RUSS 1010

Good professor, great TA. Makes Russian accessible to students. HW every night, though.

Homework every night but it's not much and Lilia Safianovna is fantastic.

I have a Russian background so came in familiar with the language. However, I did not know how to read or write and I wasn't great with grammar. The class requires homework every night and there are tests after each chapter. However, Lillia to this day is the nicest and most caring professor I have ever had. She truly wants all her students to do well and is open to help you during her office hours or by appointment. I would definitely recommend it to those interested in the language and to take Lillia. Ended the 4-credit class with an A which really helped my GPA :)
