Knysh takes short cuts when teaching concepts in class.

Eh... would not take again. She is really annoying with attendance and can sometimes get an attitude with you. Stayed nearly the entire class and asked if I could leave 5 minutes early (emergency) and she said it would count as an absence (takes off points for each absence). Her teaching methods are a bit weird as well.. defiantly do not recommend.

Professor Knysh wants her students to try, more than anything. If you don't put in an effort in her class, she notices. She uses interesting analogies when she teaches math to make it more understandable, and goes over clear examples. She is pretty sarcastic and likes to have fun with the students. BTW, she locks doors if you're late to a test.

Her classes are a lot like high school, took her for intermediate too. Her accent is a little hard to get at first but you get used to it. Her tests are just like the practice tests. Study outside of class often and do the homework and you should be fine. Shes super sweet and responds to emails quickly. She cares a lot about what she does.

Her accent makes it difficult to understand what she's teaching. As I can see, I'm not the only student who did not like her way of teaching. Be prepared for stupid group participation that doesn't even count toward your grade? Strict about attendance and tardiness. I found her tests to be a bit challenging as well.

She really doesn't care if you have any unexpected problems. Probably would have got a higher grade if it wasn't for her ridiculous "if your internet goes off, you can't finish the test" rule. Her accent kinda makes it difficult to learn and she tends to have a short temper when you ask her questions that you don't understand.
