Comment:

Dragana is not the most enthusiastic prof but she teaches you exactly what you need to know for the midterm and the exam. When she says to do the study questions, DO THE STUDY QUESTIONS! The exams are either the exact questions or very similar so it makes studying so much less stressful than it seems like it will be

Comment:

First year, youll think she is strict but by upper years you will realise she is one of the few souls at this university that genuinely care about you, your education and well being. Extremely caring, just be responsible for your actions. You cant be playing victim around her, she sees right through it. Extremely brilliant prof!

Didn't show up to 90% of the classes and got 100% in the course. Do the study questions and practice final.

Comment:

She is a good professor and her slides include everything you need to know. The only thing I didn't like is that she needs to take a breather. She repeats the same thing over and over again so she talks non stop for the whole lecture, which kind of stressed me out. However, she is a good and quite funny prof.

Comment:

Great professor. Assigned study questions, which were optional and weren't handed in for grade, but made up 80-90% of the midterm and exam. Focus was on learning the material and not on tedious small assignments (of which there were none). Shows up-to-date research on embryology. Great prof, great class.

Comment:

You either love or hate Dr. Miskovic. I happen to love her. Kind-hearted, beyond intelligent, funny, and basically gives you the questions on her tests. She needs to see that you're making an effort (in which case she is VERY helpful) and will not just give you answers on a plate. VERY content-heavy, this is NOT a course you can fall behind on.

Such a caring person. My favourite prof so far. You gotta look past her superficial details. Some people think she's harsh and cold but deep down she is a very caring and warm person.

Comment:

Took this course in Fall 2014 and by far the best and most useful BIOL course I've taken. She's changed it up and while the content is heavy its quite interesting for molecular biology. A must-have BIOL that has all the essentials for you to ace it (ie. bonus marks, sample questions, no textbook needed, etc).

Extremely rude to students. Replies to emails like a week later. Doesn't care about the course, the entire course was handled by the TAs.

For all those saying she is horrible, obviously you were not working during the course. She practically gives you the questions before, helps you if you drop by with questions, and is the sweetest. Did all the study questions and went for help. 90+ overall and perfect final exam! Don't take the course if you whine about profs and are lazy yourself!

She is a wonderful lady!! Great resource for course / material and future avenue advice as well. She helped me understand the basic science as well as serve as a critical reference to help get me into med school. I really appreciate everything she has done for me!!

Extremely rude person. Her class isn't too bad since she gives you so many options to do well. But seriously, not really a nice teacher to approach; extremely condescending.

Possibly the best prof I've ever had. Really helpful, caring, rewards hard working students. Gives you an optional 90% exam if you did poorly on the midterm. She's just a really great person overall.

Comment:

Was useless as a prof, this course was maddening to take. Molecular Biology has potential to be interesting, until you talk in a monotone voice with a heavy accent the WHOLE time, seriously question why she is even in teaching, doesn't seem to care at all. Exams were horribly written, not extremely hard, but didn't fairly assess material covered

The best prof in all of Waterloo! Very helpful and caring! The course itself is very challenging but she's an amazing professor and makes the course very manageable. If you put the work into any of her courses you will end up with 80+ for sure!!!

Great Prof! Gives you student questions that covers all the content on the tests. Bonus questions on the tests and a 5% clicker bonus. She honestly does her best to have her students get good grades. Fair grading. If you understand all the study questions you can easily get 90+ in the course, no joke.
