Comment:
Dr. Mika is fair, knowledgably, and passionate about librarianship. He uses a grading rubric for each assignment so pay attention to it! I have not had a problem with his assignments in terms of grammar- you are in graduate school and he expects you to perform at a ?graduate level.? He also expects utmost professionalism. Some of the lectures can b

Can be very tough if you don't double check your grammar!! Is very critical, but always in a helpful manner. Don't take his comments personal and you will do just fine!

Proper grammar is a must. Your assignment grades will suffer if he does not agree with you. I received Cs on 2 assignments because of this. Take someone else, even if it means driving all the way to Detroit.

Comment:
Demanding instructor. Emphasis on grammar and correct English upsets some, but isn't that expected in the real world. Enthusiastic about the profession and cares about the success of graduates. Helpful as an advisor and wants the best for his students. Has lots of contacts and provides references if you deserve them.

I've not had him for a class, but found him to be extremely helpful and willing to change when you present him with valid resons for it. You can't just enter whining and expect that to make a difference.

Dr. Mika is a demanding professor and can rub some people the wrong way because they don't like having someone who's actually "critical." Most LIS professors give easy A's and students don't like any professor who doesn't do that. That's their p
