Reviews of professor Tatiana Saburova

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I would not recommend taking her. Nothing agianst her as a person, she was actually very nice. But her style of teaching was awful. I have never taken a class so hard in my whole 3 years of college. There were so many papers to do and don't even get me starting on the sources. Don't take this class because its is sooo time consuming. Don't take.

She is very passionate about her lectures and her course. While she does take a long time to return essays and other grades she will always work with you when you are confused and will never say no to an extension. Really caring woman if you put in effort.

Dr. Saburova was an amazing professor! She was so sweet and so engaged with her students. Her class was interesting, and she was always willing to grant extensions! All you have to do is talk to her and you'll love her too!

Kind of surprised her rating is low. There were a few classes that felt a bit disjointed, but overall the class was interesting, not too hard, and even fun at times. Her zoom classes were more engaging than any other zoom classes Ive had to take, and the group project was engaging. She clearly cares about not suffocating students with work.

Professor Saburova seems genuinely caring towards her students and knowledgable about history. However, much of the course in the first month has been her lecturing and asking questions to the class over assigned readings, with no powerpoints. If you're able to learn fairly well from often dense writings by historians, you will be okay.
