Reviews of professor Dagmar Wujastyk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You wouldn't know what you are missing until you take her course. The best thing about her classes was her thoughtful efforts and ideas to make the materials comprehensible for the students who had zero prior knowledge of South Asian history. She's very understanding and gives a second chance to improve grades. Always clear about expectations.

Dagmar is a great prof, you can tell she really cares about what she is teaching. She is extremely personable and kind, even went out of her way to make us cookies for our last day of classes. Class structure is a bit informal, quite discussion based, but it keeps your interest and attention. Do the readings and come to class!

A super sweet prof, gives great lectures and is clearly passionate about the subject. I'd say the course was fairly easy and the marking is generous. I would 100% take a class of hers again. Graded on a midterm, three quizzes and a final.

Prof is highly knowledgeable and enriches lectures with insightful tangents. She values in-depth understanding but emphasizes in-class participation and attendance, which make up a large portion of your final grade. She's accommodating, encourages independent thinking, and offers freedom in the final project, promoting creativity. Recommend her!

Very engaging lecturer and makes a pretty obscure topic (Indian alchemy in this case) understandable. She answers questions very well and makes her expectations clear. She's kind and clearly interested in student success.

Dagmar was honestly the most caring prof I've had, she didn't get agitated if you had to ask her to explain again. The course consisted of participation, 5 quizzes every few weeks, a midterm and a final. If you showed up almost every day you got the full participants marks The course is kind of heavy, you actually need to review almost everyday

Very knowledgeable professor. Knows the ins and outs of every topic she is teaching on. You are graded on a midterm, a paper, and the final. Her lectures are well paced and informative and she has a dedicated question period at the beginning of class to help you understand last class' lecture. She could do more to help you prepare for the final.

Prof. Wujastyk's seminar sessions were always enjoyable and full of energy. For most of the classes of this course, you'd see her sitting with alchemy stuffs in front of her to give students the material experience of what she teaches. She makes difficult and even technical readings interesting to engage with. Always recommended!
