Reviews of professor Asya Sigelman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took two semesters of intro latin with her and while it was very difficult I do think I learned a lot. There are weekly quizzes and in order to stay on top of the material I did a good amount of drills, none of which were officially assigned.

Moves ridiculously fast, assigns way too much homework for a beginner's course. Other beginner languages at this school are not this fast or homework heavy. At the beginning of the year she says the only way to do well is if you study at least 2 hours a day and she isn't exaggerating. Focuses on simple concepts, rushes through hard ones??

Wow oh wow Asya is my main man I love her with all of my being. She is certainly not lenient with grading but is entirely fair. She cares for students and gives extensions if you give her enough heads up. I had her for esem and Greek at the same time and didnt get tired of her at all. She has a dog and hes sometimes in her office.

Professor Sigelman is one of the most knowledgeable professors I've ever had, while her introductory Ancient Greek course was one of the most challenging and worthwhile. She knows the language inside out! Ancient Greek is toughbe prepared for lots of studyingbut Professor Sigelman's passion for it inspired me to press on.

seems not interest in teaching and doesn't care abt her students. cold and robotic. demands high effort from students but dosn't put one in herself.

Beware: inaccessible and often hostile to students!!

She is impossible to reach. I needed to get in touch with her when I was physically unable to attend class and she did not respond to a single email. My Dean couldn't get in touch with her either. I have no clue how I did in the class because all communication was one sided.
