Lectures are VERY boring, honestly hard to stay awake. Doesn't allow cell phone or computer use in his class. The study sessions are helpful but beware of the VERY boring lecture.

Comment:

This is definitely not the most exciting course you will ever take. However, it is also not that difficult. His grading scale is EXTREMELY generous making it almost impossible to get anything lower than a B/C. With that being said, the exams are not the easiest and you should study and attend class. A high attendance rate results in extra credit!

Comment:

Extremely boring class, he is a great person and tries his best to include everyone but the content is not presented well. He sort of rambles on and on and you never know what to write for notes. The course guide book is one thing you NEED to get. Tons of reading

Comment:

The most boring class I've ever sat through. Very hard for me to stay awake, along with the rest of the class. He talks softly and talks the entire class about humanities. He is sometimes all over the place, tries to be funny but isn't. Nice person, bad professor.

Comment:

The class is tough, but the grading scale is generous and he bumps up your grade if you participate. To do well go to class, take notes and follow the course packet while he lectures, read the novels, and do all the study guides in the course packet . Don't bother reading the text book, he covers it all in his lectures--which are boring and long.

Comment:

I loved Professor Sadkowski. He's a very funny guy with somewhat interesting lectures. You have to read a lot in his class or else you won't pass. His quizzes are based from his mini-books you have to read along with the class one. Read or else you won't pass. It's pretty hard to without them.

I loved his class. His sense of humor was amazing. He also attempted to learn everyone's name. The only problem I had with the class is that I didn't care for some of the books.

Comment:

WAY too much work for an LAC Humanities course. He's a great, funny guy, but this class was difficult and I went to every class and hardcore studied. The course guidebook helps IMMENSELY- it has study guides in it, but tests are still difficult. Make sure you read the books he assigns. The grading scale is SUPER lenient- I got a 75% which is a B.

Sadkowski was a nice guy but his lectures were really boring and there was a lot of reading involved. Tests were difficult but he has a pretty nice grading scale, so it evens out a bit.

Comment:

Sadkowski is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. I took humanities 3 with him and his lectures can get really boring because all he does it talk and you have to look through your course packet and write down what he says. If you don't follow along then you won't pass. He gives study guides to use before the tests, but overall I liked him

Comment:

Sadkowski is the worst professor I've had at UNI. Sadkowski lacks organization, shows up late to class daily, is regularly not prepared, and fails to make this course interesting. He relies on the textbook to cover all of his material. Sadkowski teaches heavily through pointing at maps and listing European countries, dates, and leaders rapidly.

Comment:

Sadkowski lectures the entire class and it can get boring. There are only 4 exams and a couple of quizzes for grades and even with doing all the reading they were pretty difficult. He gave EC on the last two exams which was really nice. He is a nice guy and has some funny stories to tell at times. If you ask him a question he is glad to answer it.

Comment:

Overall I was pleased with the class mainly lectures, some movies every now and then, and you don't need to do the readings. Sometimes it was hard to stay awake, but it got better as time went on. Tests were easy if you paid attention, and is very humorous. One of the negatives is that you now have to pay for the course packet, but overall great.

I absolutely LOVED him! He made his lectures interesting, and I actually looked forward to going to class. He made a booklet of all the study guides and lecture outlines for us to take notes on, all you had to do was go to CopyWorks and buy it. There were a few videos, but mostly lecture information was on tests.

He's a nice guy, but very boring lectures. I have zoned out so many times. Tests are pretty tough. He does give you a study guide though. Lecture every class. Quizzes on short books and tests over a few weeks of material.

Sadkowski is pretty cool. He likes to lecture a lot, but does include some discussion and movies. His tests are difficult, but he gave us all of our study guides on the first day. His papers are demanding though.

Took him for my capstone. You have to buy and read several books.Grading goes as follows:attendance,participation, 3 exams(each exam is a essay/paper).Expect to write 3 exams around 6 to 10 pages each.Lectures are long and boing.If you read and participate-you will do fine.He is a nice guy.Not tech-savy so no powerpoints. Take notes. Good Luck!

boring lectures, not direct, rambles, unorganized, time better used on reading textbook and studying. Material on tests aren't always covered in lecture/textbook/study guides. hard to know something when you're not told about it..take a different teacher, he's a nice funny old guy, but needs to update/review methods of his lecturing cause they suck

Let's be real here, people who rate professors poorly were probably poor students to being with. His classes are easily understood and you'll do just fine if you take notes and participate in class, like you should in any class. He's a nice guy and will answer your questions if you need help and hands out a guide at the start of class.

Comment:

Didn't give the course packet to us at all, so it was very difficult. No powerpoints so you have to write everything down from what he speaks. You'll miss things. Tests are hard. No homework.
