Reviews of professor Nirakar Sahoo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Sahoo is a great professor who really wants the best out of his students, his classes were lecture heavy but fun to listen to. The lab portion was the best part as it gave students the opportunity to work hands-on with microscopes they could eventually use in their respective fields. Definitely would take him again for another course.

This class is a wonderful one in which you are going to exposed to multiple research articles and write like a small summary with your thoughts on it. Lectures are amazing and this class will definitely help you in getting a job as well. He is an understanding professor and give extra time to prepare yourself for the projects.

Dr. Sahoo is great. Fun & easy lectures. Short group presentation. Labs are best, we get to use different microscopes. Also, he teaches to create publication quality images: can't thank Dr. Sahoo enough for this. Exams are take home but not easy, should put some effort. GREAT PROFESSOR AND GREAT CLASS, MUST TAKE!

Great professor sincerely interested in the success of his students. The material, being identification of histological structures, is not easy, but Dr. Sahoo always gave great lectures with all the necessary information. Assignments were the same every week with no confusion and were easy to complete. The ideal lab with no hassle at all.

Great course. He is passionate, smart and funny. Should take course. Lab activities and making lab report are fun But:

-Exams are too hard: way too on a molecular level. Felt like cell bio
-Lectures were easy and exams didn't match the lecture
-Either level up the lectures or level down the exam 
-Again, I hated the exam. Everyone did!

Dr. Sahoos expertise and passion for microscopy truly showed in every lecture and laboratory session, which in turn made the class motivated to learn and excel in the course. If there were to be a Biological Microscopy II class, and Dr. Sahoo was teaching the course, I would not hesitate to enroll!

Professor Sahoo was such wonderful professor ! He truly cared for his students. He introduces the usage of Mindmaps to you and it is tedious but it really helps conceptualizing and to visualize the content heavy topics . He is lenient with emergencies or mishaps as long as you communicate with him. I highly recommend him!

Histology lecture (Dr. Farooqui) was difficult, but Dr. Sahoo made the lab so much more enjoyable and easy to understand. He seemed incredibly passionate while teaching the content that it would give me more interest for it as well. The assignments could be time consuming sometimes but they were incredibly helpful study tools. Great professor.
