great tecaher

Excellent slides, no need to attend lectures, but attending is like replacing your studying. Very helpful outside of class...Human Beings, in General, hate it when students blab away during the lecture, its sooooo disrespectful to both the prof and other students. Those who blab, tend to do poorly!

Bad (and immature) students will always have bad comments... Excelent course, great teaching, you need to go to class because he mentions details that are not always in his slides. Final exam was hard, but if you study hard (meaning you are a good student) you will get your A.

Granted the thick russian accent is hard to get over at first, this teacher is great, his lectures are well organised. Go to classes, listen and study the slides, youll do great. BTW, he is approchable while hes chillin, just do it diplomatically. Thanks to him, cell biology is romantic to me.

He puts every little detail into his exams, which are hard. You get used to the accent after a few weeks and then the class gets interesting, he is a good lecturer, tells some interesting stories. If you know the notes *inside out* you'll do well, but it IS a hard class I'll admit.

Not bad teacher. Accent takes a week to get used to, but you ajust. Just reads his Powerpoint slides during lecture, but expands on and clarifies them. Some stuff he says is in the midterm and final too, so print the lectures and go to class! Don't talk though, he gets annoted (and it really is annoying!). Final a killer if class talked too much!

MEMORISE HIS POWERPOINT LECTURES! Some of the stuff that he says in class is included on the final too. So suck it up, go to class, get used to the accent, and watch him be embarrassingly cute (heavy on the embarrassing). Tries to be funny, but just ends up mumbling his way through weird off-sides. Hence the cute, and embarrassing.

best biology teacher by FAR!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, EASY , FUN , INTERESTING COURSE, AMAZING NOTES!!!!

great!

He's a great teacher. He's cool. Read, understand and memorize the powerpoint notes, and you will do very very well! Go to class and listen: that helps you study!

Incredible slides, just know them in detail and you will get an A. Don't buy the book! A waste of money.

Most students who took BIOL266 with him probably never realized how nice he was with students. Although the slides are very well organized it still takes efforts to do well in the course. Absolutely one of the most sympathetic profs of the most unsympathetic teaching business of conU.

he is goofy but good hearted. don't you dare and talk during his lectures. study the slide..no..memorize the sh1@ out of them, the smallest compound name that shows once in one slide he will ask, a diagram that comes up once be able to reproduce it. the slide are kick ass i use them as a reference now.

Very nice prof, fair course, he likes to joke, his slides are your bible for the course, don't bother buying the textbook (tho you might need it for higher level classes), if you memorize the slides, you're good to go, I'd rec you guys attend his lectures just to keep up to date but it's not mandatory. Have fun!

awesome prof, really nice and good teaching

Dr. Titorenko is a great professor. However, his tests are long and difficult and require a lot of studying and preparation. If you study hard, there's no reason not to get at least an A in this course. You can't not study and expect to get good grades. Study hard and you'll be rewarded.

Dr. T is nicer than you'd think. Know his slides like the back of your hand - that's all he tests on. It is a relatively easy A but you HAVE to make sure you know the slides. 2 Midterms were easy - final is really tricky. KNOW your signalling pathways. Mention aging whenever you can that's what he researches.

Excellent prof. Exams are straightforward. Either you know it or you dont. Demands lots of memorization but that's cell biology. Slides are very good, well presented. His accent requires a bit more focus to understand, but hes very interesting and makes good jokes in class. Overall loved this prof. Strongly recommended to take him for cell bio

He is excellent! A true professor, knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic about biology. Love his class and have learned a lot!

This class is very intense in memorization. There's no textbook, just memorize his slides... every single one. His lectures are pretty boring but he does help elaborate on the slides so class attendance is beneficial. He's pretty generous with his grading but tests are extremely hard and long so you need to know the material well.

His class is all about the slides. No text book. The questions are very straightforward and literally copied and pasted directly from his slides. You need to memorize everything but at least there are no trick questions. If you study you can do fantastic.

Such a nice guy! Definitely memorize all the slides (never used the book). The midterms are around 25 multiple choice ?'s and like over 10 short answer questions, so you have to know your stuff. Go to his office hours for help-he's really helpful!

Probably best prof in bio department at ConU. Memorize his slides and you will get your A. Makes you understand cell biology. His makes his slides from scratch, doesn't use other images from textbooks. Very talented prof. Nothing but good things to say about him except his bad breathe. Exams are straightforward and easy if you memorize everything

He makes cell bio so easy to understand if you can get past his accent. He makes his own slides and as long as you memorize every pixel you will get an A+ guaranteed. He doesn't trick you and is very straight forward in his questions. usually half multiple choice half short answers. Only bad thing is, he's a very harsh grader!

if you are a good parrot, that is memorize and spit everything out at the exams you have an A + guaranteed. EMPHASIS ON MEMORIZE, E.V.E.R.Y. SINGLE DETAIL from his slides.

How does making you memorize every single detail on a bunch of slides make the teacher anything but incompetent? Yes, it's possible for you to get your A if you put in the effort, but this is far from what education should be like. Classic example of an old fashioned lecturer. You don't actually retain anything past the couple hours of your exam.

Cell bio is about mechanisms and memorization! Be prepared! There's no other way in cell bio, than to understand mechanisms. This prof gives you everything. You can find all the information summarized in the slides, just learn everything and you'll get an A+.

Very nice teacher, replies to your questions fast through email and provides great explanations. Cell bio (266) is in itself a full loaded course, and there is a lot to memorize. You don't need to show up to class though, since tests are directly out of power points. If you can manage to memorize everything, you will get an A+.

highly recommend taking this prof. notes are posted and clear and easy to understand. Do not waste your time attending class. Everything you need to know is on the slides, no textbook needed. 2 Midterms are fair but the final is more difficult and cumulative but if you study every single detail of the slides you can get an A

Amazing teacher. His tests are a bit difficult but they never stray from his powerpoint. Never a question he won't answer, and always encourages them.

I liked Vlad. He was pretty funny,answered questions VERY thoroughly. His slides are very concise and helpful. Just study them, you don't really have to come to class. Man o man his tests are hard though.I applaud his ability to make a tough test. Very tough MC and short answers are not always very short. Love his slides though so id recommend.

Here's the truth: cell bio is a hard class. It doesn't matter if Titorenko or God is teaching it. You need to memorize every detail or you won't do well. That being said, his slides are amazing. MEMORIZE THEM. You don't need to read the textbook but it really helps. I blew the midterm and still got an A. As for his accent - you'll get over it.
