Reviews of professor Tihomir Kostadinov

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. T is a super nice guy. However, his lectures were really hard to understand at times because of the language barrier, which I know is something we can't control. Along with that, he assigns a huge group project that is somewhat confusing and 3 big group homework assignments. My group failed about every single one of them...

Heavy accent but can understand. Pretty easy class and gives tons of extra credit. All the homework you work with a group. We did a take home midterm that wasnt too bad. Easy A and low maintenance class I think. The class is super boring though tbh.

Dr. K is one of the most nicest and understanding professors I've had so far. He really is passionate about what he is teaching and cares very much about his student's opinions. We have group homework which is very convenient, we also have a take home final. His study guide is very descriptive and honestly as long as you make an effort, you'll pass

This prof is hard to understand with a heavy accent. There are only two tests and they are very difficult. I struggled in this class and I wouldn't recommend it.

Things we learned didn't help at all on the homework or tests. The homework is extremely difficult, but he lets you work in groups. It didn't help that much. He doesn't post grades at all until the day they are due so you won't know where your grade stands. Tests are very hard and he doesn't give a study guide. Overall class & lectures are boring

I am pretty sure this was his first year teaching. I tried so hard to understand the material he was teaching us but it was very difficult. I did not know anything we were learning about the entire semester. I feel so bad writing this because he is a very sweet professor and truly tries to teach as best as he can but the material is very difficult.

I believe this was his first year teaching here at CSUSM. Hard to understand. Expects you to know all this information that most people don't know. lectures don't relate to the homework/tests/ projects. If you can don't take him, hardest class I've had thus far. There were about 3 homework, 2 tests which is the midterm and final.

Lectures are super boring and heavy but all tests and quizzes are online. All the homework can be done in groups.

Professor Kostadinov is extremely nice and really cares about his students. His lectures can sometimes be boring but he's extremely passionate about geography. All the hw's are done with a group and he includes extra credit with each hw. The tests aren't hard if you study the study guide he provides. He takes attendance everyday so go to class.
