Reviews of professor Marina Alexandrova

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great professor, fun lectures (if you somewhat care about history), extremely knowledgable, was on Netflix so popularity points, a couple of papers and a bit of writing but that's college, she does want attendance and some interest in the topic is required.

Super easy class and she was super nice. A few papers that were a little time consuming, but other than that was a breeze. You can definitely get an A without doing any readings, but they were definitely beneficial!

Dr. Alexandrova brings a lot of energy and positivity to her class, and you can tell she's really passionate about what she's teaching. There is a lot of reading assigned, but it isn't exactly required to follow along in class or get an A. Definitely enjoyed showing up each day even though it was at 8 AM.

While her UGS course was history based (which I typically struggle with), the material she teaches is very enticing and it is evident that she loves speaking about it. Pay attention, keep up with readings (which aren't difficult or a lot of pages per week), and you should get an easy A+. She's a very interesting and nice professor; take her class!

This class is a great choice for your UGS! Dr. Alexandrova is super nice and understanding which makes the class super enjoyable. There are 2 main essays in the class and one final project, a podcast, which you can choose over any topic you want relating to Russian history/culture. This class is an easy A as long as you do the work required!

Dr. Alexandrova is an astonishing professor. She is extremely caring and understanding. I chose the level of difficulty for this course based on the content, not the professor. If you are willing to put in the work and show interest, Dr. Alexandrova will love you. She gives good lectures and has plenty of resources for you to practice Russian.10/10

Professor Alexandrova was such a nice professor! She was funny and made lectures quite interesting. You have to do a bit of reading, but overall the assignments are very easy and she's very laid back.

Dr. Alexandrova is one of the best professors I have had in my time at UT. She is incredibly nice, makes students feel appreciated, and never lords power over you like many other professors do. She creates a UGS class that, while it does have essays and projects, is actually very enjoyable. There is some reading; however, it's very manageable.

There was definitely a lot of semi-mandatory reading. Really easy UGS class though, only a few major assignments. Dr. Alexandrova is a wonderful professor who prioritizes student's well-being.
