Comment:

Dr. Chudnovsky is responsive when asked questions and is always willing to help, even outside of class. Main problem is cutting through the accent to make sense of what he is conveying. Overall gives numerous opportunities to do well. Do the homework even if he doesn't collect it, it does help a lot. TA-Sid was helpful but is graduating.

You can barely understand him when he speaks, but he does not mind repeating himself. He is a good professor overall, and willing to help you anytime. Very understanding and lenient.

His class isnt hard but you have to understand him. Make sure to ask if you can use a notecard the day before the test because he will let you. Make sure you know russian before you sign up for this class.

Alls I'm sayin, If you want to be publicly humiliated- join his class. Office hours are useless, can't understand through heavy Russian accent, Understandable? no. get out while you can!

Just a general ****wad. Teaches from an incomprehensible text, yells at kids, singles them out, just in general not a nice man and not a good teacher. Waste of valuable time.

Comment:

It takes a couple weeks to understand what he says. The language barrier limits him to only being able to explain the material one way, if you don't get it his way, you're screwed. He is very unprofessional, I had to go back to his office 6 days in a row to make up points on a test.

Comment:

Boris should go back to the motherland. He doesn't know English grammar, so when he explains things, it makes no sense. I am dropping his stats class tomorrow, even though I have to take it as part of my major. I'd rather take it at a community college than with him. Horrible choice in hiring this communist kook, XU.

Comment:

Boris is funny and always willing to help students especially if they come during office hours. Sometimes, he is a little difficult to understand, but if you follow along in the book, it's not that hard. The homework was not very helpful, but if you pay attention and understand the quizzes, the tests are easy.

Comment:

He is an Old Russian Man, so if you're into that sort of thing, then fine. But I'm not. Every time you ask a question, he's like, "what?" but he says it in Russian. And then you're confused. Then you ask again, "How do I use my TI83 calculator to do this stat function?" and he's like "bumble, bumble" in Russian. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

Terrible professor. Doesn't help you at all, can't understand his English, and grades extremely hard. If there was a 30 part question and you misspelled one of the UNITS in the equation he would count the whole thing wrong. He's annoying, and the class is soooooooo boring. Don't take it, trust me.

People here do not know what they are talking about. As long as you can understand him(Its not hard, just a bit weird at first) you will be fine. Just keep up with the reading and the homework and you will do fine.
