Great guy!

You will not learn much. His tests are more about his personal family history and opinions than the class material. His final exam was about the role of gender in South American revolutionary movements for a class about comparing government structures. By far the strangest most irrelevant class I've ever taken.

His lectures can be a bit dry, especially if you don't do the reading. He is a lenient grader and is a very funny guy. He tells stories and has a lot of personal experience in what he teaches, but it can be very boring. His powerpoints online are also very vague, so pay attention and do the reading, although, I got a great grade without doing so

By far the weirdest class I took. His lectures are so boring and we had two small papers and that was it. No homework, nothing. It was the easiest class I've ever taken. It seems like it's gonna be hard but it isn't. Cool dude though, it's a shame his class isn't more structured because it could be interesting but just is not

Professor Luciak is one of my favorite professors at VT! I've taken both of his classes and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. His lectures are a bit monotonous at times but it's clear he's very interested in the subject matter and cares if his students are grasping the information.
