bad prof ever had!!!! seriously!!! note and assignment is not the same as midterm and final!!! Also he doesn't seems to know what he is talking about!!!

WORST PROF EVER! He basically reads the book and repeats it poorly in the class. Very unwilling to help the students. We had tutorials up to chapter 5 and a midterm up to chapter 9 and he refused to postpone the midterm or provide ANY source of help. He is unorganised, and a VERY bad prof. Take my word and DO NOT TAKE A COURSE WITH HIM.

He tries to be organized by posting the notes on time but the notes themselves are horribly unorganized! they are summery of the book so if you read the book, you dont need the notes. He beats around the bush alot as well and never gets to the point!! overall, I was not happy with him at all.

Useless Prof. Going to lecture will confuse you even more. Freqently digresses, and complicates Microecon. The textbook is HORRIBLE - wordy, counter-intuitive, and the solutions to practice probs are incomprehensible. Overall,very bad prof & course.

He lacks professionalism and shouldn't be a prof. ALWAYS late and never organized. Nor comprehensible. He basically summarizes the text, but screws that up even. Read your text and don't bother going to lecture, him and his TAs are a joke. He's a prima donna as well, watch for him to "feel sick" and end lecture early when you question him too much

shouldn't be considered a prof. doesn't teach the course at all, just summarizes the book. questioned him on MT, admits that i am right but provides "partial" marks although I'm 100% correct. also questioned an assignment and admits to be wrong yet unwilling to change my mark. TERRIBLE prof. DONT TAKE HIM IN ANY COURSE.

One of the worst profs ever! Went to the first couple of classes but stopped going altogether after a while. All he does is summarize the book, but does that poorly as well. I asked him a question once and he managed to talk for a long time without answering it. If you do take this course with him just read the book on your own.

I took his macro class in fall 2008. There's absolutely NO POINT in going to his classes. You can't understand anything he says, especially when he just takes words straight from the textbook. The textbook was clear, reader-friendly, and does a much better job explaining than he does. But i have to admit, his class and exams were quite easy.

Worst prof i had in SFU, All his notes are from txt book package he bought. No one ever shows up to his classes. His exams are pretty easy. 15 mc 5 written. MEMEORIZE ALL FORMULAs if you wanna do well in his class. Im supprise they haven't kicked him out of sfu yet.

Terrible prof. Hard to understand, irrelevant stuff covered in class. Rarely went past 2nd week. Learned everything from the book.

DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM!He can't speak english, and he doesn't make sense when talks. If you want to undestand this class just read the textbook. The TA's were no help at all either. Horrible communication and lack of organization.

Do not take economics with him!!! He is terrible. He isn't passionate at all. He didn't give a course outline and didn't mention about our grade system. TAs also didn't know what was going on. He didn't curve or scale our grade even if the class average was 50%!!. If you hesitate to take the course with him, believe me and do not take with him!!!!!

Marking harsh, comes late, starts even later, speaks 50% english 50% russian and speaks quite as !@!#, boring, thinks he is funny with random f-ed up jokes... TA's are useless just as much as him. 24/45 average on the midterm for the class! Hope this class is scaled!

he cannot teach. period. worst professor i have ever taken a class with. you get this feeling like he teaches but doesn't want to be there. on midterm class average was just about 50% and he said he "maybe" will scale it. he f-ing better or half or more of the class will fail

He seemed like he gave up teaching at the end of the semester. Super disorganized and didn't inform the TAs at all. Questions on exams were vague, but he did repeat some from the practice tests, so watch for that. Killed my interest in ECON.

He doesn't explain anything well. If you ask him to explain something he doesn't answer questions. His exams are based on sample questions he gives you, which seems easy, but his marking is ridiculous! He will mark something wrong for one student and mark it right for another student even when they wrote the exact same thing! Try and avoid this pro

(Game Theory) He didn't seem to care about this class at all. Average on the midterm was 8/20 - which he says is 'normal' for his classes. He shows up late and posts assignments, tutorial questions, notes and midterm review late as well. He doesn't communicate well enough with his TAs. Math is needed although not a pre-req! Avoid at all costs.

Horrible lectures, boring and disorganized. Attendance steadily decreased to about 30% by november. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Dont take his course

I am currently taking his class online and he is definitely the worst prof I have ever had. He gradually became worse over the semester. He started forgetting to post the lectures and would post the assignments 2 days before they're due when he said he'd post it a week before. Also, he has given us 0 info about the final and it's in a few days.

His assignments and quizzes are pretty easy, but it's the midterm and the final that drag down your grade a lot. However, his teaching style + lectures are terrible and he puts no effort into helping students. I sent him an email question right after the midterm, and he replied after the final. He also does not round, even 0.01%. Overall, bad prof!

the course itself is easy, concepts are not too hard. however, my rating is solely of the prof, not the course. i would go lower than one but there isn't an option for that. he definitely does not care about his quality of teaching or his students. would not recommend. actually, i would recommend staying away from this prof

I took 2 online classes with him at the same time. Give you no chance to improve your grade since 5-6 assignments decide 50% the weight of your grade! Doesn't reply email, doesn't post assignment key on time, doesn't make any effort to prevent cheating. He is cool, but annoying as a prof. If you're hesitating, DO NOT take him please.

I am serious about my studies I had bad profs. I took his class last semester. I think it was my worst experience with a prof at SFU. The course concept is fairly simple, but the teaching provided is terrible. There is no point in attending the lectures, pure waste of time nothing beneficial. Exams are way too hard for 100 level introductory course

Taking this during COVID. Worst prof. Very thick accent hard to understand. Absolutely horrible lectures, doesnt practically teach you relatable course material. You need to self-teach on google. Midterm questions werent taught in class not directly from the textbook. Hes SO LAZY and doesnt physically teach/make slides. Doesnt reply to emails.

He's a cool guy, but you must read the textbook. His lectures never made much sense. His midterms were terrible, not enough time is given to effectively read and answer questions. Had him in person couple years ago, was a lot better then. Plus easier tests in person. SFU also criticized him for being "too easy" so now, he is becoming more difficult

This class is brutal online. Super disorganized. Prof doesnt respond to emails, TA's don't really know what's going on. You'll think you did everything right and somehow the average is 50%. The lectures are useless, nothing is on time. No class examples and overall, you're looking at a C before you get started.

Don't do it. He is never present. Prof doesn't respond to emails. He doesn't really teach and its just ridiculous.

This prof is the worst as he doesnt give out any clear information, neither does he explain important concepts. He expects you already know everything, get ready to study on your own. Best to avoid this prof.

By far the worst professor I have ever encountered. Avoid at all costs. I would give him a zero if I could. How this man has a job at a university is beyond me.

Maybe he has the knowledge but he is definitely not qualified for teaching. The worst prof ever in the history. He will not respond to emails of all kinds. He seems nice and easy going but don't let that fool you. He only cares about his soccer games.

Professor Vasyl or Basyl was the worst prof I've had at SFU. He is an irresponsible professor who gives a rats ass about the students. Clearly he is busy with other priorities and doesn't seem like he is interested in being a professor. He is supper unaccessible to the students, will not reply emails! He does not communicate well about anything.

Although exams are not difficult compared with other courses, the professor is disorganized and does not communicate with students very well. For example, he did not upload assignments and quizzes until the due date, and he makes many mistakes during lectures. I even found mistakes on the answer key of assignments but no announcement. horribleprof

Dont take any class with this professor. Never replys to emails, late or forgets to post assignments and quiz, office hours are very inconvenient, no powerpoint and notes, doesnt take students seriously, and makes difficult tests to lower grade.

He was the worst professor I have ever studied before. He's tough in grading. There were no activities during online class and no sense of motivation while you were studying. some professors motivate you to pass the course or involve you in some kind of activities regarding the course but he doesn't do anything like this.

Not organized

Does not provide any kind of notes, I would never take his classes ever again. His classes were confusing and basically told you to learn from a textbook, doesn't provide actual help for getting through this course.

Quizzes gave you two attempts which was nice. Assignments weren't that hard. Unfortunately terrible professor and awful course designer. Really didn't feel like this course had a professor even, rather feeling like everyone just had a textbook, and had to figure it out

This class felt like it was made in the 50s before professors had access to technology. The lack of actual teaching in this course is baffling. The standard of teaching in this course would be too low for Somalia. The fact that SFU is contempt with this level of teaching shows why they're in a financial crisis. Nice guy though

Horrible and unorganized lectures. All of your learning will come from the textbook. Picking up anything from lectures is extremely difficult. The way he teaches is incomprehensible, outdated, and confusing. Avoid his class at all costs.

If satan or vasyl was teaching this class, take it with satan cuz tbh this class is literal hell

Basil seems like a cool guy but his lectures are hard to follow. If you intend on showing up to class sit close because he doesnt even speaks into his microphone. The textbook is very good and will be your best friend. TA is also very helpful but attendance was not mandatory. Exam included questions that were on none of the practice material or hw.

I would rather watch paint dry than take another class with Vasyl. If you like lectures based off a textbook and sexist jokes then he is the teacher for you. He is so boring and is not a great lecturer. You can learn everything by reading the textbook.
