Reviews of professor Mariana Lazarova

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Lazarova is really cool at first. I honestly enjoy her classes and she is funny and entertaining. However, she is not very approachable and I don't get the feeling that she actually cares about her students. She isn't all that willing to help... but her class is sort of fun and she has a sense of humor. Just don't ask for help I guess.

Lazarova is funny and kind. No mandatory turn in dates for stuff. Speaks professionally about astronomy & will help with anything. Labs were super easy, do them all quickly to get it over with. Quizzes & homework & quote-cards are super easy, covered in the readings/class. The chapters assigned to tread is the same stuff of the class power points.

Super funny and very sweet. She loves her job and her students. She likes to wear astronomy themed clothes and brought the class candy multiple times. The homework is somewhat difficult but most of the answers are online. Don't forget to attend labs because I couldn't finish all of mine because of cold or cloudy weather. Gets yours done early.

Dr. Lazarova is a great professor. It is extremely clear that she is both passionate and knowledgeable about the content. Lots of lectures and several assignments due per week but I definitely recommend this class as an LAC or if you're just interested in the content!

I absolutely LOVE Lazarova. She's hilarious, very funny, and super passionate about what she does. If you go to the lectures, you really don't need to read the textbook. She's very willing to help students, as is extremely flexible. Her lectures are very clear, just show up, take notes, and it's an easy A.

Dr. Lazarova genuinely is passionate about her subject, and her students. While the course is very lecture heavy and some things can be difficult to understand, she is great at answering questions. The class was an easy A for me, she grades a lot of things on participation, and drops a lot of lower grades.
