Always a glorious day with Elena, she gives good lectures that are worth attending. Her tests are quite easy and they're all textbook questions so as long as you do the problem sets in the textbook, you'll do good in the course.

Math 3705 is a fairly easy course, especially if you have Elena. Read the text book, find old test and do the old exams lots and this class should be a easy A!

Comment:

If you didn't take calculus in grade 12 I would recommend that you do not miss any classes, but if you took calc before it should be fairly easy. The tests are all VERY similar to the tests from past years, study those and do all the practice problems. If you ask questions she can make you feel like an idiot. If you need extra help GO TO TA HOURS!

It really helps to take grade 12 calculus and vectors. If you haven't, you'll have to really really work for your grade and you may struggle. She has a teaching style that is either hit or miss, however she does go at a good even pace.

I love Elena a lot! The topics she teaches are usually tough if you miss lectures or don't do the practice, but her lectures are always well-structured. If you attend the lectures, the topics all fit well together in a progressive manner, and you should find the course manageable.

An amazing professor. If you are a hardworking student and she knows that, then she goes above and beyond to help you. Tests are not hard at all, she doesn't pull any tricks. Just do the textbook exercises over and over again, students can pass the course with 80+ easily.

Comment:

You don't have to show up to lectures. All you have to do is practice and do work from the textbook that she wrote. Textbook is a good resource and so are the TA's (mine told me what was on a test) She did switch up test material between first and second semester so be careful when reviewing old tests. She takes best 3/4 .

Tests were easy, Final was easy. She typically uses questions from old tests, with very little tricks. She teaches well and is knowledgable in math.

Comment:

If you have take calc before this class is very easy. She does go over everything from the begining which is great for people with no experince. Pretty clear and tries to make jokes but not very good ones. Tests are fair, no midterm but the final is 60% so study everything from the begining as she makes sure its all equally there.

Prof. Devdariani has a special way of making you feel like an idiot for asking questions. That being said, it's an easy mark if you do the practice problems; just ask a TA if you need help.

Comment:

Easiest class at Carleton. If you do bad in this class, dropout. Practice is key if you arent the best person in Math, but the practice tests are identical to the real tests so practice the **** out of them! Textbook is great for practice and she is really nice and helpful. Stop going to lectures simply because it was so simple.
