loved her! she was cool and wanted her students to pass

She was very good, and kept the class interesting. She also joked around a lot and kept the environment laid back. Her exams were easy, and she was always available if anyone needed help. I highly recommend her!

Her accent is not as hard to understand as people say. She is extremely intelligent and the class is one of the easiest I've ever taken. She gives outlines of every lecture and you don't have to buy the book or really take notes and you can still get a A.

She was a good professor. guided students. took over after prof. celenzo took ill and made me life easy. highly recomended.

super nice lady but kinda boring. she has a stong accent so its hard to understand her. she tells the class that she knows its requirement and that she doesn't want to fail anybody. There is a huge curve on the final grades.

You not gonna find easier class. One of the disadvantages is that professor has an accent, however, if you can cope with that, good grade is guaranteed. Advantages: 1-don't have to buy the book,2-take notes, and you will see the same problems on the test, 3-She writes all formulas on the board, 4-Her labs is just a joke-first grader will understand

even if there where times i couldn't understand her i still pass her exams. Take her she is extremely easy and there no way u can fail.

Take her. There no way u can fail. Just make sure that you do all homeworks... I know that i made a lot of mistakes on my final, but i got an A. Very very boring and she has a very very strong accent. One guy felt asleep and was snoring lol. But she lets everyone go earlier.

Very easy, take this professor to get a very good grade. Just make sure you do labs. She has very strong accent but she explains very good.

Take her.

She said at beginning of the semester she wouldn't fail anyone. Just studying all the handouts she gives can help a lot on the test because the test is similiar to the handout questions--the book isn't needed at all. Try to go to all the labs. She has a strong accent but overall she is a decent professor.

PHYSICS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR ME, BUT THIS PROFESSOR IS REALLY HELPFUL, SO I DID NOT JUST PASSED, BUT GOT AN A. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER.

As others mentioned, don't buy the book, just read her handouts and pay attention when she says in class "oh, remember this part, there might be a question on the test about it..." HINT HINT! She lets you write out a formula sheet and bring it to the exam, so that makes it much easier to do well!

The NICEST person in the physics dept. Lab was a breeze with her and she is a motherly figure. Don't miss out.

SUCH A SWEET HEART!!!! SWEETNESS!!! GAVE A SWEET HUG AT THE END! WILL MISS HER! :)

I really loved her, she is amazing, she knows its a core class and would never make your life miserable, she is such a a great person, amazing teacher, keeps everyone relaxed, no pressure, one of the greatest personalities ive ever known. Take her, this professor is truly great

Best professor to take for this core class wants to make life as easy as possible for you exams are a breeze you can use your notes while taken the exam what more can you ask for easy class must take

shes easy and adorable! always trying to help, offers extra credits, always around whenever u need her, very understanding, i think students would be getting much better grades if all professor were like prof Godenko, she does have an accent, but u get used to it after few lectures, she explains really well and exams are fair for a physics class

very nice and easy she i svery knowledgeable... and will answer any question as long as it pertains to the class... highly recommend her

i love this woman!!! Shes funny and sweet and knows her stuff!! When doing lab reports dont forget percent error!!! Other than that she's pretty laid back.

She is too good to be true!!!

She's a really nice professor.Makes the class interesting and is helpful with homework's or any material.Overall,she makes the class easy and somehow interesting.I would take her again for other courses

She is the best professor ever in BC. She is very helpful and tries to make the class easy for students. Highly recommended!

Most of these comments are skewed. Dr. Godenko is a great professor who explains rather complicated material in a manner that is easy to understand. Her class focuses on the aspects of physics that are required for standardized tests (GRE/MCAT/GMAT). She is a fair 'grader' and is always available if you need extra help.

It was very difficult for me to understanad her accent. Physics is hard enough for me so that made it harder. She was understanding and tried to be helpful but that didn't help me. Met with her twice for office hours ad joined Physics club. That helped alot but I still ended up withdrawing from the class.

She will do her best to make you pass. She is extremely helpful. She knows what she is teaching. If your going to take her as a core, you should go for it. 2 really easy midterms, and a final. She drops the lowest grade out of all. She gave us an extra credit.

Accent is a little unbearable but very easy class nonetheless. Easiest A I've ever gotten. Never needed to use the book, just brought it to cite parts for my final but I only read about 10 pages out the book the whole semester. Easy assignments no test.

I had her for physics 1 before and she was very helpful. If you come to her office during office hours she explains everything. Her tests are somewhat difficult. If you do every question in the book you should be fine. You need to come to class to pass, especially to recitation. Physics is a hard class, not an easy A if you don't do problems.

Her accent makes her a bit hard to understand but she provides handouts, which have notes on whats covered in class. If you print them out beforehand and use them in class, it makes it a lot easier to follow. She allows you to use a reference sheet for her exam, and if you create one wisely you'll be fine. She's really nice and accommodating.

love her!

Godenko understands student workload from major classes and teaches her core class accordingly. Show up, do your presentation, write your assignments, and get an A. If you need a core and have a lot of other things going on this is the class for you.

She is a great lecturer and really helps you understand the material. Her accent takes a little time to get used to. She is willing to help during her office hours and really cares about her students. She understands that students are very concerned about exams and makes sure e.o is prepared well for them with practice probs.

This is the best professor for Physics by far in BC She takes the sometimes difficult concepts in the textbook and simplifies and makes them easy to comprehend She explain things on her own time like before class after class and anytime you just send her an email She also grades very reasonably with lots of partial credit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is a really excellent professor i meet in physic class. when she knows some students have some problem, she explain to all his student. because she wants everyone to get an A in physics class, she is an excellent professor i know. I really receoment everyone to take her physics class

this is a really cool professor because she always helps her students. i cant agree more

Honestly, she is the best physics teacher i ever met.

This Physics teacher is excellent. She makes everything so easy to understand and explains thoroughly; tests are exactly what she went over in class and she has a comprehensive review with handouts before each test. The review is very similar to the test. The homework is directly related to the test. You don't even need the textbook. RECOMMEND!

she is the best physics teacher forever

This professor provides the review sheet to her students, and it is very similar with her exam sheets, so i always can get higher than 90

Because she really want everyone to pass her course, she gives the lowest scores which is 60+. No matter you pass her exam or not, she never give students lower than 60. I really recommand and will take her class again.

she is cool

good teacher

Easy A

I finally know why everyone like to take her class

A GOOD feedback is better than everything

there is no any physics teacher better than her

excellent

holy PROFESSOR In BC

review sheetextra creditmake up and take home exam

really easy A

very nice lady

very good

excellent PROFESSOR

All i can say is that he is indeed one of the best in his field at this school. Explains each topic down to the core. His quizzes are straight to the point. Expect a quiz every class. If you really want to pass discrete he is the right professor to take. He is such a sweet and polite man. He always asks if something is clear before moving on.

He's the most caring professor that you will meet on life. Def taking his class again. He makes you get an A yes or yes

What I remember is she made the test very easy, 2 midterm and 1 final, I finally get a A. No more thanks I can give you

I want to take physics 2 with this professor

she makes the test easy and I think she is the most easy A PHYSICS I met.

I am a PHYSICS major student and I never see this easy professor since only she makes the test easy

even though she has that Russian accent her teaching style is excellent

Expected physics to be one of the worst classes I had ever taken however, it turned out to be one of the best classes I had ever taken because of professor Godenko

I fail my midtermbut I see the final is an A. ty

I took her class in 2017, I appreciate this professor since she makes me be a real college student

Love her! Very nice professor! 3 tests -1 drop, Quiz every week (only one question) and HW online. Just take this class with her. She is very kind and nice.

Had her for lab, she was the sweetest professor ever. Do your work on time and follow her guidelines, you'll be fine. She is helpful and if you made a mistake she realizes its not the end of the world. I'd take her over any other physics prof.

Ok, I'm gonna be honest and say I couldn't understand a lot of the lectures because of her accent but that's not her fault at all. So, there may be some element of self-teaching here. That said, she's very sweet, she wants people to pass, and everything is laid out very clearly. I'd take her again and sit close to the front.

While I agree she isn't the greatest lecturer, she is extremely kind and does her best to help students succeed.

Lectures can feel slow and drag on, but she is an incredibly nice person that wants all her students to succeed. She is a kind grader on exams and is accessible if you have questions. Put in the effort to know your physics and the exams will be alright.

This is my second time taking this course, not with this professor, although I wish had. Night and day difference. Clear explanations of the formulas, and solves problems in class that really help for exams and quizzes. Very knowledgeable and caring. Show and make an effort to succeed and the rest will click. Take her.

LOVE Prof Godenko! She is caring and understanding. Her lectures are interesting and she is very straight forward in tests and grading. She does reviews of the material that you need to know for your tests and she really wants you to succeed. She is not work heavy, just show up to your classes and do the tests and you'll pass.

Professor Godenko is an amazing professor. I had little physics knowledge prior to taking her course, and I truly feel confident in my physics abilities after finishing her class. I highly recommend taking any class with her, as she is one of the sweetest and most caring professors I've ever had. She genuinely wants everyone to succeed.

Great professor. Really cares about helping you learn the material.

An easy lesson and a wonderful one that I would advise you to take

Professor Godenko is a caring instructor who breaks down concepts clearly. Attending lectures and using resources like unstuckstudy are key to succeeding in this course. It's challenging but worth the effort.

Very sweet professor, cares about her students, but her lecture style is not super clear. It's unfortunate at least 1/3 of the class cheats on her exams. Drops lowest midterm, lowest assignment, and 3 lowest quizzes (all except midterm are online). Exams are tough but fair.

Professor Godenko is very sweet and caring towards her students. Her exams are tough and her online assignments definitely make you work hard to get the answers. You will have to do a lot of self studying in the class to do well by doing textbook questions and ALL her online assignments and past quizzes. Lenient grader gives a lot of partial credit

Very sweet lady, does her best to try and boost her students' grades. Exams are tough but fair, yet a lot of students cheat which hurts your final curve. Attending lecture isn't enough, mostly conceptual with little practice of exam questions. YOU HAVE TO SELF STUDY by reviewing the assignments and quizzes, she gives enough resources to get an A.
