Reviews of professor Violeta Iosub

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Iosub is the best teacher I have encountered in the science department. She clearly values education and the art of teaching. It is important to go to lectures as each module builds on the previous on however practice problems and detailed solutions are provided as well as previous midterms and finals so there are no surprises on exams.

I hate chemistry but her lectures make me actually want to pay attention. She somehow makes it sound interesting and explains things very well.

She is one of my favourite profs at UVic, she teaches so well, and cares so deeply for her students. I would and have taken every class she offers here. I am sad I cant take any more of her courses

Prof. Iosub made organic chem a breeze. Lectures were well paced, great explanations, homework and assignments were helpful, and her exams were fair. She posts previous exams to study from and both midterms and finals were similar, so no surprises. I'd definitely take a class with her again.

This is my best professor ever! she's the best; she explains well inside and outside lectures, gives detailed feedback, and tells you where to improve. Her midterms and exams are very well organized. You can get above a 95% in this class if you are determined and engaged. She made classes very fun for me. Attend office hours, they helped a lot!

Dr. Iosub is the best chemistry prof I've had to this point. She is clearly very passionate not only about chemistry but also about how her students learn.

I struggled a lot in the first part of this class, so don't forget to buckle down and put in the work! Ochem isn't an easy class but she makes up for it 100%.

Definitely attend office hours!!

She was hard to reach, an extremely slow grader and in general absent. Don't ask her for help even if it says in the assignment to ask if you have questions as she will just tell you that she can't do anything. The class has the potential to be interesting and informative but is taught horribly. would avoid at all costs.

Undoubtedly the worst professor i ever had at UVic. I got an A because of how hard I studied, not because of this "prof". I dont give her any credit for my success whatsoever. She derived questions that would never be used, and gave us no practice problems for exams. Don't even bother going through her slides, because its useless.

This class was incredibly difficult to get through. Lots of errors in lectures, requiring lectures to be re-recorded and you had to watch them later (a second completely different 1+ hour lecture) to be able to get the correct info. Threatened to report students for harassment for asking simple questions, ignored emails. avoid if possible
