Comment:
I took Mr. Adamek's "Intro. to World Religions" course over this summer and I must say that it was an extremely interesting class. I learned a lot from this class and it was interesting to learn about different religions. I will admit that it was a hard class because tests are worth about 70 to 90% of your grade, but extra credit is given out.

DO NOT EVEN READ THE REST OF THESES! incoherent lectures, relies on you reading book but never tells you where we are, confusing tests. Do not take him. Stuck in the 1970s education. unclear due dates and what is wanted for each assignment. tries to teach over your head and uses big words when he doesn't need to. maybe knowledgeable, doubt it.

I took 2 of Adamek's classes, it's been some time so I don't remember the course codes but one a basic level philosophy class and the other was a humanities class. As someone that loves tests and art and philosophy, the class was a breeze as long as you showed up every time. I didn't read the text but pictures were necessary for studying in HUM1XX.

This class begs one to think and this teacher is a one man think-tank. Here's very diverse in his knowledge and will be honest with you. I carry those lectures and ideas with me still. Take any of the classes taught by him as it would only be to your benefit. We need the humanities. We need to feel & think deeply. Mr. Adamek will show you how!!! :)

Mr. Adamek is a teacher you'll want to take if you have need for one of the classes he teaches. He has knowledge, he thinks deeply, he sees humanity and life in all their Glory. He can open your mind to ideas you did not know you needed, but are as vital as breath. The humanities pertain to humans and our experience. Arrive open and ready to think.

Comment:
Mr. Adamek was one of my favorite instructors of the semester. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and well intentioned. Adamek lectures are comprehensive and his style is Socratic. Some may criticize him for being circular. I don't or wouldn't share that criticism. In my view, Adamek lectures in a way that provides and reinforces clarity.

He is a very smart man & is a pretty good teacher. Nice guy. Sometimes his lectures can be confusing. Speaks in a question. Be prepared to be called on even if your hand isnt up. Book is only used a little bit, but is crucial for studying. No hw. Lectures all class. Essay on each exam. Lots of writing on the final. DO NOT SKIP & TAKE NOTES

Comment:
Philosophy 101 wasn't as great as it initially seemed. Adamek is so picky about students memorizing tons of abstract, unclear philosophies and who argued them. He calls out students in class and asks them something he said once two weeks ago, as if anyone can remember so much information. Tests (and final) are a ton to study for. No textbook use.

Entirely lecture, based on reading. You MUST do the reading to have any idea what's going on. There is no homework. Adamek is compassionate, fair and extremely knowledgeable. He's also older and sometimes gets his words mixed up which can occasionally make for a confusing time. Always ask questions, though, he will answer and own when he's mistaken

Mr. Adamek is an amazing teacher! He is extremely knowledgable about philosophy, and he teaches it in a way that can be understood. He lectures, but he's not just reading off of a PowerPoint, and he gets everyone involved that way he can make sure you understand the information. I would definitely recommend him if you're taking Philosophy!

Great professor. He has a passion for what he teaches, he really makes you drop your bias in this class and forces you to evaluate different Philosophy as an argument. Put in the time and you will be fine.

New Testament - I actually enjoyed his class, but it was ridiculously difficult for a 100 level class. He is very knowledgeable, but would be better off teaching at a seminary. Unless you are looking to minor in religious studies, you'd be better off to find easier classes than this one to fill your humanities requirements.

I feel that he was a very clear-cut instructor. He asks questions to keep you involved, and was willing to explore different scenarios to better understand each philosopher. He offers a lot of extra credit, is clear about what will be on tests and finals, and is very easy to work with. One of my favorite professors.

It's a difficult class. He is going to stand in the front of the class and lecture without a pp or notes. Many post how annoying he is for asking everything in a question.. but it's a freethinking philosophy class. He is a dope professor. Not much you can do to study except write down every word he says. If you plan to skate by you won't get an A/B

Stellar dude. He is clear cut. Lecture is important to attend, and quite honestly interesting. If you plan to skate by don't expect an A. Allows 30 points of extra credit in a 500 pt class. Drops lowest test score for your best test grade. Tip: if you're prone to being late to class take in the morning, doesn't count you tardy for being late.

While it may be listed as a 100 level class, it's taught closer to a 300 level class. His lectures are confusing as everything is finished with a question. His tests are tough as you only get 30 minutes which includes a 3-5 paragraph hand written essay. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GPA

I took two of his classes. I really like him. He is tough. He expects you to know your stuff. Class structure is simple, all lecture. Never any homework Quizzes are short but tests are hard with essays. He is very knowledgeable but if he is wrong or misunderstood something he will check it out and happily admit to his mistakes or misunderstanding.
