DO NOT TAKE HER! she says things like "if you dont know this, learn it by test time." and then moves on. she doesn't help, and rolls her eyes when you ask for her assistance. There is no TA, so good luck if you get stuck with her. thick accent.

Rewards students that show an effort. Difficut to understand her, so sit near the front. Do the homework and your fine, cause quizzes are directly from the hw.

The worst teacher in the math department. All she does is go over examples straight from the book and doesnt teach anything. Doesnt help you and never is in her office.

her accent is very hard to understand. she gives the impression she doesn't know what she's talking about. she makes hundreds of mistakes. there's always a quiz or worksheet to do or pick up. marks you absent for any reason possible. calls her students stupid all the time. overall, not good.

She is impossible to understand, speaks with a thick russian accent. Doesn't take attendance but a hard class nonetheless.

This teacher's class was an absolute waste of my time. I ended up having to teach myself most of the material. She was not helpful and had a horrible accent. You have three tests and a final. The first test was relatively easy, the other two were absolutely ridiculous! The final was kind of hard too. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! GET OUT ASAP!!!

Maybe if she didn't ridicule everyone that tried to ask her a question, more people would have stepped up to the plate. On the other hand, when she did answer the question, it was so redundant you might as well have not asked. I learned everything from the book,the final exam was terrible. If you have her-start studying now.I wouldnt recommend her

her accent was hard to understand at times, but overall she has a very good teaching style. she uses simple techniques and makes things appear a lot easier. if you're okay with a russian accent, take her, she's great.

Don't take this class. I could not understand anything that she said.

VERY hard class...made even harder. She has a distinct accent, which a lot of people can't understand. Personally, I COULD understand what she was saying, just not what she was trying to teach. I failed every single quiz we took yet somehow came out with a C. STUDY HARD!

this teacher was very hard to understand because of her russian accent. it didnt help that her ta had a thick chinese accent either. she can not relate to the student and was not a very good teacher. before her class i was pretty good at math but that changed my mind. sometimes she asks student for help on her problems

The material was not difficult, but you cannot understand her. She is obviously intelligent if she has a doctorate but can't teach worth a ****. She cannot explain anything and does not know how to teach. So if you have had calculus before save your notes if you get stuck with her because she is not a good teacher

Probably one of the easiest math teachers at USC. She gives multiple choice exams and many short quizzes. Then she drops several grades at the end. Lots of extra credit is given as well. Attendance is not mandatory. Shes quite hard to understand at times, but it doesn't matter as long as you do the homework.

If you ever get a chance to speak with her one-on-one, I hope that you do. She is a really nice lady. She is a very easy teacher (all on-line homework, multiple choice exams, etc). She can be difficult to understand at times, so you will need to take extra care to listen in class. I recommend bringing a recorder if you have trouble with accents.

very lazy, if she doesnt know how to do a problem, she just skips it. When she writes notes on the board, she doesnt explain them, she hardly even looks up from her sheet of paper. pretty easy class though. i dont know about her if you have a chance, take someone else.

She is foriegn so her accent is weird. reminds me of stitch. the class is very easy. she teaches somewhat weird but if you write down the simple notes before the examples it is easy. she uses wiley which is ridiculous but her tests are easier then the homework.

ummm she is the worst but if you can get someone else DO!!! you can't understand her at all and she really does sound like stitch!! she doesn't even know how to do half the examples we have to correct her all the time! tests are "that" bad... i wouldnt take her again thats for sure!

She doesn't explain the topics necessary to understand the homework. This is extremely frustrating. Some of her policies are annoying. Avoid, if possible. If not, you'll live.

HORRIBLE!!!! To be on the safe side sign up for classes early so you dont have to take her class! She really doesnt know the english alphabet and her accent is horrible and she grades very strict!

not a good teacher, doesn't really help, hard to understand because of accent. class isnt very hard, multiple choice tests, drop 2 lowest quizzes, lots of homework but not very hard

This class is hard but doable. The tests are pretty much identical to the practice tests that she hands out, with the exception of the final. Study the practice tests and you will be fine. Her teaching style is awful. She skips many steps in class assuming that you know how to get from point A to Z. She also gives little to no partial credit.

I did everything possible to make at least a C in this class. I went to SI, did every hw, reviewed, practiced, got tutoring, ect. and still came out with a D-. I do not suggest her because your work ethic doesn't matter. She only likes you if your a math snob who knows all the answers and sits up front.

She was hard to understand because of the accent and she rarely answered questions in a clear way. I sat in the very front of the classroom and still had trouble hearing sometimes. I basically had to teach myself from the textbook. With that said, quizzes are a great grade booster and came straight from the homework.

Not helpful what so ever. Very strict grader. Do not take if possible. She is a terrible teacher and has no remorse for her strict grading

Math 111 is supposed to be a nice, easy intro to college math. She makes this class so difficult. She doesn't like taking questions and is not helpful. We never had one multiple choice test- they're all open answer. Very strict grader and the test questions are way harder than the homework and classwork. Avoid her.

Hard to understand, hard quizzes, hard tests. Not particularly friendly or eager to help students. does not appear to care. if math isn't a good subject for you DO NOT TAKE HER..probably shouldn't take her regardless

Very dull, hard to understand, had to learn from the book

Gives study guides before the tests that are extremely helpful. She has a very strong Russian accent that is difficult to understand sometimes. I had to do a lot of self-teaching in this class. Luckily this was a basic math class I have prior knowledge of, otherwise I would not have done well.

Russian accent, but not bad. She gives practice exams that are a lot like her tests so they are pretty easy. the material in DiffEq is difficult and confusing, but she teaches them pretty well. The only problems she has is she is unable to answer questions due to a language barrier, she makes a lot of mistakes in examples, and she grades harshly.

Worst math teacher I've ever had. She asks if anyone has questions then huffs about it when someone actually asks. No partial credit. Evil woman

boring! her teaching style: put up powerpoint notes 5 min before class, read said power point,anyone have questions? She asks this but usually by the time she is done with the notes you are lost. The only reason I do like her is because the notes are good - she is just so dry when teaching them. her exam practices are just like her tests though

she has a strong accent and the classes are very boring but she explains all the material that will be in the test. if you go to class and do your hm you should be able to get an A. don't pay for the book !! just get the online version with webassign . you will save 100 $

You literally have to go to class to pass. Tons of pop quizzes and "classworks" on the material from that day or the day before. They aren't necessarily hard but they are graded and you will get a zero if you aren't in class. They can be a decent grade boost if you pay attention in class and get 100's on them.

Worst math teacher I've ever had. All she does is read her PowerPoint dludes word for word. She does not give you time to work practice problems in class. She doesn't grade HW but assigns it everyday. She acts like it a big hassle if someone actually asks a question. You end up teaching yourself. It might as well be an online class

I can barely understand a word she says. Not helpful at all. If you are very good with calculus you will do fine. If not, I would recommend transferring into a different class.

she is very boring and makes it hard to stay awake. the only reason i did good in this class is because i took it in high school. would not recommend for those who are just starting Calculus.

Get out while you can

She was literally the worst math professor I have every had. If you want to teach yourself or have already taken the class by all means take her. But if you want to learn don't take her. Seems confused and incompetent when teaching, DO NOT TAKE HER!

Most of the class was spent listening to her read from powerpoint slides. By the time we finished the slides, there was maybe enough time to go through one or two example problems. Be prepared to do a lot of studying on your own.

Beware, if you're considering Professor B do yourself a favor and don't. She has a fairly thick accent which is hard to understand at times and occasionally when you try to explain something to her she doesn't understand due to the language barrier. Additionally if you have the correct answer on a test but she doesn't like how you did it, its wrong

I would not recommend taking her. Her accent is very strong, making it difficult to understand her lectures. She does a good job with providing example problems in class, but half the time they are nothing like the quiz problems. When you ask a question, she is condescending. There are often surprise in class assignments. Homework isn't graded.

If you have never taken calculus before, she isn't the teacher to take. She doesn't do a good job of explaining new concepts and uses examples instead of explaining. If someone doesn't understand, she just expects them to look at the examples or homework and understand. She is very quiet and her thick accent makes it hard to understand her. AVOID!!
