Reviews of professor Frank Karioris

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Karioris is a great person and professor. If you show up to class and do the readings, it's impossible to not pass. You're graded on 2 papers, a small presentation, attendance, and participation and he makes the class an interesting and fun environment.

Very difficult not to get an A in this class. Put mediocre effort into the assignments and participate in class and you will be good. We had 2 papers, graded more than fairly. Frank is great and class discussions are interesting and fun.

Frank's class was a fairly decent intro to the GSWS department. While he is fairly new to Pitt, he brought engaging sources and fostered in class discussion. He can seem condescending at times but in general he means well.

Frank is a really nice guy. The class is fairly easy with a midterm and final paper being the two main assignments. There's a decent amount of reading (assigned every class) but it's nothing too bad.

Don't take this class if you don't like class discussion! He never lectures and mainly lets students talk with prepared reading each class. Definitely there's a lot of reading, but overall it's not a too hard class.

Frank is awesome. There were a lot of readings, but we weren't required to read them all. The only things we were graded on was a final paper (that was long, but Frank was easily accessible outside of class and gave great feedback, so it was like, actually difficult to get a bad grade on it), a presentation, and 2 1-page event responses.

Frank is hilarious and someone I would want to be friends with. He is super intelligent and experienced in the gender studies field, but he doesn't lecture much. The class is mostly run by students, which is cool because the discussions are entertaining. Its an easy class that keeps you thinking about current issues in the news.
