Reviews of professor Andrei Korobkov

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Challenging but I highly recommend him. He has a Russian accent but easy to understand. Long lectures and it is very important that you take good notes. 3 tests and a final paper. For the tests, he gives you around 30 vocab words and 6 essay questions and hell put random ones on the exam. Youll get to pick two essay questions and 10 vocab words

Great professor. Knows his stuff VERY well. Politically unbiased on all subjects. 3 tests with definitions and an essay section (2-4 pages) for each test. One research paper (5-7) pages. You MUST take good notes on class material. Only 4 graded items for the semester. Prepare well for the tests and you will do good. Easy class in my opinion.

Korobkov always has very interesting classes. He fostered an environment in which the class became very close/tight knit (it was an honors section). The lectures are very useful on the tests and he always hands out a study guide at least a week before the test. There were also a couple presentations in the semester that were basically free points

Dr. Korobkov has a very thick Russian Accent, but absolutely knows everything when it comes to Russian History. He gives a study guide for the 2 test, papers aren't graded to critically. You will have to read some to make sure you fully understand the concepts.

He is very impressive. There is alot of reading but that means you learn! Sit close to the front to hear because he can roll through 2 hours not stop from b.c. to modern day. He has appearances on BBC and many others. He makes class comfortable with student presentations a lecture plus questions. Globalization
