Reviews of professor Merim Baitimbetova

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
-she speaks VERY fast and you probably won't be able to pick up most of what she says -you could get an A in everything and if you do slightly poorly on the final, your grade will come crashing down -not the best at answering questions -group project is super vague

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She does talk quickly, however, she's very thorough and organized. She knows the material very well. Grade consists of 2 tests, 1 group project, online homework, and attendance/participation, so it's very fair. She makes herself available for students, and you can tell she likes engaging with them!

Your grade is based on what you receive on her three tests. First and final test are easy, second one is harder. She gives you practice problems. DO THOSE! Sometimes the test is similar to the practice questions, sometimes not. There are a couple fun activities in her class though. Overall, pretty normal professor. Also go to her office hours!

So much more fun than Paul Jones. Literally had so much fun in Econometrics, you wouldn't believe it. Now we probably didn't learn as much, but still got thru most of the regressions and learned to use the R coding. Highly recommend Baitimbetova whenever she is an option, especially for Econometrics.

Not the easiest course material, but she got the job done. Tests are very similar to the practice problems that she gives out every week. You really have the ability to control your own fate in her class. Two tests make up like 30 and 35 percent of the total grade each, so you just need to do well on those two.

She teaches at a fast pace but goes over a lot of practice problems in class which is helpful. Her tests are pretty hard, but there are some easy group assignments and projects that can help improve your grade. You should go to class if you want to understand what's going on. Her lecture slides are not super helpful without going to class.
