She's clearly very passionate about Russian/Soviet history and had a lot of insights that I thought were really cool. The class was low-stress and she is very flexible if you need anything. ",

    "comment": "I was disappointed in the content, the readings aim to form a negative aspect of Russian culture. In addition, this class may pose a challenge for students who are not familiar with the language (names, patronymics, etc). You have 3 papers, 3 exams, and other assignments. Easy class for a Comm-B, but you need to read. Lectures are somewhat useless.",

Perfect study guides for exams---I know exactly what she's looking for. Lectures are super fun! If you did the readings it's super engaging and Dr. Shevelenko always makes me chuckle.",

    "comment": "Her class wasn't hard, it was just pretty mundane. Easy 3 question T/F quizzes every class and then 3 essays, and 3 exams. The expectations for essays wasn't very specific, so it was hard to know what you were worked and what didn't, but she wasn't incredibly picky. LOTS of reading with really quick turnarounds though",

Fair amount of reading but plot summaries for them are online. A few papers and tests too. Class is MWF, quizzes W but it's safe to skip M and F. Fine but forgettable",
