Galyna is a brilliant teacher, she is very clear with instruction and helpful when she answers questions. Make sure you do your work and are ready for class when you come in. Everything she says in lecture is important, so you need to keep up. Definitely learned alot in her class!

She is insanely smart! She will call on you in class and expect you to know the answer. She is very good at responding to emails. And She hates cell phones do not take your phone out in class!!!

Probably the best professor I have ever had. She demands that you know what you're talking about when doing the group presentation and has an insane wealth of knowledge. She keeps her lectures very light and often makes funny comments. She kept me very interested during lectures. I attribute my grade to her teaching.

This class is actually kind of tough. You have to definitely pay attention and take good notes or else you won't pass the class. STUDY as much as you can and don't slack off. She's a great teacher, but also tough.

Prof. Kufryk is so great. The first time I had her, I was so intimidated and thought she was so mean. By the end of the semester, I loved her! She's just really different, but is so incredibly smart and passionate. Yes, she's quirky and smart, but take the opportunity to learn as much as you can from her! LOVED microbiology! Hang in there!!

She takes alittle getting used to. her style is very different and she expects alot. But you will walk away from her class knowning more than when you started. She is great and willing to help!

Many feel her humor is mean, but I think she is absolutely hilarious, and it is that humor that keeps the class interesting. Her tests are challenging, but so are every other professor. Overall, if you put the effort in and go to class regularly, as well as study, you will do great.

Honestly this professor is anazing. You'll get used to her accent and she is super smart. She's very willing to help you outside of class if you reach out. People saying that she's mean or she goes to fast are just sensitive children. This is a college class go study.

She's a tough teacher but if you know your stuff then she'll be a great person to learn from. Lots of people have had bad experiences with her because she is tough but if you can answer her questions knowledgeably then you'll have no problem. she has her favorites, and those are the people that can actually answer her questions correctly.

First thing is first, MICROBIOLOGY IS TOUGH. I was SO nervous about taking her because of the horrible things that are said about her. Let us get something straight, she is a college professor, not a pre-k teacher. She will not hold your hand or feed your the right answer. If I had her at 7 AM and thrived, you will too! Be respectful & work hard!!

Since the first class I realized that she is very smart and cares about her students. She is very passionate about microbiology and will try her best to get her students interested. She is accessible outside of class and gives great feedback. I go to her office hours after quizzes and exams and she helps me understand the questions I get wrong.

She is a great teacher but can be scary at times. She encourages you to go see her during her office hours to help with future exams and better understanding of the material. Her exams and quizzes can be tough so study hard!

I went to her office hours whenever I had any questions and she explained everything with clarity. The course covered a lot of material but by attending class and paying attention to what she emphasizes on you'll do fine on the test and quizzes. She's a sweetheart but don't expect to be given answers , it's a high level course so be ready to work.

She is a great teacher, and her office hours are key. Going in to check your tests will help you get the right answers (especially for exams), and if she recognizes your face (during presentations, particularly), you will get a better grade. Give her a bit of a chance even if you don't love her at first.

Professor Kufryk is a good teacher, she knows what she is talking about & wants every one of her students to succeed. Microbiology is a hard class, no matter what. Her lectures have a lot of material and she adds comments and tells you important key points to highlight which are helpful. She can be rough around the edges at first , but she warms up

Oh Professor Kufryk. She's an amazing person and really funny BUT I wouldn't recommend her for genetics if you have a choice. I don't think it's her teaching style but rather the way the whole class is structured. Basically if you don't get an A on the Genetics paper you won't get an A in the class. Exams and Quizzes are difficult to study for.

Professor Kufryk is a solid choice for micro lecture, but the class is hard no matter what. She has very VERY high expectations, but she is clear about what they are. If you don't show up or read the textbook, you won't pass. Take my advice: keep your phone away and prepare your CLC well. She is fine with calling you out in front of the whole class

Prof. Kufryk is an amazing lecturer. If you listen in class and do the Practice Questions provided you will do fine on tests. Kufryk cares but expects you to show that you care too. Ask questions and put away your phone! It is important to put in the work on the Genetics Paper as it is worth 25% of your grade (GCU policy not kufryk).

Kufryk may come across a little harsh, but it is only because she expects you to be putting in the necessary work. She is extremely knowledgeable and explains content well. Her tests can be tricky, but as long as you pay attention to her lecture and/or read the book you should do fine.

Dr. Kufryk is a great teacher. Her lectures are interesting and she cares about your success in the class, always making sure you understand the material. She is always nice and welcoming in her office hours and helps you as much as possible with questions. One of the best teachers at GCU!

Professor Kufryk is a great choice for Microbiology. Her lectures are good, but you still need to read the book and study a lot on your own. She can be a little intimidating, especially during the group presentation, but she grades very easy. The quizzes can be hard, but they are repeated on the exams, so make sure to look over the quizzes.

I had always heard bad things about professor Kufryk. I started out the semester with a negative attitude but stuck with her. She was a very good professor. She was always willing to help you outside of class and make time for you whenever worked for you. She knows the subject very well. She can come across as rude but is very caring.

Dr. Kufryk is hands down the best science professor I have ever had. She will tell you her undergrad stories that will help you associate concepts. She's accessible out of class too. Don't expect to be spoon-fed, though, and read before class starts. She can be intimidating at first but so funny and kind once you get better acquainted with her.

If you're taking micro then youre probs a /bio/med field major & these classes and info are not easy. Don't expect to have it easy if you want to be a doctor. She is kind, funny, caring, professional, realistic, and knows her stuff. Quizzes are hard & there are a lot, but she has office hours and is willing to help and give feedback on CLCs.

One of the best lecturers around, her classes are intense but if you put the effort and ask for help they are easy to succeed in. One of my all time favorite professors and she has made genetics and microbiology two of my favorite classes.

Dr. Kufryk made genetics so easy to understand. We never had to read the textbook for this class since all the material you needed for the exams were either on the slides or on the practice quizzes. As long as you do well on the term paper, youre practically guaranteed an A in the class. I cant wait to take her for Advanced Genetics this fall!

Kufryk was a fair grader, and she responds quickly outside of class. If there's a conflict for one of the mandatory Saturday sessions, there are ways to make them up without being docked points, but would not recommend. She's a stickler on the resume assignment. Just complete all the DQs and assignments on time and you'll be fine.

Dr. Kufryk was great. She is straightforward, but very kind. Do not expect to be a lazy student, which is where I think a lot of her negative reviews originated. She expects you to know your stuff. The content is not difficult and her presentations are clear. Use the study guides and know the history antidotes (gimme ?s), and you will pass, easily.

Loved Dr. Kufryk, she is very caring and teaches very well in a way in which accommodates everyone's different learning styles. Would definitely take her class again!

Honestly HON110 would be pretty easy with any professor I think, but Professor Kufryk was very understanding about late assignments and was an easy grader so I would definitely recommend her and would definitely consider taking her for a more academic class in the future as well.

I only attended two mandatory sessions with Professor Kufryk and enjoyed each as much as one can on a Sat. morning. She is an easy grader and simply wants the students to listen to her lecture, which is important material anyway. The class is pass/fail so its easy to do well.

She is a bit hard to understand but not terrible by any means, but she makes up for it by having solid lectures. I never found my self falling alseep but instead interested. All that you need to know is in her PowerPoints so studying is straight forward. She also is very quick at responding and will go through quizzes or exams with you.

Dr. Kufryk was a little rude to students and was sometimes condescending but overall was great. The class is pretty tough in general but she is great at lecturing. I think she is a great choice for this course but you do need to work for your grade.

Professor Kufryk was pretty intimidating at firs, but she is a really kind lady who loves chocolate! She is a great teacher and wants her students to do well. She gives sooo many resources to be successful. The class is not easy, but if you put in the effort and use the resources, you will do fine! She is really awesome.

Dr. Kufryk has an aggressive teaching style, but she only means well and she really wants her students to succeed. She doesn't like to waste time during the lectures, and she keeps people engaged. She will provide help if you come to her and ask for it. This class was difficult, but it gets better as it goes on.

I admire Dr. Kufryk so much. She doesn't sugarcoat things and so she can seem intimidating, but she does care for her students' success. She is not very personable, probably because she likes to focus her lectures on more relevant information, but throughout the semester she did open up a bit. I'd still highly recommend taking her whenever you can.

She was so knowledgable but I didn't really learn much.

Would 10/10 recommend having Professor Kufryk for HON-110 since every Monday when we had a class she would bring in a Professional from the career field to tell us about their experience in the career. She is a very easy grader and tends to have the grades posted almost immediately after you submitted the assignment.

Dr. Kufryk is such a sweetheart and wants you to be successful. She is a great lecturer and provides us with so many resources. The practice quizzes are very similar to what she tests on and is a great review. She is very helpful during office hours and she always made sure to help me understand the material. Definitely recommend taking her.

Dr. Kufryk is an amazing professor for genetics. Her lectures bring in a lot of insight and she talks about recent examples. She is always willing to reexplain concepts to you. She can be seen as a little cold, but deep down she is really kind and wants you to succeed in her class. Also, her expectations on the paper is very clear (get ahead).

Dr kufryk is amazing, she explains the content very well and goes very in depth, she is funny and her exams are not overly difficult.

Dr. Kufryk wants her students to be engaged in class and succeed. Go into her office hours early to get help on the paper. The earlier you go, the more help she will be. The paper is a large part of your grade, so it is very important to give it the attention it deserves. Overall, the exams and quizzes are difficult, so study hard and do the PQ's.

Dr.Kufryk was a great professor, one of the best I have had. I have never learned and mastered so much content in one course. If you are ready to put in the time to understand the content and study you will do well. Try to make a connection with her and visit her in office hours, as she cares and wants to help you in any way she can. Take her!

she loves men

Kufryk was an amazing professor. She had a great sense of humor too. I will say though that she could be very tough on the students. She is not afraid to call you out in front of the class. If you are not serious about school, you are going to have problems with this course. Biggest piece of advice, don't have your phone out.

Dr. Kufryk is an amazing professor. A lot of people say she can be strict or harsh but when you talk to her one-on-one, she's really caring. Her depth of knowledge comes across in her lectures and made difficult classes seem easy. Compared to other professors, she's not a tough grader at all. If you follow instructions, it is easy to get an A.

Very intelligent professor; shows incredible passion for the world of microbiology. Has great feedback, and has great insight to the topics. Lectures are not boring in my opinion and had me completely fascinated every time.

I often tried not to fall asleep, as class was boring. The class is short, and it only lasts for half the semester. Class is 0 credits, but you need a 70 to "pass". A big portion of the grade is your CLC project, as well as mandatory attendance. She has anger issues and gets mad when students don't participate or leave their backpacks on floor

Loved having Kufryk so much!! She truly made me love science again, she knows so much and is passionate about all that she teaches. Her class is not difficult if you're willing to do the study guides and take notes in class. She is so genuine and actually cares, she's hilarious, and her lectures are interesting and study guides actually help!

She was actually a really good professor; her accent wasn't bad at all or at least for me personally. She is more on the soft-spoken side so it can be hard to hear her, so you may want to sit up front. She does one group project but it's not that bad. For her quizzes and exams, you definitely need to study and be prepared, use the study guides.

Dr. Kufryk for HON-110 was a very good prof. A very quick 7-week course with good guest speakers to help you decide what career path or graduate school path you want to go down. The few assignments are not too hard and all you have to do is just put in the effort. She is very open to talking about your goals and dreams. Class is very quick as well.

She is very knowledgable, lecture heavy and attendance is mandatory. Her tests are pretty average when it comes to difficulty level.

Dr. Kufryk is such a great professor. She goes into depth and explains concepts very well. Although she can be intimidating and sometimes condescending when students ask questions, she is very knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations. Just know not to have your phone out before class starts because she will deduct participation points.

Dr. Kufryk is basically a pro in microbiology. Her tests are kind of hard (focus on the big picture if you want to do well) but her lectures are pretty informative. DON'T HAVE PHONE OUT. Book is not necessary, just memorize the main points of the powerpoints. VERY intimidating. Overall good and would def take again if you want to know micro well.

Dr. Kufryk is very test-heavy and lecture-heavy. Some of the lectures are hard to stay awake in, but overall, she is exceptionally knowledgeable about the material.

This is an easy course. You sit in class and listen to a bunch of professors give lectures on various topics. That being said, because there are almost no assignments in this course, participation matters. I got extremely sick and missed one class, and lost something like 70 points in participation. Don't have your phone out in class.

Dont be scared off by other ratings! Kufryk is intimidating at first, and strict on phones, but the woman is so knowledgeable and such an amazing professor. I was so engaged in her lectures, and she gives more than enough resources to be able to pass the quizzes and exams.The content of the class is easy, just pay attention in lecture!

Dr. Kufryk is an amazing professor, but an acquired taste. Her lecturing style and experience is unparalleled to anyone at GCU, she makes it both interesting to learn and tries to fill in stories and random facts to help make it easier to process. But she is very old-school, in-class callouts, no technology, mandatory activities, blunt grading.

Kufryk is extremely knowledgable and passionate about microbiology. She gives you all the resources and more you need to succeed. The biggest issue I had was when someone asked a question she would lecture them about not reading the text book instead on just answering their question. There is also a very strict no phone policy in her class.
