Reviews of professor Oksana Tikhonovsky

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I adore Prof Tikhonovsky so much. I'm cros-reg at KSU for this class & I'm so glad I chose it over Tech or UGA. She cares so much & is very patient with you since she knows this is a hard language. Put in the work to watch the short lectures, show up to class & do the homework & you will be fine. The tutor is also a huge help & a native speaker!

Russian is a difficult language to learn, so if you are taking the class be ready to work. With that being said, OT is a wonderful professor and will push you hard during class so you can become a proficient speaker. I had her for two semesters and learned a lot. Written tests are hard but you can make up for it with other assignments.

If you are looking into learning an easy foreign language; Russian is NOT one of them. Your grade is determined by what you do to be successful in the class. Tests were tough but there were study guides. 1-2 assignments due each week. Lots of in class participation which was practical for a foreign language class. Would def. recommend.

Many people in my class thought Ms. Tikhonovsky was unfair, but I absolutely adored her and she was always willing to help us as long as we put in the work. Russian is not an easy language to learn, so it's important to ASK QUESTIONS!

She is a great professor. Russian is not an easy language to learn, so you will have to put in the work to pass. She is a very fair grader and helps you out a lot. I would definitely recommend her classes. Just be prepared to participate and answer questions in class.

She is extremely helpful and accessible through email outside of class. She cares about all of her students success and will do what she can to help you along the way. She provides resources for students outside of class. She also cares very much about participation. Overall a very good teacher and person.

She is awesome, the lectures are not really mandatory, but participation is important. She walks you through everything you're having trouble with and you learn a lot! Russian is hard but she is very caring and easily accessible. Class was a vibe and I feel pretty good about my rudimentary Russian, I'm taking her again next semester.
