Reviews of professor David Smigen-Rothkopf

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. S-R is so nice! He was always accessible outside the class and would meet with me whenever I had any questions, doubts, or concerns regarding the work we were supposed to submit. We didn't always have standard classes; we would meet in small groups or individually with him, which helped us understand the material. Highly recommend taking him!

Amazing person, very passionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. Lots of reading due for each class, takes a long time to grade and is a very strict grader. Allows rewrites.

Rothkopf is a relatively new professor. He's a stickler when it comes to papers but does provide good feedback and does allow for rewrites. He mandates that you visit him in office hours at least three times which can be helpful when you're writing papers. It does take him forever to grade. Just pay attention and do some minimal participation.

Prof. Smigen-Rothkopf is the best profeesor I ever had! He is understanding, patient, and funny! He is young, so he is very relatable. Class is never boring, and the work load is doable. If you have the opportunity TAKE HIM!

He's relatively new and is pursuing a PhD at Fordham. Had an 8:30 with him but he's always friendly and happy to see his students. Participation matters but its fun and engaging. likes to see you care. It is required to meet with him at least three times for office hours but they are very helpful and fun conversations. He's very understanding too.
