 Pros: Always leave early
The class is mostly BS and very easy
Some of his stories are crazy
Cons: The guy is a nut case
He's extremely unclear
taught me nothing on the class subject
More than half of the classes were spent with him telling random stories and giving us life advice rather than teaching us anything. More than half way through the term he realized he hadn't assigned us anything and began assigning us papers and presentations with little time to prepare. Although he assigned work, he made no sense and was unclear what he wanted from us. Since he assigned our group project so late, everyone ended up having to hand in their group paper and present during finals week. He really shouldn't be teaching.

 Cons: this guy is fucking out there. He is only here because drexel probably cant fire him. he makes you watch an indie film and do both your midterm and your final on it. This professor made me realize why people shit on Drexel it has made me hate this school. I sat through this class and literally got dumber. the film in case you were wondering had people on acid and others robbing people it had no plot no substance and he loves it because the characters are retards.
Hes not even a fucking business guy. First day of class he asks us about Drexel I tell him Coop led to me landing a job so he shits on corporate america.

 Pros: This guy is super funny and nice. He tells you that you will use the text book, but you never do (don't buy it!!). He tells you that you'll write a million papers, but you end up writing two or three. The papers are so easy and for all of them you just watch a movie of your choice and discuss the issues in it. The class is mostly just watching movies, but he'll get upset if you sleep or use your phone. Midtem and final are just powerpoints on movies of your choice, and you work with a group. For both, my group did the projects in about an hour. Overall, a really easy class!
Cons: Gets really upset if you miss even one class. If you're looking to learn, don't take this class. It was an easy A, but I literally learned nothing.

 Pros: Great guy and is really fun, watch movies quite usually, class flies by.
Cons: he gets upset with poor attendance and if you're really late to class.
If you show up to class an pay attention you'll get an easy A. This guy was awesome and we usually watched parts of movies. He never showed the whole thing, but clips to get certain points across. He didn't use the book too much (eventually gave up on it) but he does plan to use it. The 2 "exams" are powerpoints (one is your final) that are about a movie of your choice and reallyl simple. Also he has 2 small projects which are one page papers (very easy on grading if your paper flows well and makes sense) - you can also bs these and he'll believe you. The only way you could do bad in the class is if you don't show up, come in late, use your cellphone/laptop during movies. But he offers easy ways to make it up. Want an easy A and a fun class? TAKE THIS GUY, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!!

 Pros: Very laid back, tests are projects and papers, grades easy
Cons: Sometimes he goes on rants that have nothing to do with anything, but hey, anything to waste class time.
This guy is awesome. Totally laid back, and allows the class to participate. Most of the time we watched movies in his class... I would definitely recommend this professor for this class. Easiest A+ you'll ever get. Just show up to class and do the assignments (which are MAX 3-4 pages long) and you're set.

 This guy is the fuckin' man, crazy but very cool. Didn't have much work but he gives you an interesting prospective on things you wouldn't have otherwise seen. He doesn't kill you with tons of work, just minimal, which is very nice if you're looking for credits. He likes the words "aweful", "right?", and "mmmmhhhhhh!!!" and it's pretty funny listening to it. Class FLYS BY. Great guy, great class. Take him if you're not a rich snob who absolutely needs to make the very very most out of each and every credit. You'll still learn some stuff and have some fun, stress-free.

 Class was boring, but really easy. Essays require no effort, just meet the length requirement. If you merely satisfy the requirements you get an A, and if you exceed requirements even a little bit you get an A+. I took the night class, and he used to let us out an hour early. If you bring a computer or some electronic device to keep you occupied you are golden.
Bottom line:
Take this class and enjoy your easy A.

 Great guy...talks about his life most of the class. The class is never dull but you have no idea what your grade is until you find it on DrexelOne. He doesn't care if you e-mail him your papers a little late. The presentations and group work were the biggest learning points, so I took away from the class what I think is most important.

 Easiest teacher ever. didnt follow the sylabus one bit. only 2 papers out of the required 5 did we actually get to complete. the last day of classes presentation counted for 66 percent of our grade. great guy, gets a little off topic but take it for the A. He is always in a great mood even when he has a different illness each week.

 he babbles on and half the class he is talking about his illnesses. i didn't learn anything. he canceled class a lot and the work all came at the end. half the class never showed up and we didn't know any of our grades until the last day of class. he is a wacko and the syllabus looks like an intense class and its a joke.

 Honestly I would say what a waste of class, I'm a COM major that has no interest in using graphic design tools. Well I went on co-op where we use Quark to write all the bios and post on the web so because of his course and the extent I got to use the software I'd he was alright.

 This guy is the biggest bullshit artist in Drexel, he probably lies about half the stuff he has "accomplished" in his career. He is the worst teacher I have ever had. He talks about the most irrelevant topics. He has not taught anything that can be used in the real world and is wasting everybody's time.
the positive: everyone in the class gets an A no matter what, he cancels class a lot, he gave 3 short assignments

 I decided to use a scientific method to determin the validity of a majority of the comments written about the professor. In particular, does he really cancel class so often, is there really no work of substance given, is it a waster of time, and most importantly is it an easy A.
1. This class met three times a week and although one or two of those days fell on university holidays, the professor called off at least 6 other times. therefore, i agree with my first question.
2. three papers a midterm and a final project make up the grade. although nothing was handed back with a grade and assignments were so broad anything written would have sufficed. with these two observations, both my second and third questions were proven true.
3. i am not sure how to prove it was an easy A, there is no control. but i got an A and did not work hard...all the hot girls in the class that did not work got an A. so i guess if your a hot girl or a regular guy like me...just do no work and get the EASY A.
Thank you...i would like to thank the professor for allowing this scientific study to be performed.

 Whoever left that last comment, I do not know who you think that you are, but you are COMPLETELY wrong and EVERYONE must ignore this guy leaving bad comments. He is the best teacher here at Drexel. He is fun in class, easy to get along with, and he KNOWS HIS STUFF. If you are looking for a class to have fun in and work in groups take him! He is absolutely AMAZING!

 Ever wonder what the pain is like when ur nails get ripped off...Take this guy. This is the second time i have taken him. There is prectically no work given at all and if there is its the easy shit on the planet. The reason why im giving him a negative grade is because his class is truly a waste of time and money. I dont caer how lazy your are dont take his classes. He will tell you the same stories over and over. And God forbid you try and prove him wrong. He apparently knows everything and has done everything. Avoid him if you value ur education. Avoid him if you have any respect for yourself or who ever is paying for your education. You will not learn a Dam thing. All i wanted to do was learn a dam cover letter and we havent dont a simple thing like that yet!

 Professor Iwanczuk's class was boring but also a rejuvenator at 9am. I probably opened the textbook all of 3 times and he gives take home tests that he grades very easy. This class really helps your GPA and he is genuinely a really nice man...you just need patience and a sense of odd humor to attend and sit through his class.

 The hard part is not doing his assignments but actually sitting through his class. He talks unbelievably long, telling you his life's story. On the first day of class, I found out he was 60, he doesn't drink, he has all these illnesses, he has swords at home, his wife passed away, he taught this and that. Very boring.. but easy grader.. Take him if you're patient.

 I dont know what everyone is complaining about-- this is DEFINITELY an easy A professor... and since Drexel already screws you over on your GPA- you kind of NEED these kind of caring easy-go-lucky teachers. So what if he didn't teach anything?? That means the more concentration you can put into those stick in the ass professors' classes. You do have to sit through his ramblings.. but its all worth that A

 Iwanczuk spent the entire ten weeks of the quarter telling tall tales of his accomplishments and subjecting us to pointless website critiques. We were supposed to build a website for our final project, but for whatever reason, Iwanczuk chose not to devote any class time to teaching us how to do that. He is, without a doubt, the worst teacher I have ever had.
