Igolnikov is very effective at presenting the material in class. While the class itself is not easy, his effectiveness in teaching allowed me to learn alot. Homework load was reasonable and is willing to help anyone who needs help.

Very good & fair professor

He is a very efficient teacher. He explains all the material clearly. Fair grader and homework load is decent.

i really enjoyed this teacher. he kept the content minimal and easy. he was never out to trick you on any of the tests and was always there to help out. 5 tests (a good thing imho) and home work packets due the day before each test (also a good thing. think of it as free points).

his material when presented is clear. grades very fairly, goes over material into detail, and the tests are not long and it covers material that he goes trough.

Good teacher. Explains things pretty thoroughly. Very good at giving partial credit for tests. Doesn't like talking in his class. Wears funny t-shirts. Would probably take again.

He is a good teacher and knows his math. He has an accent and it is sometimes hard to understand, but for the most part I enjoyed his class. You should do the homework because the points are super easy and he only has you do 7 problems from each section. He gives partial credit on tests which helps your grade a lot.

very good teacher, adds a little humor to make it interesting. explains material very clear. material is hard to understand, but he makes it a lot easier to understand. helps during group work and makes sure students understand the material.

Very good teacher! He's helpful and understandable. I think he's much better than other calc teachers in the school. Exams are not hard if you read the homeworks you've done. Answer any questions. Overall, he's GOOD!!

NICE TEACHER, SEMI-EASY TEST THAT IS IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK... ONE OF THE BEST MATH TEACHER THERE IS....

THIS PROFESSOR IS A GOOD PROFESSOR, HE IS THERE TO HELP YOU IF YOU ASK. BOTH HIS TESTS AND THE HOMEWORK IS SHORT. IT MAY SEEM LIKE HE GOES KINDA FAST BUT HE'S THERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN!

He knows his stuff. At first comes across as bumbling but is really brilliant. Easily the best Calc teacher in the department.

He's very approachable, willing to help you, but not very clear sometimes. Go to the activities. All the ques you do in there are on the tests. Dont really need to come to class as long as you get the hw except ACT. gives partial credit on tests which is a plus

he is such a good teacher. hes nice, tries to make jokes, and doesnt not grade very hard on his tests! i wish i could take him for every math class!

for math 115 he is a pretty good teacher...he always asks if anyone has questions on hw...goes over the sections and reviews before test...some questions from hw are on the test...pay attention, take notes, and study, the usual...and this class will be fine...

Curve is generous, if you are consistent with your exam scores, you'll get a very good grade. No nonsense teacher as well. Effective.

His HW assnments r easy, but his lectures R a bit hard to understand cuz he has a heavy accent, but tests are also easy (just do the HW) and u'll get an easy A.

gets straight to business. he didnt really build a relationship with any of his students. i dont think he even knew a students name. overall he was very helpful and wanted all the students to know the material. 4 exams...hw assignments that only consisted of 7 probs. one cumulative final. 85 = A, 75 = B, 65 = C. accent isnt that heavy actually.

This can be a hard class if you do not do the work. So as long as you do your homework, you should pass the class with at least an A or B. His final was based on all the exams we took. So no tricks, he used the same exact questions from the previous exams on the final.

He is an okay professor, the test questions are taken from the homework questions. If you study you will be fine

Just do the all the homework he assigns and you will do fine!

This class is easy! just do your homework

helps out A LOT in activity so go!, be patient with his accent. he comes off as weird, but hey he'll give you the grade u want if you show you try. final is cake..even with failing all the tests. he rounds big time! i'd take him again, because all he wants is for his kids to pass. even though he was intimidating at first

He's really nice. His class may get boring, but he teaches. His test aren't to hard, and he gives you credit for trying, even if you fail miserably on trying to do the problem. His accent is hard to understand in the beginning, but you get use to it. He's always about 5 mins late to class, after the 3rd midterm people start ditching this class.

He's grumpy. He doesn't check attendance. The class is consists of 5 homework, 4 exams and the final. His exams are combination of the some even numbers of the book & the problems that he gives in class during the lecture and the activity. 65% is a C, 75% is a B, & 85% is an A. overall his easy

Pay attention take notes, and go to all the classes and you'll be fine. every week he gives one test question in the class he thinks will have the lowest attendance as a "reward" EXTREMELY easy grader

This professor is really nice. The tests are EXACT COPIES of HW problems and problems that he goes over in the activity class so ATTEND ACTIVITY!!! It should be an easy A if you understand the things he teaches you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a really nice guy and really funny. He pulls the test questions straight from the homework. He is always 5 mins late to class. If you ask him a question he will do the best he can to help you. If I could have him for every math class I would.

i wish this professor taught calc 3 because i would totally sign up for his class. this man knows how to teach and he wants all of us to pass. he is so helpful during activity when we get problems to do. he goes around and makes sure we know what we are doing. easy class, tests are combos of hw problems and activity problems and are really easy

Good teacher! I would recommend him to others. He has a slight Russian accent, but it's not hard to understand him. His activities are the most helpful! GO TO ACTIVITY! He answers any questions you have from homework in class. Explains everything so everyone understands it. His grading, coursework, exams are very reasonable and manageable.

Good teacher!! explains things well and is willing to take time to make sure all students understand the material.

Really nice, I was late for my final and he still let me take it in his office. One of the easier calculus II teachers, but be willing to study for every test. His tests are based on the problems he gives you in your notes so pay attention! He doesnt take roll so people ditch a lot.

Really nice. Extremely helpful. He always makes the extra effort to make sure that you understand the material. Very thorough in his teaching, don't be shy to ask/talk to him.

Very good professor. Make sure you do your hw. His tests are based on the hw. Oh and even if you don't want to, attend his activity because he will give you problems to work out that will be similar to the ones on the test. If you are not good at math then for sure you will struggle. That's all I have to say.

he's the best professor ever! he is very honest and gvies everyone what they deserve not like other teachers who give higher grade to hot girls lol . i must say , i learned mostly from book and his homeworks , and I LOVE HIS RUSSIAN ACCENT !

Eh, He's Russian so I guess that was interesting for a day. I should up for class every day unlike 80% of my class; all I can say is I am passing and they're all crying with C'c and D's. I guess all I am trying to say is if you go to class and take the notes, occasionally reference the book, you'll pass the tests.

He will take the time to answer every question that is asked of him, and he is faithful to the schedule on the syllabus. The only problem with that combination is that sometimes he will rush a section and end class late. He is also a very fair grader, gives partial points if you are on the right track trying to answer the problems.

His teaching style very straightforward. He wanted all students to do well and most question on the exam were from the book. Also he collected homework which helped a lot and it was like free 100 points out of 800. The activity class was helpful and mostly short, I loved that. He was always there for his office hours. An a is possible if you try:)

easy to understand. most questions on the tests are from the notes. gives all the answers to the test afterward. final are combined questions from the previous tests throughout semester.

I love his way of teaching. He teaches two sections a day. He goes over the material pretty fast and he doesn't make any big errors. Therefore, it was really easy to focus and have the ideas sink in. He is always 5 to 7 minutes late but it didn't bother me. Exams are straight forward based on lecture and the book. I think he is excellent.

Great teacher, attendance not mandatory however highly encouraged. Gives lots of examples, don't be afraid to ask questions during lectures, he will help!! Lecture might go overtime but its worth it. No talking and no electric devices during class! I highly recommend him!

Had him for 123 and 224. Awesome. Tests look a lot like HW and Final comes exactly from tests. 224 is a hard subject, so be prepared to study hard no matter who you get, but Igolnikov does a good job. Accent is easy to understand. Overall great class, would definitely take him again.

Igolnikov was a good math professor. I would definitely take him again. Very clear with what is expected. Test problems are taken from the textbook, so do ALL the homework (even though only 7 problems are turned in for a grade). Throws in a joke here and there to keep it lighthearted. He doesn't show up to office hours a lot, though.

I loved his way of teaching. Such an amazing professor. Goes pretty fast (2 sections per class). Exams are pretty simple if you actually do the homework, Final is taken directly from previous exams. Calc 3 gets harder at the end of the semester so try to get those A's at the beginning, so you aren't crying at the end for getting a C (like me)

Igolnikov, yes, has an accent. Yes, can be hard to understand. However, if you have a decent math background can follow the example you will follow the work he provides on the board. I got an 'A' in 370A after retaking it from Spring. His way of 370A is honestly the best. His Homework is a lot even though you only have to turn in 7 problems.

He says that the questions on the exams are straight from the homework but in actuality they are normally the problems he doesn't assign and then he changes the problems so they are a 1000 times harder!! Make sure to get A's on the first 3 exams so that if you do bad on the 4th exam and the final you can still pass.(but he does give partial credit)

I wish I could have taken more classes with this guy - funny and a Ducks fan. He walks everyday to class, so he's always 5-10 min late, and hates the rain. He's super good at math, and his tests are straight from HW, and final is straight from previous tests - I love knowing what's coming

Professor was GREAT! He was strict with having your devices out, or talking in class, but he knew his stuff. His English wasn't all that great, however, he was still able to get the lesson through and he was able to explain everything to the T. I would take him again if I had a chance.

Took his Math 60 class at Cerritos college. He Is not a bad professor and tries to be funny. The only problem is that he speaks too fast at timed and that plus the accent makes understanding him a little harder but I mean, you just need to pay attention. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and you will pass the class.

Calc 3 is a difficult class, as are most classes, but professor mark explains concepts well. He does a lot of examples that make the homework easy. His tests were of average difficulty, and he writes the solutions to mistakes, not just the answers. The final has questions from all the previous exams, which is great.

Hard class but as long as you go to lecture and do the homework, you should pass. Exams are homework heavy. His accent isn't too hard to understand. Try to do well on the first two exams to help with the second half of the class because it gets significantly harder. This class definitely requires a lot of effort, but is doable.

He is a funny guy, explains the concepts well. Gives out decent amount of hw and all are due the class before the exam. Test isn't too difficult. Mainly questions from hw/note but with numbers modified. He goes over the exam in class and correct your mistakes on your test paper.

great professor. dont skip activity periods he will take the time to work out the hw with you which is what the tests are based on. the final is made up mainly from the last test which makes for a nice end to the semester esp in a difficult class

His exams are combination of the some even numbers of the book & the problems that he gives in class during the lecture and the activity. 65% is a C, 75% is a B, & 85% is an A. High Recommended for Calc 2. I wished that he taught AP Calc A/B and B/C back at West. I got the pdf for calc 1. If he teaches calc 2, im down to take him again for MATH 123

As long as you go to class and do the homework you should be fine, and ask questions at the start of class!!! He works the problems for you.

I did fine in Calc1, and I'm not that great at math. He'll go over similar questions (or give hints) for the problems on the exams, so I recommend going to lecture and activity (take thorough notes)! I only had to study his notes, and the webassign problems he assigned. He's strict on being quiet in class (no phones), but he's a good professor!

Goes over problems you as about, Gives good lectures on whiteboard instead of power points.

After failing 370A with a different professor, I'll say Igolnikov has one of the best ways of teaching. He is direct, organized, and will work out the problems thoroughly. I started off strong then did poorly on the 3rd and 4th midterms. The final consisted of 3/5 new material and 2/5 previous exam problems. Tests are fair. Don't slack to get an A!

Professor Igolnikov was one of the best math professors/teachers I've had. I feel like I learned more in calc 3 than I did in calc 1 and calc 2 combined. He explains everything well and really helps when you come to office hours. He gives a lot of partial credit, but make sure to do lots of practice problems! I recommend taking him if you can.

Regardless of prof, Calc3 is hard. He assigns tons of homework (30-40) weekly, quiz every other friday. 4 exams + final. Generous with partial credit. Says he picks hw qs for exams but not all the time. Basically, know how to do all the hw problems and you'll get an A for sure (he just modifies numbers). No laptops, no talking, no phones. No curve.

Professor Igolnikov is pretty straight-forward, and it's easy to follow his lectures. You basically just have to show up every Monday to turn in the Show My Work Assignments; other than that, he doesn't take attendance. Cumulative final was super easy because the majority of the problems were the exact questions from the previous exams.

Very helpful! material is hard but he explains well if doubt. 3 exams, questions come from class notes & activity mostly. Final is half questions from pervious test. Easy to pass calc2 with him because a C is a 65% !

If you do the homework you will pass the class. Exams are extremely similar to the homework he doesn't throw any curveball. He also gives generous partial credit. He teaches the material well as well as will help solve homework problems at the beginning of the lecture.

I couldn't hear him in the beginning because the AC was loud, but he is a pretty good professor and his methods are better and quicker than ones I found online. Lots of homework, but it is extremely important to do it as the exams are similar. He is very generous with partial credit, and will do any problem you ask him in the beginning of class.

very good

Generally a good professor as he encourages questions revolving around homework problems to make you understand the material before moving on. Be prepared to study some material on your own as some of his lectures aren't sufficient enough for one to fully get the whole material. Form study groups amongst those in class to really learn the materials

Strict about no phone/talking in lecture but made jokes in class. Tests are very straightforward/easy if you know the material, and he gives a LOT of partial credit. Tons of webassign hw that doesn't help on tests, gpt the answers, and spend the time doing textbook problems. lecture not mandatory but go to see his guidelines for tests, helps a lot!

This professor was great. Attending his lectures and activities is very useful. He asks you to ask questions about the homework so take advantage of it because he will go over it. For the last 2 exams he gives practice exams which are practically the same. Don't be on your phone in class he is very clear on that he hates when people use phones.

Good lecturer, DO NOT let your phone ring or talk over him because he will get mad lol, but its because theres a lot to cover and he wants to make sure everyone hears. Also get ready for a LOT of homework, online and offline, which he goes over to let you ask questions during class which is extreeemely helpful. Also NO unexcused absences allowed !!

For calc 3, he isn't easy (because calc 3 is really hard and a lot to cover in general) but he is clear with what he teaches and he responds really well to questions. He also curves grades 5%, so 85 is A, 75 is B, etc. If you're going to skip classes then don't take him, its extremely hard to learn. Hw is harder than tests, use gpt to explain
