Reviews of professor Nora Melnikova

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Coming to her classes has been my highlight of this semester. We were able to build a community, there are quizzes every Tuesday however, if you study from the textbook you should be fine. It is a lot of work but I think that's necessary for a language course. Her slides are really helpful and she's a very positive person.

Nora Melnikova is one of the best professors at UC Berkeley. Her charisma makes learning the Hindi language such a treat. She strives to make sure that her students understand the material and is always available to answer any questions you have about any grammar points. She is the very best!

I'm in intermediate Hindi and every single class all we do is listen to presentations given by students. Professor Melnikova does not directly teach any useful grammar, etc. pertaining to speaking or writing. If you actually want to learn Hindi and don't already speak it like most kids in the class, you have to teach yourself.

One of my favorite professors at Berkeley! Loads of work but she grades pretty easy. Don't procrastinate on the weekly assignments, especially for the first few weeks.

Amazing professor. One of my favorite classes at Berkeley. You have to do the work but she grades pretty easy. Don't procrastinate, especially the first couple of weeks.

Absolutely loved taking Hindi with Professor Melnikova. She is such a gem of a person and takes the time to interact and help every student, even on the online format. There is a lot of homework and assignments due each week, but they are engaging and really help you learn the language. Definitely recommend taking this class with her.

Nora is awesome. Such a genuinely nice person and truly cares about your learning and well-being. There's a lot of material and work in the class, but she's always available to help and gives you every opportunity to succeed. She made learning Hindi such an enjoyable experience.
