SLAVIC 207
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Great professor!!! Class just feels like a fun group discussion, focus is on learning the language rather than completing the assignments. So easy to recommend Prof. Borowski

Professor Borowski is a super caring professor and works hard to make sure all students are engaged with the course. There is a lot of opportunity for correction and he prioritizes understanding over memorization. I would definitely recommend if you want to learn a Slavic language.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
I had Professor Borowski for Slavic 278 while the majority of classes were online during the Spring 2021 semester. His lessons were always well planned, engaging and relevant. He was receptive to questions and gave extensive feedback on my assignments. He's a super friendly and fun professor, I recommend him to anyone taking Polish.
