Comment:

Computer science major very good at math and this lady was a joke. Every class someone would prove her wrong and it would be a never ending battle of hearing "its in zee booook". Tons of homework that will take hours to do. You miss one class your done. Do not take this class take this class with Professor Huff or Byung Lu

you can not understand anything she says. often she is teaching it incorrectly and students have to correct her mistakes. I ended up being taught by i first semester freshman as opposed to her, he taught me more.

BEWARE! Yes she does have an accent but if you listen carefully you can understand her and she explains alright. Will almost kill you if you contradict her and makes you answer your own question. HOMEWORK SHALL KILL U. I REPEAT, HOMEWORK SHALL KILL U. Only bout 5 questions on exam so know your stuff. If you already have a tough semester don't take.

Comment:

She gives quizzes and tests that tutors even struggle with. The majority of your class will drop the class. Her accent is very difficult to understand and she refuses to go over any questions you may have because "it wastes class time."

She is the worst, I tried and worked hard, did great on the homework and poorly on quizzes and tests because she didn't like me. I even went to tutoring 3-4 times a week and still did poorly.

Comment:

She does know what she's talking about however she has a very thick russian accent. This provides a language barrier that is very hard to overcome. Unless you have someone there to teach you the material that is not her then you will have a hard time. Don't buy the book if you have to take her because you only need it for the webassign homework.

Terrible teacher. I studied for hours and still didn't know how to do half of my exams. Tests are much harder than class/ homework and she is condescending when you ask questions. She is a not an evil person per se but a terrible teacher and not helpful.

Comment:

She is not as bad as everyone says. Even if you are not the best at math, pay attention in class and if you don't understand something, she is more than happy to help. If you pay attention, do the homework and show interest in the course, she will notice.

Comment:

She's a very difficult teacher and if you're not strong in algebra do not take her. Tests are very hard and she gives a lot of homework. She is not mean spirited or nasty to her students and she will help you if you need it. Most people in the class withdrew but it's not impossible to get a B or a C.

Comment:

I wanted to say at least one good thing about her but I can't. I thought these other ratings were exaggerating. They weren't. Can't understand her accent, hates questions, doesn't allow calculators for the most part. She was the only professor I could take but do everything you can to not get her. Unless you're a Calc expert, this class is hell.

for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. This woman is a nazi. I actually asked her for help, and she said no. No. She is a horrible teacher, and grades unfairly. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

Honestly one of the worst professors I have had. She refuses to give any credit for work that is correct, and gives any grade she pleases; if you piss her off, she'll give you a 10 on your quiz. Avoid this class if you can, it's a horrible experience.

Comment:

Worst experience of my life. She fails to explain anything the class asks of her, saying that if we can get the easy examples then we should be able to do the hard ones. I could describe her as one of the worst professors I have ever come across, but that rating does not do her the justice she deserves, she's much, MUCH, worse.

Worst teacher ever. Do not take. If you don't know something she fails to explain it, then starts to hate you because she thins you don't belong in the class. I had to teach myself. Only plus is she's oblivious during exams, I literally had 10 pages of notes for the final exam on my desk when i took it.
