I hate Sergei, I'll be honest. BUT, I also grew to respect him as a teacher. There were times that we were both incredibly frusterated by eachother, but in the end, I think I actually managed to learn something. Yes it's a lot of work, and yes sometimes we have long awkward silences in class, but in the end I think it somehow worked out. It's one of those classes that the entire year you swear you aren't learning anything and it's all a waste until you get to the end and realize that you actually did learn...

Workload:

lots. hours of homework a night (for me at least). but also occasionally gave us a weekend or a break off, which was nice.
