Amazing prof!
Maybe the best at Mac--the only class I went to in first or second year
Very understanding and leniant!
Killer prof! He should permanently be on the "best Teacher" board. So cute!
Helped me to understand calculus. Very handsome, too.
I have to agree with everybody, he IS the best prof at Mac
best prof. at mac....he's jokes!!
The best prof @ Mac. Makes other Profs look bad (really bad)!!!
dandy prof, made everything seem easy, one of the best at MAC!
Even though I hate Calculus I must admit that Lovric was very fair and helpful!
yes, he's really that good. totally approachable, v.smart and adorable to boot.
He's the best!!!
Dr. Lovric actually cares about people *really* understanding the material.
Excellent teacher, really fair, smart, delicious accent
Grrrrreat teacher... very fair and challenging
Don't get me wrong, he's a good professor, but hes way overrated, everyones in love with him. Calc1a is completely catered to students so who would like him?
A good looking guy but people need to look past that to see him for what he is. There are other profs out there who are as good as him without that accent
hands DOWN, the best prof at mac.
Hail Lovric!! The best professor at mac not to mention the best looking. I love him!
He is an awesome teacher! He's definetly making calc interesting. So funny, even when he's not trying to be and the accent is so cute!
WHY IS HE SO HOT?
great teacher!!!
Good prof. Well-known for extra-curricular activities...
This guy is so cool, he truly loves math and demonstrates his love to his students with an enthusiasm that will grow on you! Yay Dr. Lovric!
wonderfully absorbed in math
He is a great prof!Bad prof tell,but he insprites you because he always gives you helpful hints to solve the questions.He has a sence of humor.He is my favourite prof!
He's an awesome prof who really cares about the students! He always tries his best to make everyone understand the material. And his accent makes him funny to listen to and really cute.

Clear and interesting lectures; explaines everything well! Calculus was so fun!
dr. lovric is great. he keeps things interesting with his stories about how famous mathematicians have died....
Awesome Prof!
I love Dr. Lovric! He is so enthused about math and especially about teaching. He is always available to help. He is an amazing lecturer... he makes calculus so interesting and fun! Besides, his accent is great.
great prof. he's really nice and really helpful and doesn't make you feel stupid even if you ask a really stupid question.
My favourite professor at MAC...made me want to switch into the math department!! his lectures were interesting and he gives us amazing notes! so easy to understand! on top of everything... his accent is the cutest thing in the world! thumbs!
Had Lovric in 1997. I am a teacher now. He knew how to teach well!! Awesome prof!
I love Miroslav!! He made 8:30 calc attendable! And he's soo cute!
Lovric is #1 - I sent him a secret valentine - if I had him for OAC calculus, I suspect my life would have been significantly different...
He is the best math professor EVER! And thats the bottom line cause I SAID SO!
He's a great guy. Easy to understand, very funny, very relaxed. Best math prof ever.
Extraordinarily Amazing Professor. Possibly one of the best math profs in the entire world. Really nice and great at explaining stuff.
One of the best math prof @ Mac with a true sense of humour. Teaches slow and easy going so every students in his sections will understand the stuffs more and better. Rock on sir!!!
best prof at mcmaster
hard!
Clear, consistent, and is open to help. He insults the class but no one is offended. Makes witty comments. Uses great/funny/understandable examples. The best professor I've ever met. Everything he does is way cute, since he's the strong and silent type. It's always a pleasure to see him smile.
Amazing prof!
Most good looking professor at McMaster University. In addition to that, he's excellent at teaching also.
Great Prof.
The best math prof ever in the history of math profs...keep up the good work sir
Very good guy. Great lectures!! He's got a lot of teaching awards.
He's a great prof.. you can't ask for a better prof than him. A cool person to talk to, about anything at all. Very approachable and quiet fair.
yes, he is a very good prof. but i'm better looking than he is. come on, ladies, give me some recognition.
Had him 4 years ago. Thought he was a good speaker, corny sense of humour. I found the 1AA3 class easier though.
An excellent prof. He makes math fun and often says a lot of crazy things in class. Very helpful: will try to make your marks the best they can be. Most fun class last term
Dr. Lovric is the most outstanding professor I have ever had. He should get a gold medal for his outstanding excellence in teaching. He is extremely helpful with any matter (be it course related or anything else) He holds tonnes of office hours and truly enjoys teaching. Highly recommend this prof!!
awesome, i quit going to my scheduled lectures and went to his lecture insteads, best move i ever made!
good teacher
Great and sexy proff!!!
Very knowledgable, Very Clear, and Very helpful
AMAZING
THE BEST PROF EVER!!!! Calc. 1A03 (lovric taught it) Vs. Calc 1AA3 (wolkovic) ... big difference. Was WAAYYY better when Lovric taught it :) The best prof ever and you can learn more from him than just math. I hope I have him in the future!
No Comments
I had an enormous crush on him when I took his math 1A03 five years ago and still could not forget about him. He is really a super star prof, simply magnificent!!! He is a really gentle and kind person too. Love his accent, so so SEXY!
He is amazing!! I actually was disappointed to see his semester end and to never have him as a prof again.
He's an amazing teacher who just cares so much about his students. He makes sure that we understand the material and gives us hints about the up coming tests. He prepares us well and advices us about sleeping and eating well! Our class was ALWAYS packed with students (even for an early morning class)!
It's worth taking his class just to hear the insane, random things he says. But besides that, I think he's a very overrated prof.
I LOVE HIM! BEST TEACHER EVER! and the things he says is so cute. and he looks so cute when he's confused.
assumes way too much knowledge and explains concept in simplest form, then, assigns incredibly hard examples on every test. an overrated prof.
His tests are little challenging - but fair if you understand the material clearly
Dr.Lovrican CAN TEACH!!I'd definitely say one of the best profs at Mac..If you attend his lectures - you WILL LEARN!!!Amazing prof!!!Highly suggest you take his class!!
Peace in.
Dr.Lovric is an amazing Professor. He really makes learning fun and interesting. He's one of the best profs at Mac. Make sure to have him as a prof for a least one of your classes!
one of the most intelligent people i have ever met, yet he manages to make his lectures clear and concise.
He was a good prof. However, the class structure was pretty weird. His assignments were pretty tough (thank God for support networks) and there weren't any really notes. The tests were decent. But overall, he was a good prof.
BEST math professor at McMaster Univ
Has genuine concern for the success and well being of students. Easy to talk to about anything. Very dedicated proff
chilling
Seriously, Dr. Lovric's explanations are simply the best (you really gotta attend his lectures to truly understand what I mean). He makes you understand and he does it better than any other instructors I've seen, including Ghioca. If you have Dr. Lovric for first year Calc, you're golden! (All the postive comments beforehand are not exaggerations)
I'm tempted to switch into mathematics and study art at the same time...this is how ridiculously genius this man is. Absolutely adorable when confused, too. haha.
Great prof for math2x03 but it is NOTT easy
i am sorry , does anyone else find him very attractive
He teaches really well (got many teaching awards!) He cares about his students and answers e-mails very quickly. And he's absolutely halirious; if you go to his lectures you will have a blast! I like the way he says "do you understand what I'm saying?" You have to hear him say it.
Great Class, hard though, cant wait for second half(2XX3), also want to actually buy the text rather than a courseware..:|
excellent prof, great teaching, and cares about students!
great professor great explanations and teaching style. Best i've had yet.
excellent prof! awesome notes! awesome coursepack, test questions are taken from his lecture examples/coursepack examples.. don't skip a lecture and you'll get A+ for sure.
Amazing prof. You have to work hard, but if you keep up and study hard, you will enjoy his class.
The man's adorable! I hate Calc, but I love this course.
Amzing prof. Exceptional teacher. Kind Heart Human Being. Always happy to help the students. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE HIS COURSES.
Lovric had time on his hands, so he mathematically proved to us that vampires don't exist because if they did, they would consume us all in about 32 weeks. That is how awesome and how cool he is! I love lovric, and so does the rest of McMaster!
He is polite and courteous.
LOVE HIM
Math 2X03 and 2XX3--- VERY TOUGH PROFESSOR
Awesome
He is very sexy and good looking prof although his tests are hard as hell. Theoretical questions requiring intuition are asked. His tests will slaughter you nicely. He is WAYYYYYYYYYY harder than Dr. Alama who taught math 2xx3 last year. Wish Dr. Alama taught math 2x03 and 2XX3 this year!! Would have been so much easier!!!!
Make the tests easier please!!
He says "Thank You" at the end of every lecture
Best prof in math. In response to the comment below it would mean girls are his dear, and boys are not his dear. Does anybody know if he favours girls more than guys? He is very smart and teaches efficiently and clearly.
Nice prof. He lectures at a perfect pace and does not rush to cover all the material.
EXCELLENT
Terrible Prof
he goes extremely slowly throughout the term, and towards the end of the semester when he still has so much to cover, he targets to cover 2 sections per day, which is 4 times his normal speed. That does not make him a great prof!!!!! If he was a great prof, he wouldn't speed through the material in the end, just to get it done. Think about it.
I am not a math student, I detest calculus, and yet I loved the first year ArtSci calculus class I took with Dr. Lovric! He is amazing, passionate, and helpful as a teacher. I have not continued in math, but I appreciate all that Dr. Lovric taught me. Certainly not for the fainthearted, but worth every second if you're willing to work also!
Good prof; Hard though...
AMAZING prof, always asked us "are you happy with this?"
He is great teacher.
Amazing.Best prof ever.
Professor Lovric was awesome for Math 2x03 and then again awesome for Math 2XX3. His tests were tough but fair. Good teaching style.
EXCELLENT!!
He is a good professor. Explains very good.
Amazing. Take his class, and don't be afraid to go to this man for help. He really just wants everyone to do well. Weekly quizes keep you on track, and can boost your mark as long as you prepare.
HE IS VERY NICE MAN. IF YOU DID ALL THE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS HE ASSIGNED EACH AND EVERY QUESTION THEN YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEED ATLEAST A- IN HIS COURSES
He is the most fair prof in the math department. Takes his job seriously, answers emails prompty and cares for all the students.
Very very good professor
Overall excellent professor
BEST.PROF.EVER
He is the best professor ever. His quiz tests and exams are strictly based on the homework problems assigned and examples done on the board. If you do all the homework guaranteed good grade. Make sure you memorize all the questions that he assigned.
Outstanding teaching performance.
Really cares about students
He is the most helpful professor I met in my first year. He would always be happy to help you if you have trouble understanding the material.
Great prof. He wrote the textbook so he loves it and uses gets majority of exams questions from the text only. Strongly recommend him for 2X3 and 2XX3
He is the best math professor I ever had! He makes lessons very interesting, lots of advice and very approachable. For calc 1A03, don't miss out on him and as long as you do the questions from the coursework, you'll do just fine. best part - he is just hilarious!!
OUTSTANDING proffff
One of the best profs seen till now. As a person he is very nice. Much better then his TA Mehmetcik. The key to doing well in his class is know how to do each and every homework problem that he assigned and memorize the solutions to all the examples he told you to study from the textbook. Exams are very similar to homework problems. Hard to get A+
The term has just started but I am liking him very much already. The first quiz was very easy.
Professor has great style to teach.
He is a good man. Know the textbook inside out.
the test was hard
Amazing professor. I have learnt so much from him. I learnt about logarithms, sketching the graphs of functions, trigonometry etc etc. This stuff was very scary for me before but he taught in a manner that I really understood what's happening behind the scenes. I hope to get atleast A in this course. Best prof for any first year calculus courses.
I had him couple years back. He was really good prof but his TA was so awful, I dont remember his name but he was some guy with a horrible accent and condescending attitude I think he was Turkish guy he's not at McMaster anymore
He is the best prof I have ever had! His lessons were engaging and he captures his audience attention extremely well. He has very good advice and is a patient, good hearted man. His TA memtick was however a VERY VERY miserable human being.
GREAT PROFESSOR!
Amazing Prof. That's all I have to say.
WHY DOES he ask Definition questions on the test 2? This is a MATH COURSE not an English course where you have to test the student has memorized the definition. Ridiciulous!
He taught me that the derivative of any constant is zero. This prof clearly has a high IQ!
I had him some time back for Math 1A03. He was great. Thanks for the good mark.
This prof taught me that 3 minus 3 is zero during lecture. He is professor of the year for sure!!
Don't bother attending his lectures; you learn almost nothing from him. I hear he's won teaching awards. In my opinion he should do what's right and give them back.
i love him! he is so funny :D
No Comments
He kind of looks like Andrei Arlovski with long grey hair. Best prof ever btw
Awesome professor
Good prof. Has good intentions for his class. Do all the homework and should be good enough.
Dr. Lovric was the best professor I have ever had. He is well organized and explains his material well.
Excellent. I hope to be like him one day. I love his first name "MIROSLAV"
he was a great prof, funny too!
He teaches first year calculus. He MUST be a genius. That stuff is SOOOOO hard.
Very Tough Professor
Lectures are interesting and concepts are clearly explained with excellent examples. Prof is helpful, thoughtful, and puts alot of effort into the course. Alot of ridiculous, immature comments here with zero relativity to the effectiveness as this professor as an instructor.
No Comments
Excellent professor. He can answer any first year calculus question, but beyond that he gets into trouble. However, he is very caring. He will cuddle girls whenever they are stressed. Tries to make them feel comfortable around him. That really helps.
If you want to open the doors to your future, take a course taught by this professor. If you want to permanently lock the doors to your future, take Chris McLean's courses. You will know the difference. This prof is quiet fair. He had a really nasty TA once upon a time, but generally speaking his exams are similar to practice problems in the book.
wowowow amazing prof. he was my life!
Such a great professor. He really knows his stuff inside out and can solve any math problem you throw at him, on the spot. He is a serious mathematician. He teaches some of the most difficult/challenging courses at McMaster (like math 1LS3, Math 2X03, Math 1A03) These courses are for very high I.Q students. He has very busy schedule. Amazing prof.
Amazing professor. I agree with the previous comments. He teaches very difficult courses. Some of the most challenging courses are taught by Professor Lovric, so he deserves all the prestige and awards that he receives. His courses like Math 1LS3 are more difficult then Real Analysis or Partial Differential Equations. I got A+ from him twice.
Fairly good prof but not as great as Dr. minoo. He should consider minoo as his role model and hone his teaching skills by following minoo's teaching style. He is not as great a mathematician as minoo is.
The textbook Lovric wrote for vector calculus is very bad. It has poor examples. Dr. Minoo is not using the textbook Lovric wrote for Math2X03 because he knows what is better for students. Minoo deserves to get all the hot girls going after him. Girls are wrong in liking Lovric. Minoo is far better looking and has better personality then Lovric.
I agree with most of the previous comments. Dr. Lovric is a good man, but from a fairness perspective, I have to be honest and say Maung Minoo is far more knowledgeable. Lovric is here at Mac today because of Minoo. Lovric should consider Minoo to be his mentor and develop a more live and spontaneous teaching style the way Minoo does it.
Min-Oo is the man. He taught every prof in the math department what he or she knows today, especially Dr Lovric. I really hope Dr Lovric appreciates the man they call Min-Oo.
He is a great prof, and hilarious too!
he is an awesome prof who really gets the concepts through to the class.
GREAT
Unbelievable Prof. He was so amazing. He has this aura and his voice is so so sexy! Love his accent. His tests and exams are totally fair and no surprises. Just do all the practice questions that he assigns and understand them carefully, and you will have no problem getting atleast A- in his course. Sometimes the final can be a little long though.
Dr. Lovric did a great job in both lectures and tutorials. Reflecting on previous comments, I imagine that supervising a graduate course of 10 students would require less expertise than organizing a large first year class where you must recognize and reconcile differences in backgrounds and deliver a course even non-math majors will find valuable.
He is the only teacher I've had that has explained math in a way that made sense to me. He's a fantastic prof -- enrol in his section for sure!
I had him for 2X and 2XX I loved this prof. I nominate him to become the future president of McMaster University. Most intelligent man I have ever seen. His love for calculus is infectious and it rubs on students. Very easy to do well in his courses. Just do all the homework and understand every one of the examples in his text. Study. Guaranteed A-
Great professor
cutest man ever!
He doesn't try to be funny...he just is! Does a very good job in explaining concepts.
Lovric was probably one of my favourite first year profs. Although the accent did take a while to get used to, by the end I loved it! He's funny and good at what he does. If you pay attention in class and actually study for tests you'll do really well! :)
There isn't anyone who doesn't like Lovric. Clear, funny, and knows his stuff
Amazing professor
What a boss... lectures are well detailed, clear, and concise. Is there anything more you want?
consider yourself blessed if you get lovric as your prof. the way he uses overheads instead of powerpoints means that he can work through questions with the class. you can follow along as he explains and does the problems. he is very clear and very good at explaining concepts. he is also very funny (even through he doesn't try to be!) AMAZING!
Dr. Lovric is an outstanding and brilliant math teacher. He goes through problems one step at a time which really helps everyone understand. By far my best prof for first year. You will be so lucky if you get him!!
My favorite professor so far. Very clear and concise, uses overhead notes unlike most profs who use power-points. Fairly easy course, tests accurately resemble homework assignments.
Deserves to win professor of the year. AMAZING TEACHING STYLE.
Definitely one of my favourite professors. So glad I had him for this class! He is the cutest man ever, and so unintentionally hilarious. The tests and exam seemed fair. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Best professor/teacher I have ever had in my entire life. Having him made me consider majoring in math just so I could have him again. Genuinely cares about his students and is amazing at explaining difficult concepts. He made me see math in a new light. You are so lucky if you get this professor!!!!
One of the better professors I have had thus far. Very clear with his explanations, and very thorough with concepts. A good sense of humour as well.
Absolutely incredible prof. Very clear, organized helpful and actually cares about his students and wants them to do well. Best prof I have had so far.
Definately recommended! Notes are clear and concise, with lots of relevant examples. Very friendly and helpful during extra-help sessions. Didn't used to textbook that much, but still good for review. Overall, excellent professor! Take his class if you get the chance!
He is a good prof, but quite overrated. Sometimes he fails to communicate important information that would greatly help student understanding. Very informal teaching style, but very learnable. Funny prof; tests and quizzes are difficult, but the assignments really help. If you don't spend a lot of time studying/practicing, you may
he is probably the best professor at mcmaster university, the best i ever had, he makes difficult thing easier to understand; you can tell he loves what he does and really wants the student to understand and like his class; he will always be open for questions... he will ask you for feedback
Best prof at Mac!!! He makes the hard stuff look doable. Hoping he teaches higher level math courses!! :D
Lovric was a very good prof. Although most of the material was high school review, he made the class very interesting to attend. His tests were very reasonable and he cares for the students. This class is an easy 12 if you did well in high school Calculus.
Probably the best math prof in the university.
Def cares for his students. Its possible to get As in his class as long as you study hard for his quizzes and tests by practicing those assignments.
Amazing Prof. Naturally funny. He knows what he is teaching. Happy that I was in his class.
Best professor at the university and it's not even close. Takes time to ensure you understand what is going on and does whatever he can to help as long as you ask. He was awesome!
Absolutely incredible guy. So helpful, loves his subjects and genuinely cares about all his students.
Awesome guy, great teacher. Do not know how anyone can dislike him
This man is amazing. He cares sooo much about his students and he goes out of his way to make sure everyone is happy. He uses the classic overheads and it may seem a bit confusing at first however it really works well and he provides you with good and clear explanations. If I could I would switch to do a math major/thesis under him!
really good prof. teaches proofs very well. midterms are fairly lengthy, but fair.
BEST PROF YOU WILL EVER HAVE!
Best professor in the school. Hands down.
BEST PROFESSOR IN MAC!!! Love his lectures, he makes hard knowledge easy to understand. Tests are easier than assignments and practise test covers everything on test. His classes are REALLY worth taking.
The best prof at Mac. He explains so well and he is so caring about his students.
One of my favourite profs in first year. His lectures are as fun as math can be and he cares for his students. He's great at explaining concepts so I found his lectures helpful.
Lovric is an incredible prof. His lectures are very clear and he does his best to make sure that his students understand the content. Definitely one of the best profs I've had in first year. He is a naturally funny and adorable man who manages to maintain my attention during classes. Everyone loves Lovric. :)
Amazing guy. Best prof I've ever had so far. He's fun and knows how to teach. Even though English is probably his second language, he can explain material a lot better than other professors whose first language is English.
Very willing to help students and gives very clear explanations. Everyone loves Lovric :)
Another prof told me that he is the best teacher of math in the department - that is why they always put him with the first years. He is. Easily the best TEACHER of mathematics. Tests are easy. He said he tested poorly as a student, so he often gives take home tests and many assignments. Stresses heuristic and problem solving - great for math.
Problem Solving was an easy course. Lovric's approach to problem solving makes learning problem solving easy. Great lecturer, learned some cool things, lots of neat tricks which were helpful in other classes. Many assignments. Both tests and the exam were take-home. There was no text book. Great class!
He's the best professor ever. My life is not complete without him. 3
MATH 3G03 is a great class. The assignments are tricky, but very doable and rewarding. Miroslav recognizes students will work together to solve the problems, but definitely take the time to sort out the concepts for your own benefit. The course will give you good intuition for problem solving in mathematics, especially through computer programming.
Dr. Lovric was one of my favourite profs in first year. He's really nice and funny and he clearly cares about his students. His lectures are very clear and prepare you well for the tests.
God amongst men.
He makes every concept so easy to understand. his test questions were similar to the homework assignments. so if you do all of them, you're most likely to do well in his class.
He's a really good prof. Makes the learning environment during lectures so stress free and helps so much with explaining his steps as he goes through problems.
Lovric is one of the nicest, most wonderful profs I've ever had. He's easy to listen to and really tries to get the concepts across effectively. The class is pretty condensed so if you miss a lecture, you really do fall behind. I highly recommend you go to tutorials aswell, you go through a lot of examples, many similar to the ones on the midterms.
Dr. Lovric is wonderful. He explains math concepts extremely well and doesn't skip steps when doing calculations. He's very approachable and doesn't make you feel stupid when you ask a question. Make sure you do all the homework assignments because very similar/the same questions will appear on the tests!
He's amazing
He is the nicest!!he is one of the best prof in math, not like some new stupid prof this year urhh
Probably my favourite professor so far! Absolutely amazing guy! He really cares about his students and is funny too. Easy to talk to and explains things very well and a lot of the testing was similar to the homework assignments!
Nice guy. Makes a lot of funny comments. Tries to really explain concepts. However, he all over the place during the lecture and is kind of hard to follow along. His midterms were straight from the homework assignments, which i should have done.. no wonder i failed the course.
Favourite Prof at Mac so far! really nice and approachable made the concepts easier to understand would definitely recommend taking one of his courses
How did it feel to hold a Koala and look like it too?
Amazing professor. Would love to take another class with him.
Will continue to be one of the profs at Mac that truly care about the success of the students and makes the content interesting & understandable.
Amazing professor, best course I have taken so far and would recommend it to anyone- truly is the best math course that can help with real life ! Very caring and tries his very best to make sure everyone has a good enough understanding of the concepts. His attitude towards math and his professionalism is truly inspirational !
simply AMzing
This is one of the best profs at Mac. Beats everyone else by a long shot. He's so kind and humble, and really cares about the students. Super easy to approach and helpful. Would take all my courses with him if I could.
Miroslav is a legend. He is hilarious without even trying and his quirkiness is lovable. Fantastic prof and the tests were all very based on assignments and previous practise tests. Extremely easy to do well if you go to class and keep up. Miroslav is actually my favourite and he cares so much about students. He's a gem y'all!!
Lovric is the GOAT. He is my favourite professor so far and honestly he cares about all 1000 of his students. I even watched his videos on youtube. I love this guy. Coming out of high school I didn't love math, but he made math interesting to learn. The content is not too difficult, show up to class and tutorials, study well and you'll do fine.
Lovric is amazing!
Entire mark is composed of 4 Tests (lowest is dropped though) and an exam. But he makes the tests very doable and the content is never harder than the practice. His lectures are a bit messy and will take some getting used to, but they are pretty effective and if you pay attention and do the work, an A is easy. Also,very nice prof and he's funny too
Dr. Lovric is interesting and respected. Attending his lecture is mandatory because he never posts his notes online.
He is very popular among students - it is hard to get a spot in his core for 1LS3! He is great at explaining the math, responds to emails with questions fast, and is easily approachable. Very interesting class. You can 12 it if you do the assignments!
Amazing prof, but sometimes hard to follow along with. Do the assignments, and youll do well in the class
His lectures are very effective. At first it may be hard to adjust to his teaching style, but overtime, I found the way he teaches concepts very interesting and enjoyable. He explains new concepts thoroughly and starts with the basics. One of my favourite profs so far!!
Very chill. Tries his best to make the class interesting, even when the material itself is dry, and usually succeeds. Clear expectations.
Best Prof I ever met in my life in university for the following reasons: - test what he taught -provides notes for each lecture - ensure you are prepared for each midterm by giving you good exercise with solutions provided -very easy to listen and follow during lecture -very nice prof many respect -will definitely take any course he teaches
Dr. Lovric is a good professor however he is hard to understand at times. The notes are all hand written and can become quite difficult to comprehend for somebody who did not attend lecture and looked at them after being posted. Do the assignments and all previous tests and exams. Not many grading opportunities so hard to do well.
Honestly, he's a blast to have. Even if the material was dry, I always enjoyed his lectures since he was SO kind and engaging. I hate that his classes have 4 tests, but also thankful that he drops one :') Thank you for being a fair prof who genuinely wants their students to succeed and get a good grade.
Lovric is a really great prof and genuinely cares about his students passing but he can be hard to follow during lectures so his teaching style isn't for everyone. He posts all his lecture notes but they're hard to understand if you don't go to class. Do the assignments and homework!!! A lot of the questions were repeated in the tests
Did life sci calculus in first year and literally understood nothing. His lectures were hard to follow and he didn't explain the concepts well in my opinion. Made me sad because I actually enjoyed calculus in high school.
hard to understand both lectures and messy notes. Did not make calculus enjoyable at all
If you follow lectures and tutorials in addition to the homework, there should not be anything that you find challenging! many people simply skip homework that he emphasizes and end up getting low marks. So I would say focus on that!! Funny facts: he sometimes literally talks like the book that he wrote when he wants to explain some concepts LOL!
Dr. Lovric is a funny, well organized, and enthusiastic teacher. It really shows that he cares about math, and teaching. Students from other sections often attended his lectures instead of their assigned ones. The 1LS3 tests are straightforward but long.
Dr. Lovric is amazing! He is very nice and fair and wants everyone to do well!
did not respond to emails despite medical situation (MSAF and accommodations needed), didn't seem to care about student success
Absolutely wonderful professor. Gives great feedback and helps you learn the material by having thorough lectures and answering questions. He is mindful of the difficulty of his course so he tries to help the students along the way. I have taken multiple courses with him and always been satisfied with his teaching and testing methods.
Miroslav is an amazing teacher. I think math teachers in general actually teach at this school. He is very enthusiastic about the content and you can tell he really loves what he does and that energy rubs off on the class. I wish I could take more classes with this guy as the teacher. You wont regret taking this course with this OG as the teacher
This prof does a great job in covering basic programming and equipping you to tackle his practise questions! He is easily accessible outside of class and responses fast to students' questions and cares for them to do good in the course! His 1mp3 tests were easy (as long as you attended class and did practise questions!)
A true ABSOLUTE GEM of a Professor! I (4th year) keep coming back to take classes with him, whether it be calculus, numeracy, or computing. He is so wholesome, caring, and good at teaching (easily become my FAVOURITE PROF AT MAC). You'll enjoy coming to lectures just to catch the positive vibes and wholesomeness. If you practice you'll do well.
Think of a professor so good, so caring, so accommodating, and amazing at teaching that you never want the semester to come to an end. Thats the best description of Dr. Lovric. If you put your end of the work into this course, youll leave doing even better than you anticipated. Dr. Lovric is the Mathematician Grandfather you never knew you needed
He wasn't my professor but he was the course coordinator. Makes a first year class ridiculously hard for no reason i.e. midterms and assignments. The marks are out of 15 so thats 6% per mark. Feedback is not given after each assignment. Seems like a good professor but a bad coordinator.
Professor Lovric is an excellent prof. I took Math 1MP3 and basically had no computer programming experience and it was great. The tests are stressful b/c they aren't out of much (usually out of 15) but the marking scheme itself is very easy. Your code for a question code return an error but as long as you have the basic stuff, you get full marks.
Doesn't curve a 50 average class lol
One of the best profs in the math department. Assignments are easy if you go over the material covered and attend lectures. Tests and the final are relatively easy if you do the practice problems and can remember the syntax and logic required for a problem. Basically, attend lectures and go over the practice problems and you should be good.
Tests and exams are fair and resemble practice problems. Very approachable in office hours for extra help. Useful course content in math numeracy
i wish he taught more classes. so helpful in office hours, explains concepts well, and tests are very similar to in class and homework problems.
very tough for grades.
Miss one lec you are behind forever. This course is not bird or a 'fun' math one, you are better off doing another calc or diffys course than this. No resources, does not post lec notes or anything. He only assigns tons of questions with no solutions. 22% midterms and only 20 marks, assignments worth 5%, take a week to solve. He just does not care
Tough grader, this is reflected in the averages, 44.8% for test 1 and 44.2% for test 2. You will never get part marks. Wish the course breakdown was created to help students succeed, maybe more assignments worth slightly more and have the tests be graded more fairly.. Horrible experience.. attending all lectures/tutorials doesn't help.
best math prof at mac
The toughest grading system out there. Impossible to get part marks. If you miss a lecture there's no way to catch up. There are no resources available to do any self studying. Not a bird course, don't go into 3G03 thinking it's going to be easy.
Not a very caring prof like stated by previous students
Professor Lovric is super helpful in office hours. His tests are manageable if you stay on top of the practice problems. I used unstuckstudy ai alongside the free textbook to prep - a lifesaver.
He explains things very clearly and you can see he puts a lot of effort into the course
Amazing prof. The class is known to be a bird but honestly I found it to be pretty interesting as we learned things that actually matter (eg. calculating taxes, mortages, interest rates, etc). He simplifies everything and you barely need your calculator its all logic-based. Would heavily recommend.
You know that joke where they say, "you don't need this in life" or "why didn't they teach us about taxes". Well you learn stuff you actually will use in life such as taxes, interest and probability. Great course, easy if you're in math or CS. All lectures are recorded which is nice if you're on Coop. 2 midterms and an exam though(you can MSAF one)
Absolutely amazing lecturer, very funny, always talks about extra things on how content connects to future concepts to learn, and real life. Examples like bees using polar co-ordinates still stick with me more than any math theory. Professor also clearly wants every student to succeed and even asked many of us how we felt about tests & assignments.
He was so amazing! Really funny and always approachable. He also asked for feedback a lot which was nice. Made taking calculus really fun and made it applicable to real life a lot. Also gave us a few history lessons on Newton which was always interesting. I hope to have him again one day, such an honour having him as a prof!!
Goat i love you miroslav
Dr. Lovric was a great lecturer and all around great guy. He always explained things really clearly and he was so funny. Definitely would recommend
Great prof who could explain things clearly and used very helpful examples, lectures were engaging and funny, would recommend taking this course with him if you can.
Very nice and funny professor, very good at explaining things.
Short answer questions are word for word only, so marked very harshly. Tests are out of very few marks and are worth quite a bit of your final grade. Messing up 1 or 2 questions will significantly drop your grade because of how poorly structured the grading scheme is.
What an absolute delight of a professor. There is nothing he could to do to make this class easier and more enjoyable for students. His lectures are great, the quizzes grading scheme is great and the overall class is really simple. Really educational too highly recommend for anyone on the fence take this class with Miroslav.
