Reviews of professor Svetlana Borissova

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
By far the best math professor ive ever taken. Took her for Diff Eq as well and had an amazing experience. Explains material very clearly, exams are almost like the study guide,  so make sure to study those well! Quizzes based on homework so as long as you do the HW you'll get a good quiz grade. Overall, a great experience and professor!

Borissova doesn't keep many surprises from her students about quizzes and topics (except pop quizzes). She wants the best for her students more often than not. HW isn't graded but its good to do it for her quizzes. She provides Study Guides for her exams. She drops the lowest quiz and replaces your first exam with the final if you do better on it.

Lecture is phenomenal explains it very clear. Homework is not worth any points but the trade-off is your quizzes will be almost similar to your homework so it is important (recommended) to do the homework. Mid-terms and Final are difficult she grades fair so don't be intimidated. If you want to learn Calculus then I recommend this Professor.

She is very helpful, if you need help and ask she will take the time to explain it so you can understand. She also is very forgiving in grading, not taking too many points off for smaller mistakes and replacing your lowest midterm with your final if it is better. Also, h/w isn't mandatory but it helps because the quiz questions are from h/w.

Great professor! Allows a notecard, front and back, for tests. One open-note pop quiz per week and one regular quiz per week on what was learned last week, but it's easy if you do the homework since it's based directly on the homework. Grading is kind, not easy, and some credit is given for trying the problems.

She hands out notes in class and does lots of problems with you which is amazing. She's also very lenient and gives a lot of things to be graded on so that if you do bad on any exams, you can make up for it! Assigns a pop-quiz every other week and a quiz every Thursday but they're only 3 questions and open-note. Also, no homework!! Great teacher!
