Sash is a good guy. His tests can be difficult if you're at all unsure about any of the material. But then again, he tells you EXACTLY what's going to be on the test, and he sticks to it. Logan the TA emphasizes even more the material that's covered on the test. This course is a lot of memory work, but I thought it was interesting.

You are getting an overview of a lot of critical cell structural proteins. The names are similar, you have to deal with it, that's what science does to you at times.

Great prof! Took the same course last year and had to drop it because it was too confusing when taught by Kelly.

For 282 (cell bio) Sash's average was high only because they needed to balance kelly's low average midterm.

Teaching: similar to 2382; easy to understand. Midterm/quizzes:Format is MC/SA. Overall really easy midterms and quizzes are easy depending on which TA you get (unfortunately TAs rotate every other class so it can be tough, but not worth as much as midterms.) Final exam: harder than midterms, but having ample time to study can still give you an 80.

He tries his best but at the end of the day makes too many mistakes to be allowed to continue teaching in a professional setting. His exams contain just as many errors as his lectures.

It really takes until the end of the course to see the logic behind its set-up. Sash is a very good lecturer and shows concern for students that you rarely see in a 500+ class.

He is okay in lecture but when it comes to exams what he does is just type it once in Microsoft Word with autocorrect enabled so a lot of words get changed. This would be okay except that he doesn't always read his exams before handing them to students so there's many typos which cost you marks. Outside of lecture he is personable and approachable.

Brutal exam questions. Even if you take the time to read his questions VERY carefully, you'll still be left confused by his ambiguity. He is a good guy and certainly a funny prof at times... but he is NOT a prof you'll want to take, unless he start to improve his questions or curves up the final grades. Otherwise, please avoid and save your sanity

I'm not sure why he teaches... he clearly does not like teaching students, and the animosity he holds when holding office hours is night-and-day compared to Dr. Cumming who actually tries go the extra distance and make you feel interested in the content being taught.

He was a decent profs. His quizzes/exam quesitons were not great tho. There was a question that he gave us for a quiz that most people got wrong because he left out an important detail in lecture that was never touched on. He expected us to know it for the quiz, but then explained it away as our faults for getting it wrong. Total bs

Great prof, clear and delivered with the appropriate amount of sassiness. We must protect him from those students that say they have better things to do than go to your lectures/tutorials. Don't listen to the haters, sash. They just hatin bc they can't be u. #savesash

He is really nice & gives very thorough lectures. I loved his lectures from cell bio 2382 so I decided to take 3338. The course is test-heavy but his questions are fair if you can follow the content well. The content is pretty information dense but with enough preparation and making use of his office hours, I think getting a good mark is feasible.

I enjoy Sashko as a professor. From bio2382 and bio3338 he is very clear about what he wants and not want you to know. A con is he tends to go back and forth between topics often and adds extra information. A lot of people don't really know how to do well in his courses. Understand him on a deeper level, think like the Sashko, be the Sashko.

Very unfair. He will blame YOU for his mistakes and uproot the course syllabus to cover his tracks. We've been using brightspace for a year now, NO EXCUSES for incompetence.

His demeanor is offputting. Instead of recognizing his errors, he blames and (literally) punishes students. He constantly goes on about academic integrity and how its unethical that students use prep101. Maybe students wouldn't HAVE to pay for such expensive resources if your lectures were clear and actually useful???

This professor clearly hates his students and he prays on our downfall. He literally told the class he doesn't want us to get 90s and we should be getting 75s.

Lectures are UNORGANIZED, sometimes repeat his own words in an unorganized pattern. Can be hard to follow sometimes. Blame students for using online/external resources...

Lectures are so unorganized its genuinely embarassing. He loses track of his thoughts, repeats himself constantly. The slideshows are horrible...they don't contain any of the information we need to now, which makes following the lecture very difficult. I just know the final is going to destroy us all. RIP our GPAs

He doesn't care at all about the students, told us that we should not be receiving high grades on his lecture content and doesn't release any feedback to help us improve.

He does a terrible job explaining what he wants us to know for the class. His questions nitpick the most specific parts of lectures. The exam is so difficult so put so much effort into studying for the final. You can do well in the course but it's not because of Sashko, he is a bad prof and it is clear he doesn't want us to do well.

Decent lecturer, but speaks very fast. His part of the course is definitely more engaging. His questions are very hard but fair if you understand and memorize the content thoroughly. I spent more time studying for this class than classes that are considered harder. I liked that he repeated concepts and focused on the bigger picture.
