Reviews of professor Drazen Petrovic

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr Petrovic is a great professor, unlike some of my classmates, I did really well in his class, that is because I asked questions(was only me), and did all the HWs. He is extremely fair, when he saw that students struggle on the midterm, he offered a retake! with extra credit! and an 10% extra credit at the end. Do the HWs you be fine on the exam.

Dr. Petrovic is an outstanding professor. I took calc 2 with him after taking calc 1 over 6 years ago. He will work with your schedule to meet, if you are not available during his office hours. His study sheets were extremely detailed and gave clear guidance for problems. If you do the homework, then you will do well on quizzes/exams.

The professor is kind and lectures were interesting, but the quizzes/midterm were much harder than what we were doing on homework & practice exam. The class average for the midterm was around 30% and we were told it wasn't going to be curved. Others have said practice exams would be similar to actual exams but I did not have that experience at all.

difficult course. behind whole semester. very knowledgeable,willing to answer questions. only graded on 5 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final. not many opportunities to demonstrate mastery of the material. unclear feedback on assignments, if any, graded very late (after taking final i am still waiting on 2/5 quiz scores). assigns optional hw from textbook.

Dr. Petrovic is amazing. He provided a study guide, and problems on the exam were similar to the study guide questions, different numbers or one-two problems on a study guide were combined in one on the actual test. He allows extra credit so that everyone can make up for lost points. His lectures are excellent and the highlight of every MW of mine.

Professor Petrovic is a really nice person. But throughout the semester he lags communication. Lots of HW directly from textbooks and you check answer in the back. Can't get him to respond email regarding hw help at all. Hw is not mandatory. BUT it does go on your exams.

He portraits to be a caring professor, but talks about the American education being different from his country. Multiple times he basically said how we were lazy because we didnt want to do the work, just be given the answers.
