RUSS0122 with Sasha Portice2 days ago

The course content was quite stale overall, with many bland readings with some interesting ones mixed in. There is a quiz on the reading in class every day and a discussion post due every day as well. Not a difficult class, but not valuable either

RUSS0103 with Matthew Walker24 days ago

I took RUSS103 with Matt and Liana, and they are part of the reason I loved it so much. It is very fast-paced, but they were understanding, kind, and very helpful. This is a difficult language, but if you ask for help, they will do what they can to make it make sense.

RUSS0151 with Sasha Porticelast month

I really like Sasha Portice as a professor, but I didn't really enjoy this class. It was incredibly fast-paced and we were expected to read 500+ pages of reading each night. I wasn't ever able to complete the readings and then would feel lost in group discussion during class. I think a lot of other students felt similarly.
