Reviews of professor Rostyslav Korolov

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Arguably the worst professor I have ever experienced here at RPI. Not only is he lost within the content he is teaching, but he teaches and preaches the wrong information. I was able to comprehend him through the thick accent, but the illegible handwriting on the projector screen was unacceptable. I will not be taking any future classes with him.

Super chill and nice guy, and is very lenient with deadlines.

Rosty is amazing! This class wasn't hard in comparison to other classes at RPI but it was actually fun. You'll learn SQL, R, etc and the extent to which we learned wasn't a lot but was basic and efficient. Grading is so so lenient and is practically graded off on effort. I had to teach myself out of class but from the slides and it wasn't hard!

I took MAU his first semester EVER as a professor. Somehow ended up with an A because he was lenient of redoing assignments, and tests were take-home or open-computer. Lectures are extremely confusing though, and he's a little hard to understand. A little condescending when you ask for help as well.

One of the easiest professors in the IE department. Even if you do not show up to class, his lectures are easy to follow and he is accessible 24/7. If you can take any class with him - take it!

Lecture intensive class, and while the material can be difficult, Korolov's open-everything policy helps mitigate the tediousness of the material. He tries to test understanding rather than memorization in quizzes and exams. Homework is easy, group projects can be difficult though, there is little to no instructions on how to use statistic software

Slides are helpful, grading criteria is not strict so long as your logic is sound. Fun class overall.
