Reviews of professor Zakhar Berkovich

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Quizzes every week. Very interesting reading, make sure to listen to the videos. Weekly Project assignments. Manage your time and the class will be easy. If you like math it will be a very interesting class if not, the professor will help a lot.

I'm fully remotely, I have prof. Berkovich for Quan 201 and it is definitely difficult. There's a big signature assignment every week and even assignments in addition to those during the week, so if you work full time and are not planning on taking this class by itself don't take it. Also this class involves charts and graphs, but he is nice.

The best professor ever. He let you redo your work you submitted and let you see what you did wrong with your work. The reading relates to the world we live in that we don't see as it relates to us.

Lot's of reading but very interesting. The class requires an effort but an A is easy if you keep up with the work. You can resubmit projects for a better grade. The professor is flexible and extended deadlines on most of the major projects. No textbook required, professor provides reading material. No additional costs. Clear grading criteria.

Had too much difficultly getting a hold of the teacher for a fully online class. Expects you to basically teach yourself so you have to be good at utilizing resources.

Do not take this class in seven weeks if you value your sanity. His instructions are incomprehensible, the work load is absolutely ridiculous, his layout is unorganized and chaotic in brightspace, and he doesn't grade ANYTHING until the semester is over. I'm normally an A student in a BAS program. This was the most difficult class I've ever taken.

Professor Berkovich is the most aloof professor I have ever had. He is not clear on what is expected for assignments, and most of the course's materials are out of date. The course itself isn't difficult, his unclear standards make it so. He never grades anything until way after you have done an assignment, and the feedback is always mind numbing.

Zakhar was a super caring and down to earth professor, I had him at UAlbany for Freshman Year Experience and he was always available to answer any questions I had and always gave feedback on all of my homeworks. I would definitely take classes with him in the future again.

I have professor berkovich in the fall of 2020 so during COVID . His class was an in-person lecture. It can be awkward sometimes especially now because not a lot of students participate but he truly tries his best and makes sure it is known that you can always go to him for advice. He's incredibly empathetic and understanding. I would recommend!
