Fall 2025 - Never ever met or even saw Professor Kudyma. Entire class is taught by the TA, so your experience with this class will depend mainly on your TA. The course itself wasn't bad. Russian as a language is stereotypically very difficult but I feel like this class made it approachable and engaging. I had never taken any slavic language classes but I felt good about this course throughout the quarter. I feel more or less comfortable with basic phrases and such and actually enjoyed this class a lot. There is a good amount of homework due before each class and you are required to go to russian tutoring 8x a quarter and attend russian culture events outside of class which are held on campus. I came into this class intimidated by the difficulty of the language but I'm finishing this class with confidence that I can continue to build my fluency in Russian 2.
