Comment:

Prof Berkman sets you up to fail. Not having prior knowledge of solidworks she throws examples at you and doesn't help. Then when you go to take the certification exam your screwed. She doesn't care about you and laughs at you when you fail the exam. She's a terrible professor and even worse human being. Stay away at all costs.

Comment:

Don't expect to leave lab early if you finish all the work in 30 mins, she'll just start throwing "extras" at you, which she expects you to do if you want an A. Extra credit is mandatory if you want better than a B.

Comment:

She is a great teacher to take if you want to do better. She grades very strictly in a way that forces you to do better even when you thought you were doing your best. It can be frustrating at times when you'll get a B even when your work is near perfect, but my ability improved because of it. I just wish my grade would have reflected that.

Comment:

VERY helpful, I wish she taught more classes because i would take every class with her. She is BEYOND fair, and always willing to help you. Grading is VERY fair, and gives plenty of time to complete work and never overloaded it. People saying negative comments about her are immature students who take learning for granted. Overall EXCELLENT teacher

Not an easy class to get an A in, but getting a B isn't tough. She WILL find mistakes in your work, no matter how perfect it is. Get ready for a lot of work. Makes you learn the stuff, which is good.

Comment:

this russian **** talks with such a thick accent it sounds like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle is trying to tell me how to draw. completely useless but she does know her stuff, not that hard of a class anyway. doesn't really matter if u have her for this, but don't get her for anything else.

Unbelievably unhelpful, would always interrupt during group work, she'd tell us to work and then stop the whole class for something completely meaningless

She has kind of a strong accent though it's easy to get used to. Great Method's of teaching, do your work, kind of go beyond what's needed and you'll really do well .
