She is the worst professor i have ever had. Her tests are hardcore especially the friggin multiple choice questions! My advice never take her course, pick nicholaev instead!

Terrible

Best bet is to attend continuos tutorials. If you go to her office hours she is very condescending. Try and avoid her class.

Worst prof ever. Her final was unbelievable hard. I finished calcu in high school with a 95%. I'll be lucky if I finish her course with a C-. She doesn?t explain her examples and finding her during her office hours won't help either. She just can't seem to explain anything.

The other people saying that her tests are easy are WRONG. Oh my god, that final was BRUTAL. Her sample final definitely was not similar to this one. If you still remember your class material from high school, this class should be a breeze. Her accent is heavy and her notes/definitions are complicated. Avoid if possible!

AWFUL PROFESSOR. Don't bother going to her office hours she is very rude and is of little help. Webwork quizzes/assignments are easy, but all the Calculus classes have the same webwork, so it has nothing to do with her. Final exam was impossible and midterm was difficult.

Braverman has good intentions of teaching the class but I she is too smart for a first year math course. She justs talks to the board as she writes out equations and when people ask questions, she gives them the "you really don't know?!!" look and then gives a complicated high level answer that no one understands.

She has extremely nice writing. If you are good at math, you will be able toe follow what she is writing on the board. If you are not naturally good at math, DO NOT take a class with her. She explains, absolutely nothing, and when you ask a question she does not even answer it. Her midterms were insulting simple, and the final was fine. An easy A.

She doesnt know how to teach, very, very confusing!

Absolutely impossible to understand. Notes are unclear and she does not answer student questions at all. Avoid at all costs ! I learn absolutely nothing from her and all my studying comes from either the textbook or webassign

not helpful at all ,I learn everything myself

Seems like a caring prof. However she cannot effectively communicate what she is trying to teach. Class consists of hastily writing notes and a chorus of exasperated sighs. She does provide plenty of resources.

She is a very intelligent prof. However her teaching style can be difficult to overcome. Furthermore, her writing is too soft and difficult to see. She goes too fast as well. She provides lots of resources and has marks up in less than 2 days. She is quite confrontational and rude if you speak to her in person. Dont *avoid* but expect to work hard

Seems to lack any interpersonal skills. Whenever I went to her for any help she was very rude to me, as if she didn't see how it was impossible for anybody to struggle with the material in this course. Notes/solutions aren't very helpful, as she skips from one result to the other without any explanation of the math involved or theory applied.

I really have no idea what is she talking about during a class, she is just reading out what she is writing out on the board. Her writing is too light that it is hard to see if you are sitting in the third or fourth row in the classroom. NEVER TAKE HER AGAIN EVER

Jesus christ what a terrible professor. Get ready to teach yourself the whole course. She is basically useless and of no help. All she does is copies her notes on the blackboard and doesn't bother explaining the concepts. You'll leave class understanding basically nothing. Exams deduct 6% for one MCQ mistake. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS.

She would repeatedly tell us to come into her office for help, but when you asked she would tell me we went over that in class(duh). Which a quarter of the class she specifically calls out "the smart ones" and goes over and above for the couple that understand what's going on, leaving the majority puzzled on the basics. Passed only because of TA.

She is the worst teacher I have ever had. She does not explain what she is doing, and just reads off what she is writing without further discussion. She teaches topics after she has already tested you on them, both with assignments and quizzes. In the future I will drop every course I have in which she is the professor.

100% of the course is marked through WebWork. Made a typo? Thats 17% of your grade gone. Has zero concern for giving students a reasonable chance to succeed and get the marks they deserve. One of the most unsympathetic people I have ever met.

Get ready to teach yourself the entire course. She is not very considerate of the students and has a poor teaching method. Quizzes are heavily weighted and the assignments are extremely long. Once you've taught yourself everything, the actual content is not difficult but the way that she teaches/tests makes it near impossible to understand.

RUN!! MATH376 is NOT a hard course. The material with a bit of work is doable but she is NOT. All marks came from Webwork(assignments, quizzes and final exam). the quizzes were okay as well as the assignment. The final however will be NOTHING like it. Complete curveball to bring students GPA down. BEWARE OF THE FINAL

Dr. Braverman was upset through the semester that the class average of 70% was "too high", to fix this she created a final exam that was impossible to be fully prepared for. It was unlike anything in the entire course. She managed to tank everyone's grades very well. Went from a 90 to a B+. Avoid if you can!!!

Worst Maths prof Ive had in my 3 years of undergrad. Does the bare minimum and expects her students to have an easy understanding of everything. MATH376 is NOT a hard course but the way quizzes and assignments are weighted, it will be very difficult to get anything higher than B+ in this. She is terrible at explaining and teaching in general.

I had the displeasure of having her during Fall 2020 (COVID). She made 100% of our mark be determined from Webwork. This included assignments, quizzes and a final. The quizzes and final was made without consideration to time. She gave us calculation heavy questions which required a lot more time to work out than we were given. She was unreasonable.

Truly impossible to succeed without cheating. On the first day of class, I was convinced I had missed a week because she immediately dove into topics without explaining what she was doing or why. Without defining a differential equation, she began solving them immediately. It went downhill from there. Chegg or self-teaching is the only answer.

AVOID Literal GPA killer. Does not explain material in simple terms, lacks concrete instantiation of the theory she gives, posts unclear solutions to her handouts which assume you know more than you do, gives a final exam worth 50%. The only thing that has saved the class average is the TA. You're better off in a 300 person lecture.

During her lectures she almost always makes no sense, her notes are all over the place, and she skips a lot of important information. I had to look at other profs notes to understand the course better.

If you have Dr. Braverman as your professor, you are better off reading notes from other professors assuming you have access to them. If you still want to go to her lectures, you should still read course notes before attending the lectures. Dr. Braverman can benefit from including more detail in her procedure when doing examples in class.

Yeah, attend someone else's class. Messes up basic algebra / calculus, classes make no sense, and you also can't understand her half the time.

It hard to follow her explanations and you get lost easily.

Not great

This professor should be avoided. Could clearly tell she was annoyed with the class, as the numbers dwindled from full to less than 20 on average, any question asked would get a snarky remark or no answer/reply at all! This worked out though, as towards the end of the quizzes she gave questions directly off the handouts and practice quizzes.

Do not take this professor unless you really have to. If you really have to, start watching online videos on topics to understand the materials from the very beginning. Webworks are much more complicated than the tests. For the test, the handouts and are very good for preparation and theories from the lecture notes are important as well.

Boring lectures

$4700 a semester to be forced to teach yourself. What a great scam the University of Calgary is running. Horrible "instructor". Just goes up and draws numbers and rambles for an hour a week. Who hires these people?
