Reviews of professor Zlatana Nenova

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Zlati wasnt a bad teacher but she wasnt the best. She went into way too much background detail instead of focusing on what we actually needed to know. Projects were time consuming but easy to do well on. Tests are can be really easy because of open notes but sometimes cover topics we didnt cover in class. Also tests are graded really hard.

Nenova is not a great lecturer. Terribly boring and does not help students. She was not helpful during office hours and would contradict herself. It made for an overly stressful experience. I hope she gets better at teaching cause shes obviously knowledgeable in the topic, but lacks even the most basic communication skills for effective teaching.

Zlati is a great professor. She does a lot of demonstrations in her class, which I found very helpful. Her lectures move fast, but she's very willing to help if you don't get something.

Zlati's nice, but tbh we don't learn much. We mostly follow along while she presses buttons. The first 5 weeks were fine, but as we use more concepts, it gets rockier bc we don't actually know what we're doing, nor why we're doing it. The class is 80% just navigating how to use JMP. On the plus side, the way she says "okay" is calming. 3.5 stars.

Nenova is a great professor for her subject. She is a good lecturer and grades projects generously.
