Reviews of professor Anna Malkova

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Terrible.Heavy accent makes it hard to understand already difficult topics.Goes through extremely difficult concepts very fast and expects you to recall specifics on massive tests.Never finishes her lectures, and skips over important information for the sake of time.Condescending in office hours. As a straight-A student I was terrified of failing.

Anna seems like a lovely person and very interested in her research. She is too smart for her own good and is like every other professor. She assumes we are just as smart as her. Her accent is so heavy it is hard to understand and she speaks so quickly. READ THE BOOK.

Heavy accent, rambles on tangents frequently. Consistently behind schedule in lectures, skips over slides because, "we need to catch up." Gets talking very quickly and stutters over words, difficult to understand, bad combo for complex lecture material. Highly prefer John Manak for this course. She never answers emails, wont show grade distribution

Anna is the worst professor I have ever had. Slides don't cover everything, she makes so many assumptions about what you know, skipping intermediate steps in lecture and just throws you into the fire for the homework. Lecture is choppy and she cannot finish her thoughts, often trailing off, skipping things, or going over things that don't matter.

I can barely understand Dr. Malkova, she doesn't really understand how zoom works (class was taken online), and often skips slides for no reason. The slides she does go through, she goes through fast and doesn't adequately explain how to do anything. Aside from that, she's utterly unexceptional and that's a bad thing.

Professor Malkova is really nice, but her teaching is convoluted and confusing. The tests are hard because it is mostly free response, but discussions are very helpful, and they summarize what you need to know.
