Reviews of professor Gergina Pencheva

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr Pencheva is difficult to understand and can get bogged down in technical definitions. Two homeworks a week are given along with a worksheet in almost every discussion. TA really helped a lot with this course. She did adjust the test structure in the middle of the semester to help with student's success. I taught myself most of this course.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. I made an RMP account SOLELY to create this review. You will learn NOTHING in lectures and will have to self-teach yourself the ENTIRE CURRICULUM and weekly quizzes are SUPER STRESSFUL. Wait an entire semester to take another professor if you are taking M 427L or a related math course.

Easy class, plenty of extra credit given. Quizzes are usually over the easiest hw problems and tests are the same as quest hw. Some lectures are hard to follow but most of the time the material on the hw is straightforward. Skill issue L + ratio
