Spring 2024 - Professor Kudyma is by far one of the best professors I have had at UCLA. She is truly so dedicated to helping her students succeed and always comes up with interesting material for us to study. Not only does she try to always keep us engaged, but she also always corrects our speaking skills to make everyone fluent speakers. I am currently pursuing a Russian language minor here, and I look forward to taking more classes with her. You will learn so much in her class and enjoy your time as well! Also, it's always a pleasure to attend the quarterly events she puts on for the department! She honestly doesn't have any weaknesses I can think of! Take her if you can!

Fall 2024 - Dr. Kudyma is an excellent teacher who is clearly very passionate about teaching students Russian language and culture. My impression of this class is that it is very easy for native speakers and moderately difficult for those not quite yet fluent in Russian, but Dr. Kudyma makes an effort to grade each student on the basis of their individual skill level. The assignments and exams strike a good balance between teaching new information about art history to speakers who are already native, and teaching both information and Russian speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills to speakers who are not native. All in all, Dr. Kudyma is the best language teacher I have ever learned from, and her dedication and compassion is partly why I continue with the eternal struggle that is learning Russian.
