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

Such a great professor for my Writing A2 GE requirement. All of his assignments are based on completion and your reflection at the end of the quarter basically determines what grade you are going to get/deserve. As long as you show up to most of his class days and submit the work that is required in a timely manner, you will do just fine.

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.

He's such a caring and sweet teacher and super encouraging!! Definitely recommend this class with him!

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

First RMP review had to go to this guy. Genuinely the nicest professor I have encountered. Cares for you and grades clearly and fairly. GOAT writing professor

He's the goat

Awesome professor! He does specs grading, which is SO nice. All assignments are graded based on completion and class attendance. He provides clear and constructive feedback and is supportive and accessible outside of class. There are no sections, and he ended class early (1hr 50 min class that ended up being 1hr 30 max.

I've never written a RMP before but I feel like I HAVE to for Dave. I don't know what else to say other than it is so clear he was meant to teach. All the reviews are spot on; best professor ever.

Best professor ever. If he's an option please take him. Made writing enjoyable. Grading is based on just making sure u completed all the requirements rather than how advance of a writer you are. Would take again. Very flexible.
