Reviews of professor Svetlana Borissova

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not an easy class, but Dr. Borissova makes it doable. I'm not good at math but I got an 86 in the class. She gives you other opportunities for points (notes, easy pop quizzes, group activities), but exams matter a lot. She replaces lowest w final if better. Weekly quizzes, questions are exact from homework. Highly recommend the tutoring in LRC.

Differential Equations with Professor Borissova was an amazing and memorable experience. As long as you put time outside class to practice you will pass! She's always there to help out and is super approachable. Study guides are super similar to exams, if not sometimes even more difficult, so use them to your advantage. Best class on campus.

Super helpful and has lenient pop quizzes coming straight problem for problem off the homework. The class takes some work but she is very forgiving on exams for credit (do more than 3 problems if you can for more credit) and is very easy to approach. The tests are mostly the same as the study guides, I really recommend her!

Had a tendency to give harder test questions than her study material. Focused far too much on group work and not enough direct feedback. Homework was ungraded meaning you got no feedback on the material before taking quizzes and tests.
