Great professor! She has an accent, but after a while, you learn to listen to it and ignore it. She did a very nice job explaining calc II ! I recommend her. She is very systematic in all that she writes up on the board. Her tests are fair and not too challenging if you do all the homework and come to class!

Loved this teacher i had her for 121 and 150 she's grate! She's very clear about what she expects and she's very helpful during class and during her office hours. She teaches the material thoroughly and she's very nice in person too. i would definately recommend Irina as an instructor :)

AMAZING PROF. explained everything clearly and was very helpful with questions. I had previously failed math 121 but with Irina I passed with a B+. I will do everything I can to take another math class with her and highly recommend her!

Great teacher, her accent can be a little distracting at times but if you are paying attention I don't think it affects your ability to learn from her at all. I think she is amazing!

Teaches everything by the literal definition. Tests and quizzes are challenging. Ended up doing a CR/NR. One of those professors with no mercy. No notes and no calculators on tests!

Amazing Professor. She teaches in a very detail manner and she is happy to answer any questions. Her test are quizzes are hard though, but do the home work and you should be fine.

Great Teacher! Very helpful and pretty passionate about math. Her tests are straightforward. Doesn't grade homework, and periodic 2 question quizzes. Definitely made calc easy to understand!

Irina was a pretty hard and strict math teacher. She is strict about notation and she hated it when you made simple math errors. But she was very helpful and explained the work well. I believe she is an excellent teacher. If you start off bad she will help, but if she doesn't see improvement she will stop caring. Just work hard and do homework.

Irina is very smart and I liked her class. The quizzes and exams she warns you about in advance and also tells you what will be covered. Her accent is a little tough sometimes, but usually very clear. Some may think she's a little harsh, but they should probably act like adults in college.

Not an easy professor,but if to want to really learn calculus take her. Wonderful professor! Little hard on the grading notation is really important. Overall i recommend her. Not impossible to get an A, just put in the work.

Great class I enjoyed it. This class in my opinion is straightforward except for series. I think she is a great teacher. taught me a ton of notion which I appreciate. Like a pervious comment said, if you want to learn calculus you can not ask for a better teacher. Piece of advice "Show up on time to class"

This class was extremely useful if you want to learn calc. She is a great teacher. She is tough with her grading but I learned a lot from her. I am glad I took her class. I learned a lot

Mrs. Vasileva was a wonderful teacher! She tells you exactly how your work should be so she is a tough grader on tests and quizzes. Homework isn't mandatory but I highly recommend doing it because practicing is the only way to do well in her class. 12 unannounced quizzes (10 pts each but she drops the two lowest), 3 tests (100), and a final (200).

Irina may seem really cold or tough, but she is the clearest Calculus teacher I have ever had. If you are trying hard and are doing your homework, you will do great in her class. Irina has an incredibly low tolerance for careless students and interruptions, but she will give you respect in return for your respect for her.

She may be a tough teacher but as long as you do your work and do not dis respect her you will do well

Tough but a good instructor nonetheless.

Irina was honestly a great and helpful 181 professor. She is strict on cell phones and texting, talking, and tardiness. But if you're there to learn that shouldn't be a problem. Irina was also strict about notation, but it teaches you a lot. Do the homework, and everything is very straightforward. She's very clear and friendly- just do your work.

Professor Vasileva is definitely a tough grader but gives you good feedback as to what she expects. Out of most math professors I've had at UNM, she is by far one of the best. She expects a lot from her students but backs these expectations by providing you with the knowledge needed to do well in the class. Do the homework, ask questions!

She is a very tough grader, but she is a great teacher. She is very clear on the work she shows us, therefore expects us to know it. She may come off as very serious and rude but if you talk to her one on one, she is very caring and nice. I didn't get the best grade overall, but that comes from my part, not hers.

Vasileva's lectures were fast-paced, but she always answers questions and will re-work through specific parts of problems to make sure you understand them. Hw is optional, but really should be done because the quizzes (there are 10-12) are usually 1-3 problems of medium difficulty from the homework. Gave lots of good feedback on the four exams!

Although there is a lot of homework assigned, she does not collect but expects that students keep up on their own. She is a great lecturer and leaves everything simple. Keep up with the homework, do the reviews ahead of time, and you should be fine. She is a tough and particular grader.

Dr. Vasileva is a great professor. Her notes on the board are really clearly written, and she takes time to answer questions. She is very nice and approachable. Go to her office hours. She is very specific in her grading, but is up front about it from the start. Study her notation. But, if you aren't willing to do the work, you won't pass.

First off, she is very strict when it comes to grading. However, all math professors at UNM are. Her lectures are very useful so write everything she writes down. She is a sticker for correct procedure. She comes across very harsh, but if you show up to class and on time, she will answer your questions. F off about her accent, she can't help it.

Professor Vasileva is the best math teacher I've had. When teaching, she makes it extremely clear what her steps are and why she took them. She never rushes material and is very clear about what you need to do to get an A on the tests. She is strict on both grading and attendance, so show your work and go to class.

She does a good job @ explaining the concepts. Was open to students who attended her office hours. Also gave additional credit if you showed your work. For her online class, she had us do WebAssign which was due 3 times a week. You won't spend more than 1.5 - 2 hours on each assignment. Tests take up a large part of your grade, so you better study

Professor Vasileva is one of the greatest math teachers that I have ever had throughout my academic journey so far. Every concept in her class was not only clear, but it was also interesting. I found myself easily understanding everything. Definitely take this class. She does mark off points on tests, but it is completely warranted.

I suck at all math but Irina has been and always will be the best math teacher Ive ever had. Her lectures make me interested in math and. She is clear, humorous, engaging and anyone who complains about her is lame. She makes it clear how she grades things and shes not unfair. Anything less than 5 stars is treason.

Professor Irina really cares for her students. She helped me so much and explains things well. The class is pretty much self taught because its on ALEKS but the tutors and Irina were great at explaining things you don't understand. She also responds quickly to emails. She deserves a higher rating!

By far the best math professor I've had. She would introduce a concept and then practice for the rest of class, explaining clearly each step of the process. I thought the homework also helped me to cement the material. The tests were difficult, but she did really well at helping us review. She really knows the material.

Had for applied calc. She is very strict, wants things done her way, and a hard ass. It can be hard to get things if you dont get them "her" way. But shes also genuinely passionate about math and absolutely willing to work with you. She gave me a ton of extensions after midterms and I went to office hours and passed.

She is the best math professor I ever had. She has an accent I guess so you need to pay attention and go to class, her explanation are amazing, she explain every process in the problem she does and she gives a lot of examples, she will help you during the office hours to do problems you didn't understand and she is really clear when she explain.

Have had Irina a couple of times now. She is very strict but she is a great professor. Her lectures are very clear and she really explains the concepts well. She makes it very clear what will be on the tests and quizzes and does tons of example problems just like the ones she will put on there. She is very helpful at her office hours.

If the reviews are scaring you off, it's because she's just too good! I have never taken any Trig before this class, and I got a 96 on the final! If you show up and take your notes and ask questions she will plainly explain to you. Super old-fashioned! Do your work, be respectful, be timely. I wish she would teach all my math courses.

This lady is a little tough because her class is very lecture heavy, if you miss a class you miss a lot of content but I've taken this class with someone else before and Irina was so much better. She is very direct and answers any question you have. This class is difficult in general, it is not the professors fault.

Vasileva is excellent. She frequently points out common mistakes students make and how to avoid them, and is extremely helpful during office hours. Be on time, don't use your phone during class, go to every class, and you'll be fine. There is one homework assignment and one quiz a week, four exams which are just like the homework. 3-5 hours / week.

tough course but very do-able. Irina is strict but really does care about her students. She has a little accent but teaches very clear and I didnt have a problem with it. She is always available during office hours. Dont let the reviews scare you off, she is really great. Be sure to review algebra prior! Show up to learn and you will do fine

She's a sweet lady people give her a hard time due to her accent (which isn't thick). Show up, take notes, do homework, and you'll be fine. Honestly, if you only do the first 5 problems from each homework over and over you should be set. She likes to pull problems from either the lecture/homework. Know how to do the problem and label correctly.
