No Comments
A funny and helpful teacher.
he makes me laugh, very helpfull.
very funny...
Pure Serb STYLER!!! Creamore is his favorite beer.
Impossible to understand, strong accent, very un-appropiate jokes.. Should not
Makes unappropriate jokes that he thinks are funny but really are not.
Not a bad teacher. Come on guys, he's pretty funny.
A showmen rather than an instructor. Way of explaining things hard to follow.
Choose another prof for unix
I love you
smart, sympathic, good scientist
One of my favorite teachers
Good analogies, can be funny, sometimes hard to understand(not his accent)

He is ok teacher.
good teacher, grammar on tests/assignments can be confusing, so ask questions! uses analogies to explain concepts, made it easier for me, but confused non-english speaking students
He is the worst example to being a human being in this world, This guy must be hating his life or have some severe personal problems that he reflects on his teaching. Nebojsa should be shunned to a different Nebula! What and ****!
unhelpful, his tests are hard to understand, half of class failed i guess...u want a challenge???
He has his talents. He does not always respond to student's questions but he does give more feedback than other teachers who don't explain why they deduct marks from tests and assignements. He also supplies answers to labs and tests. Why don't all teacher
He spends about 5-10 minutes in the lab. Once everybody buries their face into their monitors, he simply disappears...so...whoever here said that he's helpfull...must be mr. conkic himself because that's simply untrue.
They say he is very nasty to students from his own country ...
Knows his stuff just can't share it with the rest of us.
DO YOUR WORK!!! Study the Notes he gives, the book, attend ALL classes and you'll get an A. You'll learn a lot in his class 'cause you'll be afraid that he'll slap your head if you don't pay attention.
He bugs you to buy the book in every class. He comes to class like he is going to tennis court.Overall ok

Very boring teacher. To pass the Sql part just do the practice exercises everyday. Then you will pass with an A.
So far so good Nebojsa :P

Taught well when there were no soccer games on TV. I wish he spent more time in class going over examples.
pretty good prof, he is funny which makes it easier to pay attention. the sql and oracle stuff is tough but if u read the book and do the stuff in the book u can do well...

He was entertaining but sometimes hard to understand
.....
Best i´ve ever had
A whiz with PL/SQL, and a really funny guy as well. Sometimes his accent is hard to understand, but not often enough to be a big factor. My favourite prof this semester.
Nebojsa Conkic is the one of the best teachers in the Seneca college. His classes always interesting,flexible,relaxing, and fun. He is a talented teacher and very good person.I wish I could take all his classes.
Makes lots of funny, inappropriate jokes. Knows the material.
if you want to learn about his wine (rakia) and football .. this is the place you should be ... have a lot of story and guess what none of them in the exam !!
There is really huge gap between lecture and test. You will be surprised at the final exam.
Huge and deep knowledge of the subject as you will rarely see in other courses. Can't remember anybody else knowing databases so well. The subject is tough and he won't ask vanilla questions, on the other hand it is useful to get such a level of detail. Works hard, is very smart, demands but also shares his knowledge. Pleasant jokes too sometimes.
Nebojsa has very good understanding of the course material and can explain the work in a number of different ways. If there are 8am classes on your schedule be prepared for him to come late every time. His lectures are clear and he can give you good feedback if you ask. There were only 2 tests though so not much preparation for the exam.
He is a pretty generousfair marker, and goes over examples that prepare you for tests. Only problem is sometimes it is hard to follow his explanations. Also difficult to know if you actually understand the material, as tests are the only feedback, and you get mark after the test. Still, as long as you go to class, he provides relevant information.
His lectures are so boring, and he was always late by about 10-15 min. Also he ends the class usually 30-60 min early all the time. Sometimes you ask him a question in the class, he embarrasses you by saying that's a bad question. I got a decent mark in his class, he's an easy marker. I still liked him as a person regardless.
He has an accent, so he can be hard to understand sometimes. The lecture slides (from the course website) are unorganized and havent been updated since 2002. He does NOT use Blackboard and doesnt hand back marked labs (so you wont know if you did them correctly or not). He also doesnt post ANY grades until just before the last drop date.
He is always making jokes in the class in order to try to keep the students interested. Because of this reason some people might find him offensive. If he has a lecture early in the morning, he will be late for sure. You can say that he is not that organize to teach his class and that could be the case. But it is a very knowlegdeable teacher.
He will explain well, but the tests will challenging. You need to study.
Those who are in CTY and CNS dont take this course as a professional option unless you are very very good with database. This course has 2 tests and a final, 3 big assignments, and 10 labs. This is a busy course. Think twice to take this course
Professor is not helpful. He does not teach, but instead asks the class for the answer even though we are there to learn. Notes are very vague and the labs are hard. If you will take his class, make sure you are really familiar with databases. If you need help from the teacher, he can be rude.
Lectures are not really necessary. Just complete all the labs.
This guy is very rude
Had this prof for DBS201. I didn't like him. Stupid examples, not funny jokes. This year had to take DBS301 and it happened that he was teaching the second half of my semester. Frankly, my opinion changed. His lectures were okay and examples were quite good. Also he's a fair graded and will not deduct marks if you missed/misspelled something.
he is hard teacher... I'm in his class right now and i can't understand him
Some people wouldnt really get this subject and the way he teaches. If you skip some lectures, there is almost no other way to prepare for tests. I personally recommend not to take DBA625 as your professional option. Dont risk it if you can.
This is the most difficult course i've taken at Seneca as a CPA student. You had to read complex concepts to pass the midterm. The content material is extremely difficult. The professor's delivery of difficult course concepts was poor. DBS301 was MUCH easier. I recommend to only take this course if your dream is to be a database administrator.
He is okay at explaining, however he is lazy. It doesn't take much effort to understand he hates his job. All he does is read from textbook notes, As if I couldn't do that. Focus on labs and assignments. Be prepared to self-study.
To be honest he is one of the best professor I have ever seen . His teaching style is very unique and always help student to get good knowledge .He ask the things in exam he taught , that is best part of him.
I would not recommend taking this class at all. The professor made it difficult to understand and most of the time he's just reading from the slides.
He's friendly and approachable. You will have to do a lot of reading on your own (like literally 300+ slides), but he does a good job of clarifying concepts if you ask. Be sure to pay attention to topics he makes a point of repeating and easy to overlook details because he likes to put those things on the tests.
Nebosja is a really fair and funny professor. He's got a great sense of humour too. If you attend his lectures and listen to him properly you're surely getting an A. The only way you would fail his class is if you don't pay attention and skip his lectures. He gives out good tips before quizzes and tests too and he's always down to help you out.
Nebojsa is a confident professor that clearly knows what he's talking about. Explains concepts well, and class participation helps the experience, as he's lighthearted with a few jokes thrown into the lecture as well. Very direct in criticisms/feedback, and doesn't beat around the bush. One of the best profs i've had so far.
This is one of the best Professors in Seneca. He knows a lot about SQL, he explains everything in a very clear way. If you don't skipt his classes and pay attention, you will get an A. He is a fair grader, a great human being and very smart Professor.
Easy Grader, good lectures and perfect study material
Explains the material very well and shows mastery of Oracle databases. Considerate with lab if you show up, he will direct you to the right process if your answer is wrong and gives you a chance to correct it so you get a perfect score. Can be lenient with his favorite students and strict with those he doesn't recognize (be careful).
Terrible prof and extremely disrespectful and rude.
When it comes to DBS311 and DBS501, Nebojsa is my go-to-prof. He is more than fair and expects you to do the work. DBS overall is an easy subject and he makes it even easier by his lectures. Find a group of A students and you'll fly through the subject. Nebojsa is firm, so he is great for late 20s and early 30s students. He won't baby you.
A guru in SQL and database. Make sure to study hard if you mean to learn. You will get a good grade and learn a lot. If you don't mean to learn, still recommend to attend his classes for his jokes and sarcasm.
Professor Nebojsa is so underrated. He should have a rating of 6/5. His lectures are a delight to be in, because of his years of experience and humor. Lectures are conducted both online and in-person. Although, coming in-person would give you the best experience. Labs are submitted either in-lab or print-out (no email). Pick him for all DB courses.
Excellent professor but he is retired already. Huge knowknowledge on DB, trying to encourge studnet to learn and clear the concept very well. Lots of teaching experience which is super valuable. Hope he is happy for retirement.
