Reviews of professor Oleksii Volkov

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
First time in my life taking a math course where the professors lecture notes were all I needed. No need for online resources or to teach my self the content on my own. Attend class and pay attention because he will tell you exactly what the exam will be looking for in each topic. DGDs and assignments are good practice. Also really funny in class

True G! Lecture notes are awesome. Much better than the book. Answers every question. Gives practice midterm that is actually close to the real midterm, not some random junk from other courses. This class is difficult but he seems to be genuinely interested in our success.

Excellent professor and a genuinely good person. Did everything to make his course easy to study. His PDF slides are interactive and very intuitive to use. Good lectures but you don't have to attend as he posts everything on brightspace. Solved a lot of extra examples for us and posted them on brightspace. Wish all my professors were like this.

If all my professors were like him my university experience would've been so much better!

Great Prof! He is really good at explaining math and its processes which is hard to come by at uOttawa. He is helpful outside of class and sets his students up to succeed. Study and do the practice and you'll be just fine.

Awesome prof!!! I couldn't believe that lecture notes were all I needed. He also has the best PDF lecture notes I've seen so far. Better than the book. Almost every example has internal links to the corresponding formula or theory. He gives 9 home-works but those are really useful for the exam. Hope I can take more courses with Dr. Volkov!

1 easy midterm. Amazing slides so don't go to class. Do textbook problems if can. Assignments  20%. Final was reasonable. Final and midterm reflect identically the practice ones. Easy course.

Oleksii is a true G. He posts lots of solutions to the textbook problems and makes them super clear and colour coded. Lectures can be a bit dry cause his voice is so soothing but I went cause he made some good jokes. Overall very supportive and wants you to succeed. This is the only class where I got 100% on the final and mostly thanks to him.

Amazing professor. Responds to emails within hours even on weekends. Will help you with solutions and is very patient. Doesn't like when students ask questions about something that can be easily found in syllabus. His answer is hilarious: We're in the end of the course. Maybe it's time to read the syllabus! But honestly, will take Calc 2 with him.

Honestly one of my favourite profs. His midterm and exam are clear and not tricky, if you study his lectures you will pass. He is always available to answer any extra questions and is very accommodating and understanding.
