Great Prof
this guy is hilarious. but nevertheless great.
Great Prof, very helpful.
The guy's pure jokes...funny accent, reminds me of a wrestler; excellent prof!
Hey man, Zorro rules. he kicks...
Damn, he must have improved since he taught 119 in summer 2000.
funny prof, cares about his students.
funny
best prof so far.. cares immensely about students
i don't care what he says, he MUST be a chess master
It's a squirrel, it's a heart, no it's a dummy variable!
Great prof. Really cares about his students!

Tries very hard. His bad jokes are funny
ONLY PROF WHO CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS
Keep your fingers away from the cage, kids.
bleh - if only he had more OH to help those less skilled

Co(g)ito Ergo Sum!

Really cares for his students. Yells when he says LIMIT!
A bit hard to understand, but really caring about students...
Very helpful - come to tutorial. Really cares about his students.
Nice guy. Really knows his calculus and I think I will too by finals.
enjoys calc a little too much..... "HIGH SCHOOL!"
Insightful, helpful, brilliant, actually cares about his students. Bravo.
Smart, funny. Really helpful. Excellent lectures! He is cool!
ZORRO! Remember: 1 = unity and Limit = Leeemit. Provided many help sessions.
pretty good explanations. excellent board notes.

Zoran is one of the best Calculus prof I've ever met!
Knows his stuff, and puts in a lot of extra time to help us.

Funny & entertaining, likes to "focus" too much
can be rude but also very helpful
Wasn't my course or prof. Went to his lectures though and did great!
"Find the leemit as x approaches" . Funny guy and quite helpful
The coolest prof i've had. Hilarious.
Super nice!! Loves teaching the subject. He really cares too.
He is the best Calc prof after Tenti. Pretty cool! 1 of my favs
'though it may not be obvious at first, Zoran has 'mad' teaching skills!
clear, concise

Legend on campus. Sneaky, but nice nice nice. Just ask for help. Don't whistle!!
you'll probably appreciate him more after the course is over... decent guy
cool guy
enthusiastic, willing to help. But what has kissing to do with limits? pi h
he totally spoke at my level. he covered the material in the depth needed.
Best prof I had this term.
KNOWS his Calculus, and his lectures are never dull.
He liked our class, so it was easy, and he was sort of funny, but definitely not an exceptional educator
very awesome guy, good lectures, well explained material (stop talking in class and you'll hear him) and very helpful outside of class, fair exam
Excellent
The guy cares about his classes, which is damn rare. Also can drink pretty much anyone under the table.
He seldom prepares for the lectures and is quite disorganized
zoran is one of those misunderstood geniuses. he knows everything there is to know about math... his daughter is pretty sexy too... kind of looks like him. -duca
absolutely useless lectures. this person has no idea how to taech engineers - but the nerds from math might love him though. i assume he is a great scientist but an awful teacher. his answer to the question makes the question even more confusing. he focuses on useless theory which you never apply on exam. midterm reflects assignments closely.
Zoran is a great prof for Quantum. He knows the material like the back of his hand. His lectures are well organized and motivated. He was really helpful outside of class, too. Overall a great experience. I would absolutely recommend this prof.
Good initially, then when the hard stuff hit everything became somewhat incomprehensible. He is very good at giving applied examples, which is fantastic coz you see a use for what you are learning.
Zoran has many qualities of a great professor, but there are areas in which he needs improvement. He doesn't motivate material, nor does he make the problems feel physical/real. To me, this course is simply applied calculus and linear algebra. Despite getting high assignment and midterm marks, I have little understanding of quantum mechanics.
Very long and difficult assignments, midterm was easy but the final was incredibly hard. Very hard to follow / keep up with him in lectures, he goes fast.
A nice and reasonable man. But his teaching was so confusing. He usually starts his lecture from nowhere without explaining what is going to do and why.
Zoran's lectures are generally very difficult to follow, with no clear outline as to the topic or point. Our assignments were stupidly long and much too difficult. His exams were definitely challenging but not impossible. Would reccomend getting a solid textbook if you have him. Incredibly nice guy, though, so office hours were useful too.
Difficult assignments, very easy midterm, pretty hard final. Lectures were hard to follow (went to maybe a fifth of them though). Nice guy. Learned a lot from the course, though.
He's not the clearest guy in the world.
I don't know why but I do not follow his lectures at all, even if I try to review every lecture after I got home. I am always so lost and have no idea what he's talking about. :(
his accent is confusing. his lecture is confusing. very little help when it goes to the project!
Zoran is a really nice guy, but his lectures jump all over the place. One minute, it's stochastic processes. The next, it's physics, physics, engineering, physics, more stochastic processes, stuff about dust particles... There's no cohesiveness. Engineering students might like it because of his penchant for physical motivation, but I didn't.
Dr. Miskovic is a really good professor. He does have a strong accent, but it is not bad at all. I enjoyed my classes with him. He is a nice guy, he cares about his students and he provides them with help for the project. With a physics background, I enjoyed his stochastic class.
His lectures are very confusing. Tends to be unorganized and his accent makes it more difficult to follow.
Zoran was funny and engaging but quiet and hard to hear at times. Overall great guy but try to sit near the front to hear him.
Zoran Miskovic and a great professor are like Brownian motion - Nowhere differentiable (with probability 1 a.s.)
4th year student who took this course with him and received my lowest mark in university. His final exam was harder than the assignment questions.
He is one of the worst professors the university of waterloo has to offer. Very disorganized, lectures are essentially useless as you learn nothing from attending. Accent very thick. Midterm and final were brutal. Assignments do not reflect lectures whatsoever. Horrible teacher, but a pretty nice guy
Not sure what happened with him and our class but he was very passive aggressive - openly mentioned a few times how he was surprised our class didn't know how to graph hyperbolas. Also has a particular aggressive tone when asking for his help after class. Our class had a mutual dislike with him. Don't know what happened.
First time AMath231 is offered online due to COVID-19 I guess. The recorded lectures are pretty clear and concise (although the written notes sometimes could be hard to read) and very logical explanation by Prof Miskovic. The assignments are pretty easy if you understand the lectures content well.
Zoran is clearly unfit to teach Amath 373, he didn't release any grades until the final stretch of the course. He didn't provide any help, did not say what the final was on, nor was the final fair at all. 4 of the questions were not from the course in any way. Take quantum physics 2 not this course. Although I got a good grade, I learned nothing.
Professor Zoran's lectures were very hard to follow. I often resorted to self-studying from his online notes - which his handwriting made a bit challenging - or from the textbook. I will say though that he's very caring, if the class collectively asks for an extra day on the assignment he'll grant it. His tests were relatively easy if you study,
