Comment:

Laboratory sessions are quite disorganized and his instructions rely a lot on improvisation. Even the teaching assistants are unclear as to what Igor wants, and his grading criteria defies common sense.

Quite a scary man on initial introduction, but is a nice guy when you ask for help. goes through concepts used in labs thoroughly. has a tendency to be mysterious as he doesnt speak much when not teaching, reminds you of an old soviet nuclear scientist . cool guy tbh

Comment:

Dr. Ivanovic is intimidating with your first year with him, found that out during PHYS 1001/1002. Although, he grows on you as a lab coordinator. IF you pay attention to what he say's he's hilarious, and tends to be very nice if you supply effort.

As a lab coordinator you need to understand how to get through his labs. Sit in the front and you may be the one lucky group he jsut outright does the lab for

Not helpful in the lab. I'm sure he's great at his research, and it would be better for everyone if he continued to focus on that instead.

He is kind of intimidating, but nice when you talk to him. However, the lab talks are very confusing not clear and if your not right beside him you can't hear anything! Labs are so unorganized and so hard to understand what to do exactly.

Comment:

What a mess! I had Igor for the lab component of PHYS 1004. As a larger, Eastern European man with a beard and tweed jacket, you'd think he'd be bold and empowering. Rather, Igor's contribution consists of mini, uninformative pre-lab talks that nobody can hear. I have, however, heard promising things about his office hours. Whatever that means...

Very good professor. If in large lecture hall, sit closer to the front of the class to hear him clearly, not back of lecture room. Easily approachable (office hours).

Nice, intelligent, can be a little scary (depending on the situation). The mix made him a cult figure for a couple of us. It can be hard to understand him and he seldom repeats.

Comment:

really really slow. takes forever to explain stuff and you are always left more confused than before. also expects you to hurry and be done really fast because he takes at least 30 minutes to explain the simplest of labs.

Comment:

Igor is a boss. Accent slightly thick, but you get used to it. I think he tries to scare away people in the first couple lectures. Don't be fooled, stay and learn. He knows his stuff really well. He'll explain a lot you don't need to know, so don't get too intimidated. It's easier than it looks. Talk to him sometime, he's a nice guy, total boss.

No need to even explain why he is a very undesirable teacher, previous comments say it all. I only had him for a lab co-ordinator and it made that class terrible.

Comment:

Time to finish my rant from my 1003 rating, yes I had him twice first year. The online quizes he gives are way to hard, the TAs couldn't solve some of the problems and for whatever reason we found that a lot of the answers were multiplied by 2 of what they should be. He never did examples, just really hard derivations that didnt make sense.

Comment:

Worst prefessor ever. He picked on me and my friend all year for no reason when we were about 2 of 20 student still attending his class. He loves integration even though for most of 1003 you don't know how to integrate and he was told this multiple times. Mumbles, doesnt make sense, no help to students, I could go on & on but there is a work lim
