Professor Koropeckyj is really passionate about the subject, and specifically studies both Polish and Ukrainian history. Loved this class, would 100% take again. There were readings, some of which were interesting, but they weren’t enforced. Most of the learning you do is in the lecture. Take this class!! Especially now that its so relevant to current world events.

If you're looking at reviews for this class, you're probably interested in Ukrainian history, so just take this class. Professor Koropeckyj is fantastic. I can see why he'd be a tough professor in a class where you have graded exams, but for a p/np fiat lux, his meticulous attention to detail and expansive knowledge only add to the experience. I came into the class decently knowledgeable on the region, and I still learned a lot and got a new perspective on the things I did know. Highly, highly recommend.
