She is so sweet. The class feels light, but also interesting. There is quite a bit reading to do, but it is worth it and the tests were straight forward.

She is very nice and isn't a difficult grader. There is a lot of readings, but they aren't boring at all and make the lectures more interesting if you do them. Class is fun when everyone is participating.

SLAVIC425 - Ukrainian Culture and Society - Oksana genuinely cares about her students and is very passionate about her lectures. She is very nice and accommodating and is aware that most students take this class to fulfill a requirement so the workload is minimal. The group project at the end of the semester is pretty fun. 100% recommend for SocSc

Very easy to understand and personable professor who is kind to students and 100% willing to help you succeed. The assignments are all easy to understand and fairly graded, with mistakes receiving clear feedback on how to improve. (I am not sure why the only course code available is "72634," I am in SLAVIC105, which is First Semester Ukrainian.)
