Reviews of professor David Slutsky

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He takes attendance and you should probably Just go to class so you know whats going on. If you do that youll have no problem writing the midterm and final. If you skip youll actually have to do the readings. Super short homeworks and midterm and final and easy writing assignments. Boring af but easy and sometimes interesting. A good nice guy

He is a nice and easy professor, but taking his easy class comes with the price of a very boring and monotonous 2.5-hour lecture. Discussion is the main class component, so he doesn't talk or teach that much. It's just long. I fell asleep many times. He is a nice guy though.

Prof. Slutsky was a very lenient grader, I handed a paper in 3 days late and still got a 99. He is really nice and if you talk to him after class he is really funny and will discuss ideas further. Even if you don't read assigned pages try to participate by asking questions an piggy backing off others. Discussion board is optional I never did one.

Not bad, you just got to read a lot.

Said some very questionable things to my class and could not stop interrupting us when we talked by asking more questions while we were still in the middle of answering the first question posed. Rarely gave feedback on papers. One midterm and one final exam where you select from a list of questions.

Very knowledgeable about topics, very nice. Most of the class is talking about weekly readings, and he keeps track of participation for extra credit. Only a midterm and a final writing assignment that ask questions about topics you already talked about. He explains things in depth from his own knowledge, very helpful to take notes on what he says.

The non-writing 2.5 hour lecture is light. He takes attendance every class but spends most of the class discussing and giving examples and clarifications of readings. Sometimes he uses some sus examples but grades easy and you can pass the class from doing the readings. The writing assignments are given ahead of time for prep.

He is a really chill and sweet guy, definitely my favorite professor by far! He is very respectful in class when he explains stuff in lectures and encourages opinions and discussions. As long as you participate, you will do fine. The only grades are one midterm and one final essay, but if you participate in lectures it will help your grade.

Lectures are boring, but some of the topics that we cover are not. Lots of reading assigned, but you can get away with skimming the text. You get credit for participating in class, it might seem a little intimidating but just do it. Discussion board weekly also. Overall, nice guy but class is boring.
