Reviews of professor Marina Alexandrova

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Fairly easy ugs class but there are much easier ones out there. There are a bunch of readings assigned but you can get away without reading them. There is a good amount of writing assignments and the TAs grade kinda hard. However, the professor is understanding and very passionate about the subject.

Dr. Alexandrova is one of my favorite professors I've ever had! She's very sweet and knowledgeable about history and is open to any other topics during lecture! Your grade really depends on the midterm, final, & 2 research papers, but they're really manageable. For the exams thorough reviews were provided, and for the papers rubrics were provided.

Dr. Alexandrova is one of the sweetest and caring professors I've had! I HIGHLY recommend taking her! Her course is a great overview of Russian history and culture and she is very passionate about the subject. We even got to do live virtual tours around Russia! There's a decent amount of reading, but it's very doable and the overall course is easy.

She is very passionate about the subject and gives fun lectures. She doesn't require many exact dates or names of people, just the handful of really important ones. The tests are almost all conceptual understanding of what happened and its importance. I remember what was taught from this class better than any other history class I've taken.

Pretty easy class. There were a lot of readings but I didn't do most and was still fine. There aren't too many assignments but they are mostly easy and the TAs don't grade too hard. Technically attendance was mandatory but I didn't go to a lot and was still okay. The lectures are a bit boring but the professor is really nice and funny.

Professor Alexandrova is extremely passionate about the Russian topics she teaches. The class was enjoyable and she adds jokes to lighten up the mood. There is a LOT of reading for this class but the grading in this class is extremely easy. If you are looking for a good UGS course to get an easy A, this is it.

She was so great! Really interesting subject matter and taught very well. She gives you lots of opportunity to write and research about whatever you find most interesting. The homework is very light and the exams (midterm and final) are straightforward and easy if you listen to her lectures. She was super available to reach if you need anything!
