Reviews of professor Tatiana Esipova

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Esipova is one of my favorite professors & the kindest person ever. Her intellect and approach to education is astounding. Homework is very similar to the quizzes and some problems on the exams, and there are bonus points on exams. I highly recommend going to her office hours and participating in discussion, and you will do fantastic! Love her!

Controversial professor considering her lectures are no help... but... I read the textbook assignments, did the homework and redid it multiple times, studied my quizzes and got A+s on the exams (often very similar to homework and quizzes). She gives bonuses on the exams worth like 20 points. Very kind, go to office hours and she will actually help

There was no lecture- just her giving worksheets and would not provide answers. Would check your work but was very condescending. Her exam reviews were great but were not given until 10 pm the night before the exam (with no answer key). If you are willing to put in an absurd amount of work outside of class you will be fine bc her grading is clear.

do not take her unless you are prepared to teach yourself everything! expectations are off the roof, even for a FLIPPED orgo classroom. lectures are just extra discussion sections, does not even provide slides to go off of. will expect the most out of you with little help.

Dr E is fantastic! As someone who had less than spectacular grades in Gen Chem, I walked out of her class with an A. You need to learn the material and practice a lot on your own and if you do this you will succeed. She is super helpful to those who go to office hours. My favorite professor till date!
