MCDB126B . Smith I 9 Months Ago

decent bit harder than Olga but a better lecturer. Exam questions are much less straightforward and smith expects you to know the material much more in depth; one off statements that are only on one slide are fair game for exams. Does occasionally bring snacks for the class though

MCDB6 . Azarenko O A Month Ago

I witnessed a young woman in front of me today being verbally harassed by Olga today. She was crying because of the way Olga was talking to her and she was telling her to stop crying, no compassion, borderline evil woman.

Olga is a diva, and knows her stuff!! She is very respected and knows what she's talking about. It is truly the effort you're willing to put in.

MCDB6 . Azarenko O 4 Months Ago

To be blunt, she is not a good teacher. Our class average for the final was 58%, she does not curve at all and there's no extra credit. Barely any assignments so your grade relies on the exams which are really hard. She is dismissive and rude-I can't even ask her a questions without her having an attitude.

I think Professor Azarenko is overqualified for this job!! She is very educated about this subject and she does a great job of explaining the material. This class does take a lot of effort outside of class, such as reading the textbook, but her quizzes and midterms were pretty straightforward and can get a pretty decent grade from simple effort.
