The professor is very kind and understanding. the class was super easy and fun I really liked it. the required book is available in the library and the professor is not too strict about late submissions. definitely would take this class again if I could.

Ive taken Russian with larry for the last 3 years and he's been great every quarter. Generous grader and clearly wants everyone to succeed. Like with every language you really need to grind vocab, grammar etc... but larry does a good job of using assignments to guide everything along smoothly imo. good dude, good class

Larry is a really great professor. He is kind, accessible, and willing to help all students. He makes learning Russian exciting and interesting, even though it can be hard at times. For the large majority of the class, just study what he tells you and read the online textbook, and you'll be fine!

While I know the other SLAV profs are great, I feel very privileged to have had Larry. His fun attitude in teaching and genuine care for his students feeling comfortable and succeeding within his class makes for a class that you LOOK FORWARD to attending. I became very sick the week before finals and missed two quizzes, but Larry helped me catch up
