Comment:

Thank you for two wonderful classes. Teacher was very helpful out of class. Am sad she is leaving, I would have taken another one of her classes. It was fast and tough at times but was do able. One of the best teachers I have had, though her wording on things could be a bit confusing at time, thats life. Also +1 hotness. :)

Comment:

Sajdak is a nice enough woman, but I found her class completely uninteresting. Her lectures often take on a whining chiding tone and the class isn't handled very professionally or objectively. Textbooks were rarely used. The lab manual was a nightmare- poorly written and hard to follow. Overall, this class was not taught to its potential.

Comment:

Not sure why I'm leaving this b/c she is retiring but I have to give her good marks. I really liked her class. The third test was very tough. She also likes evolution; a lot. I think she enjoyed teaching her classes and liked the material covered. Taxonomy lectures were a bit boring and tedious but it is survivable. In the end I thought she rocked.

To get a grade you deserve on one of her tests is to defy her.

Comment:

Worst professor I've had so far at UR. She is utterly boring and unclear. Her powerpoints are unorganized, and are pathetic compared to Olek. Her tests are very subjective, and you get points based on specific words she is looking for. You could write a paragraph but it'll get you 2/5 points if you don't put in the word shes looking for.

Comment:

Sajdak does not have a good grasp of the English language.Her tests and workshop questions are very badly worded,and even if you understand the concepts,it is difficult to know what she is asking.Her powerpoint slides are also somewhat unclear.She seems nice in lecture,but is not very considerate to students during her office hours.

Comment:

She is a huge B****. She makes tests very difficult just to spite kids for not doing well, which doesn't make sense. I started the class neutral to her, and ended hating her. Bio 111 is part of the pre-med requirements, which is the only reason i took the class. Lecture is pointless, I fall asleep almost every time. BAD PROFESSOR

Comment:

This class is very dry and the powerpoint slides are often a mess. Legend has it that she used to be a Kindergarten teacher, so that would explain her occasional holier-than-thou attitude. However, one-on-one she is extremely helpful and approchable. Bonus points for her husband being a Steve Irwin type figure.

The challenge of an exam is in figuring out what she's asking instead of understanding the material. She's a nice lady though - she just can't write anything. (too bad for us she wrote the lab manual!)

Loved Sajdak. Her slides are very easy to follow. Try to write what you can in class then take the time each night to review the slides. If you study and stay on top of the lectures, you'll do fine. Would have Sajdak again.
