Reviews of professor Mike Zawaski

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you need a gen ed credit, find a different class to take. Mike's assignments are often hard to understand because the questions have no proofreading and the objectives are vague. Also, some of them require a lot of time outside of class and he's not very accommodating towards schedule conflicts.

I took his class as a global perspectives credit as a stem major and it's one of my heaviest workloads this semester, not to mention Mike is just out of touch with both his own graders and what his students are going through. The material is interesting, but grading is ridiculous, with some major assessments lacking any partial credit.

Mike was the worst teacher I have ever had! There is absolutely no partial credit on homework or tests. All of the assignments, observing projects, and exams had typos in the questions, and also most of them made no sense grammatically. He grades very hard on everything and basically expects you to know what he is going to say. Absolutely the worst

As a new professor, Mike has very poor structure to lecture and is pretty strict about homework and exams. Many assignments are long, vague, and worth a lot of your grade. Exams are difficult and test if you were paying attention in lecture and not much partial credit is awarded. If you are taking for gen. ed, don't take this class with Mike!

Definitely a higher workload than a gen class should require. Slides do not encompass the entirety of the lecture, as most are pictures, and they are not recorded for later viewing. As for my own grade, he is very extreme on cheating to say the least, despite not always putting in the measures to fully attempt to curb it. Cool class, new/bad prof.

DO NOT take a class with this professor. Takes his frustration out on students. Assignments and test questions are poorly worded, and he is a very harsh grader. Was not qualified to teach this class, and that being said, turned a beginner-level/elective course into something I stressed about every day. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Overall a decent professor, but with a few flaws. Test questions are pulled from obscure lecture slides. His class is not difficult, but he does expect a decent amount of effort from students, even though everyone takes his class to fulfill a gen ed credit.
