Reviews of professor Oliver Ljustina

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved Professor Ljustina! It's obvious he cares about students, he encourages students to meet with him during office hours if help is needed. Lecture heavy and lots of material to learn, but tests are word for word from his powerpoint. He gives bonus points before every test, there are 5 tests (one being the final). Lowest grade gets dropped.

Mr. Ljustina is very funny and entertaining. He is a good person to talk to and he gets you engaged in his class. But his lectures can be a little boring at times. Also, you have to make flashcards, and read the textbook and his ppt for hours on end, just to pass his class. Lastly, if you are not a good test taker, then this class isn't for you.

Mr. Ljustina was a great professor and his lectures were enjoyable. Attendance wasn't necessarily mandatory but the lectures followed a fill in the blank powerpoint that was not posted in full online. There were 4 exams and a final, in which he offered extra credit opportunities the class before the exam. I would take his class again :)

Mr. Ljustina is a great professor. The quizlets I made directly from his lectures/powerpoints have scored me high A's on every exam. I enjoy not having to worry about homework and put my time and effort studying for the exams. I have found such a better understanding and appreciation for Biology from his course.

He was a great professor and very easy. I made over 100s on every test just by memorizing notecards directly from the ppt. He drops your lowest test score (which means you can drop your final if that is considered your lowest exam and you do not have to take it!) and gives SO MUCH extra credit. Just study and you will be fine.
