Comment:

Pluses: super caring, has in-depth knowledge of the topic (urban politics in this case), funny (at least in my opinion). Minuses: touch grader, very particular about grammar, makes you read A LOT (300 lvl course load), his lectures don't go over the readings but rather vaguely tie them together. I personally liked the course but many wouldn't.

Comment:

This course was a little weird. Professor expects students to solve contemporary political issues. Extremely politically biased. Class is filled with constant gringe-worthy jokes.

Comment:

Not an easy A class. Regret taking his class. There are so many assignments but limited time. Not easy class at all. Avoid if you can. Grading criteria is vague. You never know your grade until the end of semester. I would NOT recommend his classes.

Comment:

So, professor Krinsky was my FAVORITE professor this past semester. He dubbed me queen ball buster, and we had LOTS of laughs. He is tough on participation for his class. No textbooks for any of his courses because he feels it is too costly to students. He is an AMAZING professor. I am taking him next semester for Urban Politics.

Krinsky really cares about the topics he teaches, and makes sure we did too. Don't be late, we all learned the hard way! The group project was a bit confusing at first, but he guided us through it. A lot of writing for the assignments we did!

Comment:

3 group projects, each w different ppl. Weekly online quizzes, lots of reading required, & 15 page paper due end of semester. Does go off on tangents, esp. when people walk in late. Delays info on group work & paper, can overwhelm students w heavy courseloads. Class only offered as morning class every Fall. Class falls behind schedule sometimes.

First of all, Krinsky is passionately sexy. In my opinion his class is not that difficult and he's an easy grader. His thoughts can be all over the place sometimes, but he's still and good teacher and the material is very interesting. It was an easy A. I loved him.

Comment:

There are three types of professors in college.Some who we wonder how they got their job, others who are really smart and can communicate and then there is a third category comprised of professors who know a lot but should not be working with kids. This is the category that Prof. Krinsky falls into. He doesn't really know how to TEACH.

Comment:

go to his office hours. participate in class. you will never know exactly where you stand. he gives two papers, make sure you understand what he wants. he doesn't explain himself well. he goes on tangents. if your taking this class because you love poli sci- you may have an interest level to do the 200 pages of reading/participating per week.

Comment:

Krinsky doesn't tolerate lateness. He gives about 50-60 pages to read. He expects you to participate. There was 4 assignments for our class. He doesn't give grades until after the last paper, at the end of the semester. This may or may not be hard to gauge where you stand. He has little tolerance for cheaters. Doesn't give good instruction.Beware.

I loved this class. Professor is extremely smart, but down to earth. The only downside was the amount of reading and writing. However, it helped immensely to make better sence of what is public policy. Oh, one more thing, Krinsky is HOT!

Comment:

Very interesting professor and class...SO MUCH READING, though!!! In the end it was worth it. I learned a lot. Krinsky is very passionate about what he does. Only thing I can tell u is...If u're not interested in REALLY learning, leave the space for someone else who is!!!
