Solid professor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Nina really knows her stuff. I took her for Managerial Calc and have no regrets. She goes at a reasonable pace, not too slow to the point where class is tedious but not too fast so that you don't understand. She makes sure you understand everything before moving on. You only need an 85 to get an A in the class. Her boss needs to promote her periodt

If you are bad at math or you are just dreading Calc, take Nina. She was a High School teacher before UMB so she KNOWS HOW TO TEACH. She actually helps you and does everything in her power to help you. If you need Calc, you'd be making a mistake if you dont take her. best math prof at UMB hands down

She was very helpful and tried her best to get the whole class to pass. It was a hard class but she made sure to help during office hours as well

As someone who is not good at math, she was a very good teacher. I felt like I learned a lot from her and she covered material thoroughly. There was homework for each chapter but she gave us a lot of time to finish it.

Actually takes time to break down problems step-by-step and is always friendly to approach. Helps students understand before moving on and asks if people get it. Don't waste your time taking calc with another professor, she is the best math professor I've had and I wish I knew earlier so I didn't have to retake course after a bad professor before.

Such an awesome professor. I was really anxious about taking this class because I am really bad at math but with professor Yamkovoy's clear teaching style I passed. There are discussion posts every other week, and homework every week. This class was very enjoyable and I am so grateful that I got such an amazing professor!

Honestly best professor for math at UMB. Scales all tests!

Fantastic professor. Kind and approachable. Very good at helping you understand the concepts and gives lots of examples. It is a relatively easy class. There is a decent amount of work but its not super hard. She has 2 tests total excluding the final and allows revisions on both to help your grade. Not crazy strict on attendance but it helps to go

Teaches very fast and moves through material very quickly. Assigns around 4 online homeworks per chapter, consisting of 10-15 questions. Majority of your grade in this class is based on quizzes and tests.

Bought the e book for no reason because not once did we use it. Around 3 homework assignments are due every week on the same day and there was a quiz almost every week with a test every 2 weeks. Teaches too fast with very little review before the final.
