I have to say professor Doroshenko is a tough grader but her feedback is helpful. If you join her office hour and take her advice on either paperwork or exams, you will not get bad grades for the class. Plus, she is responsive, every time when I sent her emails, she responded really quickly.comm2301 2024-07-26 03:44:27 +0000 UTC
Will not tolerate unprofessional behavior, late assignments, or slacking off. If you do not have these problems, the class is fun.comm1113 2023-12-14 22:46:52 +0000 UTC
VERY tough grader who gives minimal partial credit. She is nice enough when you meet with her but will not budge on grading. I took her class online and the lecture videos were by a different person. Some of the test material did not directly reflect online lecture information.comm2301 2024-06-24 16:18:30 +0000 UTC
harsh grader, enjoyed force us answer questions by asking name by name. Even we answered correctly, she still became mad. She likes to laugh at students. went to office hour after first exam, she didn't give any explanation or advice, but just laugh at me. And bypassed me and complained directly to my advisor. this happened on my friends toocomm2301 2023-11-03 16:39:25 +0000 UTC
Very harsh grader, and not accommodating whatsoever.comm2301 2022-12-19 02:48:40 +0000 UTC
Acts like a first year prof who expected college students to act the same as middle schoolers. Talks down to her students and is disrespectful when students want to ask questions while still making fun of them loudly in front of the class for not understanding. Half of the class dropped after the first week, wish I was one of them.comm2301 2022-11-30 15:47:35 +0000 UTC
Difficult tests and no revisions. Can be a harsh grader and often snarky. Not very helpful with questions and inconsiderate scheduling.comm2301 2022-11-20 23:34:12 +0000 UTC
She is not flexible or understanding. Every other Public Speaking Professor had great things said about them however she was the only Professor kids constantly complained about. She is not accommodating, and the class is not interesting. I would strongly recommend aiming to get any other Professor because she is so difficult to get along with.comm2301 2022-11-08 20:51:07 +0000 UTC
