More work than grad school. 600 page readings weekly. Weekly Quiz answers are rediculously similar and impossible to ace. Weekly Discussion criteria impossible to meet. Grades harder than any professor I've seen. 200 level class harder than grad level classes. Run far away from this class. He sucks the fun from an interesting classSOC250 2017-03-03 05:30:44 +0000 UTC
Absolutey great professor!...wish he would come back and teach here at NU...i gotta admit, his lectures were a bit boring, but class activities were fun and his tests weren't that bad. Social movements rock!!!;)SOCU210 2006-07-13 15:28:28 +0000 UTC
Stanislav is a really sweet dude, and I'm glad I got to have him as a professor, and I wish he would come back to boston and visit.SOCIALTHEORY 2005-09-03 06:42:18 +0000 UTC

Certain classes of his can be tough. I thought he was interesting and one of the better teachers here at neu.THEORYVIOLENCE 2005-04-07 16:03:41 +0000 UTC
stas is an overall nice guy but can often say things that are offensive without meaning to. some interesting classes, some not so much.SOC 2005-04-04 15:15:12 +0000 UTC
He was a really great professor- as long as you go to class and take notes, his tests are so easy...not a hard grader and is a nice guy overall- helpful if you go to office hours and is simpathetic about gradingSOCIALPROBLEMS 2005-03-30 10:21:36 +0000 UTC
This class is cool, but I thought it would be better. Classes are hit or miss by each day. Either it is really interesting or it is just plain boring. Stas is good at what he does, but likes to put down socialogy majors which is kind of disheartening even though i am not one.U210SOC 2005-03-09 22:20:38 +0000 UTC
Anyone who knows punk rock knows this guy is a poseur. He's prestentious as well as arrogant. Makes many generalized statements. Furthermore, his multiple choice tests don't test you on the material but on your sociological background.PREJANDVIOLE 2005-02-25 10:23:17 +0000 UTC
I have had Stas for 4 different classes unintentionally but have learned a considerable amount from all.(Soc Theory,Problems,Psychology and Violence)He is good at mixing his material with personal stories and tries to make it as interesting as he can but does not accomplish his goal all of the time.SOCIALVIOLENCE 2004-11-16 18:24:58 +0000 UTC
Young,interesting knows his social problems, kind of a tough grader beacuse hes trying to prove himself as an instructor. Good class. dont regret taking it at all.SOCPROB 2004-11-02 13:36:54 +0000 UTC
He is a really cool professor, just be ready to talk, he will sit there in silence until someone answers the question he asked. Not an easy class, but really interesting.SOC300 2004-07-28 21:57:11 +0000 UTC
how many many other professors have crass tattoos? this guy rocks and really has an amazing grasp of social theory, very interesting class but not easy.SOCTHEORY 2004-04-01 20:35:42 +0000 UTC
This guy is probably my favorite teacher this semester. He's a young punk rocker activist, which definately makes the class pretty cool. I think his lectures are interesting, and he really seems to know his stuff and how to explain it to the class well.SOC228 2003-12-07 14:43:22 +0000 UTC
