This teacher is one of the most easier teacher I've ever had for a Finance class. You will get at least a B+ if you take him.
MOST STUPID PROFESSOR EVER. THINK HE KNOWS FINANCE, BUT HE'S A TEACHER. WILL NOT TELL YOU WHY AND HOW HE GRADE PAPERS. QUIZEES ARE AMBIGOUS. ACTUCALLY THINKS HE IS COOL. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS.
The Previous two people don't know what they are talking about. This is my favorite class not because I like economics, but because Professor Sabet knows what he is talking about and makes the class go by real fast by having a discussion, and not throwing the material in your face. VERY GOOD
He does not help out at all, and is quite rude. But its an easy class, so if you want a good grade take him.
He is a good professor and knows his subject. I took him for an online class and he was understanding and leaniant on grading and allowed ample time to complete assignments (Gave assignment list at the begining of semester and followed it) NICE AND GOOD PROF. TAKE HIM AT ALL COST!!!
He's awesome! He is sarcastic and god help you if you're late to his class, but he's a great teacher. Because of him, I'm getting an A in my worst subject. He's the kind of teacher that teaches because he genuinely wants his students to learn. There's not many teachers like that at FIU.
this guy is an ass, he thinks he knows everything he gives u attitude and makes u feel inferior dresses like a hippie and very close minded dont take him
I HAD BAD PROFESSOR AT FIU, BUT THIS ONE IS THE WORST ONE. IT FEELS AS IF HE DECIDED ONE DAY TO BE A PROFESSOR, WENT TO FIU, AND THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT ACCEPTED HIM WITHOUT DOING A BACKGROUND CHECK. NOT A SURPRISE WHY THE FINANCE DEPT AT FIU IS SO BAD. WOULD NO HURT HAVING SOME ACCEPTABLE PROFESSORS
This guy is a sarcastic prick. He's really rude to his students and acts like a know-it-all.
Very unhelpful in his online class. Doesn't really like his students. Hear he was better in regular class.
This is the worst professor I've ever had. Does not help students at all, he is extremely sarcastic, and only writes ambiguous questions for cases and exams. You never know what he expects of you. Don't take him, he is awful.
I took his class a couple of years ago. He had the tendency to be sarcastic, but he tried to be funny with it. As long as you sit close to the front, pay attention, and ask questions, you will be fine. This was my hardest subject matter yet, and I still pulled through with a "B" He's very nice, and helps if you have questions. :)
he is a very good professor, i'm not sure if he is rude but all i know is that he is pretty easy and if you do what you have to do you will do good in his class. I had him for international banking hybrid and it was the easiest class and i did not have to struggle to get an A.
This professor is very knowledgeable and explains well. He encourages questions and the exams are reasonable. He is also a professional that works for a major county agency so he knows real life aspects of the subject beyond what's in the book. He is a bit sarcastic but it is worth the real life lesson. A yeah by all means.
He makes u feel stupid, he thinks hes cool because he wears jean jacket with a hippie look. Dont ever ask him for a overwrite because he'll tell you to go to register office and deal with them cus he doesnt feel like signing it, what a retard. OH and dont ever try to sound smarter than him cuz he;ll be ontop of you.
Great professor, I took his saturday morning class. It was very relaxing. He works as a vice President for the Miami Dade Water and Sewer dept. I believe. Well, if you want to learn about economics he is a good choice.
He's easy, that's it. He gave a lot of amnesties trying to boost up his image. He didn't teach, didn't explain, didn't help, and didn't care. Well, but what can you expect from FIU???
I took this class online...he's kinda rude so try to avoid contact with him but his class assignments are extremely short and easy, his tests are easy ONLY if you read the material, if you are willing to do all the reading you'll definitely get an A but I suggest taking this class with an easier teacher like Alonso
Took the class online, very easy quizzes and assignments. All you gotta do is take 8 quizzes, write three short 1paragraph essays, and design a homepage. You dont really need to buy the book, the online notes are sufficient. as far as the guy himself hes not helpful at all, doesnt follow his rules on his syllabus. I dont like the guy but easy class
I'm a senior in FIU and I think that he is the best professor I have ever encountered in my college career. He is a very smart man and knows his material very well. A lot of people don't like him because what he tells his students is the truth... That they are idiots! They classes are not easy but very ineteresting. He's an admirable person and pro
This is one of the easiest professor I've taken. I had a fully online class with him. Just do the work when you suppose, the way he wants it and you'll get an A. It's that simple.
I took the class online. Easy assignments! quizzes are not that hard if you take your time to read the material, it can get confusing when solving questions involving graphs... If you have a question he wont be that much of a help
He's very fair about missed quizes (he often had make-up sessions during his office hours). My first impression was that he was rude, but I later realised that was just because online students often expect the professor to just bend all the rules. Study and you'll do fine. I got a B in the class.
Pretty easy quizzes are directly from his notes. All u do is 8 quizzes and 3 short essays and an easy webpage. Its pretty easy, and if you email him he will help you. I recommend it.
Professor is extremely rude. Sabet is only interested in getting out his point of view. He lacks manners and professionalism.
FUN!!
VERY CLEAR ON ASSIGNMENTS
I thought he was very fair--maybe even a little lenient. His instructions were always to the letter. He does poke some fun at those that don't follow the instructions so read the syllabus and keep up with due dates. I took his class online, but he keeps regular office hours so you can go see him if you need help.
Excellent prof!!! He makes class intresting. A lot of people don't like him because he emphasis PUNTUALITY! If you want to pass his class TRY NEVER TO BE LATE, DON'T TALK WITH OTHERS IN CLASS, DON'T INTERRUPT HIS LECTURES. Other than this, you will learn the material and you get the chance to discuss the subject. He is the best professor I have had
online class really easy n well organized. 3 essays 20 lines each, 1 student webpage, and if summer session 4 quizes, regular semester 8 quizes. same for macro n micro. dont need to buy book. could do quizes with his notes. 50 quest./each. helps you if you have a quest and very fair when grading. REALLY RECOMMEND HIM!!
Class is very well organized and he is an easy grader. . There is 3 test, 3 essays and a student webpage. The test are 50 question, open book, and he gives you two hours to complete it online. The essay responses can be no longer than 20 lines, making the assignments pretty simple. I recommend this professor if you are a self-starter.
Super easy class. 4 online quizzes (if summer). 50 questions each, open book open note. Very easy. 3 SHORT essays. One webpage. VERY EASY GRADER. I only paid attention to my class on due dates and passed with an A. Highly recommended.
I took this class online. He might seem rude at times if you don't follow directions, but he is very nice and very helpful. He is very clear in his notes and instructions. The class is very easy. He is a very easy grader. 4 open book/note online quizzes. 3 essays (20 line max.). 1 easy webpage. This is a VERY easy A. Not time consuming. Take him!!
I took this class onloine and I got an A. So just listen and follow directions.
I took both ECO2023 and 2013 with him online...he comes off as a bit rude but if you listen to him, and do the assignments you'll pass his class. Make sure you read what he assigns, and turn in the assignments on time. If you do what he tells you to, you'll pass. I got A's in both his classes...not too bad for just following directions.
Very knowledgeable of the subject.
Does come of a bit rude. Not my favorite teacher but to be fair the class was straightforward and relatively easy.
Very rude. The class is very interesting, but his attitude leaves alot to be desired.
He is one of my favorite professors. He is very funny and makes the class very interesting. He is not rude, he just wants the students to be respectful (arrive on time and not talk during class) what's wrong with that? He actually made me enjoy economics. His exams are straight forward, no tricks. You can easily get an A.
Excellent teacher, funny and very interesting. Easy tests if you study.
excellent teacher.funny and interesting. easy tests if you read the chapters
I learned a lot from this professor. People thinks he is rude coz there are a lot students that just go to class to talk and have fun. He is very strict with that. I would highly recommend not only bcoz easisness of the class but also bcoz you will learned a lot from him
I had him for Microeconomics in Fall 2005. He was a very funny teacher and kept me awake in class. His tests are not that hard but you have to study for them. If you come to class everyday, he does give extra points and curves, especially if you come the class after he gave an exam, then you would get the least a C....no lower than that.
WOW!! THIS PROFESSOR IS AWESOME!! U CAN'T GET ANY BETTER. I APPRECIATED ECONOMICS ALOT MORE WITH HIM, IT'S ACTUALLY ALOT MORE INTERESTING AFTER TAKING HIS CLASS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!! HE CURVED THE TESTS, GAVE EXTRA POINTS IF U WERE THERE, WOULD LEAVE EARLY SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY IF THERE'S A TEST COMING UP, SUPER COOL!!! IF U DON'T PASS HIS CLASS
he sucks as an online professor, I asked him to move an exam for me cause i was leaving out of town and he didnt do it.
I had him for Principles of Macroeconomics and so far he's my favorite professor. Extremely funny, makes the class interesting, and really teaches you alot. I'd recommend him to everyone.
took this class online.. they are (8)50 question quizes... 3 essays.. and a webpage.. very straight foward class quizes are very other week.. barely study and have a high B in the class! take it class online is a breeze
really funny and cool professor. just give him the respect he asks for. not too hard of a class and you can still learn a good amount of information. sometimes what he asks of you can be a little bit unclear but overall hes an awesome professor.
he is a super nice guy, is willing to help u and his class is uper easy as long u study and follow the sillabus, so take it and u won't regret it
avoid this person at all cost. Just a promise-breaker who doesn't keep his words.
I love this guy. He makes me laugh in class. He teaches but at the same time does not bore you. He makes microeconomics easy to understand. All my friends are taking him next semester. Your test consists of the 3 tests average.
I took his class online, it is pretty easy and straightfoward. However, he is very unreasonable. I missed one of his quizzes once, and I told him what happened, and he just was not willing to negotiate anything, even after I told him the truth. Recommend taking him online only.
Very lazy, explains less than 10% of the content (just says 2 or 3 things here and there and leaves many loopholes), but still requires you to sit every day thru the lecture, he takes attendance at the end. Staying in his class is a waste of time while you could be studying by the book. Tells many stories unrelated to class. Waste of time.
Take this class online with this professor. You get two weeks between tests, and there are only 4 very brief & easy writing assignments due for the entire semester. No midterm or final. You only have to read/study two chapters (about 40 pages) for each test. Only a few of the tests were mildly challenging, while the the rest were easy As.
Took him online for 2023 and 2013, Classes are relatively easy and straight to the point. However the guy is a pretty big prick.. not understanding at all. He gives one day for each exam, and even if your mother were on fire he wouldn't reschedule. :)
Good teacher makes a boring subject like Economics actually interesting. He was out for about a month the semester that I took him... In comparison to the other guy he was a better teacher. I slept most of the time with the other guy or didn't even bother going to class just cus the subject was so blah. W/E highly recommend this teacher.
Extremely good professor. Just 3 quizzes of 50 questions. Read all the chapters he assigns you and you will be fine. I recommend you never miss his class, even more if it is after a test; he always gives extra points that day.
Great professor. I had him fully online and I learned a lot. He wants students to pass his class and gives sometimes 2nd chances for those who missed an assignment. A+ professor; I would recommend it to anyone.
He is awesome... i took this course with another professor before and i didn't understand a word. With Sabet he dosen't worry about teaching you formulas all he cares is the you understand the concepts! And he makes it interesting! I totally recommend taking this course.
Cool @$$ professor at FIU. The students education is priority for him. Is willing to bend over backwards to help students. Definite recommend
Really good teacher, and really funny, you'll laugh every class. Makes very good use of real world examples and integrates current events into the course material. Definitely take him for Micro/Macro Economics or anything else he's taking.
easy class, just make sure you're there for the review and you will do fine. Also be there for the days he gives extra credit for the exams or else you won't receive it if you're not present. interesting class
Easy class. I had him for ECO2013 and am taking him again for ECO 2023. Just make sure you read everything he gives you and you'll be fine. Very well structured class.
he is one of the best professor i have ever had, just make sure you attend class and read the chapters. he is very Knowledgeable of his Subject! Highly Recommend him! :)
He's funny but rude sometimes. There are just 3 tests, but read a the chapters and know your vocab.
VERY VERY VERY EASY class to take over the summer, highly recommended.. Not fun persay but easy yes; rude and sarcastic, yes. Not TOO concerned about his students at all & not organized with grades (which really sucks cuz I got a C- as a final grade when I didnt deserve it. We're currently handling that issue...) but over all, an easy A
EASY PASS!!! I'm taking him again in the Fall. Cool teacher, easy syllabus!!
his class was somewhat easy, just follow and study the book. he can be somwat rude and doesnt let you come to class late at all, but he is a good guy. i would recommend him if you are a serious student because you will definately learn a lot, but this is not an easy A class.
He gives valuable advice about life.
Make class pretty intersting considering it is economics. Nice guy as long as you follow his no talking rule. Grades come from just 4 exams. Highly recommended.
Professor Sabet is honestly awsome!! he is very nice and his tough love technique as he calls it really works. it is most beneficial for you to attend class, he reviews SO thouroughly for tests that if you fail that means you did try.. great professor.. my favorite so far.. im taking him again in Spring
This Professor is awesome!! He's not only very knowledgeable but he is a very nice guy. He gives excellent advice. Grade is based on 4 exams, 100 questions. Dont get scared! the test are easy and gives and excellent review. Dont be late to class!! He WONT let you in! Highly Recommend him! :0)
The class is very easy, but the professor I must say is one of my least favorite professors at FIU. His lectures are relevent to nothing, but he makes you come to class or he drops your grade 5% for each absent day absent. Nothing in his lectures appear on any exam. He can be rude. He thinks Christians are rediculous.
This instructor is great! The class itself is very boring. Anyway, the professor lets you take home first exam and the second and third he tells you exactly what’s going to come out. He is funny and has a great personality. He is very smart! The only thing to really remember is that he hates people who are late and do not come to class. I truly re
He is super funny! I loved his class. Technically you don't have to go but sometimes he takes attendance and if you're there he will give you extra points on the next exam.
professor Sabet is a very nice teacher. He is smart and knows the material himself. His first exam is take home and the other exams are simply from the book. My recomendations is just read the book throughly for the other 2 exams and you will be fine. Ohh!He hates late comers to class. Attendandance is not mandatory.
ok firstly, i took this class online. great decision on my part. super easy. open book type thing. got an A. oh, and this guy curves like crazy. extra 10 points, extra 8 points there. he wants to be in good standing with the student. so if you miss a quiz, just shoot and email, and he'll be glad to arrange u to make it up. knows his stuff too.
This professor is the man. I highly recomend him. Only bad thing is that he is a Bills fan and makes fun of the Dolphins every day. Other than that, take home tests, extra points like crazy, very hard not to get an A
Very easy class, but don't come late to class and show up the day after exams to get the curve. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Easy A
goes of topics, test are nothing like his reviews or lectures. prof. gets really mad a about being tardy, he kicks you out if you are 1 min late. and then wastes class time lecturing about being on time, responsibility and life. he always give points for being present the day after the test, so make sure you go to class, you'll need the pts.
No Comments
I love this man. He is the NICEST teacher ever. He really does care for his students. Its not an easy A, unless you study of course. Don't expect to be babied all the time. He's a good teacher, but it doesn't mean he'll just give you the A. You'll learn to appreciate his 'tough love' attitude. Will keep you awake with his random, funny comments.
I took him online and he was pretty much useless. He will only help you if you go to his office hours at the UP campus, which is really hard for some people (THATS WHY I TOOK AN ONLINE CLASS. DUH!!). He may be better than other economics teachers, I dont know, but he really makes things annoying, for no reason at all.
This teacher should not be teaching online courses if he does not understand the full concept. He can not interact with students. The course it self is easy if you read. If you get a good grade is not because of the teacher. In my opinion as an online teacher he is the worst. May be on camous he is good, but......
Highly unreccomended. The class is easy, but he never goes over anything that is on the exams.
Awesome Professor, really knows his****. He is very helpful and explains everything in detail. You have to study for his test to get a good grade but he always gives you a curve the very next class. The only thing I regret is not studying to much for his class and I ended up with a B-. One thing I didn't like about him is that he is a Bills fan.
GREAT PROFESSOR;) TAKE HIM...ONE OF THE EASIEST ECONOMICS PROFESSORS....VERY FAIR.
Good teacher. just don't be late for his class. just read the book and you'll be fine. but attending class is helpful because he explains each topic, sometimes it gets boring.... just don't miss the day before a test/quiz. and you'll be fine, because he gives out a review that covers what is on it. He cares for his students, btw.
Took him for macro, and you have to be some kind of stoopid to get less than A- in this class. Show up to class every day if you can, he takes attendance for bonus points sometimes. Very generous curve on all exams, and the only reason you should fail is because you just don't care, and even then, he makes it hard to fail.
I took the class online. The tests are kind of hard, you have an hour and a half for 50 questions but you should study. You also have 3 essays and a web page. He tends to make things rather complicated making you think about your answer. He gave a curve at the end. He replies to your questions in a heart beat so I would recommend him any time!!
Is very strict about being in class on time and not talking. Knows his stuff but lectures are boring. Sometimes he's nice and funny but can be very mean. Grade consisted of four exams and he gave at least a 10 point curve and dropped one of our tests because everyone failed. Just read the chapters and use the study guide and you'll get an A like me
he's very strict on being late and can seem sarcastic at times(when he's trying to be funny.) But he has a great grading policy! He curves each exam and gave us 8 extra points one class just for attending! He really wants each student to pass.I got a c on every exam and still passsed with a B because of the curve. He also gives reviews for his exam
the guy is quite a character. makes people look like idiots when they're late to class. curves like a MoFo! 8 tests (50 questions/50 points). gave us answers to 18 questions once and gave additional 5 point curve at the end to each test. gave extra credit once for attendance. GOOD PROF. OVERALL
this guy is hilarious. his tests are not too hard and he gives a ridiciously beneficial curve at the end of the class. Don't be late or talk in the middle of class because he gets pissed. i'd recommend him
i absolutely loved this professor. the subject itself is not so interesting but this professor managed to keep me listening through his funny remarks. atendance is not mandatory which is great! he curves his tests big time! the only thing i suggest is dont be late or talk in class because he will point u out
Interesting guy and interesting stories. Some are not very related to economics. He is very strict about being late. Some of the test questions are tricky. Overall it is an easy class if you read the book.
He is "funny," and somewhat entertaining, but the class/subject is boring. You don't REALLY have to attend class, but you should anyways. He tells you exactly what to study for the tests, which makes it easy. I would study the day or morning before the test and still get an A. If you get lower than a B in this class, you fail at life.
Don't remember much about the online class but I did get a B+.
EASY!i took online and as long as you have the book and print out the study guides HE makes for you, you'll pass.every sunday he will open the quiz and you have 3 hours to do it.you write essay(25 lines essay, which in word its 15 lines).this class is a joke.im taking all my economic classes online with him.dont know how he is in person...
One of the best teachers i have ever had. Very Helpful. Read the chapter before the tests and you will get atleast a B+
Very good class to take. Attendance not required but he will randomly take it and if your present there will be a generous curve on the next test. He gives a curve at the end of the semester but the test arent to hard and he does give you everything you need to study beforehand. Definitely a must take class. and yes he is funny...i got an A!
Awesome teacher. He's not going to baby you but he does care about his students, he believes in old fashioned tough-love so that's why he is the way he is. If you don't get an A in his class it's either because your retarded or you don't like to study, and if that's the case you might as well drop out.
GREAT teacher!!
He is an awesome professor. He may seem sarcastic but he truly cares for his students and really wants to help you learn. I took him online and i would recommend him.
Probably one of the most caring professors I've met. very easy course if you read the chapters and study from them. Writing Assignments. Very short and easy as well. Very helpful. Responded to e-mail question very quick and explains everything. Great Professor. Taking again next term for ECO2023. A+++++++++++++
The finest prof that FIU has. I have taken this prof for all of my 3 economics courses. Read, study his notes, review for his exams from his thorough review and you'll do fine. I can't wait to see him within the next semester or so for international banking or financial crime. He's the best of the best.
He is awesome go to class so that you can get the extra credit... In the end of the semester he will add 5 points to all of your exams
AWESOME professor! curves the quizzes and the quizzes are pretty easy..i recommend him!
All I can say is take him!!! I took him online: Fully online class, tons of extra credit and he gives 2nd chances for those who miss assignments and quizzes but you must have valid excuses!!! 8 quizzes + 4 written assignments.
Took ECO2013 online. Very understanding and caring professor willing to go out of his way to help students. 3 short essays, 8 quizzes and a web page. Do the reading, understand the material and you will be fine.
Highly recommend this teacher. Attendance is mandatory for this class. Easy to understand and cares about his students. Will go the extra mile to help his students but will not baby you. Old school ways, but funny and an excellent teacher.
THIS PROFESSOR IS GREAT. i RECOMMEND HIM. HE HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND HE TEACHES WELL. YOU WILL UNDERTSTAND THE CONTENT AND HIS TEST ARE JUST ABOUT THE THINGS HE TEACHES, NO SURPRISES. ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS I HAVE TAKEN. ONLY THING IS THAT YOU MUST BE ON TIME TO CLASS.
Took online version. Essays and project are very simple. Quizzes are worded very poorly. Most questions look as if they have 3 or 4 correct answers! Despite that, if you read you will do well. He is very generous with curves and with his grading. Very nice professor.
I took this prof for microeconomics. This guy is pretty cool and also pretty funny. Dont be late to his class unless you want to be left outside. He is a real fair grader and his tests are straight forward. You do have to read the book but the material is easy to comprehend. I recommend taking this guy i actually learned something.
The class is not difficult, but I don't recommend him at all!Prof is very rude. He doesn't like students to make questions. If you take this class with him, only expect to learn on your own, he is only there to get his pay check and input grades at his solely discretion.
I took the online version of this course and it was really good. It consists of 8 quizes and 4 short essays. Professor Sabet is very fair and tests are straight forward; if you do the reading , it should easy. I aced most of my tests , except for one. I highly recommend this course.
Just don't like him, had several issues with him about dumb things. Not very good at explaining even though our class is online, I felt like it was independent study. No feedback and when asked it was a hassle. There must be a better professor out there somewhere.
Professor Sabet is amazing. I just finish taking ECO2023 online, the class consisted of 8 test and 4 essays given every 3 weeks. He curves which helps you get a better grade in the class. All you have to do is read the chapters and understand what you are reading. He provides a study guide on the syllabus which helps you understand the material.
I took this class online , it was easy , but you have to read in order to get a descent grade. Professor Sabet makes you belief that he curves madly , but he does not ,he only gives you 2 extra points which really do not help that much. Overall , a good class to take! I recommend it !!!
Took it online, was not that hard but tests can be somewhat difficult. Pretty easy class overall, nice teacher, real down to earth!
Took this class online.His Exams are difficult. You find yourself reading and reading and going through the Chapters and Reviews he provides but this class is hard! Anyways, he curves but NOT a big deal. There are essays to complete also. He's allright though.
Took this class online and i considered him the best prof in FIU. If you read the chapters and do the short essay. Im sure youll get an A. Fair grader
Fully online. 8 tests in total. One every other sunday. Each test consists of 2 chps. 4 short "essays" like 7 sentences long. Easy! Just spend 3 hrs to study one chp, the same for the next chp, and you'll pass with an A like me. Really easy and highly recommend. Worth the extra 200 bux!
This class is very easy, just a lot of writing/reading. He is an easy grader and is willing to curve. Exams are straight from the reading, online book (created by him). I took online in 6 weeks and it was a breeze. And be prepared to read a lot (cases are long 15+ pgs of reading). A lot of research done but nothing too technical. He realy cares! A+
I just finished his (6 weeks) summer-online class of Microeconomics and Prof. Sabet is the best. This has been the best online class experience I ever had. Easy class if you do your reading. Also, follow the syllabus and you'll do great. I did and aced the class!!!
His comments and feedback are scarce. The material can be really confusing, while tests (72% of your final grade) are long and time-consuming. Essays are graded in completeness and not in correcteness. Nevertheless, he is very open to suggestions. You need to work hard if you want to pass this class.
He's just great. Awesome sense of humor. The classes were a breeze and I learned A LOT. Knows what to teach and how to teach it. If you study you won't have any problems. Attendance is mandatory and he takes a roll every time. DON"T BE LATE.
Economics can be very confusing but he is very good at explaining. If you show you care, he will do his best to help you excell. He wants you to pass and understand the material. He's funny so class isn't boring, but attendance is STRONGLY recommended. He gives incentives to attend. I recommend him.
I am taking the economics class with him. I did not who is going to be my professor and I was not expecting much. he is actually a good professor, explains material clearly and easy if you take the class on campus. he has a very good sense of humor and he gives you hints on the test. the reviews is really close to the test.
I really like this professor, he truly cares about his students and he is super funny. You will never have HW, only 8 tests (each on 2 chapters, the tests are not accumulative which is great). He curves his tests and the tests are EASY if you really read, I promise! Please never walk in late, he won't let you in. Take this class!
Took the course online. Class consists of 8 quizzes and 4 essays. Fairly easy if you read the book. He does give a curve towards the end, which really helps. Overall, highly recommended.
He is very knowledgeable and nice professor. He is very willing to give you makeup exams if you ask in advance. He works mostly from slides, lectures could be better, but I still learned and benefited from coming to class. Attendance is optional, but he gives extra credit (6-8 points!) once before each exam (3). His exam reviews are SO helpful!
Amesome professor. Very knowlegable of the subjuct. Attendance not mandatory but he will do a sign in sheet for extra credit.Curves most test and also did one take home test. DO NOT walk in late, he hates it. But overall a great professor that cares about his students.
There are 5 exams and attendance is not mandatory. Lets you bring in a note card to use on your exams. I would recommend taking this class with him.
This guy is really good with his class. he doesnt like it when u get late to class. he will make u laugh and he cares a lot about his students and wants you to get a good education. go to his office hours if u need help and I definetly recommend him
Do not register for this class! He does nothing, but assign everything through his syllabus and assign grades. Does not explain his case assignments becuase "it would be considered cheating" and then slams you with a bad grade. After being told that he made a mistake, he replied that his classes fill quickly. Good reviews for him equals no concern.
DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY!!! He uses a Harvard case study key for teaching because he usually teaches economics, not finance. He grades cases from that key, so if you're writing isn't exactly like the key you can expect a loss of massive percentage points from your overall grade. Mispells like crazy and flirts with girls via his discussion posts. YUCK!
No reviews for exams. Little extra credit. Does NOT answer emails or questions about missed classes. Old, bitter and always in a bad mood.
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR!!! Don't listen to other reviews. Not an easy "A". Makes online sections work more (essays, cases, discussions, an d exams) and grades them harshly. Doesn't like to be contradicted on his mistakes and his curve is POINTLESS!!!!! If you want someone who knows the material and teaches, this is NOT your guy.
I've taken him twice. 2 A+. If you actually do the work and dedicate "SOME" time it's an easy A+. He's very nice and other people are just hating because they probably don't know how to write a paragraph properly. He's great and he curves.
Taken online, class consisted of 8 quizes and 4 mini essays. Funny/sarcastic comments. Easy A for me, with the curve at the end. Will def take for ECO3202!
This is the first class I have failed in 3 years of College. If you miss a test, he will not give you any option, even if it says the contrary on the syllabus!
This class is Financial Management. REALLY EASY PROFESSOR! 2 tests are open book, 1 test take home, and 2 in class. ALL work comes from the book! He reads off powerpoints in class, but just read the notes and you will be fine! He even curves for tests that the students do bad in! REALLY GREAT PROF! Easy A!
This is the 2nd class I am taking with him. The in-person corp. finance was perfect;online FIN4634 is a complete DISASTER. Prof. is rude and not helpful. None of my questions were answered without giving me attitude. He didn't allow to look at the exam to check what questions were answered wrong.DO NOT take an online class with this professor!
Took this class online. Teacher has big attitude problem. His quizzes and tests are pretty easy, the other assignments take more time though. NO NEED TO BUY THE BOOK!!
Professor Sabet, very easy class. He has a little trouble with "the system" Very easy guy. Easy passing grade.
Online summer A This guy is a little crazy with his Zanax comments. He grades harshly on your cases. Does not help at all when you try to get help on the assignments. Pretty much do them and see what happens. No extra credit and his test for this class were not easy because he gives you his own material to study, yet the test has other stuff in it.
I don't know why people say that this professor is bad. If you think because he doesn't give extra credit or curves exams doesn't makes him a good professor. What are you doing at the University? you have to study and pass. I have taken this professor twice and I got A+ doing all the work that he assigned from which I learned a lot. Best Professor!
Prof is hilarious! He hates when you ask the same question over and over again when he has already explained it clearly in the syllabus. Just read your syllabus, do the assignments on time and study for his tests. If you ask a dumb question he is whitty with his responds and people get offended. Easy A in both MACRO & MICRO ECONOMICS
prof is a great guy. really helpful and really funny if you ask him a dumb question. he explains everything in syllabus. if you read the book and syllabus for instructions you will be fine. great class. easy A
He's a good teacher, he was very funny and gave extra credit for attendance at random so show up to class! He tries to be understanding of students circumstances so go to his office hours and speak to him. He curves most of the 8 quizzes as well. Got a B in the course.
I hate this teacher, i took an online course with him during summer and did not like it, he does not care about the students. he also has a lot of attitude with the students when answering questions.
I have taken FIN4744 & FIN4634 with him, and all I can say he is the BEST! Very understanding and all!!! He is clear of what he wants. I am taking him again!!!!
I took this class online for summer B. The workload was just right, not too much but just enough. 4 essays of 500 word minimum, topics are interesting. 4 exams which are not easy but reasonable. If you study and try hard you can do ok. I highly recommend taking this course with professor sabet.
Took this class over the summer. Had to write 4 essays (500 words) on easy topics. Exams were reasonable. If you read the text and the chapter outlines he provides there is no reason to fail. I studied the day of the exam and got a B on all my exams. Ended up with a B+. I recommend Sabet.
Took his class online in Fall 2010. 3 cases that are from the book, he grades them from the key that he has ( very hard to get a 100), 2 essays ( easy) and 5 exams ( 100 questions each). Overall he is a good professor, definitely not an easy class, be prepared to read, write and study a lot. Exams are only available to take on Sundays.
Took this class online...WHAT A JOKE. Take principles of macro online. You will not regret it!
Good online class. Content is just right. The only downfall is you cannot ask him any questions. However, he does stick to his syllabus 110% but don't expect any help from him.
One of the best professors to take FIN3403 with. Class meetings are optional since all exams online. His grading scale is different to other FIN prof so if you read the texts and study concepts you will do great! Take him!!
he is a great teacher, willing to help during his office hours. Curves tests and drops the lowest grade, if you study the study guides he gives you will be alright. Got an A in this class
He is a really good professor. He is really nice and is always trying to make us interested in his lectures. His tests are not that hard if you study. Should be pretty easy to get a B or higher. :)
I have mixed feelings here. He's an okay lecturer, a nice guy but a smartass pain in the neck too. A dictator in class, so if ECO interests you and you would like to engage him and the class in dialogue forget it. Tests were pretty easy but half the class was in the pits (bad instruction?) So you have to study. He curves though, so don't panic.
the class is boring but he tries to be funny at times. the exams are not hard but you do have to study for them. he curves a lot and he's grading scale is bit weird too. getting a 85 is an A in his class so even if you get a 60 its a C. he's really strict but chilling
Great Prof but you have to have thick skin with his sense of humor. he is funny and he shows concern for students. Emphasis on honesty and intergrity. 3 exams only. Difficult if you dont read chapters or listen in class. Go to class for extra credit and its required. I got an A without the curve that he gives. will take him again
Useless professor! When I asked him questions in the email he answered back with questions. He deducted points when I submitted a case online only because I sent it as an attachment and not in the submission box. The guy is rude and not helpful. Never again
I thought he was easy but not! There are much better professors. He writes the book so it's difficult to find answers, his footnotes come from wikipedia. As much as I study I couldnt get an A.
He is not easy and not difficult. He seems harsh but cares about his students. He curves a lot. Just follow his rules and you'll be fine. He wrote the book for this class, easy to read but the questions on the exams were not clear and did not always correspond to the book. So you really need to study and be careful when answering exams questions.
i took micro and macro online with him and i think he is an awesome professor, granted you need to study ALOT and learn the material on your own but he gives a huge curve. had a test every other week 50 question multiple choice and 4 short essays that are basically free A's.
Stay away from this Professor is has a bad attitude when asking question.
HES USELESS. I'm a A/B student and I'm most likely going to fail this class with a C-. HUGE ATTITUDE when you ask for help. Obviously doesn't want to help you. His exams are ridiculously harder than what they need to be. Uses a virtual book which sucks. Buying his 3 cases are a mission and you have no choice but to do so. AVOID!!!!
Take him. I've had him online for macro and micro and it's not bad at all, especially compared to the other professors that I've heard of. There are 8 quizzes and 4 short essays. If you just follow the instructions, you'll definitely get an A on the essays
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! This is a serious note, take it or don't take it, I warned you. The professor is really rude, he thinks he's helping but he's sarcastic and does not really show interest much. The material is difficult to even pass with a good grade. At first you might get B's but after test 1&2 forget abt it unless you are smart & havetextb
Sooo...I took the internet course. YES only 8 quizzess and 4 EASY essays...but the quizzes are hard!!!! Make sure to get the book...if you read thoroughly study the book...you will do good. The Prof. is sarcastic and rude, and tries to seem smart by usin big words he doesnt even spell right!! Its pretty hilarious...Self-Motivation is key!!!!
Took it online, the essays are 36% of the grade and easy A's. The bi weekly quizzes are hard but if you read the book thoroughly they're cake. He always curves at the end so you'll get bumped up, his grading scale is lower so it's easier to get a higher grade, I missed one quiz still got a B+ in the class. Warning: He's rude in his emails
I took this class online and it was an excellent choice. Professor Sabet does have a lot of assignments, but as long as you do them by his guidelines which are not hard you get full credit, even if you don't say anything of substance. The tests are easy because they are based on a virtual text book where each chapter is about 6 pages.
Prof. Sabet is a great professor. All the work he gives is manageable (does not overflow you with work) and gives you plenty of time to do the work. Took it online, tests were not that bad, and assignments were pretty easy. All in all he is definitely a teacher to take if you are looking for a not so difficult online class. He makes it fun.
Do not take this class online, you will regret it! your grade is made up of just 4 exams & 4 essays. The essays are easy, but the real issue is that HE ONLY GIVES 90MINS TO ANSWER 100 QUESTIONS ON THE EXAMS. You hardly have enough time to think about the answers let alone be able to go back to check you work. RIDICULOUS!
I took this class online and had a very good experience. He is extremely fair with the grading and the class overall is doable. I really recommend this professor!
I took both ECO 2013 & ECO 2023 with Sabet online. It was tougher than what I expected, you do need to review your material and you do need the book. Maybe it was that I wasn't as involved in the class and I didn't check as often. He does provide curves & helps students out. I think he's pretty good compared to other professors I've taken.
I took this course online for Summer B. I thought the professor was extremely clear about his syllabus as though some students did not take the time to read it and misunderstood a few important items. Once the book is read and you understand the material, its an Easy A.
I took 2013 and 2023 (both online) with this professor summer B 2012. Do not take classes with this professor. He is not helpful at all. He does not answer your questions and makes you feel stupid everytime you ask a question. You are only given 90 mins to answer 100 questions which some include doing math and all include thinking. Ridiculous.
Do not take this professor . . consider going to Miami Dade. Communicating effectively was terrible. There is a huge language barrier and its noticeable in his emails. I kept getting sarcasm and rude comments. Answers emails, but provides no solution or guidance. I considered going to dept about issues - DONT TAKE CLASS UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN GPA.
Big attitude, which comes off even through email. However, course itself is pretty easy. May seem like a lot of work at first, but really, basically everything (besides the exams) is a written assignment usually around a paragraph or 2. Take him. Easy A.
Horrible teacher! Although he does not provide many assignments, which you would think would be an easy A, he is very rude if you encounter an issue, and if you piss him off, he will try to convict you of plagarism. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
Took it online. 4 tests. Just read the book and the tests are easy
Easy A. I failed last semester micro and decided to take it online. It's really not that bad, just take notes for all the chapters and take your time to read. 4 exams and 2 shot easy essays.
While, he is rude in emails the class is easy. 4 quizzes and 2 essays thats it. You MUST be a good independent learner if not you wont pass.
Took this class online. Try to stay away from this professor. Not very helpful at all and gives a lot of attitude when asked for feedback. Virtual textbook is horrible and the test answers are ambiguous.
Not hard at all. Took it online and have gotten A's and B's on all exams so far. There are two 500wd essays and 4 exams. I never had to speak with him or email him, but I hear he answers his emails quickly.
This has to be one of the worst Professors ever at FIU. The material for the class is not hard at all however he writes his own book which consist of about 5 different slides. He uses footnotes on his slides in which you have to go into and read on your own. He is rude and does not help when asked.
The exams had to be completed in too little time for 50 questions. He is very sarcastic when responding to emails. You basically have to teach yourself and read the chapters thoroughly to be able to get an A. Don't count on him to explain anything. He does curve the grades though.
Seriously these people need to calm down. He isnt rude if you follow directions, the tests are straight forward, and obviously he wont hold your hand if you take it online. The essays are SO EASY. The class is what it is, I was HORRIBLE at Econ and managed a B and an A for macro and micro. Like people freak out unless an A is handed to them.
This class was extremely easy and the professor really helpful. I got an A and he bumps up one essay out of the two you do if he sees the class is doing bad. I really recommend it. I sent him 1 e-mail all year and he answer within minutes and was extremely helpful. 10/10 Class
Take it! He is straight forward with the assignments, if you follow the syllabus and the instructions you should pass the class, 4 exams, 2 essays, two discussions, not hard at all!!
Very straight forward. Easy to get an A but he is also real quick to take off points just for format. Even though you may know the material, he takes off points for submission. Guess have students learn isn't his goal. Follow the format to a T or he will take off a significant amount of points.
(1) The exams are based on his online textbook and are easy. HOWEVER, when it comes to his discussions, essays, and cases, he's a disaster. He does not know the proper format for citing, so god forbid you cite in the paper itself anything, he will think you're plagiarizing and his max word requirement is just irrational. He asked for a max of 10
Highly recommend this professor. Although it is an online class , he takes his time responding to inquiries and is a delight ! He has us participate by watching interesting videos on current events just to get our intake. The class consists of discussions , two essays and 4 exams. Very possible to receive an A if you do the work.
Very good professor. Answers email promptly. Very lenient. Recommend him. 4 exams (4 ch each), 2 essays (250 words), 2 discussion.
FIU should reconsider hiding such a bogus professor as he makes value of the finance program go down SIGNIFICANTLY. Take Marcos Kerbel for finances courses, he's actually teaches finance. Badi Sabet does not really know finance, No real value in taking him. He just assigns easy classwork to get u out his classroom, avoid this guy if u wanna learn.
Great professor highly recommend it! 100 times better than Gummerson. Professor Sabet wants you to pass the class. There are essays and discussions that help you bring up your grade and hopefully get an A
Amazing professor. Does everything in his power to help you understand Macroecon and uses many life examples. I had him in person, and he was very funny. Gives random 10 points on test if you show up to class. I have gotten As on every test so far, and in his class there were only 4 exams, no homework. Recommend!
Amazing professor, helps you a lot by giving extra credit and study guides. You need to go and take notes and pay attention to pass its easy if you do that. My favorite professor by far.
Took his class online. If you can get him take him!! He's a very lenient grader. 4 exams on four chapters each, very few calculations. 2 discussions and two 250 word essays. Not a lot of work. Didn't have any video lectures but he provides chapter notes. It basically summarizes what is in the textbook. Good prof and always emails students. Take him
There are 4 test all online, 2 essays that are fairly simple, and 2 other assignments that are very easy. I highly recommend taking it online. He is quick to answer emails and solve any confusion or problem you might have.
4 tests in total (4 chapters each) He can get sidetracked A LOT when he talks about his family and stuff but hes funny and its enjoyable. You dont need to go to class to pass,I recommend just reading the book and you will pass. Most of his test are key terms and every test he gave us at least a 10pt curve when he said he wont. Gives great reviews!
I took this ECO 2013 online with Sabet, and I have to say it was one of my easiest classes so far. Class consists of 2 essays, 2 discussion, and 4 exams. Easy A.
Took this class online. The grading is straight foward. 2 discussions, 2 short essays, 4 exams. Lenient grader, clear notes, clear communication with students, easy A.
Took online, easy A and at the end elevated everyones garde an entire letter grade anyway. Has office hours and will answer questions. Take him!!!
Easy A, definitely recommend him over Gummerson or any other professor. 2 short discussions, 2 short essays, and 4 easy tests. I would definitely take another class with him. At the end of the course, he elevated everyone's grades by one letter grade.
Easy A. You must do all assignments and he is very specific of how you should submit it. Must follow all his requirements in order to get a full grade. I missed two assignments and still got to pass the class. He's fair.
Such an easy class and the book isn't necessary. 4 exams that are not at all difficult, 2 short discussion posts, and 2 short essays. Definitely recommend him.
If you want the easiest class ever, take this one with Sabet online. 4 tests all online and all the answers are on google. a few other assignments, but not hard
Good professor. You really dont need the book, just watch his lectures and read all the notes and other materials he gives. 4 tests that are not that difficult. Put effort into the class and it should be a breeze.
Excellent professor! I took him for 2 Finance classes and really enjoyed the classes. Very tough grader but if you follow his grading criteria to a T you will pass with an A. 2 exams, 2 case studies, 2 essays, and 6 discussion posts. Do not fall behind! You do not need to buy the book. All his tests are from his lecture notes. Great class!
Took the class online, gives you everything that is due on the beginning of the term so you can work at your own pace and turn it in on the due date. 2 discussion questions, 2 essays and 4 exams. You do not need the book, exams are a piece of cake!! He is a fair grader. Easy A, will definitely take him again.
Very easy class. 4 exams and 3 discussion board posts all done online. Be careful you don't miss the deadlines though. I missed the deadline for one of the exams and I ended up with a B instead of an A.
He is an extremely rude and unprofessional man. His method of putting out the work assignments is not clear, his syllabus is not clear, and if you ask him he gives you major attitude.
took both this semester 2013 & 2023 online straight forward he uses book, his online notes, use whatever else you can find online. Tests all online, timed, material knowledge or where to find it is a must, will respond to emails but not very friendly, do your work. No extra credit. 4 tests 3 assignments about 250-300words & response to students 175
Professor requests college level writing and if you produce such level, he does not think it is yours and lowers your score for not doing citation.
This professor has very strict grading policies. Follow his grading scale and you should do well. 2 exams. 2 essay. and 6 cases.
Run! He is a picky grader. You submit an essay too early - points taken off. You didn't write the name you responded to for a discussion - point off. You submitted your assignment in the comment section instead - point off. He's worst than literature professor with a PHD. If he can take away points because someone's face is ugly he probably will.
I'm taking this class online. The exams are easy if you actually read and look over the material. I recently found myself with a blackboard technical issue and he not only responded super quickly but told me what to do in order to help resolve the issue. Super understanding and responds quickly to e-mails.
He is rude and does not respond properly to emails. He is fast to try and disregard your issue and his syllabus isn't clear, and then you will pay the price for not understanding it. It definitely is an easy online class, I'd say you'd get an easy B if you don't try too hard but you do have to work a bit for an A.
Four exams throughout the semester and a discussion along with each one. Online is much easier than in person from what I heard. You have to reply to three other students discussions but that is super easy. He says what he expects from the students and he is super understanding and nice.
If you are taking it online, do not rely on announcements or emails. Check blackboard messages ONLY and be ready to sift. 4 exams @ 22% each and 3 discussions @ 4% each. Professor changed the syllabus more than a quarter through the semester and sent one message through blackboard titled "correction". Sabet continues to have communication issues.
I would recommend this class for Fin 3403. It is one of the easiest one and Finance courses are hard. But it is super easy with this professor. Great lecture and easy exams.
Took Spring 2017. He breaks the semester into reading 4 chapters at a time w/a test after each & 3 discussions in between. Glad I didn't need him for anything, which is good because I didn't get a sense from him that he wanted to be bothered with the students. Basically, just here read this & test. Pretty much taught myself. I recommend lab
This online course consisted of 4 non-proctored tests 22% each and 4 homework assignments 4% each. This course was very easy and was not time consuming at all. All course material is clearly described and provided on blackboard.
Professor Sabet gives you the resources you need to pass however you need to put in the time to do well in tests. It's not a hard class as long as you study. I would reccomend him!
Such an easy class, just make sure you do the discussion he gives 5 days to do them. Start early and you wont have a problem! i definitely recommend the class its alot easier than it seems
This professor is rude and sarcastic when you try to ask him for help. The tests are not from the book and waste of money if you buy one, the test questions are mostly from the virtual online. The writing assignments are easy but I Do Not Recommend this professor, you'll be learning on your own and wish you luck on the tests.
Easy class, terrible professor. Seems to have deep-seated power and insecurity issues; unclear, illogical, and muddled thought processes.
After the first test given he cancelled all the mini cases that helped improve your grade bc the answers could be found on the book. He changed the way we would take our tests at home,making us pay every time we took a test. He seemed sarcastic and not very helpful ,does not gives study guide
Not a great teacher. Very rude when you reach out to him individually with questions. He changed the syllabus to cancel the mini cases because "the answers were online" even though you had to scan him copies of your math work. If you can read the book and study from there you'll be fine. Just don't expect any support from the professor.
Three assignments and four exams. Mostly everything is online, but make sure to get it done by the deadline! He doesn't care if you're late by 1 minute he will not help you.
There were 3 discussions and you really would not know unless you check because I missed the first one and the teacher did not say anything or post the topic so many students missed it. The tests were very difficult and it was alot of reading. No proctored tests all of them were on blackboard.
Loved this class. I failed macro before taking Professor Sabet. He is extremely easy. 3-4 tests and 3 discussions. Do the discussions even if they are only 4 points each. The tests are 50 questions and EVERYTHING is in his powerpoints/posts on blackboard. No need to buy the textbooks. Everything is on blackboard.
Honestly, just do what's assigned on time and you'll pass with a good grade. The tests aren't bad and there are four of them I believe. Do the discussions! They are easy and can help your grade.
he changed everything. only grades are the exams and he gives no guidance at all on how to study. its a self study class, do at your own risk
I took this class online and it was so easy. All the answers to the tests are online. There are 4 tests and 4 discussions. As long as you turn in the discussion you will get credit. He is kind of a jerk though just because if you dont turn it in theres not a lot of leeway.
Took online, 3 group discussions (he posts topic and you have to write 100-150 words on each item - will require you to research subject either in book or online but book not necessary, plus respond to other students postings 75 words each) - 4 tests. Tests are difficult but if can use quizlet and other online resources for this you will be fine.
A bit unorganized - began making changes to assignments towards the end of the semester. Followed the syllabus for the most part, minus criteria changes done to comply with online class requirements. 4 exams (questions can be found online) that requires respondus lockdown browser & 3 discussion posts (via turnitin) ranging from 200-500 words.
With assignments, he is very picky. You think you got 100 instead you end up with 0. You need these points to be able to get an A in the class. If you have a problem, he will not helpit feels as if he gets mad at you for asking or emailing. I would take this class with another professor & I wish I would have.
This professor was great in my opinion. He makes the class very straight forward and easy to follow. Four exams and a small discussion following each. Just study for them or have your notes handy and you'll be fine.
Well lets begin with if you are a fan of just teach yourself kind of person the. This is definetl your guy since you will never see him even tho its an online class he barely responds his emails the only thing he will tell you its a hard class you need to study. Give you 4 test 25 point each and thats it nothing else no homework no participati
2nd discussion graded without any type of rubric. He used turnitin to find your match%. 3rd discussion: told we would be able to view the match% but never given a chance. Gave us a rubric of what grade youll receive depending on the match percentage & the match% received on the 2nd discussion did NOT match with the rubric! Super unprofessional.
DO NOT BOTHER TO TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT/NEED TO PASS THIS CLASS. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS STUDENTS AT ALLLL. ONLY 4 TESTS, DON'T EVEN ASK FOR EXTRA WORK. HARD TO REACH. NO STUDY GUIDE GIVEN, YOU MUST STUDY ALL THE SECTIONS OF THE CHAPTERS GIVEN. SELF STUDY. KNOW THE SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR. HE CHANGED HIS TUTORING BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE.
He does not care about the student, he is just there to collect a pay check. FIU should be ashamed of having this guy as a faculty member. Stay away from him. 4 test and that's it, no study, and does not answer emails.
He's the WORST Professor ever, he's biased, arrogant, and His online class barely provides any substantial videos, notes, or resourcesthat will reflect the material you are going to be tested on, He also laughed in one of my classmate's face and said that practically no one is passing his class, and He told me the same as well, He's garbage.
You have 4 test... That's all you're graded on. Ridiculous
You have 4 test. Uses Honorlock and goes by what they say and deducts points. They said my face was half cut off for a portion of the exam and he deducted 45% of the grade... Wouldn't take him unless its a last resort. Good luck
So this professor is the most disorganized professor I have ever taken. Does not explain any assignment at all, but yet expects you to meet his ridiculous standards. It frankly is not worth the frustration. The content is easy, but wow does this man make it difficult to succeed. I am sure there are better professors out there.
Merely a course proctor rather than a professor, unavailable outside of class and inflexible. No lectures, all textbook, learn on your own. I received a 33% grade penalty for writing too many words on an assignment while receiving no feedback on the contents. Class could just as well have been automated as this instructor was not a participant.
Do not this to yourself if you have another option. He will NOT follow his own rubric, will deduct points if your essay has ten words over the limit (300 words, basically like 4 or 5 GOOD sentences ) he gave. Just don't do it.
So, hes very strict on his rubric that he has for grading essays. He will deduct points for every 50 or 100 words you go over and even more points if your essay resembles anything online because of its shortness. I took him for micro and then decided to take him again for macro. Because if you follow instructions, an A is Very doable ;)
Grading scale is different than most classes (so an 88% is still an A- for example). Class consisted of 3 very short essays worth 4 points each. Must stick EXACTLY to his rubric to receive full points! The 4 exams were a little tricky but definitely doable. The textbook is free but he posts powerpts based off the textbook. Just review before exams
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROFESSOR. Honestly, shouldn't even be called that. Online class only consists of 4 exams, nothing else to support grade. Exams through HonorLock and deducts points if you get flagged on HonorLock even for little things like lighting. No clear indication of what will even be on the exams. You teach yourself the entire semester.
I had Dr. Sabet last fall for ECO2013 online as a dual enrollment class while in the 12th grade. Overall, it was an easy A. The assignments were just six in total: four tests and two essays. As long as you do your work, you should be fine.
Most hostile and rude professor I've ever had. He answers emails with pettiness and gives attitude, making you feel dumb for asking questions, which he doesn't clarify in the first place. 3 exams and 2 essays are what makes up the entire grade. He'll deduct points for going 10 words over "300 words, no more no less". Like, seriously? Very unhelpful
He is the absolute worst professor at FIU! Do not take him! He seems like he gets off on failing his students
The class consists of 4 tests that are all taken through HonorLock. There isn't enough time for all of the questions. Prof isn't good at helping with questions. Because so many people failed this class, the professor ended up bumping those people up to passing grades but did not award any extra points to those who actually passed.
The Macroeconomics online course was very self explanatory. Read the required chapters, do the required written essays and take the test on the reading material. If you do that, you will pass. I would take this professor again. He gives enough time in between to get the material read before taking the test
I would not recommend the teacher but it is an easy class. The extra credit is like 2 percent so do not rely on it.
I took ECO2013 online with him and it was a breeze. Four 150-300 word essays (basically a page) and four exams. He's very clear on what he wants on the syllabus so if you get a bad grade that just means you didn't read it. READ THE SYLLABUS AND YOU WILL GET AN A!
You are graded by 4 writing assignments and 4 tests. He gives you plenty of time prepare your writing assignments to turn in on a specific day. Pay attention to reading charts and understand what they mean. Do not miss a test, he does not make exceptions unless it was prearranged. He will give you a 0! He also gives plenty of reminders. Best wishes
I took his online class, you are being graded by 4 exams and 2 essays, the answers are online, so the class is an easy A, but he does not teach
The best online class I ever took, short assignments so helpful
This class was very easy online there was 2 essays and 4 tests. Everything was online like the textbook there was free pdf versions and the professor is easy just do what the syllabus says. The only thing for the tests they would be locked and only accessed the same day they were due.
Avoid at all costs. Sabet is extremely disorganized. I found and pointed out errors in his syllabus along with instructions on Canvas going against what the syllabus said. He would then change the syllabus, not tell you what he changed, and expect you to meet the new standard. Relies too heavily on TA, you are 100% on your own for this class.
He responds to emails very quickly. The tests are not proctored and easy if you know the material. There is one essay and 6 class discussions. A pretty easy class overall.
He gives 2 essays, 2 case studies and weekly discussions that are easy to do and he's not a tough grader. His tests are directly from his lecture notes BUT beware of his wording he makes the questions so confusing and if you overthink it you'll get it wrong. He also does not give extra credit or round your grade up no matter how small so beware
Professor is rude when asking simple questions regarding the course and does not care for students. The material is easy to learn. He will have technical issues on his end and not know how to resolve them. He will expect you to take them on time when assignments CAN NOT be found or NEVER existed. He will then create it and give a zero. VERY RUDE
Although the class was not terribly difficult, the Professor had communication problems due to English not being his first language. When I asked for clarification he was rude and disrespectful. Also, when I found errors on his quiz, he fought me over it before finally agreeing with my math and giving me the appropriate credit. We deserve better!
His class is easy if you do the little work there is. Overall the class is easy but YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT ON TIME, this guy does not allow late submissions and does not care for what you have to say or what your situation is.
This guy does not care at all. The class is not that difficult but you have to teach yourself. The resources provided in Canvas are an absolute joke. I would say the average person can get a C or a B without cheating. He doesn't really care about helping or teaching and is just present. The class is mid in difficulty. I wouldn't really recommend.
What ever you do please do not take this professor. He doesn't care about anything nor his students. I have a full time job, I was a full time student, and a full time mom. Not even that he cared. Don't bother with this professor trust me.
Insanely easy. All exams and modules are done online and u barely even talk to the professor. I heard from other classmates that he was really tough on late submissions so be careful with that.
Beware that he will not let you turn anything in late, if you miss one assignment, it can drop your grade by a letter because there are few assignments. I missed one discussion board and it cost me an A.
Don't take this class; you have to study on your own; there is no assistance at all. His assistant discovered 2 incorrect answers for each test, not including the last test, which has formulas that are not in the book and all questions with formulas with only one minute to complete, and he repeats the same question like six times.
There are no lectures in an online course. He just gives the book's title. There are many formula questions that take longer to answer than the allotted time on the test. There are certain questions that are not in the book, and each test has at least two wrong questions
Lots of writing in this course. You've got 6-discussions, 2-Cases, and 2-Essays. Not hard, but if you follow his guidelines to the T, you'll be ok. I don't believe he's a harsh grader. Additionally, 2-Exams, not proctored or lockdown, but I recommend reading his class notes, as this will help with the exams.
The class was fairly easy. There are 2 cases, 2 essays, 2 exams, and 6 discussions. If you don't like to read or write I do not recommend you take this class. The professor grades fairly and responds to his emails and is willing to help you. The textbook is not needed since the test are based on his lecture notes, read carefully.
Professor doesn't give much guidance, course is more of self-teach through the textbook and assignments. Assignments are easy, but learning-wise, I don't do well with just reading powerpoints and hoping I remember everything. Unproctored exams on canvas. It's a good class if you wanna sit back and do the minimum work but don't expect to learn.
The professor doesn't teach much; more like a self-taught class. Like the other person said, assignments were easy but don't expect to learn too much. I recommend it if you just want to get it over with and don't care whether you learn/if you're good at learning by yourself. Otherwise, be careful.
Was mostly tests, nothing else but 2 small essays. Straight forward class and tests aren't bad, but the lectures aren't the best and the book is boring.
This class is more of a self-taught experience. The professor doesn't provide much guidance, but assignments are straightforward. Unstuckstudy AI was a huge help for study prep - definitely made exam prep easier.
The class is clear overall: 2 paid cases, 2 essays, 6 discussions, and 2 tests. But if you lose even 1 point on an assignment, like an essay, it directly lowers your final grade since the professor doesn't use weighted averages. Every point counts equally. So keep that in mind
Despite the other reviews I proceeded to join his class and I have no regrets. He makes everything he expects very clear in the syllabus. I advised that you complete what you can from the syllabus do not wait until he unlocks the assignment. Follow the syllabus and you'll be fine.
