For the class: Absolutely pointless content, even though I dont even think its Serguey's fault. This has got to be the biggest waste of your time at Smith. Literally just bullshit common sense concepts from ECON200. For the professor: Attendance is always required and the lectures are so boring, so useless. Serguey also did not give a fuck if you had valid emergencies that prevented you from completing an assignment - his course is structured in a way where it is almost impossible to complete makeup work or submit something late. He basically told me "deal with it" Just take it with somebody else lmao

Absolutely terrible professor. The whole semester he just rambles on about information in a monotone voice, plus 99% of the class isn't even paying attention. I think the worst part is I received a 92.8% in the class and assumed that would be an A- right? As in the syllabus there is nothing about how the letter grades correlate with the % in the class that you get. Well it turns out "For this semester" the grades were "too high" overall and this dumb professor made the cut off for a A- 93%. I emailed the prof about this not knowing what was going on because again there was nothing in the syllabus or announcements telling us about how the grading is, and his response was basically "deal with it". For the final grades to be at the discretion for "each semester" and not a set system is absolute shit. Do not take this professor as he will not teach you anything beneficial, take a different professor that will actually benefit you and teach you something you could apply to the real world.

This class is so damn boring and Serguey doesn't do it any favors. His class is pretty easy; the hardest thing about the class is staying awake to Serguey's monotone and boring lectures of topics learned back in ECON200. I'm not gonna say hes a terrible teacher but I def did not have a good time/learn anything at any point in this course.

Im not gonna lie hes a really nice dude but the course is just structured so poorly. You can probably get an easy A- but you wont learn anything useful or interesting. And attendance is mandatory which is rough

One of the most boring professors in the Smith school. Genuinely doesn't know how to make classes engaging and only reads off the slides during class. He doesn't provide slides before class or immediately after class and makes attendance mandatory for a grade. He also forces you to purchase Harvard Cases and doesn't let you turn it in for a grade if you found the case for free online (Almost all the cases were free online but he forces you to buy it for the grade). Any alternative professor would be better than him.

Course consists of 4 homework assignments (lowest dropped), midterm, group presentation, and final paper (~4 pages). Attendance is taken. Braguinsky is a kind professor and cares deeply about his subject. If you go to class and do the readings it should be very doable. There are discussions in every class so expect to need to speak and know that days material.

Good professor. Long lectures but he is flexible and kind. Work includes 4 homework assignments, midterm, group presentation and final paper. Not a super easy class but also not the worse class.
