Reviews of professor Olessia Jouravlev

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
My favourite prof I ever had at Carleton! Olessia helped me in class and outside of it, and though you have to work hard for a good grade in her class, I feel I really LEARNED something and became the academic I am today in part because of her. Definitely reccomend!

Probably the most challenging course at Carleton. You have to read 2 papers for each seminar, lead a discussion of 1 paper, run a study, write a LOT of papers based on reading, write a final research paper, and present your research. I could hardly keep up with all this work. The good thing was that the course was well organized.

Finally, a cognitive science prof who uses her knowledge of cognitive science to provide awesome learning experience to students. She teaches in blocks and stops after each block to ask everyone questions on what she has just taught. I loved it. Quizzes are fair. Content is fun!

She's the best. She truly cares about her students and wants to them to learn as much as possible while at the same time enjoy it. The lectures are so interesting and one can apply a lot of that information to every day life. Although she makes you write a lot of papers ( 1 pg reflections), it allows you to improve as a writer and think critically.

Olessia is very kind and wants her students to succeed, but she does make you work for your grade. She is serious and wants to you to learn critical thinking in science, but there is also a fair amount of memorization. All in all, highly recommend!
