He knows his stuff but as a professor he sucks. Really boring and his exam questions too vague. His questions preety much ask you to describe so and so. Which could mean writing down the whole lecture and then he takes points off if you miss out one little thing. Doesnt speak or write english very well. Dont take him.

He does not follow the curriculum.He will read slides to you,tell you that an exam is multiple choice and then give essays instead.Please be warned,he will not practice what he preaches and will fail you at the drop of a dime.I have a 4.0 GPA and EVEN I don't like him.No email, phone number or office hours.Half the class failed.D+ average

he is honestly the worst professor i have ever come across in my 16 years of schooling. horrible. im not trying to convince anyone, but the fact is you should really stay clear of him if you can. ur more likely to fail than pass.

This may be the worst professor at Queens college. Although I passed, I felt he did it just so that he would fulfill a quota. Why? EVERYONE failed the midterm. He threatens students too! I'm not bad mouthing him, see for yourself! Anyone agree? Please post!

He is very deceptive. Please be careful. You will not get the grade you deserve or studied for.

He is a very smart professor but doesn't help you. You can know the info cold but at the time of the test you have to mention every detail in the essay in order to get a good grade in the class and tat doesnt always work. dont take his class.

Horrible professor, extremely rude, doesnt make time for his students. His exams are ridiculous. Essays are okay for anatomy (i got an A in that class) but for microbio?? gimme a break. how the hell are you supposed to differentiate in essay form the different microbes? its ridiculous. and completely useless. i love biology, but i hated this class

He is very difficult, and unwilling to comprimise his teaching methods,which are awful.his expectation of a full time student taking other classes is immpossible.. maybe if i were taking only his class and had no life.....

Took in the summer;required for FNES. U must look at his mouth to understand him.Knowledgable but no help Some people only studied slides and able to get passing grades which might have worked out better for me.He gives NO OUTLINE!But sometimes gave?4quizes in lect.If were not for high 80's in Lab; might have failed.lab prof.Edlira,she's the best!

This is the Worst Professor I had on my life. He dosen't responde to emails.

STAYYYY AWAYYYYY!!!! He's the worst! I'm warning you

two exams. He wants you to memorize every protein, function, cycle, epidemiology, pathogenesis, manifestations, and more for 15 different viruses and then write essays on four randomly picked from the 15 for the midterm and final. He doesn't want to teach and tells students not to contact him from day one.

this prof. is the worse prof. ever.

The worst professor in the QC bio department. He thinks that we're going to med school or bio majors. This class is nothing more than a good for nothing requirement for the college. I took this class in summer 2012. It's in only F in my transcript. NEVER TAKE HIM unless that you want to work extra hard, and probably fail because he helps no one.

every exam consists of essay questions. He grades them tough. He doesn't tell u what he expects before the exam. After he gives exams back, he tells how he graded them, which is not helpful. The lab is taking a whole different class. Total5 exams (2 lab & 3 lec) & 1 presentation. He will stop u in every sentence of ur presentation & ask questions.

If you are doing pre-health major, don't bother to take him and ruin your GPA. This class is unclear and expects a lot from you. If he does not like you, he will not give you good grade for the essay.

I made the mistake of taking him without regarding his reviews. I regret my whole college career now. He makes the content way harder then it has to be and sets all students up for failure. He also will not help you during office hours. He screams a lot at the students when we ask even the most neccesary questions. Do yourself a favor and r u n

Disorganized slides makes changes while lecturing. no effort to motivate students cant handle people being late. why know all the info when you cant even teach it to students?

He has to be one of the worst professors at Queens College. He is very condescending, arrogant, and intimidating. He grades lab exams by basically attempting to find any minuscule error to lower your grade anyway possible. If you spell one word a letter off on a lab exam, he will mark the whole answer wrong. I wish I can give him a 0 on this.

He is one of well known hardest professor in QC. In Bio 366(immunity), he speaks very fast, and the material is very new for most of the student. So, it is not easy to make notes and catch him immediately. His PPT is not from only the chapter he list in syllabus. Exam are essay questions, 50 pts each. no choice make mistake.

Hes not very nice, he screams a lot and seems to enjoy intimidating people and being above them. His exams dont really follow his lectures and he makes the subject harder than it is. No chance you can take this class and work, lab teach was cool but I felt like I wasnt really learning, just craming for the sake of a good grade. Dont take him.

Of all my years of college, he's one of the worst professors I've ever had. He's very difficult in grading for summer Anatomy and Physiology I, and his exams are extremely difficult. He is also very intimidating and unapproachable, which makes it even more difficult to seek out help. Be prepared to spend all your free time studying for this course.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS, He is rude, not helpful and only sees things 1 way

This man can set you up for failure. Very rude. His exams dont match the common format of a normal AP class. Getting an A is impossible. He is unfair and not understanding. Believes students only want to cheat so he creates an exam full of medical diagnosis questions for an exam.

Avoid as much as you can. Inconsiderate and makes questions that is impossible to answer within the limited time. Worst professor I have ever known.

DO NOT take A&P1 with this professor. He is extremely RUDE and GHETTO and he screams at you for even asking the most simplest questions. His exams are difficult and he takes off points even if you are one letter off. I took his course because it was only 4 weeks but big mistake! Just take that 6-8 wk summer class. Listen to the reviews. AVOID!

Professor Vesanen is very rude and disrespectful. He doesn't care about his students and he's a hard grader. He makes being a bio major harder than it is as he teaches most of the upper 300 level bio classes. E permit your classes if you can. RUN!!

Extremely rude. I understand he wants to scare us into working/studying harder but the way the professor comes off is intimidating. The workload is so bad you really can't focus on any other class. TAKE THIS CLASS BY ITS SELF if you really wanna do well. Honestly dont stress urself tho, go epermit it bc only this professor teaches it. Save ur GPA!!

This consists of 3 lab exams and 3 lecture exams including the finals. His lab exams very consisted of over 200 questions and memorization is key. This class is one you take if you are not taking other classes bc it'll stress you out so much, I cried everyday bc of this class. It's stressful, so take if you are prepared for his attitude too.

The rudest guy ever. He seems like he is upset at his whole life. I would say a lot more but im stopping myself. Just try to avoid him

I'm extremely disappointed with this school and this professor. Mika is outright rude and disrespectful and offers no guidance whatsoever to ensure that you are successful in the course. Although I do love the content, his hostile demeanor made it difficult to focus or retain any information. Avoid this professor and school!!!

Doesn't even know anatomy, claimed encephalitis was "infection" of the brain. I got it on recording and sent it to the Dean, and they tried to downplay it. Graduated near 4.00 in chem but got F's on his exams even with above average MC correct- doesnt make sense. Very scary situation. I got out as fast as I could and graduated magna cum laude.

Very rude, even the nice reviews here realize that. Unhelpful, does not answer questions. This was my 2nd time taking A&P & he was honestly just as bad as my first prof, this school has a huge issue with their science dept. Take this class elsewhere, I couldn't pass here but then easily got an A somewhere else. Run. Avoid. Run. E-permit, anything.

one of the toughest I've taken, and not just because of the material. The professor's voice was difficult to understand, often mumbling, which made it hard to keep up with already complex concepts. When students asked questions, he would frequently cut them off without fully explaining, which left many of us struggling to get clarity.

The exams were very challenging. The midterm, was based on a single, high-stakes essay question where you had to fill several pages. This made it nearly impossible to succeed unless you could answer that one question perfectly, regardless of how much you studied other topics. It felt more like a test of luck than an assessment of our knowledge.

I faced a personal crisis when my father almost passed away. Hoping for some understanding, his reply was strange. He said he didn't want to hear about it, this left me feeling dismissed and unsupported during a very hard time. I know there's policies to stick to, but a little empathy can make a big difference, especially during a difficult time.

Rude, dismissive, and hard to understand. The professor cuts off students mid-question, gets visibly annoyed when we ask for clarification, and seems to have an ego issue. Doesn't create a welcoming environment for learning, making this tough subject even harder. Avoid if you want supportive guidance or a passing grade at all...

Avoid if possible. Doesn't present a welcoming environment for the students and can be rude to the students. Grades very harshly and expects a lot of information in ONE essay question. Sends old class recordings and cancels class but expects us to know every detail or you won't pass the class. The class is already hard but he makes it harder.

VERY RUDE! Never listens, cuts off, gets annoyed, yells at students, intimidating, unprofessional, egoistic. Worst type of person I've ever met in my entire life, and the most stressful experience I've ever had. Teaching/guiding is not his job. He should be fired. I wanna go back in time so bad and stop me from choosing this school & professor.
