Reviews of professor Volodymyr Saruta

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Saruta is a great person and an okay computer science professor. He is understanding of different skill levels and never made me feel stupid when I struggled. The content is difficult if you don't have coding experience and he tends to go on tangents during lectures, but the class is manageable if you utilize office hours and SI.

Had a very lucky opportunity to take 249 w/ someone other than leverington and it was much smoother. Outside of making DSA a much more enjoyable class prof Saruta does an amazing job communicating and admitting his own mistakes. Highly recommend any course taught by him.

Vova was a joy to have for a professor, I had him for 136 and he definitely shows care for his students and makes efforts to help whenever he is available. His grading can be confusing, but sticking to the GUR and following the rubric for projects is the key to success. I truly enjoyed having Vova as a teacher and highly recommend him.
