Reviews of professor Victor Protsak

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were fast and handwriting was sometimes hard to read. He had a few brain breaks so you do not get overwhelmed by information. He also stops frequently for questions, so clarifications can be made if necessary. He was optimistic when coming to answer questions. Also, he offers a lot of resources on Blackboard to use for your benefit.

Was so lost and confused this entire class. In his lectures, he only really does examples, he does not explain much of the basics that you need to solve a problem. A few myLab homework assignments and one quiz a week.Overall, very vague and this class requires you to do a lot of teaching yourself the material.

Would not recommend. His handwriting is abhorrent and students have to ask multiple times during lectures to clarify what he writes. Attendance is taken using an app which people (not me personally) have had trouble with. He also keeps lecturing 5 minutes after the class period ends. Sometimes he's funny, which saves him from getting a score of 1.

His hand writing is bad and he teaches fast, makes it hard to follow lecture.

Protsak is a very nice professor, but you will see the same complaints across all comments. His hand writing is very poor which makes it difficult to follow, he gets off topic a lot and only does 2-3 example problems in lecture. Discussion is very important because that is where you will get most of your learning done.

This professor has uploaded several homeworks late. Instead of doing the common sense thing, i.e. giving us an extension due to his incompetence, he still makes it due on Thursday. Today is tuesday at 3PM. HE JUST UPLOADED THE HOMEWORK AND IT IS STILL DUE ON THURSDAY.

During lectures he talks fast, writes fast and messily it is difficult to keep up. He also often goes 5 minutes past class end. Homework is fine though, along with quizzes, which helps us prepare for the exams.

He goes off topic and always wastes a lot of time at the beginning of class. As a result, he's always at least a few minutes late to finish class. His lectures are hard to understand and his handwriting is very messy. The class is difficult, but if you put in enough work, you can get an A. It moves fast though, especially at the end.

This professor: starts new examples 4 minutes before class ends that go past the end of class, has unreadable handwriting, gives very time-consuming and labor-intensive written homework.

Let's you use 3, 8" x 11", note sheets front and back on exams. First midterm average was 66% even with these note sheets. This should tell you a lot.
