Reviews of professor Stephanie Gdovin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I never met her nor communicated in any way with her for she never came to our class. She stopped by once for probably five minutes and didn't say a word to any of the students. Her TA taught the whole class, and poor girl was a grad student. She wasn't very good at teaching the course. The workload was unbearable, and often didn't relate to ES.

Any online class during COVID is difficult, but this one seems almost unreasonable. She doesn't give very much time to review content before exams, and when she does it is total information overload. The class is 80% exams, and she doesn't grade on a curve. There isn't very much flexibility either, so if you have a job this isn't your best option

I really liked Gdovin's class. Her lectures were interesting, and she was pretty funny. She's super knowledgeable. I personally never had any bad experiences with her, but I've heard that she can be tough to work with, especially for those who cannot devote all of their time to this class. There's 3 points of EC to your final average, which is nice

Amazing professor, I will say that her learning objectives may be tedious but ultimately are what will help you in retain the knowledge you learn in her class. Lectures are amazing and are more in detail then what she posts on blackboard. Just pay attention and study and you should do good in her class.

She only tests on what is in lecture. She doesn't upload what she says in class, while attendance is not mandatory if you even miss one day you're screwed for the rest of the semester. It is hard to take notes and organize them when she talks because her powerpoints dont make much sense.
