Bearing in mind that I am not very good at math, she was a hard teacher. Not too much homework or tests. She was clear but if you got confused she seemed frustrated that you didn't understand. So if you are really good at math and get frustrated by those not so skilled slowing the class down you should take her class. If you need a slow pace, dont.

I thought this would be easy. But unfortunately she isn't. Math 902 should allow calc, and she doesn't let you. Even if you understand the work, it's hard w/o the calc, assuming you can't calculate problems in your head. More than half the students walked out during the final. And they attended and did the hw all the time.

A lack of humor creates a dry atmosphere in class so bringing a pillow is advised. Repetitive class schedules allow the student to come in at the end of class and be able to still learn something. Homework is assigned religiously, all in the preparation of three tests and a final consisting of harder than average textbook problems.

Horrible teacher. Has a very thick accent and speaks quite softly which makes it very hard to understand. Uses different symbols for stats than the book does so you have to remember both styles.

To be fair, Calculus is a hard course but she definitely does not make it any easier. Her lecture videos are all over the place and her quizzes are nothing like her lectures. For someone who has been always good at math, I struggled a lot. Don't take this class, this class definitely gave me so much unnecessary stress.

taking MAT 004A with kravets humbled me so hard. since my calc 1 & calc 2 professors were really lenient, I expected the same going in. needless to say, I was veery wrong. while studying for the midterms & finals, make sure you re-do the homework & practice exams she gives out, it will prepare you. trust me. don't be like me and study last minute!

Her class isn't for lazy students. There're 3 midterms and a final test. You need to do homework and practice tests to prepare for these. Tests are challenging, but she gives a lot of extra credits. She always responds to questions immediately, clearly, and carefully. You'll find that you understand lectures instead of worrying about your scores.

The online class lacked proper lectures and the exams were tough. Should you use any material not taught to you, it is considered cheating. Although she is considerate, the assignments marked as extra credit were not used. Lack of lectures, lack of extra credit, and heavy grading makes her classes tough.

Stats is a tough class in general, but Zoya is so passionate and helpful that she truly wants you to succeed. If you get stuck or have questions, Zoya is there for you and does her best to make sure you understand the material. Both midterm and final are hard, but your notes are allowed. Tip: make sure you know how to calculate probabilities.

Professor Kravets was extremely knowledgeable about the subjects she taught and easy to reach outside of class. Lectures are done on OneNote and can be accessed outside of class. Textbook is online, but not the best. Do the homework (online and unlimited tries) and practice tests (which are similar, if not more difficult compared to actual tests).

Professor Kravets is a great, understanding teacher. I just finished her 8 week accelerated class. It is a tough class due to the material, itself, but she teaches well. Just be prepared to watch the video assignments and take notes. Gives great study guides for midterms and the final exam. Weekly assignments and quizzes. Got an A in the class.

The class has a lot of difficult exercises and tests. Professors do not support students. Students send emails to ask questions, professors are always silent and do not answer. If you get the math right your way, she'll say you didn't follow the book, and give you a low score. And she always finds the smallest mistakes and gives you low marks.

The test is very difficult unlike what is given as an exercise. Don't support students, and don't reply to emails when students have questions. Only email students when students make mistakes in the lesson. Always force students to solve math problems according to the teacher's instructions or they will get low scores.

Professor Kravets makes sure that her grading criteria is clear. The given videos, lecture notes and practice exams are all very big help, because almost all the content are on the exams. Just follow her instructions exactly as they are and you'll receive an A in the class.

I took Professor Kravets short-term class. Lots of reading and the homework was on MyOpenMath.The chapters weren't that difficult, but keep up with the reading and homework. There's two midterms and a final that are proctored. Also has helpful study guides. She doesn't very respond clearly to emails so you'll have to do most of the work yourself.

Professor Kravets uses OneNote for her lectures, so accessing all the content outside of class is easy. Her midterms can be difficult, so it is best to study by solving past problems and doing all the problems on her practice midterms. She gives extra credit. I took this course through dual enrollment and the workload was quite manageable.

i took mat10 as a 4 unit summer course, so mind you, it was hard. but she was super caring and supportive and laid out her expectations fairly and clearly. i asked a question once about the homework and two hours later, she had a video explaining it step-by-step. Always available and super sweet.

she was good in general, if you're ready to put in the effort to learn math you'll be fine. i just reviewed a lot on my own and paid attention in class, her tests could be tricky but if you really prepare for them and make your cheat sheet helpful it's not that hard to get an above 90. she is really approachable, responds fast, recommended

Zoya teaches the materials well. Even when you don't really understand the lectures, doing the homework really helps. Especially her exams are straightforward and very close to the practice tests. She is also available outside of class to help and does not make you feel bad for asking questions. She takes off points if you skip class.

Unbelievably intelligent woman who was a pleasure to learn from. Be warned her exams are harder than her practice exams or homework. Start studying for exams 2 weeks ahead to really grasp the material. She really wants students to succeed in her class and in the future. Not giving a 5 because she uploads lectures onto one note which I can't stand.
