Language is okay. Not that difficult of a course. I learned a lot about families and loved it!
Dr. Okhotnikov has been by far my favorite professor so far at McNeese. His class is not difficult at all he gives you all the material you need for your 3 test and his lectures are always interesting. I definitely recommend him if you have to take any of his classes.
Professor Elijah is an amazing professor. I had him for 3 classes this semester and each class was a great experience. I am also lucky to have him as my adviser. You will not find another professor as dedicated to students as he is. He is available by phone 6 days a week till 9 p.m. That is dedication.
This is a class on family policy. Read the chapter he assigns and answer the assigned homework questions. You will also have to create power point. There is no reason not to get an A if you do the work. Dr. Elijah is a God send to the family science program. Blessed to have him as my adviser.
This is a grant writing class. You will be required to write a mock grant proposal for the class. You first turn a draft and he gives you feedback for a final proposal. He provides you with more than enough information to be successful in the class. He is very involved with his students. Can reach him by phone 6 days a week if you need anything
I took his family relations class during the summer. He posts a lecture for every chapter of the book. If you listen to the lectures he gives clues about questions on the exams, and if you read the chapters you're sure to make an A. If you put in the work, there's no reason you should make less than an A+.
This class was extremely easy and the professor is a great teacher. I highly recommend taking this class with this professor.
Great professor and really cares about his students and his subject. I really enjoyed listening to his lectures and he was an easy class.
Prof Okhotnikov is so great! I took Family Relations online and was slightly nervous because I live in Texas and some professors tend to take a lot of time responding to emails. He always responded quickly. He is also very helpful and understanding if you have a problem. The only way to fail this course is to simply not do your assignments. 10/10
He is an awesome Professor
He has been by far one of my favorite professors at McNeese and I am a Senior about to graduate. He genuinely cares about his students success. He is always available via email for help.
One of the nicest guys you will interact with. Always eager to email you and help you. His goal is to get you an A and he will make sure you have all the tools needed to do it. The work is eh not hard not easy, but really it is very hard to fail his courses. He wants you to pass. He can be a little over enthusiastic and try to be too inspiring tho
He is a great professor, so helpful and will work with you. He really cares for his students and wants you to succeed so he will go out of his way to help. I highly recommend taking him for all FMSC classes.
I have Dr. Elijah for many courses and he is amazing! Always professional but makes it a point to know he is there to help each and every student. Great instructor and person!!!
He helped me change my minor and helped me write petitions! Hes the best, I would recommend him!
I really enjoyed this class. He is super helpful if you have any questions or concerns. I really enjoyed the information that was learned in the course and am looking forward to my future classes with him.
The care and effort he puts into his class is greatly evident and I am sure other teachers strive to be at his level of excellence. Just give it your best and you will succeed in his classes.
Dr. Elijah is a true gem. He wants all of his student to not only succeed but excel. As long as you reach out and let him know whats going on, he will be there to help you. He gives very clear instructions and is always available through email.
Dr. Elijah is one of the most amazing professors at McNeese. He is always more than willing to help you or clarify concepts. We had assigned chapters to read each week along with a discussion forum for each chapter assigned. No exams or quizzes just discussion posts. There was 1 major PowerPoint project based on a chapter he assigned.
Took parenting 322 actually!! He is very caring and compassionate. Grades are explained very thoroughly and will make sure you understand. A few quizzes are little hard, but are open book and you are able to figure it out.
Very understanding and mom-friendly! I had a baby days before the semester started, and my poor baby just never caught a break, he was sick back to back throughout the semester and Professor Elijah was super understanding and helped me to be sure I would get full credit for the things I'd missed.
Ilya is both a great person and professor. I have taken a plethora of his classes. Very caring about students. There is usually some extra credit and it is definitely worth it. 100% recommend him for any class.
Dr. Elijah happens to be one of the most phenomenal teachers I have had thus far. This class entails a lot of hard work, but he is adamant about making this class fun and educational! I have never come across a professor who with as much passion and care for his students and curriculum. 10/10 would recommend!
It is very hard to understand him and his emails I was very frustrated with him and the class Even though I got an A I would never take him again One of the worst instructors I have ever had
Professor Okhotnikov is amazing! Best professor I have had my whole time at McNeese! He responds quickly to emails and is always willing to help.
Dr. Okhotnikov was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is easy to understand and makes the course as easy as possible.
Professor Okhotnikov is one of the best professors I have taken at McNeese for Family Science
Amazing professor. Highly recommend taking any of his clssses.
An awesome professor. Class was not hard at all and you are easily able to pass if you study all PowerPoints and read book! Definitely recommend again !
I would 100% recommended this professor time and time again. Very easy class as long as you read textbook and PowerPoint and he is always prompt and available to answer any questions about assignments.
This was one of the most enjoyable online classes I've ever taken. His quizzes are straightforward and the few assignments sprinkled in were actually fun to do. Dr. Elijah truly cares about his student's success and he makes that very clear. He has excellent availability if you ever need him. I would definitely take his class again.
This class is very simple. Most weeks there were two assignments due on Sunday, you have the whole week to do them and they are pretty simple and straight forward.
Great professor! The class was easy and straightforward.
Dr. Elijah has been, by far, one of my favorite professors to date. He is the most understanding and helpful professor anyone could ever ask for. If you're taking a class that Dr. Elijah provides, you'd be making a mistake not to pick his course. 10/10
Dr. Elijah is such a great professor! His class was very to the point. He had assignments due each Sunday by midnight so you have the whole week to do them!
He is a very understanding professor. He requires your best effort, but if you have any personal issues that happen to affect your work in his class, he will work with you to the best of his abilities to help you get the work submitted with a little extra grace period. I would definitely take him again.
The professor goes above and beyond to help students to be successful in his course.
Amazing professor who is willing to work with to help you achieve the grade you want/deserve. Always willing to help and responds quickly. Very understanding in circumstances that come up and overall very helpful. Definitely recommend taking a course with him.
I have taken professor Okhotnikov twice now. Both classes he ensured clear and good communication with expectations for assignments. Very organized layout for online class and easy to navigate. 10/10 professor
Dr. Elijah is very communicative about assignments and deadlines. He is very passionate about teaching and providing tools for your success. He is very kind and understands that some things come up that cannot be controlled. My difficulty rating is based on the final project due at the end of the semester. Otherwise, the course was enjoyable.
I have loved taking this online course with Dr. Elijah. He is very understanding and helpful with different circumstances. He has taken the time to fully explain assignments and lets us know that he is always there if we have any questions or need any help. The information within the course has also been interesting so 12/10 in my opinion.
Dr. Elijah has been nothing but a blessing in my college career. He genuinely cares about you succeeding, wants you to reach out if there's ANY issue at all (he helped me with my math classes too), and is very easy to talk to. He understands life happens sometimes. He is very easy to work with and extremely easy to get along with.
This professor is very understanding and caring when I ask for help. He gives great feedback, and offers assistance to succeed. He responds to emails in a timely manner, and he offers the textbook through red shelf.
Had a schedule to help students stay on track. Really straightforward online course.
Loved taking this class it was very easy and straight forward. He provided a schedule for us to follow that had all the due dates for the semester. He is willing to help you out if you have any questions regarding the assignments.
I absolutely loved this class! It is very easy, there is only one quiz per week in the online textbook and one project that was pretty fun.
Dr. Elijah is one of my favorite professors here at McNeese since I've been a student. He is very understanding and willing to help at all times. I would 10/10 recommend Dr. Elijah to all students.
Dr. Elijah was Great! Very informative and always there for questions anytime! Online class was very direct read a chapter and take a 15 point quiz each week. End project was actually fun and he gives chances for extra credit.
I loved this class!! Would definitely take again! Not very time consuming at all.
Weekly quizzes and a family project due at the ends of the semester. the "textbook" is accessible through the class moodle and you take the weekly quizzes through the online book.
Great professor! Truly cares about his students and their success. Makes learning fun! I wish more professors were like this.
This is by far my favorite professor! I've take three of his classes and I look forward to them each time. Availability is not a problem and he's always encouraging. I know that if I have a question I will receive a positive response and he really cares about your success in the class!
I took this class as an elective my last semester. The online course was organized and easy to navigate. There were weekly chapter readings and quizzes. There was only one major assignment, which we had all semester to work on. It was fairly easy and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, got 100%. Overall very informative, manageable, and fun class.
I loved Dr. Elijah. He is so ready and willing to help. He is available by email or Microsoft teams outside of class and responds promptly. I can't wait to take him again next semester.
Dr. Elijah Was a Great professor to have. I have a few other classes to take with him and I am definitely looking forward to it.
Absolutely wonderful Professor! Definitely cares about his students and will work with you to make sure you understand material and have it all turned in. Would take him again for sure!
He was really easy to contact about assignments and wants to help you succeed in his class.
If I could take every single one of my classes with him as the professor, I would. He is the best teacher I have ever had. I love that everything is so organized. You receive all due dates for the whole semester on Day 1 of class and he gives detailed instructions. He's incredibly considerate and he always makes time for you.
Overall, I enjoyed taking this class. Beware that the tests can be very difficult if you do not read the material beforehand.
Make sure to stay on top of your coursework and you will be fine. Also, make sure to read assigned readings at least twice before taking quizzes as they can be slightly difficult.
very reasonable and understanding, do not be afraid to talk to him and ask questions
This class was very easy as long as you read the syllabus and communicated with the professor.
This was my favorite class of the semester! The assignments and requirements were the same each week so there were no surprises. Dr. Okhotnikov tries really hard to ensure your success. Easy A in my opinion!
This class and professor were easy and very hard to fail. Weekly assignments that went with the book. The final project seemed difficult at first but ended up being very easy to complete.
He truly cares about his students and works hard to make sure they understand the material. He communicates often through email and is always easy to reach. Would definitely take him again!
GREATTTTT
Great and easy course. He made it very interesting
Dr. Elijah is a very caring professor who I believe wants to see every student succeed. This class was easy to follow and keep up with. I would definitely take his class again. The other professors for the fmsc classes try to put to much work, but Dr. Elijah only has like 1 quiz a week with one additional assignment.(easy)
As long as assignments are completed up to standards, you'll get an A! He was very proactive and always available for help.
I enjoyed the class and he many hands on activities for us to do as well as made assignments fun and open to ah ha moments. He is very much so a stickler for APA citations that really was the stictest part of the class honestly, making sure your citations were right to avoid intentional and unintentional plagarism.
A good teacher to take and puts students' success first!
This is the first review of a teacher I have submitted, and it is solely because of how completely phenomenal this teacher is. This man goes above and beyond for his students. His expectations are clear, his method is straightforward, & he gives feedback every step of the way. Take his class and do not even think twice about it.
Theres 6 Tests, 6 Assignments, 1 Final Project, and 2 bonuses. As long as you keep up with text & PPT's it's an easy A. If you're not willing to put in the work, easy F. Dr. Eli is also super understanding as long as you communicate with him. He actually wants students to succeed, which is rare at this school. 100% will take his class again.
Literally the easiest and most caring teacher I have had throughout my college time!
He's an awesome professor and is worth taking!
Dr.Elijah was a great professor for the semester I had him. He was always sending out emails making sure we knew what was coming up and always encouraging us to ask questions if we needed help and always made sure we knew that he cared about us and wanted us to do our best.
He emails weekly, clearly cares about students' success, and takes interest in your lives. Overall, he is a great professor.
very understanding and very easy class
Dr. Okhotnikov was a great professor who I would recommend to anyone wanting/needing to take FMSC241. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, he is happy to help. He gave great feedback and responded quickly to any questions I had giving a clear answer.

The course content was delivered in a clear and concise manner. Professor Ilya was always available to answer questions and provided timely and detailed feedback on assignments.

He's really quick when it comes to responding to emails. His emails are also very encouraging and he's very understanding. Chapter quizzes are graded for completion, and they help on the chapter tests. Chapter tests are graded for accuracy.
This is by far the most caring professor I have ever had. He understands that life circumstances come up and allows extensions when needed; allowing all students to perform well in this course. His class is great for people majoring in Psychology and would like to learn more about interpersonal relationships! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
One of my favorite professors. This is the third time I have taken him and I would take him over again.
great professor. no tests just textbook quizzes and a big project (45% of grade). he also has 2 extra credit assignments. you can tell he cares about you and the class and wants you to do well. i would take again.
Really great professor who cares for his students. The only work you have is weekly quizzes and a FLCP project that is 45 % of your grade. He also gives you the chance to earn points for two bonus assignments at the end of the semester. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
This professor gives his students every opportunity possible to pass his class with flying colors. He offers extra credit work and allows late work to be turned in. He is also extremely adamant that students reach out to him if they are struggling in his class

He is an amazing professor; very caring and understanding. I really enjoyed this course and I would definitely take another course with him again.
Great Professor!
Such a caring proffessor easy to contact and definitely give u everything u could need
Dr. Elijah is a very professional and knowledgeable professor. He is always willing to answer any questions the student has, sometimes at all hours of the night. He does give extra credit/bonus opportunities but as long as you do the assignments on time and efficiently you will not even need those bonuses.
talk to him about anything and he will aid in your success.
The professor communicated clearly in the online instructions and I didn't need to contact him for help. The schedule for what we did week by week was consistent. A good professor for online classes.
This professor was good for online classes. The instructions were clear and I didn't need to ask him for help. Additionally, the assignments were pretty consistent week by week, so it was easy to keep track of what we needed to do. Overall, a good professor for online classes
This professor was very caring and understanding about a medical situation that happened to me during this semester. He is always willing to help you just have to ask. The homework is not hard, you just have to read chapters and take quizzes on them. I printed the chapters out to help me. He also gives extra credit opportunities.
The class had a nice and easy to understand lay out with almost all assignments explained in simple details. My only issue with this class was trying to understand the requirements of the Family Life Cycle project which I did manage to do.
Dr. Elijah really cares about this course and his students. He was always emphasizing that he wanted us to pass no matter what and offered help via email or Zoom call to anyone who was struggling.

Dr. Elijah is the best professor that McNeese has ever hired! He genuinely cares about his students, and I have been lucky enough to gain his knowledge. He is a gem, and I will always look up to him!
This was a very fun class. It is usually a 7 weeks course but I wish it was a full semester course! I wish I would offer feedback on discussion post, though!
He was great! I would take him again in the future.
Dr. Okhotnikov is the best Professor I've had in my 4 years of being a collegiate student. He is extremely kind, coring, helpful, respectful, and understanding. He is always very aware of how many assignments his students are juggling and extremely understanding of real-life responsibilities. I absolutely recommend him and any/all of his course! JP
Dr. Elijah is an amazing professor. He doesn't overload us with work, he takes time to provide through feedback, and he offers extra credit. 10/10 would take again.

REALLY ENJOYED HIS CLASS. ITS ALOT OF READING, BUT WORTH IT.
Awesome professor! Love him.
Dr. Elijah is amazing and is willing to work with you to ensure your success in his class
Dr. Elijah was an amazing professor! It can be a little hard to understand what he's asking of you because he is Russian, but every single question I had, he provided great and detailed answers to. The only thing I will say is that there was more writing involved than I expected, but it was all simple and easy to understand and make good grades on!
Dr. Elijah is great. He can be slightly hard to understand sometimes, but will answer any of your questions and with detail. He wants you to succeed.
Great teacher
Just do the assignments. It's self paced. I finished all my assignments, including quizzes within a week. Then I had five weeks to work on the big paper which isn't hard either. TAKE THE CLASS! or any class Professor Elijah teaches. You won't be disappointed.
If you show you are trying your best, he will see it.
Very patient, willing to help as much as he can. He is here for the student.
The professor is amazing
Great teacher and communicated very effectively. Assignments were engaging and enjoyable to learn about. They conveyed material very well even through the course was online. \
Easy to get in contact with and understanding of students' time. Feedback on submissions are delayed.
Dr. Okhotnikov's Parenting includes a final project that takes a lot of time! Trust me when I say to start it from the beginning.

I'm not only grateful to have him as an instructor, but truly inspired by his passion for what he does. 10/10 recommend!

Dr. Elijah is everything a college student could want in a teacher. He is caring, easy to get in touch with, and EXTREMLY helpful. He understands that life happens and when he says he's devoted to your success, he means it. He is the reason I decided to minor in family science.
The professor is very helpful and willing to clarify assignments. Although the workload can be heavy, using unstuck AI along with the free textbook made the course manageable. Overall, a great learning experience.
One of the best professors! Was eager to help students strive in his class. Communicates through TEAMS and answers quickly!

Dr. Elijah cares for his students success, he will not try to make you fail, and he is all about understanding people's circumstances. I definitely would recommend him!
I've taken him for 4 classes now, this is my 5th with him, and he is AMAZING! He truly cares and does everything to help you pass with great grades. FMSC 421 is a lot of work but he makes it super underwhelming. I can't recommend him enough!
Dr Elijah is amazing, he cares so much for his students and wants nothing but the best.
This was a very easy class to take. Not too much book work but still very interesting
He is so supportive! He made me feel Comfortable in asking questions and was always very responsive.
I've had Dr. Elijah for several courses, as well as an advisor and he is AMAZING! As a nontraditional student (36-year-old married mother of three with two jobs), Dr. E is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is understanding, caring and accommodating. He expects participation, but goes the extra mile to make sure you understand!
This professor is very understanding of circumstances that may impact your education and is willing to work with you to help achieve your goals when it comes to his courses. I feel that we do not have enough of that when it comes to college professors and having him as a teacher has been beneficial for me as a student.
THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST PROFFOR THAT I HAVE EVER TAKEN, HE IS ACCESSIBLE AND WELCOMING. GIVES POSITIVE FEED BACK AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WANTS TO SEE EVERYONE SUCCED.
This is by far one of the best professors I have had taken, he is very knowledgeable and wants everyone to succeed.
I 100% recommend taking Dr. Elijah. He is extremely understanding and wants only the best for all his students! I can tell he loves what he does, and he is one of the only professors that I have ever truly liked having!
For an online class, he is very good about providing assignment explanations. Be prepared for very technical, specific assignment instructions. Lots of extra credit. Reiterates instructions often, makes videos and seems like he genuinely cares.
One of the best professors out there! I've taken two of his online classes, and his is very considerate of students' lives outside of class. I only took the class so I could earn credits for an elective, but taking his class made me appreciate the subject much more. I absolutely recommend him for anyone! I wish more professors were like him here.
Very encouraging and seems like he wants us to succeed
I would highly recommend Dr. Elijah. His online class was easy to navigate and had clear due dates. He was extremely understanding when things came up and responded relatively quickly. There was one term project and each week there were two quizzes and a test due.
Dr. Elijah was super helpful and understanding. Everything you need to know and do is right there on moodle and i would 100% take his class again if i need to.
Dr. Elijah was great. He was super to the point and cared about the students success in his class. I would 1 million percent take his class again if need be.
I missed a couple assignments but he was lenient with me and let me make them up.

His lectures and assignments are very straightforward and easy to follow, and the resources he provides are also helpful with exploring careers in the field of family science.
Dr. Eli was awesome! Very helpful, accessible to students, willing to meet and help every student succeed. If you do badly in his course, it's because you haven't taken initiative to meet with him or ask questions. He is always ready to give practical advice and help!

His quizzes can be a little challenging, but he is an extremely fair grader. He also offers extensions to anyone all throughout the semester. He also grades quickly.
Dr. Elijah is very caring, and understanding. Some professors don't care about their student's success, but he isn't one. I've taken him 3 times and will continue to.
The course itself was great. Dr. Elijah cares a lot about his students. I have no complaints. I will take him again.
The class was overall great. I would consider myself a good writer, and I struggled significantly in this class with the writing assignments. Although he gives extensive feedback, I feel like it is difficult to meet his expectations in 500 words. Rest of the course is great though.
his teaching style is to be really understanding and to first understand your situation out of class and how he can work with you. He constantly talks about how he wants you to really learn this course because it's helpful for you.
The professor is very detailed on his syllabus about class expectations. He is eager to help his students and I appreciate that.
Second time I have taken him, he's GREAT. Really understanding and does not pile work on you.

Dr. Elijah is an amazing professor. He really cares about all students.
Wants his students to succeed and is available to help with anything you have! Great Proffessor
Easy class, you just have to keep up with all the assignments. He's very nice and understanding if you need extensions on due dates.
Dr. Elijah is the most caring teacher I have ever had in my life. As a nontraditional student, I have many barriers at times that prevent me from doing things as well as I'd like to at times. He's so supportive and understanding. I'm also thankful that he is openly religious. A teacher who prays for and with you is the best!
You do have to use the book in order to quote it in your assignment s but other than that the class is easy. He's very understanding when it comes to late work! But ofc don't overuse your power.
This is my third class with this professor, and by far, he is the most understanding one I've had. Generally cares about students and wants you to succeed. He is understanding when it comes to late work and is overall just friendly and supportive. I would recommend it to anyone.
Professor Okhotnikov was great!
He provides everything we need to be successful in his class.
Dr. Elijah is clear on what's expected on every assignment. He operates in excellence and expects the same from his students. The requirements are more geared towards students thinking about new concepts taught vs just for a letter grade. It's true when he says he wants his students to succeed. He's reachable and willing to help as much as he can.
Dr. Elijah is a great professor and cares about his students. Would take him again.
This professor is also my advisor. However, he is very helpful and exlains everything you need to know to pass his class. He is very responsive on teams and always willing to help in anyway he can.
GRADING IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. NOT CONSISTENT
I enjoyed this parenting class and learned so much. It was challenging but rewarding. The lectures were amazing. Dr. Elijah is one of those professors who truly cares about the success of his students. There are weekly readings, quizzes, questions, and some observations. You will learn a lot and do well if you apply yourself and do the work.
I have taken every class that he teaches, and have had an amazing experience with all of them! He really cares about the student's well-being. He is my absolute favorite teacher! Highly recommend!
I have taken all of his classes. He truly cares about the student's well-being. I feel I have benefited as a person for have taken his classes. I highly recommend this professor!
I could go on about Dr Elijah for DAYS!!! He is an amazing professor that cares for his students SOOO much! He takes the time to write emails/teams chats to help students and give clear feedback on assignments. All of his classes are awesome!
