Comments:1300 - I would highly recommend taking Professor Kirillova's class. She had 10% of her class weighed by participation, but gave students who did not want to talk out loud the option to write down their answers to her questions so they would still get participation credit. She had 13% weighed by homework assignments. There were 11 of them, and to complete them you had to read 1-3 short readings. They were all very easy and the lowest grade I ever got was a 90. She weighed 12% by her lecture quizzes, of which there were 5, all open note. If you write down all of the information on her slides, you shouldn’t get lower than a 90 on them. She had 2 exams, the midterm (20%) and the final (25%). She gave a study guide for both, and if you complete the study guides and study them, you should be able to do very well on the exams. She also gave two essays for the class, each was 10% of the grade. They were both pretty easy and she didn’t grade very harshly. She offered extra credit that could add in total 1% to the final grade, which were two very easy writing assignments. Overall, she is a very sweet lady, and I can say that I actually came out of her class with knowledge I did not have beforehand. This was HIS 1300 btw.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:HIS 2395 - Dr. Kirillova is one of the kindest and best professors you will find at Baylor. She is helpful and always willing to help. Her class was manageable for research writing and we spent time breaking the paper into sections. Definitely recommend her class!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1300 - TAKE. HER. She is amazing - class is such an easy A as well. Never got lower than a 96 on any of my assignments. She does give a decent amount of reading for homework once in a while, but she releases all the assignments at the beginning of the semester so you have a lot of time. Quizzes are two-three questions all short answer, but she is very generous when grading. She only has two exams and two research papers, and both the research papers are extremely easy. Her lectures were also very straightforward. Loved having her and learned a lot in her class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:HIS 1300 - One of the best professors I have had at Baylor. Take her for HIS1300. She's very passionate about history and loves teaching it. I once missed a class and later went to her office hours, she sat me down and explained the whole lecture in 30 mins. Loved her class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1300 - take her!! I took her in the fall and she is very passionate about what she teaches and really knows how to explain things very clearly. there were a few in class quizzes where doing the reading is necessary, as it asks you specific things about the chapter. she only did one pop quiz, so be prepared. I think there were 2 papers in total we had to do, and if you email them to her and ask her to review before the due date, she will give great feedback about what to add. she also gives a guide for the exams, which are really great since it tells you what she will put on the exam, including short/long essay prompts and terms that she will choose from. there was a few in-class group work which is pretty easy. I recommend to take a lot of notes since the PowerPoint's only scratch the surface of what she says, and also record them. I went to her office hours for the final exam and she helped me a lot about what to add (basically gave me the answers). on her exam review days (which are very helpful) she doesnt take attendance, but she gave extra credit once to all of us for showing up. she is great overall so I really recommend if you need this class  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1300 - I loved her. Genuinely the sweetest professor ever. She is always available to help with essays and the quizzes and tests are super easy! I definitely recommend her for Global Perspectives!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:4340 - Totalitarianism in Europe: Professor Kirillova is AMAZING. She is so educated and informed. This class is easily one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. She is from Russia and has a whole lot of insight that I do not feel like any other professor would be able to give on certain topics. I learned so much from her. We had some readings which were very light and then a Podcast assignment which I learned SO much from and was SO much fun! We also have a book review and a final. The class was honestly light work and so so interesting. It focuses on Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and Facist Italy. This is a very cool class and I hope she teaches it as well as others so that people can experience her class. She is so amazing and so knowledgeable. She is so kind and willling to help you with anything you need. She is a young mom and has so much energy and is clearly so invested in her students. Professor Kirillova would give feedback on literally everything even little homework assignments. She grades everything pretty much right away. If you try and show up this is an easy A even as a 4000 level class. Definitely a MUST TAKE!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1300 - Great overall, good lectures, simple quizzes and easy to understand. She leaves a few homework and papers but they are not hard, definitely a good pick for HIS 1300.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1300-25 - Truly one of the best professors I have ever had. She is such a sweet lady and really cares about what she is teaching and her students. It is easy to tell she is passionate about her work. - Presentations are easy to follow and understand. - She is very prepared for every class and does well at explaining each topic. - I appreciate the identification of the IDs of what we will be tested on being acknowledged at the beginning of each powerpoint. I also appreciate Dr. Kirillova's willingness to work with her students and help out in any way she can. Posting the slides online at the beginning of class helped with anxiety about not being able to get notes down. - The test and papers are easy to understand and the perfect amount of difficult. She does well giving us enough time to prepare for the test and papers. Her study guides listed every term we may need to know and it was easy to look back at our notes or the power points to study because of how organized she is (most of the time, all I would need is a refresher on the time period of the term because I was able to remember the term very well because she originally explained it in such a good way). - She encourages discussion in her class and each lecture and discussion are very engaging. I never found myself zoning out or working on other work like I may do in other classes before this. I wish she was teaching more intro level history classes as I would be interested in taking more of her classes as electives. Overall Dr. Kirillova is an AMAZING professor and this class has been one of my all time favorite classes! I wish more professors would teach like she does! Originally we had pop quizzes over the readings but when the students weren't doing well she changed them to announced pop-quizzes so we knew which day and what reading it would be. Since Dr. Kirillova is originally from another country it was super helpful to hear some of her personal experiences and knowledge that relate to this course. Especially since this class is about the U.S. in a Global Perspective. That is an aspect of this course that we would not get if she had been from America. Her experience and knowledge is invaluable and indispensable to the course!   - Grade In Class:A
