I loved this teacher. She was very good and made a lot of sense. i attened class and made a 100 in the class. She lets you use the notes on the tests and you can retake failed tests. So you get more practice.

Her policies have thought behind them. She'll go back and explain the basics, and make sure you understand how to work formulas, instead of just plugging in numbers. On the final, you can use formula notes. She also has a great sense of humor.

Come to class to get attendance that is incorporated in the final grade. Exams are no surprise and she does review with you before. A lot of classwork, make sure to do it to get your grade up. Overall, very nice and genuinely wants you to understand. May be a bit fast-paced though so keep up.

She is so funny! Great teacher that you can ask any question. She will return emails, and there is no textbook. She takes attendance through top hat with a code that she tells you at the end of class. Do not think you can get someone to send you the code she counts heads and she will notice.

I love Ms. Doroshenko, she is sweet and funny. She has a thick accent but it's not too hard to understand her. I did not like the program we used during class (TopHat). She says not to worry about your grade until the end of the semester because what is reflected in TopHat is inaccurate, so that was irritating. But the actual class itself is easy.

Professor Doroshenko is a killer professor for this class. Easily accessible if you have questions. On the final (It's proctored by ProctorU, so be aware of that), she allows a calculator and a formula cheat sheet. That said, the final, compared to the non-proctored tests, is a cakewalk. Just put in the time and do the work and you'll get an A.

Lecture class. Attendance is "mandatory" but I passed by only going to less than half of the classes. DO THE ONLINE HOMEWORK AND GET GOOD GRADES! That is what will save your grade if all goes wrong. For a foundations of math class, the material was very odd and circled around statistics a lot when my other friends in other classes did easy algebra.

She is such a sweet woman. She really cares about her students and really puts in the effort. You do not have to attend class, but I recommend you try to go to the majority. Make sure you do your online homework and do well on it. If you have a good grasp of math and did well in high school, you will be fine. Also, attend review days for exams!!

She is a good professor.
