Reviews of professor Dimitri Volchenkov

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
DOES NOT DO EXAMPLE PROBLEMS. Everything is graded on webwork, which is good if you don't want to show work. However, this class was made way harder than it should have been simply because the final exam is 40% of overall grade. This class could have been held completely online, and YouTube taught me more than the professor.

His lectures a really theory heavy and he doesn't work many examples in class. He does offer a lot of extra credit for attendance and training sets. His tests are open notes and very similar to the homework. As long as you can do the homework you will be fine. The lectures can be a little confusing and you will have to learn things on your on.

Dr. Volchenkov is very nice. He doesn't do a lot of examples, lecture consists of him going over powerpoint slides taken from the textbook. Tests and final exam are open book. But everything is on webwork so no partial credit. If you can do the HW you'll make an easy A on tests since tests are very similar to HW. I recommend going to SI sessions.
