PROF.ORLOVA WAS AWESOME. THIS COURSE CAN BE CHALLENGING BUT SHE MADE IT VERY EASY FOR STUDENTS TO FOLLOW. SHE ASSIGNS HOMEWORK, AND ALWAYS GOES OVER IT IN CLASS WHICH HELPS WITH UNDERSTANDING OF THE MATERIAL. SHE IS VERY CARING, AND GIVES EXTRA CREDIT TO HELP WITH THE GRADE. WILL DEFINITELY TAKE HER AGAIN.

Took her for Intro to Stats class during the winter. There were 3 tests, 3 quizzes (drops lowest grade if you attend all classes), and a final exam. It is very fast pace, but she will go over anything you are confused on. She does randomly call on you so be prepared! Lastly, she offers extra credit which is for the final exam.

I took statistics in the winter with her, and professor Orlova had made it very palatable. She always answers all your questions very patiently. She sometimes calls on students, to help out not to catch you out, and in a very friendly manner. Great discussions in class, it helped me to get an A in the course, and I am not very good in math.

If you're taking set theory and logic it's so easy. She's very understating.

She creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable participating. Yes, she does call on you ask questions from homework she gave the previous day. She's very supportive and always willing to help students succeed. Thank you Prof. O for your teaching skills.

I took statistics in the winter session and it wasn't bad.Once you take notes and participate you will understand the material she gives.She was even nice enough to photocopy the textbook homework so you really didn't need to buy a book.She has a dry funny sense of humor. I enjoyed it. In the winter she gave 3 test 3 quizzes an homework every day.

Professor Orlova is a great Professor. She is very cooperative with students and she is kind as well. I loved the ALEKS software we used in class. It helped me to really understand the topics. When I say God blessed me with this class, I mean it. As long as you keep up with assignments and attendance, you'll pretty much be chillin' all semester.

I lovedddd professor Orlova. I love how she teaches she makes everything so clear to me. She would be a little harsh sometimes but that's because she genuinely wanted me to do good so I never felt a way. She always wanted to make sure I had everything down pack. Overall a great professor.
