He's super smart. His English is not so bad as that p%*k said. Unfortunately, UCD couldn't keep him, I heard he's teaching in Columbia right now.

I think if you are going to teach upper mathematics (IE: confusing stuff) you should be able to SPEAK ****ing ENGLISH.

Comment:

Just took the final yesterday and got the grade back today. The exams are very easy with the class average being around 80%. Not the best lecturer, but the stuff is pretty straight forward. Would definitely recommend for an easy A/B.

Dr. Khovanov is a really smart teacher. He know the material like the back of his hand. He is more than willing to help, even after office hours. His test are very fair.

Comment:

Khovanov is a good teacher who cares about his students. Though many people complain his lectures are confusing and he makes logical jumps, if you ASK him to clarify he is MORE than willing to do so, making him a good and clear teacher. Tests are easy.

Comment:

Somewhat difficult to understand at first, tends to make large mathematical jumps in example problems, can get marked off on tests for not doing the problem the way he wants, however is VERY helpful and wants everyone to succeed

Comment:

Very difficult to understand. Once you get past his accent (not too bad), he still makes massive logical jumps with out explaining them, leaving many of his students completley lost.

Comment:

I don't know why i bothered going to his lectures because he confused me more and his accent is horrible. Tests are graded harshly. Even if you get an answer right, you can still get marked off because you showed your work differently. Avoid!

Comment:

His accent is very hard to understand, and he mumbles sometimes. He knows what he is talking about, but apparently nobody else does. His tests aren't too bad but he grades hard on them.

Comment:

He has a fairly strong accent so it's hard to understand him sometimes. However, he knows his material (barely looks at his notes when lecturing).

149A with Khovanov is an easy class. You may have little trouble understanding his accent.
