Reviews of professor Nick Strzalkowski

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Nick is a nice guy and is obsessed with space. He is a ridiculously tough marker for a GNED class. He thinks he is a legit biology professor. His delivery is boring and too much information. The midterms are very hard for no reason. Yes physiology is tough in general, but the prereq for this class IS A GNED and a business major could take this...

One of my favourite profs for sure! He provided many opportunities to practice questions in class and was always eager to help. Highly highly recommend.

As a person, Nick is a nice professor, but for this course PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NOT TAKE IT WITH HIM, he makes the online classes way harder than they are supposed to be almost like he wants you to fail rather than pass and get a good grade. He says the exams are open book but starts deducting marks if you use your notes.

As a science major taking this course, I wouldnt recommend it to a non-science/science major because the prerequisite is very misleading. His tests are hard & youre going to have to dedicate A LOT more time studying since all his slides are testable. Also on tests, he isnt clear on how much he wants you to write so you might not get full marks.

Nick is very passionate about this course, but it seemed like we spent a lot of time on non-biology subjects (Space). I think the exams are quite fair and if you attend classes, participate and review, you will do well. He even modified the exam format to make it easier. A large part of your grade is the group project which could be overwhelming.

Nick was great for this course. He's very tech-savvy and provides excellent pre-recorded lectures. The group project is not bad if you start early on and get a good group. His tests are a bit tricky but if you study the slides well and understand the physiology rather than memorizing it then you will do fine.

DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR THIS CLASS. Go for any other prof than him. He is nice as a person but not the best prof for this class. Don't go based on this rating, it's very misleading. He made the online classes harder, basically, you have to learn the whole course by yourself.

I had Nick for GNED 1101, and he was a good (younger) prof. The only complaint I had about him was that he sometimes made some of the concepts more confusing than they needed to be. He was clearly in to teaching, and has a passion, often cracking jokes, and being a generally nice guy to be taught by.

Nick was by far my favorite prof I had this semester! He made the class enjoyable to be in, which was great with it being my first semester of uni. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! You'll need two textbooks, but one of them he provides online for you. If you do the homework this class is an easy A!
