You don't even have to show up to class tbh. All of her work is on MyFinanceLab. There is a lot of homework. Just do your work and you'll be fine

Comment:

I didnt like this course. Overall, she is a nice lady but she pretty much just reads off the PowerPoint slides which are available on Myfinance lab anyway. You have to purchase the access code for this class, where the online portion you have to pretty much teach yourself all the material because her lectures are useless. Wouldnt take her again.

Comment:

Professor Grubacic was a very nice women. The class was very hard because I do not enjoy economics and a ton of content was covered. It helped that a lot of the homework was online because you can do it until you get a 100. The in class exams are tough because it's hard to figure out what will be on them, but they are open note.

Comment:

Such a sweet lady, but her lectures are all over the place. You need to purchase the Pearson lab code and text to pass and do the homework/quizzes. You basically have to teach yourself because she isn't really helpful.

She was a very nice person. Has an accent and can be tough to understand at times. Good amount of work for a hybrid class. Midterm and final are open note.

Comment:

shes a nice person but not a great teacher. She uses econ labs for almost everything and tends to change due dates last minute. class lectures are incredibly difficult to understand and are hardly relevant to any other work in the class. online work and in class work are never the same. she also isn't very clear when answering questions.

Comment:

bad lecturer, relies on my econlab for everything, anything she explains in class is not on in-class tests or quizess, be prepared to teach yourself everything and be extremely bored in class. I would avoid this professor at all costs if you can.

Comment:

She's not the best at explaining things, and it is a regular class but she treats it like it is a hybrid. Most of our learning is through the homework and quizzes through my econ lab and that is mostly how we learn. It is an easy class but be ready to teach yourself and be bored in class.

Comment:

Read the textbook and do all of the Finance Lab assignments to the best of your ability. HW can be done multiple attempts so use as many as you can to get 100% or close to it. Do all online hw and quizzes, read/study for the exam - you'll be fine.

Comment:

Sanja was a nice and smart educator. She mainly used the text and supplementing materials, but she explained everything in class. There was a bit of homework, but it was helpful when it came to the quizzes assigned and the exams. As long as you came to class and paid attention, you were solid.

Comment:

I personally hated Sanja during the semester because I felt as though she gave a lot of unnecessary homework. However, I learned A LOT from this class and because of all of the knowledge I gained in this class I have decided to pursue a minor in Economics. The work is definitely not fun to do but you will learn a lot! I would take this prof again.

Comment:

Prof. Grubacic is a very knowledgable instructor in here field. However, she might know a little too much which tend to change the focus of the lectures. She also speaks quietly, and slowly. You will have to force yourself to stay awake at times. READ and keep ALL materials she gives you! They will help tremendously with exams.

Comment:

Such a nice lady. She has an accent so some words take a couple repetitions to understand but her English is near perfect. I thought her lectures were interesting and they kept my attention. As someone who has never taken an economics class before I feel like I learned so much and I'm so grateful for that:)

Comment:

We're only in class one day a week and that class is so confusing she explains it horribly. She makes us use MyEconLab instead of blackboard so you have to pay to use the website for homework. Sometimes she does questions wrong and people have to correct her and she always does this obnoxious giggle when shes wrong.

Comment:

I found Professor Grubacic to be a nice person. She comes to class and teaches, nothing more, nothing less. The online test were too hard, but she never made the in class exams as difficult, which was a plus. I would stay away from the hybrids if possible. I didn't love her, but I didn't dread coming to class either.

Comment:

Teaching-wise, she's the worst professor I ever had. The way she explained the material just made it more complicated than necessary, she frequently did the problems incorrectly as well, and always has to correct herself, or the students will have to. All assignments on MyEconLab. Don't reccommend.

Comment:

She speaks broke english, so its hard to understand her. The class in general is hard, so the fact that you cant understand her sucks. Its a hybrid course so half is online, so its like im teaching myself everything because shes little help. You need to buy the book or the access code because every assignment is on MYmathlab. This class is confusin

I didn't think she was a bad teacher. Her lectures would just get very boring at times but overall she wasn't bad. It's a tough class, so you actually have to study for the exams. If you study hard, you should be fine.

Comment:

She is confusing and you hardly learn anything. It's easy since she gives a curve but if you want to learn anything, then don't take.
