Reviews of professor Teodora Nikolova

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She gave a lot of work but was a fairly easy grader. Very discussion and participation heavy. She does popcorn reading in class a few times. She has interrupted me while I'm talking and then doesn't give full participation points.

Prof. Nikolova is generally a kind person and professor and the class itself isn't terribly difficult. The only difficulty that arises is the workload every week: foreign films, lengthy readings, and endless discussion posts. Also, make sure to show up, or else your grade will suffer.

Interrupts students to give her own monologue after calling on them to answer a question. Was late to many classes. Doesn't grade assignments before assigning more work so you get no feedback before doing more assignments. Constantly claimed she has too many classes who are more "intensive" and that's why she hasn't graded our work.

Do not take this class unless you are desperate. This is the most coursework I've ever gotten for a 100 level course. You are required to watch films weekly, some of which you have to purchase on your own to complete the assignments. Avoid.

DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. She interrupts students, explains what they had just said, assigns a lot of workd, and never grades on time. It is a 100 level gen ed and it gave out more work than my 300 and 200 classes. Super stressful, which sucks because the class is actually interesting.

Do NOT take a class with this teacher. in LAN 128, she does not care about your time as a student. She will outright tell you she is "too" busy to grade your assignments and continue to pile on more assignments. We have written several papers worth a significant amount of our grade, yet have not graded any. Do not take this professor!

She teaches French, but also LAN 128. The films we watch are in French or other languages. Have discussion posts for each film based on subtitles, and she interrupts you when you speak. She assigns long papers with few guidelines and doesn't grade quickly. Submitting the Final essay and first one hasn't even been returned.. class sucks.

I am from Illinois Wesleyan University and took the gateway class about the Cold War (not a French course). Classes were discussion-based and could be a bit boring. Students have to watch the documentary (the documentary itself is fun) and write on the discussion forum (it's easy). For essays, please often go to the writing center.
