Comment:
Karen is a well respected member of the English department and is wickedly intelligent. That being said, she has made a few comments in the past that were less than favorable. She also makes you sing if youre late, which for people whove been diagnosed with chronic anxiety, like me, really is detrimental to ones own self worth in the classroom.

Professor Kovacik know's her stuff. If you take her course, you must demonstrate that you are learning the principals. If you are willing she will meet with you in order to work with, and guide you along . She is no easy A though.

Comment:
Professor Kovacik is somewhat limiting. Her insistence on imitating other poets is interesting, but it would have been better to be able to choose a poet to imitate (rather than her favorites). She often rewrote my entire poem. Her feedback - without rewriting - would have been welcome. She also had little class control.

Comment:
Like another said, she needs to expand her horizons. I want to learn about world poetry, not just Poland. Came of somewhat rude and used the class for her own political agenda. Not open to contrasting theories or beliefs.

The woman is amazing and gifted. However, her classes are for serious writers who are interested in learning the craft and gaining experience within the writing process. Not for those who aspire to write greeting card sonnets.

Very good writer, but also passive-aggressive, condescending, and STUCK on all things Poland (food, writers, culture, etc.). It's interesting, but expand your curriculum a little!
