Reviews of professor John Karas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Karas was my favorite professor my freshman year, had him as my Ancients teacher. Extremely easy class , very nice and fair guy. Papers are super easy he tells you exactly what he wants on it and if you follow that you'll get a good grade. Great guy 10/10.

If you have the chance to take professor Karas, take him. He's one of the best ancients professors there is. Such a caring guy. His classes are discussion based and it can get a little boring, but no matter what you say he'll make you feel like you've made a good point. Workload is light and tests are very easy since he tells you the questions.

Test is easy, most of homework are comments instead of essay. He is a good professor although the course is boring.

Best prof I have taken so far at nova. If you participate you will get an A. 2 papers. 2 short responses. 2 tests (gives you the questions beforehand) Homework about once a week but simple. Such a smart guy and no matter what you say in discussion he will value. Never judges what you say in discussions. Really nice guy too. 11/10.

Professor Karas was a great teacher for ACS. It's easy for the material to get boring especially if you're not into philosophy/theology lectures, but he really does make it more interesting. Participation definitely matters, but you don't need to go above and beyond, just show you care about the class and you'll do well. Super fair grader also.

Good teacher although some of the material was boring. Some of the lectures were really boring and he goes off explaining things that don't matter. Really nice guy though and cares a lot about participation.

TAKE TAKE TAKE. Hes very knowledgable and you can learn a lot but also you can just not do any of the readings and probably pull off an A. You really do need to participate though, he cares a lot about that and you're graded on it. Its not hard to participate though even if you didnt read. He gives you the test questions before the tests

Prof Karas is an awesome teacher and he definitely cares about his students. There are only about 2 papers and they are both clearly laid out so you can earn a good grade. As long as you participate you will be successful. His tests are super easy too.

He is one of the best professors I've ever had. He assigns 1-2 sets of informal comments each week which are super easy. 2 formal papers and 2 film response papers. 2 tests that are easy A's because he gives you all of the answers to them. Participation is definitely necessary to do well in this class. He is an awesome professor.

I could say so many good things about Dr. Karas - truly one of the best out there. You're very lucky if you get him for Ancients.

He is that guy. A professor I loved and would often meet with outside of class time to just chat.
