Reviews of professor Elena Strzheletska

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I went to her Office Hours a lot and she is very sweet and approachable. I learned a lot. Every quiz and homework is important because I have seen those topics come up in future classes. I like her teaching style, and I really appreciate when she stops to make sure that no one is lost. She *cares*, and she is very knowledgeable.

Prof. Elena truly cares about her students from her heart. Wouldn't sit on her chair during OH's till she makes sure that every student gets the answer/support they need. Fair grader. If you show that you understand or at least really want to, she'll know. Straight forward in lecturing, would never go in circles. Sample quizzes help. Respected.

The worst professor I've taken so far. Her lectures just consist of her telling you to do/learn everything at home. Just go for the extra credit attendance. She gets aggressive at times and legitimately just can't teach. You need to rely on the TAs.

I think her bad CS111 reviews are unfair. It's just a tough class but she explains things well, and if you go to lecture you'll do fine on quizzes. It's pretty much just math which ig isn't for everyone

Her teaching style is extremely confusing and not helpful whatsoever and not to mention, her lectures are extremely boring and nonengaging. She is mainly reading off the slides and then tries to explain differently which becomes more confusing than it already is. Your best friend taking this class will be doing the practice quizzes and your TA.

I don't wanna imagine what her romantic life is like with the amount of cheating accusations she throws at us

I LOVED her class. It is a hard class, no question about it, but she does her best to make sure that she can provide maximum resources to make it smoother. She is very fair, and despite what some things people say, extremely caring. In all, she is an awesome instructor, and I was really grateful to be able to take classes with her.

"Just go to office hours," has been said on here.The thing is, not all of us are without a job or involvement in school, we don't have unlimited time. Treats all material as a prerequisite even if it is not a prerequisite it is all taught the same. Learn to self-study using the quiz study guides, I never went to class but studied for hours on that.

If you have the option to avoid this professor, I would do it. The quizzes are written in a way where you have never seen the problem before, or you might get lucky and have studied it. It doesn't encourage problem solving but rather memorization of problems. Also this professor is the first one I have taken where they grade in a predatory way.

I love Elena, she cares very much for her students. Just do your work, go to office hours when needed, and discussions are vital. Study homework for quizzes.
