He's really nice. He tries to make the material easy to understand (even though the material is difficult) and he'll clarify things for you personally if you ask him after class. He is sometimes hard to understand, but it's not too bad. He'll also make jokes every once in a while which keeps things light and fun.

He is very helpful and try to make very difficult materials easy. Its hard to understand him sometimes, but his always there when you need help. The course itself is very hard. He try everything to help his students to get good grades. the quizes mentioned below were given to help students to boost their grade.

Not an easy class & requires lots of studying. Lectures are taken almost directly from text. Tests mostly mult choice. Final is created by dept chair. I felt it was very vague and more difficult than class exams. Lab practicals are difficult. I enjoyed this class & would take BY32 with him if he taught. Prof always avail for extra help. Grade = A

At first i thought he was kind of a freak but NOT At All..He explains everything.. I love it and in the labs you actually undestand EVErYthing..not like other teachers where they show u the stuff n ur on ur own. HE makes shure everyone is on the same level..easy pase.. LOVe it!!

very good professor, extremely helpful in the lab, tests are not too hard if you study. A&P is not an easy couse, so read the textbook, ask questions (office hours are there for u!) and you'll be fine. good luck!

He is the nicest person & so helpful! I had him for Bio and he was very clear and made the material pretty easy. If you study you will do well with him. Love the accent!!

I had him in spring, i have gotten a B+ in his class. he gives 2 extra credit. Which are test corrections for the first and second test correction. I wouldnt say his tests for THAT easy,but def not hard. you just have to study the material. even though most of the material on the test is base on the power points that he gives in class. but a couple

A little difficult to understand at first, nice as anything and very willing to give the extra help where needed. I felt that he definitely should review a lot more than he did...it basically was ask me a question, I am not going over what I just taught you. Study the pp's, book used very little...maybe 1 or 2 questions from the book on test.

Jurokovski's a pretty decent guy and seeing him during his office hours really helps, but he really needs to learn how to give a decent test review. I ended up having to withdraw from his class, which he will allow you to do on the last day of class without a problem. If you need to take Modern Bio, I recommend someone else, like Professor Honey.

Basically... Anatomy and Physiology is a very hard class, regardless of the professor. So I think it is unfair to say that he himself is hard. Frankly, I thought he was what you should expect to take the class. Accent is negligible for the most part, but can be very fun at times :D

Easy A. Take this class and the professor always wants to help. You don't even have to go to class, a lot of it is just basic common sense - no studying either. Final is pretty good as long as you go to the review sessions before.

One of the best Profs I have ever had. Tough course, and a lot of work. Good sense of humor, moderate accent, allows test correction for extra credit on 1st 2 exams. Good prep for Department final, does not review well for his own exams. Use the website that comes with text for drilling material. Wish I could get him for A&P 2. Tough but fair

Vlad is awesome- he is funny and very knowledegble. If you study what he says you will do well. He will help you if you need it. Wish he taught more courses.

Class is hard no matter what teacher you have. Vlad is great and funny dry sense of humor. I wish he taught A&P2 and other biology courses.

Although he has an accent, it's not hard to understand him. He is thorough with notes. Uses a projector always. Will answer any question, how ever dumb the question may be. Tests are easy if you STUDY. Though i didn't have him for lab, I was told by other students who did have him that he was good. He keeps to the notes when giving tests.

He is a good professor. He is very helpful and will wants you to ask him questions. it is a hard class so you wont pass unless you really study. If you dont understand anything ask him he is more than wiling to help. Tests are fair and moslty from the notes. If you dont put in the work you will not pass. good teacher would take him again.

Great professor. Subject matter is very difficult, but he makes it understandable. Tests are hard and you have to really study to get an A, but he gives you lots of opportunities for extra points. I also had him for lab and he was excellent.

One of the best professors! That`s true,subject is very hard,but not him. Testa are from slides he uses always.Overall,you want good grade-work hard for it and you will get.

He is awesome BIO teacher! That`s true,the subject is difficult,but not him.You will pass the class if you study it hard.Overall,you want good grade-work hard for it and you will get.

great professor for a&p 1! has VERY hard tests, but is willing to help you succeed! :)

Very helpful, uses powerpoint(which are posted on his website before each lecture), board and animations. He's a little strict about texting in class but it helps because you don't want to miss anything in this class.. Makes lab fun there's a few online hws but theyre easy and help you understand everything. I'd definitely take him again! :)

great prof. but very hard course. He will do everything in his power to help you pass but you have to spend massive amounts of time studying. There is no possible way to make course easy you have to work. Grades fairly and uses powerpoint. MAKE SURE YOU STUDY THE TEXTBOOK, NOT JUST THE NOTES.

Excellent teacher. Very accessible. This is a very tough course - if you are not committed, don't take it. He gives HW via the textbook's web site, which helps you keep up with the material. As he warned during the initial session, if you fall behind with THIS course, you're compromising your grade. He has a great sense of humor,which helps.

Awesome teacher, very understanding and helpful. Uses powerpoints alot gives good videos to explain the harder parts of the class.

Absolutely my favorite professor at Suffolk. This is the second class I've taken with him. He's awesome. Very very knowlegable in this subject and very helpful. Will explain something until you understand it.

He is a great teacher just very boring. In a class where you need to pay attention its very hard to keep your eyes open. My biggest complaint is his tests if he talks for an hour on a subject there will be one question on it.

Excellent professor. His class is extremely difficult, but if you go over his slides and utilize learn smart and all of the on line resources that go along with the text book, you will do fine. I learned a lot in his class and would take him again, if he taught BIO 132.

Prof. Jurukovski knows what he is talking about, and definitely was more than willing to help a student in need. He knows how to have fun, too, and cracks some corny jokes every so often. The tests are difficult but come right from the lecture notes and the textbook. Allows test corrections on the first two tests which can help boost your grade up.

Very VERY challenging course. I think most students failed it. But the professor is very good. Beware of the departmental final exam. It's cumulative and the questions are very detailed.

I loved him! He is a great guy and really wants everyone to succeed! I recommend him, but you really have to study. He has no problem answering questions and helping you out. He is brilliant and he really tries to keep you interested in the topic. TAKE HIS CLASS!!

one of the best BIO professors at SCCC! go for him!

LOVE THIS MAN! I have him for lab and lecture and I enjoy it so much. He connects the teachings to real life example. He even cracks jokes about a lot of things, including his own balding. Sometimes lessons get boring but his accent keeps it interesting. To any bad ratings: His class is hard because the subject is hard, it isn't him as a teacher.

Really Great Professor, he is extremely intelligent and wants everyone in the class to do well. He cracks jokes, and makes the information relatable. Barely any homework, just study the slides he goes over and you will do fine

Forensics Biology is only offered in the spring. I am an aspiring nurse so did not need this class. I thought it would be fun. It was, but also lots of work. Best if you're both very methodical and like to solve puzzles. Highly recommended.

ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! Nicest person you'll ever meet. He's so friendly and helpful. Makes class fun and interesting. I've taken him for 3 biology classes already. I'm sad I can't take him for every class I need for my degree!!

he is very good teacher and very knowledgeable. memorize the slides he gives and analyze it and also practice on learnsmart then you will be fine.

Ok. First. DO NOT take this class if you aren't ready to work your butt off for a good grade. Prof. J is awesome and funny, but he is very challenging. READ YOUR CHAPTERS! his lectures are just generalizations of the text! You have to be completely awake for his classes. don't be afraid to ask questions, THATS HOW YOU SUCCEED!

Really hard class but if you go to his office hours,read the textbook and study you will pass. Show an effort and he will help you. Always answers emails and his lectures are always what makeup the test so review them and read overall I liked him.

He is one of my best professors. He has good power point slides & animations to make his lessons clear. His lecture hand-outs are nice & clear. TAKE NOTE: his exams are really hard. It will squeeze your brain. His bonus questions will help. You have to make an effort to get an A. I had him in BIO-130 last semester. I was very happy to get an A.

fun course alot of hard work to get a good grade the text book is not even needed for the course. Make sure u have a good group to work with and you should be fine with lab.

Pf. Jurukovski was a great teacher, although this was a VERY VERY tough coarse. he is willing to help you in whatever you may need but you need to let him know. He is funny and he always reminds you to do assignments and study. I recommend to those who will only put their absolute effort. because the tests are difficult and detailed.

This professor is good!, but the course is very hard. He is a very hard grader and expects a lot from his students.Everything has to be done in a specific way. Lecture tests are hard, but allows test correction which is a plus! I would not recommend to take him if this will be your first bio class in college unless ur willing to work ur butt off!

I think that he overall is a great teacher, like you can tell he loves the subject. However, his tests are so hard. i studied with the smartest kids in the class and even they were blown away as to ho hard they were. Labs were my worst nightmare. Seriously won't read if graph is wrong or not all typed up and the online hw. But overall I liked him.

Jurukovski is a great proffessor. Very knowledgeable man with extensive and impressive background. Willing to help students frequently at his office hours. Tests are difficult, but not impossible. Read textbook over and over, as well as the powerpoints. Other than pure laziness, there shouldn't be any other reason why you can't get an A.

He is one of the smartest guys you'll ever meet. But he is very very tough. Participation in class is a must. Test are hard. He asks a lot of questions if no one participates he picks on people. And he takes notes on who answer who did not. He throws corny jokes sometimes. That Makes the class laugh a little. You have to study in order to pass!

He gives a clear syllabus off the bat. He does use his powerpoints for everything. The tests are 50 questions and id say about 10-15 make you think, but you should know what your doing if your interested in this subject matter anyhow. Study all the connect lessons, make flash cards, and read all powerpoints and youll pass. Enjoyed the class overall

Not an easy class, but he makes lecture interesting with random bits of info. Gives test corrections that are easy to do. Also, if you need help just go to his office hours. He's extremely helpful and a very nice guy

Very Nice man overall I took him for Genetics and he was nice and offered take home corrections on exams. Tough class but there for you if you need him. no complaints

Bio 1 & A&P 1. Tough classes, but if you take advantage of the office hrs he makes available you will suceed. He offers test corrections for the first 2 tests. No extra credit what-so-ever. KNOW YOUR INFO INSIDE AND OUT and you will pass. Plan to dedicate 2 hrs studying for every 1 hr of lecture. Quizlet is your BFF. Very nice man.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Yes, it is a difficult class, and yes, you need to study. If you put the time and effort in, attend class, pay attention, then you should be fine. Don't expect to slack off and get a grade that you don't deserve. Extremely intelligent, funny, and helpful. I would definitely take him again.

I have taken Dr. Jurukovski for three seperated classes and as always he was very knowledgable in every topic, BIO 150, BIO 130 and BIO 262. Tough teacher & doesn't accept slacking off or students who do not take the class seriously & don't do the work in class and lab. Study on a weekly basis to do well in his classes. His office hrs are helpful!

Great professor. Gives power points, explains them during lecture and any questions you have. my advise is to sit in the front of the class. go over the power points at least 3 to 5 times each and it will eventually stick. this is a hard class you need to study and do the home work. also gives extra credit on tests. online HW is very helpful.

3 lecture tests plus a cumulative final, First two he allows test corrections. 2 lab tests and 2 lab reports, only one is graded. The hardest labs have the reports so you learn the material. Weekly online homework. He replies to email quickly, walks you though each lab, EXTRA CREDIT GIVEN ON ALL TESTS. Clear grading, Hard subject, GREAT TEACHER

Great man and professor. BIO150 isnt easy at all, but if you go to all lectures and pay attention during labs as well, you are bound to pass. No complaints on his teaching, he knows what he's doing. Only complaint is he is extremely demanding when grading, you have to be extremely tedious, particularly in lab. You definitely have to earn your grade

Only 2 lab exams, a midterm and a final, and only 1 large lab report that was graded. Lab is 1/3 of the total class grade and the lecture class itself isn't too bad- he teaches a lot of material that seems really difficult but doesn't make the tests as hard. Test corrections available on the first 2 tests and will do well as long as you study.

Many people do not like this professor simply because it's a hard class & he makes you work for your grade. You HAVE to study to do well. He is a great teacher, but boring. He gives test corrections and allows you to drop the class at any time during the semester. He's very funny and his accent is easy to understand. His tests can be difficult.

Be prepared to work for this prof/class. Tests are the majority of the grade and they can be pretty difficult. He allowed test corrections for the first two and counts your worst as only 10% of your test average. Overall I think he was very fair and extremely knowledgeable. Study throughout the semester or it's too much material.

If you do the work, you'll do great. It's a heavy workload but it prepares you for the exams. He is highly informed on what he's teaching and cares about the material, which in turn translated to him having thorough and decent lectures. He cared about what he was doing, and was willing to work with you if you approached him. His accent is a bonus.

Dr. Jurukovski is extremely knowledgeable in A & P. He assigns helpful HW through Connect. Some exam questions are directly from HW. He also gives opportunity for feedback & extra points via exam corrections. He was very fair & also fair in expecting students to regularly attend. Keep up with the reading, do Connect self-study. You've got this!

He's hilarious. Very good at explaining things. He's quite approachable once you get used to the way he teaches.

Great professor class was difficult and definitely a challenge but worth it. He knows his stuff and is a great professor.

I took Professor Jurukovski's class online during the pandemic. He is easily accessible outside of class and very approachable. He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches. The tests can be difficult and he makes the worst grade 10%. Be prepared to study hard for this class. As long as you review the material throughout the semester you'll pass.

Out of all 4 years of college, this was the most difficult course thats ive taken in years but this professor seriously made the difference. This is a course you MUST study everyday for! His notes are his guidelines for exams and USE THEM. He really sets you up for success in this class if you are studying everyday and are putting in the effort

Dr.Jurukovski is a great professor! He gives clues as to what will be on the exams and does whatever he can to help you pass. No HW other than study the labs from class. Study everything that is in BOLD in the Lab textbook, this will help on his exams. Has a great sense of humor. All in all I would take him again.

Challenging but rewarding class with a great professor. Attend lectures, study lab materials, and use resources like unstuckstudy to succeed. Exams require detailed knowledge, but the professor is helpful and has a good sense of humor.

I took him for forensic bio and this class was definitely a challenge so if you're looking for an easy A, this isn't the class for you. I liked his teaching style and how he structured his tests. He felt like a true professor, the kind you'd expect to have at a 4-year college. If you're serious about learning and want to be challenged takethisclass
