Reviews of professor Elmira Ismaylova

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This was the first time I actually felt like I retained the information from a course. The pace was quick but never felt too overwhelming. Everything was explained so clearly and you will ace her exams if you pay attention and take good notes. She is a warm and approachable person - I only wish I could take more classes with her :)

Professor Ismaylova is very kind and approachable. Overall this class was fairly easy however I found the content for lifespan development pretty boring. The grade is based on 3 exams and she doesn't use a textbook or assign outside reading so you just need to have a good understanding of the lecture slides to do well.

Super compassionate and kind. Lectures were clear, exams were straightforward and relied entirely on the material covered in class (no surprises!). All her lectures are recorded on Moodle as well in case you ever need to miss class, but she's honestly a really fun lecturer because you can see how passionate she is so it's worth going to class!

Popular professor and for good reason. Her attitude is positive and fun, making the lectures a joy to listen to. She can be funny on the spot, which is a great quality for a prof. You'll still have to study and understand the theories to ace her tests, which is, you know... pretty fair... considering this is school.
