The class material was pretty advanced but I never had such a great professor who could present the material in such a interesting, clear, and organized manner. She inspired me to do my best and raised my awearness of math in every day world. Anyone in her class has the chance to succeed because she cares much about her students and provides extra

Great teacher,and she is very helpful if you are willing to put forth the effort. Covers a section a day and doesn't overload you. She was a little hard to understand at first, but within the second week I could understand her very well. Take her class!!!

Dr. B does have quite an accent, but you get over that in the first week or two. Your grade is based on 4 test and the final. She doesn't grade the homework, but she'll occasionally give bonus points for those who show all the homework they've done. She likes to have a good time, so just go with the flow. And she is VERY willing to help!!!

she is so sweet. i really enjoyed her. she is very laid back and funny. her english is alittle cloudy but she gives good examples and always provides a great study guide before the test. if you do take her class, be an advisor, she loves to help them out! i overall loved her and the class and it wasnt that bad.

Good teacher who is interested in her class. She is interested in her students and a lot of fun. What more could you ask for?

I had her for both 1111 and 1113. Never made "B" before until her class. Not the easiest teacher, but not the hardest. She does have a russian accent, so it's hard to understand her. But, if you come to class and do well on her test, she will bump you up a letter grade if you're about five points from it. The book is really helpful if you don't und

I had her for pre-calc & I loved her class! She has an accent, but you get used to it very quickly! Majority of the ppl who said they didn't like her class were looking for an easy A without putting in effort. This is college..not elementary school! She gives extra points on tests if you do the hw! And she will find any way to help boost your grade

I absolutely loved her. I have never made an A in math before and I was so excited! Pay attention and do all the extra credit. She give you many opportunities to boost your grade.I actually had a B, but I emailed her asking what I made on the final and just for asking she bumped me to an A! Act like you care and you'll get the grade you want.

Love her! Her teaching style is a little different, but good! She makes everyone in the class participate by working problems on the board, which helps you LEARN by doing! She doesn't make you feel stupid if you're wrong. And the accent? Don't worry, it's not too bad, and you get use to it quickly. Try your best and put in effort, she'll notice.

i absolutely love baloueva. she is a big ball of russian sunshine and she brightened my day every morning. math is a hard class in general but she is very helpful. if you tell her your goal she will help you out in any way possible. do you homework and study guides and you will be fine.

Dr. B is an extremly kind person. She is always willing to help and while the test are difficult they prepare you for a far easier final. she doesnt take up homework but does assaign three reviews which she will check for you so its easy to get a 100 on them. I liked her adn hte class but thats because im good with calculus.

I thoroughly enjoy Alla's lectures, she is very funny and has a very quirky way of speaking/acting. She makes the more difficult points of calc into very understandable concepts. I may be biased as because i like math but this class is great for me. Nothing that has been presented to me is shockingly difficult.

she is super nice. This was my first college class I had and she made it really great. I had trouble understanding her at first but the way she teaches the class it was no problem. I made an A in the class! Just make sure to do all the work and you will pass.

YOU haveee to attend the class. Her accent is funny, but she is very helpful! Do your work and show her your best and she will help you to make an A if you want!

For the first few classes I was completely lost- this country kid didn't know whether she was speaking English or Russian! However, once you're used to her it's not so bad. She grows on you. Such a funny and unique lady. Plus, she gives extra credit and curves like there's no tomorrow! She notices the hard workers. Try and you will pass her class!!

Fantastic! She will help you with points on tests and quizzes! Her accent is thick, but she is hilarious! I didn't like her class at first, but I ended up really enjoying her. Do the homework and study and you should do well!

She has a heavy accent, but if you listen closely you shouldn't have problems understanding her. She is a great teacher!

She does have an accent, but you easily get used to her if you go to class and make an effort. She is a wonderful teacher. Unless you are a slacker and don't do the homework, you will make a good grade. She works with you, gives extra credit so you can pass if she sees you are tring. If you don't expect to do homework, however, take somebody else.

Great Math teacher, very helpful and will work with you if you have questions. If you pay attention and do the work you will do great. If you think you can just slack off or be lazy just as any other prof, you probably wont do well in math.

Thoroughly enjoyed her class, took her for College Algebra and again for Precal. She will make sure to give you opportunities, your choice to put in the effort. Just don't be lazy.. Both classes I took with her were very interactive, she's very good at keeping a good learning environment. A great teacher!

She is a great Math professor, always helpful. She has a Russian accent but she is a very fun person. Gives bonus points and does a lot of curves on test, also the lowest test grade is dropped.

She does have a thick accent, but she is great and very helpful. As long as your respectful and try than it should not be a problem getting at lest a B in the class.

Dr.Baloueva is the funniest teacher i've had. She knows her stuff and doesn't mind teaching it but does expect you to visit the math lab often for further clarity. She gives lot of extra points and will work with you on test scores if she sees that you made small mistakes on your work. over all i loved her class.

Dr. Balueva is AWESOME! She is so helpful and so nice. If you do your homework this class shouldn't be too difficult for you. She give so many extra credit opportunities! She also uses a pretty big curve for each test. I made an A with minimal effort. Just show up to class and do your homework and you will be fine! Would recommend her to anyone :)

A really great teacher, but you need to know the basic concepts of the course before you take her. She moves through the material really fast, so if you're a slow learner with math, you might have to schedule some lab time. Great personality, and extremely helpful. Answers questions at the beginning of class and goes over homework every day.

Honestly the best experience i have had as a teacher. She was right on the point when she was talking about tests. She expects you do homework and collects it every test for +2 points. The teacher explains everything so well. Dr. Balueva is great! Very easy class if you apply your self.

Dr. Balueva is GREAT! Really funny lady. Tries to get students involved and often calls out students to go to the board and complete a problem. Other than that, she is GREAT! Highly recommend :)

she is very sweet and funny. she also try to explain what you don't understand. She will give all of her students at least one chance to become a teacher of class after each test.

She is so funny and sweet! always do the extra credit because it will help you out! Be sure to study for class and I would not recommend skipping. Also, don't take her for maymester, you will have more pressure and this class is hard.

If you can understand her accent than you are golden. She loves giving examples and that is how I learn so that helped me a lot. If you do the WebAssign then she bumps your final grade by a whole letter grade and offers extra credit thorughout class. She is funny and if you go to the board than she will like you more.

Dr. Balueva was awesome! Just do the homework and you will be fine :)

awesome

Good teacher, test are not bad, a lot of homework. Can be difficult to understand at times. Will use book.

Wonderful professor!! I learned so many things from this professor! Definitely take her again!

If you want to become an engineer! Take her!!! You will learn so many great things from her!!

In the tags section I selected "lots of homework" but don't let that scare you. The homework is sometimes optional, answers are in the back of the book, and sometimes only taken for a "participation grade". That being said I would do the homework, it really helps. When I took her she had optional extra credit for the course grade.

Thick accent, but besides that she is the most funny, and most kind professor i've had. Her test aren't so are and the homework is for your benefit only. She takes time to explain things and the material is very easy to understand if you pay attention. She takes her time as well and does a lot of extra credit and second chances. I love Dr. B

Dr. Balueva was definitely my favorite teacher this year! Her class will be a challenge if you struggle with math but she offers many resources. All the homework is practice (and extra credit) which will prepare you for the tests and she offers an SI session which, if you go, is really helpful! Don't take this class if you are planning to miss days

Dr. B is probably my favorite professor ever. She is hilarious and always in a good mood. Her accent is thick but after you get used to it, it's easy to understand. If you are good at math, her class is SO easy. Lots of extra credit available! Love her! E-book is available with webassign so you don't need to buy or rent the book unless you want to!

People complain about her on here and I can promise you they are all fresh out of high school. They aren't used to doing work outside of class and actually using their brains because this is not a hard class and she is not a hard professor. Professor B. is a solid teacher. Make sure to pay attention and ask questions. Visit during office hours.

Shes really funny and she cares. At first, she can come off the wrong way but you get use to her. She curves test which is a great thing. If she likes you then you should be good.

Im a freshman this semester and I love her, you gotta study and put effort to make a good grade and pass her class but overall if you do your work and go to the math lab it should be an easy A

I am not a math-minded person, and this class was a struggle because of that, but Balueva is a great professor. She does many examples in class and gives lots of practice. She always stops to answer questions and offers many extra credit opportunities all the time. There is a lot of homework but it is helpful and sometimes counts for extra credit.

She is probably the sweetest teacher you will ever have. However, If I had not taken the math class earlier in high school I would be super confused. Overall, her accent throws you off at first but you get used to it. She assigns hw but not for a grade. If you miss a class you miss a lot. so.... show up. If you put in effort you will get an A.

She is a lovely person! Her accent is kinda tough but you get used to it. She may keep you late a few times. Her test is easy except for the last one which was probably the worst part.

ballueva was pretty cool. she went type fast with the material though. of course this class calc2 is difficult regardless of the professor. shes a genius though

She teaches calc2 like you will use it in the real world. If you have to take physics her methods make doing the simple integrals easy, but the class is far from easy. GO TO THE MATH LAB THEY HAVE AN ANSWER KEY FOR ALL HER ASSIGNINMENTS, but you can not look at it. the tutor can though. She is a genius if you have the patience to listen.

Professor Balueva was very nice! The exams were a really good reflection of what I learned in the class. Only down-side was that the final was high-stress as in the syllabus it states that the final takes up about 1/4-1/3 of your final grade. She was really helpful in zoom. I wish I could've attended the normal sessions but Ionlyattended1duetotime.

Honestly she's very very sweet but most of the learning has to be done by yourself and it's a lot of material to memorize. The questions on exams are very hard even if you understand the concepts. You can tell she is very smart and passionate about her work, but this class was very hard for me personally.

She's a great person and professor. This class is hard if you aren't naturally good at math, and I can see many things going over some students' heads. Pretty disorganized at times but not in a terrible way. She makes the class enjoyable with her personality. Quizzes/tests are like 80% of your grade so you NEED to study. Very little HW, though.

2 assignments due per week. 4 tests, 2 proctored 2 not. She has very clear grading criteria, and if you do not meet them she will let you redo them. I don't usually write reviews but she bumped me up to an A despite me not doing at least half of the HW. And for that I am thankful. Take her if you can.
