Reviews of professor Nicholas Syrett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Class isn't mandatory but if you want to do well on tests, show up and put in the effort. The lectures are amazing and Prof. Syrett is funny and is also very passionate about WGSS. One of the best courses I've taken at KU.

Accused me and about 100 of my other peers of cheating on the midterm exam for using a definition that he gave us in class. I didn't even use his exact words just summarized it on my own and was still accused of cheating. Said we should be grateful that he didn't report us to the academic board. I love him up until this point but was disappointed.

Some people are naturally good at teaching, and Dr. Syrett is obviously one of them. He expects academic performance from his students, and makes it clear he views us as actual intellectuals. Dr. Syrett manages the perfect balance of a well organized class, while still coming off as approachable, funny, and kind. His classes are truly gems.

I loved taking his class. Even though there was 150 students he still made it feel welcoming and engaging.

His lectures were very engaging and interesting. All the material was easy to follow and I enjoyed the subject. However, TAs grade everything and I felt that grading wasnt always consistent. Be sure to attend lecture and take good notes and this will be an interesting and enjoyable class without too much work outside of class.

Very knowledgeable & funny professor, lectures are long but contain good information & are very clear. Very willing to answer questions & clarify info/assignments for you. T.A.'s grade papers, so grading will vary depending. Papers are pretty easy & personal. Tests are do-able if you take notes & do the readings.
