She is really easy going and seems to answer all the questions very well. She is a real good teacher and understands your problem and very accomodating.

very helpful

very great and extremely resourcefull.

Very approachable, pleasurable and kind teacher. Sometimes there was a disconnect between her teachings and the textbook readings, but since she has a phD no doubt she can offer insights that the textbook didn't have. Overall a great professor for this introductory biology course. I am now a medical student in Ontario.

She was fair teacher and very helpful and wanted everyone to learn and understand everything

She was my Bio -I prof. She is very nice and easy going and helpful prof. She is NO # 1. I give you 10 out of 10. Thanks (Yours truly, Aman)

She is good professor and She very helpful.

I learned and Enjoyed in your class. I would take more classes in future.

Dr. Nagina is extremely helpful and makes the class very interesting.

Nagina is such a sweet, nice teacher and she's always understanding with any extensions. Definitely one of the great teachers at Ryerson

Prof. Nagina's ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior. She's amazing, I highly recommend her!

I thought Prof. Parmar was an amazing teacher that could truly explain the course material in ways that I could understand. I truly appreciated how she tied in some stories with respect to her research experience and found that it added a great touch to the course content (which I think she did an excellent job in explaining, too!).

Fair, intelligent and helpful lady. Really enjoyed having her as a professor. Her tests for this course are hard though and expect you to know the material well. The midterm consisted of multiple choice, short answers and acronyms (she gives you an acronym and you say what it is). Class average was 62.

Great Course and Instructor. Learned a lot. Recommended.

I took this course in 2014 Fall to fulfill my upper liberal course requirements and coming from public health program, the material was familiar enough for me. The weekly writing assignment feels like attendance mark however be wary of midterm & final exam because it won't be easy. The exams expect you to spell out a lot of acronyms!!!

Enthusiastic, charming and very helpful.

Professor Nagina Parmar is an exceptional professor who truly cares about the success of her students. She provides all the necessary tools and information to perform well within her class. Her evaluations are very fair- no curveballs. I would highly recommend her.

I have had Professor Parmar for my Biology I and Microbiology courses. She is a wonderful teacher. She cares about her student and their success. I really enjoyed these two courses and I learned a lot from them. She makes the concepts simple to understand, and is very easy to approach. She is very passionate about teaching and very helpful.

She a biology class easy to understand and fun to go to. She is a fair marker, and wants respect from her students. If you want to learn, you will enjoy her as a professor and her class. Her powerpoint slides are very specific - you don't need to purchase the text.

She really tried her best to keep us engaged during lectures through participation and concise slide presentations. Going to class allowed for easy completion marks for article reflections. Group presentations were lenient. Midterm and final were quite thorough and specific, so ensure you are prepared!

Very knowledgeable professor. She is also very nice and cares about her students. Her midterm was quite easy but don't be fooled. The questions are very specific so study everything she refers to in class. But the only problem is that she assigns a long individual essay that is to be written at PhD level with an unreasonable deadline. Start early!!

Nagina is very friendly and approachable. Her lectures are straightforward and slides are really helpful. Every class a reading exercise was completed, but was easy. No textbook was required, her slides cover materials

Nagina is a very nice lady and an amazing prof. She is very clear and is a fairly easy grader. I took really good, clear descriptive notes and got a 90 in her class by just doing that. Her tests can be tricky so make sure you copy everything she says in class. She is very fair and does care about her students. Respect her and shell respect you back

Doctor Parmer is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had in my schooling history. Count your self lucky if your blessed enough to have her. She has a very sweet personality and is very supportive to your learning needs. She makes the class environment easy to participate in. She marks fairly and also the exams won't be a surprise as well.

She is very supportive, wants her student to do well and always feel concern when her class average is B. Class attendance is as good as one mark. She prefers class average of at least A-. Gives detail of semester expectations at the begin of the class. The course is very informative on the process of drug discovery to approval. Awesome A

One of the best professor at Ryerson. Really does care about students.

Dr. Parmar is a great professor who really puts in the effort to teach her students & is always accessible. She explains the material well & going to class really helps reinforce the content. Her zoology class has a lot of opportunities to get a good grade, including 2 midterms, online smart learn, a lab & extra credits. 10/10 recommend the course

The instructor teaches from her heart and is supportive, and respects students. I am very pleased that I have taken BLG699 because I earned valuable learning experience.

I truly don't understand why people give her bad reviews. As someone who doesn't pay a whole lot of attention in class, literally all of her question were straight from her notes. It really was not that hard. She is a very forgiving marker in her assignments and provides great feedback. Its university, classes aren't meant to be easy.

She's one of the few professors that actually seems to enjoy teaching and is actually interested in the course material. Lectures are easy to follow. The assignments had clear marking guidelines. The midterm and exam were fair and as long as you went to class you'd have gotten at least a B. Overall a great professor.

Dr. Parmar is great. She's really caring and does her best to make sure all her students were following along. She was also super open to comments and opinions from her students which is really appreciated as it shows she wants to learn along with us.

GREAT PROF, knows what she's talking about. very enthusiastic about what she is teaching Not the greatest lecturer, but her class is enjoyable. Good to note that some questions you ask may be lost in translation and answered incorrectly. YOU HAVE TO GO TO CLASS, PARTICIPATION MARKS (Weekly Articles)

Dr. Parmar is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. Do the work, follow instructions, show up to class and you're pretty much guaranteed an A. I found her lecture materials very interesting as well and would definitely recommend this course.

Her teaching style made things engaging and easy to grasp the material. Comments made here are not true reflections of what Dr. Parmar personality is as I strongly disagree with them.

Dr. Parmar is very passionate about what she teaches, and cares about her students. Show up to lecture, pay attention, and you will receive a very good mark. Tests, assignments, and group project were all very easy. Dr. Parmar showed relevant articles and videos that made the class material easy to understand and engaging. Loved this class!

Dr. Parmar is very nice and wants her students to do well in her class. She replies emails very quick. If you have questions, please ask her. Her exams are easy if you attend lecture and read the assigned articles. This course is very interesting. There are few assignments, just make sure you start earlier. Her marking is very fair. Love this class

Interesting course and a lot of topics can be tied to real life such as the pandemic going on right now. A lot of evaluations for an upper liberal with 2 tests, group project, individ assignment, weekly assignments. She also gives bonus marks. Just study from the slides for her tests. She marks fairly easy and is nice and approachable. Recommend.

Dr. Parmar is one of the most genuine professors in FoS. Shes very approachable and does her best to ensure the students fully understand the content. Her lectures are highly engaging and she gives multiple opportunities to get a good grade through multiple interesting assignments. Also very friendly and takes the time to get to know her students

Dr. Parmar is a very nice professor and she cares a lot about her students. This UL is annoying though with 5 assignments and a midterm. She marks fair but the rubrics are vague. She has lots of opportunities for bonus marks so thats good. If youre looking for an easy A+ this class isnt it as it requires a lot of commitment

Professor Parmar is an amazing teacher. I have learned so much through all her learning activities. She is always open to feedback and provides drop-in sessions for you to ask questions. I am always engaged during each lecture, and I look forward to class!!

Dr. Parma was such a great professor. She was very understanding of everyone's work life balance and made sure that the lecture content and tests were accessible to everyone. I would 100% take another class with her if she taught it and it fit my schedule. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Parmar is a fantastic professor. She is so knowledgeable and her lectures are structured in a way that helps you learn the content but keeps you interested at the same time. The condensed course is stressful, but it's what you sign up for - trying to do a whole course in 6 weeks. I would absolutely recommend this course.

Dr. Parmar is a great professor, she's very kind and wants you to succeed. She trys to make class fun and participation definitely helps. She can take a while to respond to emails, but given the number of students she usually has this is totally understandable. Definitely a great professor to have.

Wow! Dr. Parmar is one of the best professors Ive had in all my four years at Ryerson. This is the first biology course I had ever taken as Im in business management and she made the course so enjoyable and easy to understand! She took time to explain the information, made the class fun and was truly so sweet! Highly recommend her as a professor.

Overall great teacher that listens to student feedback. Provides opportunities to attain bonus marks, and evaluations are also straight forward too (everything is straight from her slides and other resources she provides). Only problem I really had was getting lost in her powerpoints, but other than that Dr. Parmar was incredibly kind and great.

Dr. Parmar is truly incredible. She is understanding and empathetic towards her students and keeps things interesting. Her knowledge of social factors in drug development is vast. My only criticism is that many of the assignments are due around the same time towards the end of the semester which can make the course a little stressful. I recommend.

Dr. Parmar is the best professor and she cares about her students' success and wellbeing. Her lectures are long but she did a great job at engaging the students into the lesson!

be sure to put in the extra work on labs and lectures in order to get a good mark. Most of the quizzes are straight from the slides given from the lecture and shes really understanding towards due dates. High recommend her!!:)

I loved this class. It was fun and Inclusive while being online. I found the quizzes straight forward and fair. She is a very sweet lady, everything you need is on D2L (organized). The kahoots actually do help to prep. Study, review, you will do well. The only thing that kind of sucked was paying for the lab simulation, but you do what u gotta do.

She is a very good prof. if you know knowledge of this topic/industry please take her as she will teach you the way is a very easy, fun and understandable method.

Professor Parmar is one of my fave profs I’ve ever had. The assignments weren’t hard but they were all due at the end of the semester which was a bit stressful. I attended her live lectures and she presents the material in a way that’s easy to understand. She constantly engages you by asking questions which enhanced my learning. I loved her!

I really like Dr Parmar as the course is organized very well with clear instructions. She adds recent research articles to each lectures She goes out of her way to help students. Before the mid terms she organized review sessions on the weekends and weekday. She is very accommodating and provide extensions if needed. Very caring professor!

Dr. Parmar is a very sweet and caring professor. She was always willing to help and guide us with study sessions outside of class which really helped me. The slides were a bit useless so reading the textbook would be more beneficial for your learning. I was able to learn the material on my own. Overall, not a bad professor.

Honestly amazing prof. I guarantee these "bad reviews" are just students who thought this biology course would be a breeze or an easy bird course. Come to her class, participates, you will get an A-.

Great course! A bit too much work for an upper liberal... overall she is flexible with due dates and marks reasonably well. She is very passionate and has good knowledge. Participation matters (10%), being active in class, on Twitter and on discussion posts. This course definitely requires some work. The exams were easy and from practice questions!

Some of my peers have rated this professor very low as they don't even know her. They don't attend her in person classes. Very responsive, caring, empathetic and approachable prof. Easy to get grades if you are showing up and complete all the quizzes. Also get bonus for attendance and participation.

Mandatory online classes and contribution actively during the class and group activities are vital. interesting topics would explore through the course.

The professor is wonderful, incredibly kind, and fun to listen to. The group assignments was lot of fun. But the course is too dense (it requires too much to keep up with just for 10% participation marks)

Really enjoyed the course material. Weekly participation is very important. The professor replied quickly to any inquiries and always answered any questions in the class. Used class discussions and group work to help students understand important topics (ones appearing on tests). Lecture slides were simple to understand and gave enough detail.

Dr. Parmar is an amazing professor who is very passionate about what she teaches! I had an amazing time with her as she made the lectures very fun and interactive, and always addressed student concerns. If you put your best effort in doing all the assignments and discussion posts, you will surely get a good mark! Exams were straightforward as well!

Amazing professor, was excited to come to class and made lectures extremely interesting. Was also accessible via email and was extremely helpful.

There is a lot of material to cover, but with consistency throughout the semester, you can keep up. You get back what you put into the course, so if you put in the effort you'll get a good result. The flipped lecture format centers on in-class discussions that really help to lock in the information you studied at home. Very interesting material.

Dr. Parmar is a welcoming professor. I am a mature student so it was a little harder to navigate, but she was always available to talk and help. Dr. Parmar also responds to emails (which is a huge plus). Great experience, she is calm and collected, and would reduce my stress level. Definitely would take another class with her.

Other reviews are exaggerated she's not a 1star prof. She cares about students, removed paid platform when student reached out, and final exam matched lecture content with cheat sheets. Lectures reinforced material through activities. She's kind and fair, but put in effort to succeed if you think the course is messy you lack organization skills

She is such a sweet and caring prof! Her quizzes are easy, the group assignment was easy and she really makes an effort into being there and explaining stuff to her students! i would def recommend taking this course with her

The professor is helpful and the course content is engaging, but the workload is heavy. Staying on top of participation and group assignments is crucial. Utilizing Unstuck study alongside the textbook can make studying more efficient.

Best prof evaa!!!

Amazing course! Dr. Parmar makes Medical Microbiology super engaging and explains concepts in a way that's easy to understand and apply. The material is directly relevant to real-world healthcare and clinical work. One of the most useful and practical classes I've taken!

Dr. Parmar is a very kind person and a great professor. The assessments were easy, attendance is part of the grade, and in-class time is a Q&A session + PollEverywhere to reinforce content, showing that she truly cares about her students' success. Make notes of in-class discussions for the exam. I would recommend this course as a core elective!

I absolutely loved having Dr. Parmar as a professor! She is extremely organized and understanding. She explains concepts very well and provides helpful assessments. Her quizzes and tests are fair!

I was worried about my GPA but this professor made everything a breeze.

Dr. Parmar is AMAZING!! One of the kindest and most genuine profs I've ever had. She actually cares about her students and goes out of her way to support us. Super approachable, easy to talk to, and always encouraging. She explains concepts clearly and makes class feel less stressful. She really wants her students to succeed, and it shows.

Dr. Nagina is one of the most compassionate and fair professors I've had. She genuinely cares about her students and shows it through her support and understanding. Her expectations are clear, and she encourages growth while still being approachable and kind. If you're willing to put in the effort, you'll thrive in her class.

Really considerate and her lectures were very engaging and hands on!! She genuinely cares for her students and wants them to learn. I wish her the best. Highly worth taking her class

Dr. Parmar is an excellent professor! She explains complex material clearly and makes lectures engaging with real-world examples. Very approachable and supportive, always willing to answer questions. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed her class.

Dr. Parmar is a very nice professor that cares about her students. She was also very lenient with the assignment grading and would find opportunities to reward bonus marks.
