Reviews of professor Oleg Stakhanov

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I passed everything in this class other than the essay. He gave no pointers or feedback other than it was "substandard". He changed my grade on the final exam (which I passed) so that I would fail the course regardless of passing everything including the final.

Oleg was a really nice guy who always tried his best to give extra examples to go along with the textbook readings. I thought he was a fair grader, but his teaching style was powerpoint heavy which I found a bit dry. Expect a lengthy research paper (which is odd for first year), 2 midterms, weekly quizzes (super easy), and a final.

This prof is terrible

He's funny and passionate. Lots of his examples are taken from Russian/USSR history. He's a generous grader, gives the test questions ahead of time and has a take-home final. He has lots of little checks along the way to be sure your paper is on the right path.

He is the worst. If I could give a zero I would. Very unprofessional while giving me feedback on a paper, I wish I would have read this site before taking the class. He is very confusing and is all over the place with his lectures also does not give you straight answers when they are needed.
