Comment:

I thought she was a little tough. I feel that she loses faith in those students that don't quite catch up with her curriculum and she teaches very fast. She agreed my suggestion to drop the course/ major because I didn't pass her test. I don't want to take her class again. Ever.

Comment:

At first Dr. Visviki intimidated me very much, but not anymore. She is willing to help you during office hours, which I recommend if you feel as if you are falling behind. You will only pass if you really put in the effort. She's very friendly and it is obvious she has a love for Biology and loves what she does.

Comment:

My peer's who have had her before always told me she was strict and mean. However, it is quite the contrary. She is BRILLIANT and clearly has a love for biology as it is conveyed in her teaching. She has more of a "tough love" teaching style which is why I think students are under the impression she is mean. I can't wait to take her again !

She's a great professor. She really likes to engage with her students and she makes sure everyone understands the lesson EACH class. She takes her time explaining things, and she can come up with plenty of examples that help students better understand the lesson. Her tests are straightforward if you pay attention and take sufficient notes.

She's a good teacher, it's a bit hard to understand her with her accent but if you listen really closely it wont be too hard. She seems a bit harsh but she's nice. Her tests are tough and the class is kinda hard. You have to study and come to class to pass.

Dr. Visviki is an amazing professor. She is a really though grader but as long as you study and participate in classes it shouldn't be a problem. Dr. Visviki likes when students visit during office hours as it gives her a chance to point out improvements that might be needed and great advice on problem areas.

Comment:

She's an amazing professor for Anatomy and Physiology!!!!!! Very clear!!! And she makes sure that her students understand what she's teaching. She gives oral quizzes before class (not graded though) to ensure that you're clear on what she taught in the last class. If you study for her tests , you will pass.

Comment:

Great person, very nice and extremely knowledgeable, however, she does not get the information she wants you to know in a clear way. Tests are absolutely ridiculous, and do not pertain to her lectures at all. Extremely inconsiderate of students outside the classroom, her class is all that matters. In class answers questions. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Comment:

An amazing professor! I have never been more fascinated about biology than after taking her class. Dr. Visviki is clear and to the point - either you know it or you don't. Take good notes on the powerpoint slides, do extra credit assignments, and read the textbook before class and you will be in very good shape!

Dr.Visviki was a good professor, all you have to do is print out the powerpoints and write your notes on there. Her tests were fair, and her study sheets were good as well.

Comment:

She knows everything there is to know about Biology and in my case Anatomy and Physiology. My class was HARD but I passed with a good grade. You HAVE TO STUDY otherwise you WILL FAIL. She teaches you what you need to know in class and leaves the rest up to you, she doesn't care if you fail. She did her job. She is a bit intimidating but Great PROF!

Comment:

Prof Visviki is a good all around Professor. She cares about the student but it IS completely on you to understand the information. She talks to you as if you already have a background on biology and know a lot about it. She does have a slight accent as well. her class was somewhat difficult. Her class is passable however.

Comment:

Too cold. Needs to give extra credit because every student has there own way of learning. She does not give you a chance to work harder if you need to. If you need extra credit when youre trying your hardest, you should be able to work something out with her.

VERY helpful and easy teacher. Her Powerpoints are clear and accessible online at home to study. You dont really need a notebook, just her powerpoints printed out for class. Pay attention and take notes. Gives a study guide for exams to help concentrate whats needed for the exam. Would recommend

Do not listen to previous reviews, Dr. Visviki is a great professor! She knows everything there is to know about Biology. She wants you to do well, but you have to know the material. You also need to keep up with the class. It goes by very fast so you need to stay on top of your work. If you study, read the text, and do the work, you will pass.
