Vova (his nickname) is a very kind professor. As long as you always start the assignments early and avoid procrastinating you should do great in his class. He is always happy to see students during his office hours and he and the TAs will help you a lot throughout this course if you ask for it.

Vova is great. He really cares about every student and doesn't mind walking you through fuzzy concepts. He makes class very enjoyable and will stop at nothing to teach you the material. Definitely one of my favorite instructors at NAU!

Professor Saruta, often known as 'Vova,' shines as a computer science instructor, going above and beyond in lectures to clarify class topics. While lectures can be tiresome, they are always informative. Few assignments are difficult, and tests range in difficulty. I recommend using the reviews he posts ahead of time for exams.

he just doesn't teach very well doesn't know the topic himself. his grading policy's are stupid. you  could have perfectly programed something that gives the right output but still get a 50%.

Vova was such a great professor and he will do everything in his power to get you connected with outside resources for careers. I cannot believe people don't show up to his classes, and ones that do say it is a waste of time. If you apply yourself in his class and talk with him, you will find that he is such a great professor!

I learned absolutely nothing, you gotta learn everything on your own. Vova is very sweet and understanding but as a professor I really didn't like him :( He tends to go on rambles and does a bunch of code on the screen for you to follow with little to no explanation. No one goes to his lectures. Again, a very kind person just not a great professor.
