He can be confusing and vague, and the class is really boring but he is helpful if you just ask and he does care about how well you understand the material.

Comment:

By far the worst professor I've had at Tufts. His lack of effort in presenting material and creating exams is evident: his midterms are two randomly selected books problems (avg. of 1st midterm was 34%) and lectures him reading off pre-made notes from the projector. He does not give partial credit either.

Comment:

Prof Kachanov is a nasty guy. He is not nice and is bitter, mean, and ill-spirited. He hates America, Americans, and students who don't understand instantly. Steer clear.

Comment:

Prof. Kachanov does not teach the material well. He knows what he is talking about and wants to see students succeed, but he has no idea how to break down the material into simpler concepts. I also sought him out multiple times, and he was either unavailable, stood me up, or completely unhelpful. DO NOT waste your time in his class.
