Reviews of professor Elena Katok

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Katok is a great lecturer and I really enjoyed the material in OPRE6371. There are several group projects and about a weekly individual assignment, so you stay busy. Biggest issue for online training is that she requires in-person proctoring for the exams, so if you travel a lot for work this unfortunately is not the class for you.

Exam are in the testing center, incredible hard. 51% of class got less than 7. Do not expect easy course. There is a clear lack of teaching skills. The teacher takes lot of assumptions about the subject, the class skills and even in the question. Do not take.

Excellent subject knowledge but very poor at teaching. Does not really clarify doubts or entertain any concerns
