Reviews of professor Ali Sanati

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Sanati is a nice guy who cares about getting his students to understand the material. The only difference between him and some of the other professors that teach Finance is that he wants you to do the financial calculations by hand, so he doesn't actually teach you how to do the calculations with the calculator or through excel.

Sanati is ok not as good as the other finance professors. You gotta really know the formulas and review packet but if you get that you can do well. The review is similar to the tests. He can be condescending and rude if you don't get it

Class is very intensive so participating and doing practice outside of class is necessary but you should do well if you prepare.

The best professor I encountered in Kogod so far. He explained complex knowledge thoroughly and clearly and he did care about whether students understood the entire concept. He prepared codes by himself before each class. He is supportive and has much patience to teach students who have difficulties following up the class.

I took Ali his first semester at AU. He is an amazing professor! FIN 365 is a math heavy class. Professor Sanati gave us examples and tried to connect the math to the real world. I would definitely recommend taking him!
