Reviews of professor Nirakar Sahoo

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a little hard to understand during his lectures but he is a nice guy. Lots of homework and his quizzes/exams aren't always what was shown in the lecture. An A is possible, you just have to memorize what magnified parts of the body look like. Every part that is.

Took Professor Sahoo this summer for A&P after doing pretty bad in the spring due to health issues and absolutely loved his class! His lectures and powerpoints are extremely helpful so you should do well as long as you study the material he provides. He was also very understanding and helped us out as much as possible. I definitely recommend!

Difficulty increases if you complete assignments/tests until the end. These assignments/tests require time. The tests also require a creative standpoint to determine how you would apply this knowledge in real life scenarios. Manage your time wisely and reach out for clarifications. Dr. Sahoo will answer any questions fairly quick via email.

Adv. microscopy is highly applicable to research! The goal is to learn how to create publication quality images. Together lab and lecture have several group presentations, weekly discussions, one lab report, and two exams. You learn a lot! He is very available and willing to answer questions. ANYONE can get an A if you do the work.

Amazing professor! He's very caring and he has a passion to teach. His Histology Laboratory work can be a little time consuming but it is nothing hard and every lab is helpful for the midterm and final exam. I highly recommend Dr. Sahoo and I would definitely take another course with him.

One of my favorite courses I have taken thus far! Dr. Sahoo is very passionate and drives his students to success. The exams are the most difficult part of this course so do not procrastinate and think you can finish them in a day or two because you will not.
