Reviews of professor Tatiana Saburova

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures were long and boring and I found myself not listening a lot of the time. Professor Saburova though is a very sweet woman who is interested in all of her students and likes to check in with everyone. She is pretty unorganized when it comes to assignments though and it seemed like the students were almost always lost.

Dr. Saburova is a very intelligent, kind, and passionate professor. She is easy to work with and learn from. She is very interested in what she teaches, and she cares about her students just as much. She offers office hours, and she is very prompt in answering emails. She also gives extensions! If I could give her 100 stars, I would.

She is very boring and the lectures are useless, but you still have to be present in class cause she takes attendance. She also demands way too much for a 100 level history course. This class is a complete waste of time for anyone that's taking it (don't gain much from her lecture and textbook). Do yourself a favor and take something else...

If taking over zoom, this is one of the most time consuming classes you will take with the smallest reward. She takes months to grade work and is the harshest grader i have ever encountered

Worst professor and worst class you can take at IU. She does not want her student to succeed and purposely gives out bad grades to students. She is always super behind and always wasting time in lectures. She thinks that this class is the most important class you'd ever take at IU and always trying to make her student fail. DO NOT TAKE HER!

Do not take especially if you're looking for an easy Gen-Ed. Professor talks non stop but none of what she says helps with assignments. Only grades came from writing assignments and were graded very tough even though very little instruction was given.

Her lectures do not help whatsoever on the essays. They are not spread out correctly at all, and you teach yourself most of the material. Unless you need the world history credit, do not step foot in the classroom.

She talks a lot about things that aren't related to class. I wouldn't miss class if I were you, she seems pretty harsh when it comes to attendance even when sick. I wouldn't take this class again, it is not what I thought it would be.

While Prof. Saburova may take a while to return essay grades and give feedback, I enjoyed having her as a professor. She responds to emails promptly and has never denied a request for an extension/extra help. She is not a tough grader, but her rubrics are unconventional- pay attention to her formatting requests (or you'll lose points).
