Reviews of professor Oleg Stakhanov

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Oleg is an awful professor. I took one of his classes last year in the fall and ended having him for one this fall as well but ended up dropping it. He does not offer any help or advice that is actually useful in assignments or tests. He is rude in emails and will be passive aggressive in comments on assignments. He is not made to be a professor

He marks essays so hard even when you follow his rubric. He has Friday quizzes for easy marks but other than that you pretty much have to teach yourself the material through his lecture slides.

Dr. Stakhanov was not a flexible professor in the least, contacting him with emails regarding any confusion or issues was returned with passive aggressive responses and little to know help. no care for his students engagement. Not understanding to outside of class issues, and has horrible when it came to having a deferral for the exam... awful!

This professor is terrible, the guidelines for the papers are lengthy and if you do not answer to his specific needs you get a zero and have to redo it. I Do not recommend him. Gives lots of papers, quizzes and they always end up due on the same day as the midterm.

Doesn't provide any clear guidelines and expects students to know how to write a research paper without any explanation or guidelines. Grades research paper based on format rather than actual material and content which is ridiculous. Don't expect your questions to be answered or for any feedback. Responds with passive aggressive emails. AVOID.

I DO NOT recommend Prof. Stakhanov. He is SO rude and unprofessional when answering emails and tells you that he can't give you any meaningful advice and tells you to prepare to lose half the marks on a 25 page paper. Who does that in a first-year class!

Oleg is an awful prof. He refuses to work with students to fully understand the requirements of a 25 page term paper which he states at the beginning of the semester most students will fail. Difficult to work with. Poor communication. Inconsiderate for others. Also if your an athlete, you will not be able to miss any class!!

Good luck trying to get any clarification on essays or other assignments. When emailed for clarification on this stuff, he has replied to me multiple times with please refer to the syllabus. I have already referred to the syllabus and it is no help, why do you think I am emailing you? Class isnt too hard, just prof is kind of useless.

I really enjoyed his class. His evaluations are fair and he is also a fair marker. I had him for Soc 233, which was heavily writing-based, but if you followed the rubric he would kindly give full marks. He is also a very nice guy who is approachable if you have questions. Basically, if you work hard in his class you will do well.
