She is one of those rare profs who truly teaches. To get a good grade: -write and understand all the answers to her inclass excersises, becuase for sure they will be in the midterm and the final. -if you go to her office hours she will help you.

She is the best and safest prof to take course. Explains clearly each and every concept. Helps students in office hours. If you want to do database then there is no alternative. Go to her class and do the home work, you will get A+. I guarantee it.

She is by far the most competent professor at York. Attend class, do as she says, and you will get an excellent grade. Unlike other profs, she wants her students to do well! Just show her you're willing to put in the effort and learn.

Comment:

Her accent is HORRIBLEHer slides only have the question, no correct answer there at all! If you email her, she will refuse to give you the answer. So if you missed a class or get distracted in the class, she wouldn't help you at all. She thinks you deserve to fail. So get ready to the worst accent in the history, and pray you can memorizr everyword

Very helpful person, very nice professor who knows what she's teaching. If you focus on the assignments and talk to her every now and then, an A is pretty easy to achieve.

She does not connect the information she spews out from the slides in any logical way during her lecture. It's impossible to listen to. I wish she would stand next to my bed while Im trying to fall asleep and give me a lecture.

Comment:

Marina is a great professor she knows how to teach a course well and cares about what she teaches. I like that she can admit when she is wrong and pick back up where she left off. Sometimes her explanations can be a little hard to understand as she tends to ramble but go to her officer hours for help,it will help you!

She is the most intelligent prof at IT and always willing to help. Amazing professor. She should be the department head of ITEC at York. Students who are lazy will not do well, If you are lazy you wont get anywhere with the DB.

Comment:

She can be disrespectful at times. When my friend went to her office during the office hours, not only she did not answer his legitimate question, but she told him to go out! If you're an IT student, there is no way to avoid her class. So try to bear with: hard accent, rudeness, low temper, and random accusations.

Comment:

Gets angry when students don't grasp concepts right away, even though she's taught the SAME course for well over 10 years. Very unprofessional. Lectures students to read readings and to use office hours, instead of actually covering content. YouTube and Google helped more than her sadly. Just use her older websites where she posts solutions.

Comment:

Although Marina is professional, her lectures are boring and does a poor job of explaining course concepts especially after the midterm. Most of the concepts I had to learn on my own, or thru online websites. Unfortunately, she is the only one who teaches this course and do not recommend this Prof.

I like this prof. I could say that she is one of the best in itec department. For me, her accent does not get into way on her teaching skills and she knows her stuff very well.

Teaching and tests are medium. But I had an enrollment problem one day, and she did her best for me. No one helped me but she did and spoke to the program director on my behalf and got my permission for the problem I had. I owe her soooo much. Great great great personality. The best. Just talk to her and be reasonable if you had any problem.

Comment:

Despite her accent, she really does care about her students and is willing to help her students during office hours and even in class. She tells you exactly what's going to be on the midterm and the final exam. It only took me two days to study before both exam and I got a B+. She may seem rude, but she's not, she's just serious and professional.

SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFS IN ITEC DEPARTMENT. YOU LEARN A LOT FROM HER COURSES BUT YOU NEED TO STUDY ON YOUR OWN (ESPECIALLY ASSIGNMENTS, PROJECT MILESTONES). HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS WITH HER ACCENT. THE ATTENDANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS THAT MATERIAL COMES ON THE FINAL EXAM.
