Reviews of professor Senad Sinanovic

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I know there are a lot of mixed reviews regarding Dr. S, but I did not have the best experience with his class. The quizzes & exams were very difficult and the lectures were quite boring and could be unhelpful. The weighted grade distribution isn't fair (IMO) either. Getting an A is really hard.

He expects you to teach yourself 80% of the course and he should only cover 10-20%. His exams are way harder than what he goes over in class. He never shows you how to apply the new concepts to actual problems. I do not recommend taking this course with him.

Genuinely cares for success of his students, knowing fully the difficulty of the course material. Can move fast in lectures but very accessible outside of class. Usually 1-2 assignments a week between a problem set and worksheet. 3 exams and we got to drop our lowest score. This is a tough course but Senad gives students a great chance.

Hes know his stuff but doesnt know how to teach to students. Expects that we taken economics prior to this course and that we are experts. Exams are confusing and had to be regraded several times. Go to office hours is no help as he criticize you for not knowing a topic. No recitation. Dont do it.

Expects you to learn almost 70% of the main ideas, and practices of the course on your own and how to apply them. Tests are not terrible unless you are literally reading every chapter, watching all the review videos, and completing all the practice tests and quizzes CONSISTENTLY. If you miss a chapter or just don't care enough you're screwed.

This was a difficult class but not impossible. He is tough but fair, and wants to see you succeed. Don't be afraid to ask questions and go to office hours! I asked a lot of dumb questions this semester but he was patient and helped me understand. Also - don't put the project off to the last minute. Took a lot more work than I expected.
