Comment:

Do NOT take the class if you are not thoroughly familiar with Algebra 2, you will just waste your time. Be prepared to attend every class because she covers a whole lot in 2 hrs 20 minutes. She works fast and expects you to keep up and do timed problems. Overall an amazing, smart teacher with a lot of experience. Not for everyone.

Comment:

Yikes! she was my last option, and i would never want to take her again. She does have a heavy accent making it entirely difficult to keep up. i found myself seeking outside help more than the 2.5 hour class. waste of time. i overall dropped her class after 5 weeks. Would not recommend!!

If you are prepared to put the work in, she is a great teacher. She moves fast, and yes, she does have an accent(you get used to it quickly), it IS possible to keep up. If you pay attention, participate in lecture and do the homework, you'll be fine. She is a GREAT teacher, thorough and really builds a good knowledge base for your future courses.

Comment:

The only reason I give her a 4 for clarity is because she has a Russian accent and moves really fast. You have to write and think quickly to keep up with the lectures but everything you need is there. She's hardcore and fast paced but a really good teacher. I failed this class twice with other teachers out of boredom. Work hard and learn a lot.

Her grading is extremely tough and it is incredibly difficult to understand what she is saying. Do not take her if your a not a strong math student, you will fail.

Comment:

Professor Kloumova comes off as very critical in the beginning; however, she is very passioniate about mathematics and teaching. I BARELY got an "A" in her class, but I worked my butt off for that "A." Her accent takes a little getting used to, but I was able to adapt pretty quickly. She is very helpful during her office hours. She's funny too!

Comment:

Never in all my years of school, have I ever had a teacher say "You should already know this" when a student asks for help and then proceeds to walk away leaving it at that She's also pretty inconsistent insisting that we use the math lab tutoring and our textbook but then gets mad when the book or tutor doesn't do it exactly the way she wants.

Comment:

By far the worst math teacher I've ever had. I'm pretty decent at math and I'm struggling to keep up with her overly complex teaching and inability to answer questions. Extremely condescending and don't expect her to answer questions without hearing "You should already know this." Heed my warning. Don't submit yourself to failing.

Comment:

Constantly patronizing students who can't follow her rushed lectures. She takes simple math concepts and explains them like you're trying for a doctorates in quantum mechanics then condescends students who she lost during her overly complex explanation. She expects instantaneous mental math and is rude if you are incapable of doing it fast enough.

Comment:

She is very mean! WARNING! If you don't understand something, whatever you do not raise your hand and ask her!!! Not only will she not help you but she will put you down for not knowing what she knows. She has a Massive Ego. Hard to understand through the thick accent and hard to read sloppy hand writing.

Comment:

I would not take Stat 300 from this professor. The first day of class she said she has a strong accent and if we could not understand her we need to drop the class. That left me scrambling to look for an open class. She has a really strong accent which makes listening and understanding the lecture very difficult.

Comment:

The first day of class she lets you know whose in charge and what she needs from you. She assigns H.W. but doesn't collect it. She writes down an example on the board, skips a few steps,expects you to know it. Then she gives you an example to do on your own w/out help.I felt as though i was with a drill Sargent. AVOID HER AT ALL COST!

She's an amazing professor. 85%+ is an A which isn't hard to get if you put in the effort. Well, I'm pretty good at math so take that as you will. I was afraid of this class because of all the bad ratings, but I think it's really not as bad as people say.

There is a difference between a challenging, difficult professor and an abusive one. Kloumova falls in the latter category. Do not take.

Comment:

Either Kloumova is writing the positive reviews herself or she's having someone write them for her. She is purposely nasty to weed people out of the class despite the fact they've paid money to be there purely because of her narrow, conservative attitude regarding mathematics. Horrible teacher. Uninspiring and unhelpful.

Comment:

Kloumova is honestly one of the most dedicated professors I've ever had. she really cares about her students& she really wants you to learn. She might come off as scary but it's caz she is Russian. just cultural difference. She is actually so nice and helpful especially if you visit her during her office hours. LOVE HER TO BITS. SHE'S THE BEST <3
