Reviews of professor Daniel Polyak

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took this professor for WGSS266 class. Just a caring professor. He gave extensions if necessary but don't take advantage of that. There were weekly quizzes but they were very easy if you just read the material and pay attention in his lectures. Paper in the end, but it was on any topic we liked from the course. Take him, you won't regret it.

Prof. Polyak has such a talent for teaching! I took his class for "bathroom politics" and it was an absolute gem. I will never look at the bathroom the same. He is sweet and fun and all around very kind. He made learning interesting and interactive so that the work and tests were never hard. I wish every prof was like him!!

I took this just to fill a credit but boy I have learned and enjoyed this class so much! TAKE good notes for your quizzes/papers, get ready to read but besides that everything is straight forward. Readings are interesting. Love the discussions just to see how everyone views certain topics and has respect for each other. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Too much reading and so many essays for a not writing intensive course. Take another prof.

Professor Polyak is a gem! He is caring and you can tell he is passionate about what he teaches. The class itself is a writing-intensive class so you'll be doing lots of reading and writing. I would say the readings are a bit much, but as long as you skim and get a general concept you'll be fine. He also goes over everything in class.
