Reviews of professor Arthur Sikora

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is the best prof to take for this course. He asks hard questions but curves the tests generously (if deserved). He promotes creativity and wants his students to do well. everyone asks for his prac exams bc he is the best. no hmw. HE HAS VERY VERY LONG LABS THO!! not super hard but very very time consuming. he is really funny, nice and smart

Just don't take him. His class is so unnecessarily hard. Biochem is already a hard class but he makes it almost impossible to succeed. He wants the exam averages to be 50-60%, so you can imagine how hard they are. The only good thing is that he does test regrades. The lab is also unnecessarily hard. Hes also just not a good teacher, doesnt explain.

Such a hard class

The tests are difficult, but you can do test corrections for each exam; if you fall within the average, you'll end up with a 70 on the exams. Moreover, attendance is not mandatory, but there are Poll Everywhere questions each class; the questions are scattered around the PPT and appear randomly. Lab is complicated, but the assignments are doable.

this course is hard but he makes it as easy as it could be. the concepts are tough, a lot of application. dr Sikora posts his lectures, is available 24/7, he promotes his office hours and accommodates his students. he loves having intellectual conversations LOL. def take him

He gives what seems like little work but it has an insane amount of sub subjects each hw has like 40 question that almost all have 3prts to them. Good part all tests and quizzes are online and at home during class hours. Doesn't accept late work. He's a little awkward. Attendance isn't mandatory.

No homework but there are some activities that need be done. Labs are difficult but tbh not a tough grader, but you do need to do a group presentation at the end so make sure to know what ur doing. He skims over material in lecture & ALL 3 of his exams are open-ended questions + 1 page (front + back) of MC qs. He does do test corrections.

This is a hard class, but Prof Sikora made it amazing. His lectures were great, such a funny guy, and his tests were very fair. He also does regrades on tests so you're able to gain half the points that you missed back. Assignments are a lot, but if you stay on top of them they're reasonable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Very tough to do well

Don't take if you are trying to actually learn/understand material. Teaches fast - he skims over info and only gives big idea of topics. Exams are abstract but he offers test corrections, though we got scammed for the last exam before the final where he was too lazy to give us the option, which brought grades down. Lab is doable with a good group.
