Comment:
Literally impossible to pass, if you're a student athlete you might as well throw your life away. He assigns hours of homework for one night and puts the most random things on the tests. Even if you try you're lucky for a C and he informs you of tests less than a week in advance so you have no time to study. He is a nice guy but a mean hard Prof

Pretty disappointed with this class overall although there were some aspects I enjoyed. The aggressive and forceful style of conveying information coupled with the relentless attempt to make students feel dumb made the class uncomfortable, to say the least. The workload was extreme for the intro level class, more than any other intro class.

I have had two classes with Kujawa and plan to take more. He is an extremely hard professor, he expects you to do the homework and to be in class. If you work hard in his classes then you will learn a lot. Deep down he really cares about his students and wants them to learn. Don't avoid Kujawa just be prepared to work hard and learn a lot!!

He opened this class with "Nobody has gotten an A in my class" His class is pretty difficult in the beginning but as time goes on if you do the reading it gets easier. One of the most difficult courses I've taken.

They call him the 'GPA Killer' for a reason. This guy is not here to make any friends. Hardest professor here at St. Mikes hands down. If you can avoid this class DO IT or make sure its a different professor teaching this course. You'll be lucky if you get a C in his class.

I'm not going to lie, it's a very tough class. Make sure you study for his map quizzes and do all the readings. He's a really good guy though and willing to help anyone who needs it. I recommend going to his office hours (if he sees you often, it'll help your grade) as well as completing optionals. The biggest thing is going to him for help.

This guy should not be teaching this course! Taking it was one of the worse mistakes of my academic career. His class expectations are ridiculous. Horrible professor. My gosh what a terrible class!

The only things you need to do to succeed in his class: pay attention, attend class, and do ALL (or at least the majority) of the work he assigns. If you are not willing to do all three of these things, than do not put yourself in any classes that he teaches because if you do you will be lucky to get a C

This guy should not be teaching a PoliScience class at st. mikes. I had no idea who he was until I took this class as an elective for my PO major. BIG MISTAKE. No critical thinking skills required, just the torture of a sem memorizing silly facts I can't remember today. I would have learned more on an online class. Please stick with GEOGRAPHY.

Really liked the class. Learned a ton. Prof is very smart and loves his subject but expects students to do their work (duh). If you are smart and up for a challenge, you will be so glad you took his class.

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. It is extremely difficult and his grading scale is horrible. If you fail one quiz, your grade will drastically suffer. Not helpful, rude, expects us to teach ourselves through textbook. Exams = HARD. 100% DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:
SMC just changed to a 4 credit system, but this class should have been 6 credits with the amount of readying assigned for every class. Attendance is a must! Out of two 100 page readings for 1 class, he will only cover a little. Be ready with notes and make time to visit during his office hours weekly if you want to get anything better than a D+.
