Prof. Pavic is incredibly smart. So smart that she cannot explain anything on a level I understand, adding in her accent, it's an extremely difficult class that shouldn't be. She is a nice, funny lady, but don't take her class unless you're a genius too.

I've never heard a professor tell a student "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" until I met this professor.

I don't really care that she has an accent, but she cannot put sentences together properly to where anyone understands what she's saying. She uses the words "you know this" a lot. Poor instruction. Exams are way advanced than what was lectured on and hardly anything from the book was on it. Really wish I hadn't taken this class in the first place.

Not a good teacher. If you're brave enough to ask a question be prepared for it not to be answered and to feel like you are a bug that she just stepped on. She will make you feel like an idiot in front of the whole class,then say she doesn't understand what you're asking. I've never taken a class that started w 30 and had less than 10 by drop date.

Not helpful and will fail with no hesitation. If you ask a question she makes you feel stupid. I did all homework and extra credit and she still failed me. Hard to understand her because of her thick accent.

she is the worst professor i could possibly imagine, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

I definitely don't recommend taking her class. I was completely lost the entire time I was in there. She really does make you feel stupid for asking questions. I took the class this semester with a different professor and it was so much better. I thought I would never understand physics after last semester, but I actually ended up with an A.

Rudest teacher I've EVER had. Said there's no stupid questions, acted like we were dumb because of what she thought was simple and then wondered why halfway through the semester, people stopped answering questions when she asked them. This is college, no need to look down and treat us like elementary school kids. Do not take this class.

Treats students like the my are fools for not understanding things and has no respect for anyone. Explains things poorly and blames her mistakes on her students or the school. I've never had a worse professor in all of my schooling career. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!

She is too smart for an entry level class. I would've gotten a better grade if it werent for how detailed she was. One tiny thing wrong and you get the whole answer wrong and she write snarky comments such as "wow" and "good job" if you get it wrong. She as well will not tolerate you using the bathroom so don't try that one.

She is the hardest teacher I've ever had, She demands a lot from you and the tests are very difficult and she cut a lot point from your test also She teaches very fast and doesn't explain things very well.

Worst professor I ever had

If you can avoid taking her class, I would. Physics is not supposed to be easy but this teacher makes it purposely difficult. I dropped the class and enrolled with a different teacher and made an A. Its like she purposely wants you to fail.

She mumbles and you can not understand her half the time. She is not engaging and she scoffs if you get an answer wrong. Overall, this teacher made me not want to come to class. Classmates discussed how we weren't being benefitted at all AFTER half the class dropped. Struggling to get a decent grade.

pavic is by far the worst professor i have ever dealt with. she WITHHELD GRADES during the ENTIRE semester. her lectures make little to no sense and she constantly goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with the specified topic. never knew what she went over last period. overall a terrible professor. if you want to learn, take someone else.

Like stated by someone else, this was her first online class but it was incredibly hard! Way too much due at a time. Videos were helpful but I was unable to watch her long videos and read all her lectures if I wanted to get the homework done on time. She is also very rude! Not helpful at all! 1 week in and I cried 4 times because I was overwhelmed.

I took Physics 1 online for one week and had to drop. I will give her the benefit of the doubt, this was her first online class, but there was entirely too much homework, like three assignments due almost every night, and little to no lectures/teaching. She was also an extremely tough grader too. Don't take her if you have a choice.

I am currently taking Pavic's class for the summer. She's a terrible professor and is very rude! She's a tough grader & gives a lot of homework. You will need to spend 10+ hours on Cengage. There is no lectures/some of her videos has very low quality. I'm fine with doing homework, but she needs to know that students have work/personal lives too.

This lady is horrible. Her online class was terrible very very unclear instructions and felt like I was doing a scavenger hunt for 8 weeks trying to find all the HW and assignments that were due posted in many different locations. Should of had 8 hours of lecture each week and we got roughly 45 min of bad video quality lectures. She's awful.

Save your grade. Do not take her classes

Took her online during the Pandemic and she was very vague in every way. Overall grades for the class were very very low, if she did mandatory zoom classes every day i feel like more people would have gotten A's. All of her quizzes and exams were pulled from some random physics book. Id recommend her in person and not online if possible.

The reality is that I simply can't explain how horrible this course is in just 350 characters. The subject matter isn't impossible. But Pavic does everything in her power to make it feel that way. 3 Assignments a night. You will not have time to grasp the concepts. It's not just her fault; OCCC should NOT have made this an 8-week course. Period.

DONT RECOMMENDED TAKING AT OCCC AT ALL BUT IF YOU DO DONT TAKE IT WITH HER.

I was unfortunate enough to take this class while it was 100% online due to covid and it was absolutely brutal. She provides about 2 hours of lecture time that cover absolutely nothing in the homework. Homework was done online through Pearson and we had about 2-3 assignments a week. Plan to spend about 8 hours on each assignment.

literally worst prof at occc but no other option until phys 2

Doesnt teach the class just assigns homework. Cant see anything on screen either because of her poor camera. Nothing is being learned from her in this class, its all up to you.

To pass her class you need to get a 60% of her criteria. Even if you were like me who got a 59.89% and was missing .11%; you don't pass. Oral exams aren't written in class schedule, so no way of preparing a week ahead. All class materials in Moodle only stay open for 3 days then close. Material of focus was not clear. Proper graph paper was needed?

If you have the opportunity to take this course somewhere else, totally take that chance. However, if you enjoy having no life outside of school, enjoy spending 10 hours a day doing homework, and cry at least twice a night, then this is the professor to take. The class was very heavy on the workload and she was brutal grading labs.

I took this class completely online in an eight week setting because of Covid 19. Her video lectures are entirely unhelpful and you are expected to learn everything by yourself. When speaking to her over zoom calls, her remarks are offensive and degrading if you do not tell her the correct answer. Find any other option if you are going to take this

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR DO NOT TAKE HER! She is not fair when it comes to the grading policy. I notice that she will give 0.00% on assignments even when I took the time and did the assignments. As a matter of fact, she even changed the scheduled time for our final exams last minute. RUN !!!!!!

Took her for an online physics course. She grades terribly, and talks really slow. She held optional meetings to review problems and it would take 3 hours to get through a problem. Take Someone else!

She should not be teaching this class online. OCCC should provide their students with a professor who will give them the opportunity to pass. Her lecture videos are all over the place. Pavic teaches material from the perspective of someone you already understands the content. The department needs to remove her ASAP and OCCC should be ashamed! RUN!!

Word of advice, DO NOT take this class if she is the professor. Contemplating taking at another university and paying a higher rate just to have a chance of passing and learning the material from a professor who understands that these are students not professionals. YouTube will be more helpful with understanding the assignments. Which is sad...

She seems like a nice woman but is terrible at grading especially. I am an A student and ended with an F in this class. I had a high C in the moodle portion (graded by moodle) which I accepted because physics is hard. But she grades labs, gave me all Fs, which gave me an F in the whole class. Do not take this class if you care about your gpa.

Taking this class with professor Pavic is a waste of time. You will not retain anything because assignments are due back to back. You have 3 weeks to complete 3 chapters, 2 quizzes and a 2 part exam. Not to mention the 2nd part of every exam is 15 minutes with 20 plus questions every time. Lastly the way she grades labs is atrocious. TAKE ELSEWHERE

Online only provides recorded lectures that are too blurry to read. She has a very specific way she wants problems solved and you will not receive any credit unless you use her methods that are covered in the (blurry and illegible) recorded lectures. You will find yourself failing despite solving the problem correctly using a different method.

Pavic is too smart for her own good. I was told that if you do one thing incorrectly, the entire problem would be wrong because "in the world of physics this wouldn't be possible without that" even if we got everything else correct. Ok, so now we are not grading students on what they do know and faulting them for what they don't know? Ridiculous.

Just run! She not worth giving a try. Enroll in physics at rose state or OSU-OKC. Do not waist your money or risk your gpa with this woman and this class. She does not teach it but grades ridiculously hard.

Couldn't understand what she said, when I would ask her how to do something for the first time she wouldn't explain instead she would say she has already shown me or it was in a textbook.

Worst professor ever, doesn't grade assignment on time. Doesn't help you because she's busy all the time. Do not take this class with her if you want to take Physical science. Her grading methods are slow and she loses your homework and gives you a zero.

She has ridiculously tough grading standards while providing little to no feedback. Really hard to communicate with and rarely returns email.

She knows what she's talking about, but she is incredibly difficult to understand. She also tends to make things much harder than they need to be.

Avoid this professor at all costs. She is cold and does not know how to connect with students. I believe not even one person passed that class with an A. She lectures very hard, and I could not understand what she would say sometimes, I barely passed the class.

Very hard grader. She is a good person but she is better off not teaching at all. When I had her for my PHY-1114 class she would go on tangents that would stray away from the topic. She would also lose track of time or get there late.

If you have a learning disability, find someone else. The many hours of homework made it impossible for me to understand the material. I was in the class for a month, and she never provide feedback on my work. Currently I'm recovering from this terrible class experience.

Not meant to be a teacher. The class was taught as we were children rather than students. From day one the desire to learn physics quickly dies. She focuses more on useless rules than actually teaching. By far the worst teacher I experienced at this school.

Terrible professor, harsh final, avoid at all costs. Likes trick questions and doesn't curve, incredibly low pass rate

Only attempt this class if you already know all the material, You will recieve zeros and the feed back will just be a giant red question mark by your work. I seen the reviews before attempting the class, i knew it was going to be tough, and it was alot tougher than i expected. Very tough grader, very strict, very high ego.

If you do not know any physics be prepared to fail this class. Knowing the material is one thing but if you don't write the work exactly how she presents it in class then no credit. If you to go to office hours for help she may just call you dumb. Have a thick skin and be prepared for loads of super difficult work and very harsh grades. Good Luck!

I never wore my seatbelt while driving to OCCC to get to her class because I hoped that a semi truck would struck me before I got to her class again.

I wanted to die every second I was in her classroom. She is an actual menace to society. Do not take her class unless you want to be clinically depressed for the next 16 weeks. I would recommend quitting your job, cutting off all social activity, and never doing anything but eat, sleep, and study if you want even a slight chance to pass.

When I first started this class I was in a great place mentally. By the end of it all I wanted was for it to be over so I never had to come back. She is extremely test heavy and we were all scared to go up and ask her questions about anything, because she would make you feel like you were dumb for even asking. I barely passed the class, thank God.

She is easily the worst professor I've had, I wouldn't recommend taking her course at all. Your better off taking it at a different college and paying more.

She graded very hard on Exams, and her accent is very heavy so be aware.

Trust the reviews.

Don't take this class if you enjoy having good mental health.

Worst professor I have ever had. Everyone was scared to ask questions and if you did one thing wrong she would kick you out of the class.

don't do it

Do NOT take this class with Pavic! She is a very hard grader, and exams are with 60% of your grade. She has a slight accent that makes it hard to understand her at times. She doesn't tell why your answer is wrong on exams, quizzes, homework, she just leaves questions marks on your paper.

She crams 6 tests plus a final into one semester (and grades them very harshly). She will be very vague about when things are due, but strict when you miss a due date. Her accent is also very heavy and makes it so hard to understand her. I went to tutoring 3 times a week every week, and still barely passed. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE WITH HER.
