly.

I never thought I would enjoy a philosophy class until I got into his class. He is so funny and scary (in a good way) at times. There was a lot of audiobooks we had to listen and a quiz every two weeks. His grading method is different but not bad. Just make sure to go to classes and take notes on everything. Anything can be in those quizzes.
