GOAT. He is so caring and attentive to his students. Gives really good and genuine feedback and accessible outside of class. Loved his humor and lectures!

Professor Nikityn made my first quarter genuinely enjoyable, something I never thought I'd say about a writing class. He creates a very welcoming and supportive environment, which was especially meaningful to me as a first-generation college student. He explains assignments clearly and grading is very easy to follow. Highly recommend!!

Such an amazing professor omg actually was the goat, clear/easy assignments and lectures, and very helpful in office hours! He treats you almost like a friend and if I could I would take all my writing courses with him!!!! Take writing 2 with him and go to his office hours he's so chill and sweet

My GOAT writ2 teacher. Would definitely take again this course. He is like a friend instead of a teacher in office hour. If you want to take writ2, just take his course since it would make life much easier.

Best professor EVER. Don't take anyone else for Writ2!! Actually made me enjoy and feel confident in my writing. Made the 1hr 50min lectures go by quick. Very funny and caring, wants you to succeed. As long as you do all the assignments and miss no more than 2 classes, you'll get an A. I love Dave and I'm going to miss him real talk. TAKE HIS CLASS
