Reviews of professor Seva Gunitsky

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I love Professor Gunitsky! He was definitely my favourite professor from all the 2018 2nd year International Relations courses. His lectures were clear, structured, and engaging. I would definitely take him again. He isn't monotone, which makes him nice to listen to.

Professor Gunitsky is an amazing lecturer. He explains things in detail and his lectures get easier to follow once you figure out his style. Has a sense of humour and cares for his students. Always asking us if we feel hot because the lecture hall can get pretty warm. Prof is not boring and has an amazing smile. Will definitely take another course

Really great prof, lectures were super clear and interesting even though it was online. There aren't that many assignments, Gunitsky makes the content really engaging, I hope to take many more classes with him. Super chill class, super chill prof, great subject.

Engaging lecturer that covered a lot of interesting material while also incorporating student participation. I enjoyed his class and while the course was almost entirely graded on only a couple of assignments, they were always given with a lot of leeway and extensions (72 hour period for the take home final!). Also has a funny twitter lol.

Although there weren't many assignments, he made the material (which was pretty dense) really interesting. People can definitely succeed in his classes if they keep up with readings and he is very well-versed in IR.

Favorite prof of the whole fall term - made me excited to go to class and was easy to follow along with the help of power point slides. Lots of weekly reading but also was not bad at all if you skipped a week or two or more.

Great lecturer. His style is very conversational and engaging. The course content was interesting and readings drew from many different sources. Could not recommend more highly.

Love this prof. The material is challenging given the readings (probably the hardest readings ever in UofT) but it's worth it. This man comes off as a cool guy but really knows how to guide students.

A poorly organized course. Announcements are short, infrequent, and provide little sense of direction in the course. Online lecture slides need significant technological improvement and impedes student learning. There are very few assignments to be graded from and none are returned in a timely manner. The final exam, while a take home, is worth 50%

So refreshing to have a professor that hasn't mentally checked out in 1989. Lectures are clear and applicable to other courses. Make digesting the readings easy too. Also has a funny twitter lol
