Puts all of his assignments on eCampus and sends emails the day before class with homework to be completed before that class meeting time. When you ask him for help he says either: 'you should know this already' or 'that is not my job/department, go to extra help.' Strict, rude, and impatient. Doesn't use the textbook, everything is online.

I have taken engineering courses ever since high school and even the worst teacher there puts the way he teaches the ENG111 class to shame. The TA's have higher overall lecture time than him yet he expects all the students to understand everything perfectly the first time. If you email him about anything you will promptly get your head bit off.

He doesn't explain the material clear enough. His lectures are too vague. He rarely provide specific examples to the topics we cover in the class. During the second part of the course (MATLAB) he does not even teach the class. TA's will give lectures over the MATLAB. Expect quizes every class. He assigns a lot of homework.

I don't think 111 is a class that is really teacher based as you mostly just follow directions on ecampus and work with your group. If you ask for help he will help you. The rating doesn't really portray him as a professor, he isn't that bad and I wouldn't avoid him if the class fits your schedule.

It kind of sounds like most ENGR 11 professors are pretty similar. Dr. Oz is a nice guy who cares, but is a little absent minded with this class, expects you to completely understand every little thing he mentions, even some things he forgets to mention. Most of this class depends on you group and the GA in your class. Not the worst, not the best.

I took him for materials science. He's a nice enough guy, tries to keep the class engaged during lecture, but the tests are terrible. Be ready to read five chapters for a single test, only to forget a few facts he asks you for on the test, and get massive points taken off.

Guy genuinely cares about students learning. Doesn't make graded material very difficult, and really just earnestly wants you to know what he has to teach.

Ozmetin is trying his best, but the lectures just aren't that helpful. He gives a small amount of homework, so that is amazing. Hopefully you get good TA's. I joined him on the second week of class since I heard he was easy, and it was worth it. Although, you won't really learn much unless you study the powerpoints.

He is fine. He definitely cares more about Mat Sci than ENGR216. But sometimes he comes off as dry, bored, and not wanting to do any work. I will say he is good at answering questions and being more than willing to go back and reexplain things in class. Not too difficult and not to easy, just average in my opinion on work load and difficulty.

Class was much easier than chem 107. Labs are straightforward and the TAs are helpful. The lecture is boring and the hw is alright.

Dr. O had his own homework assignments at times, which were easier than the homework everyone else had. The lectures were always uploaded, so attendance wasn't mandatory.

Dr. Ozmetin is very knowledgeable, however, he is honestly not the nicest guy. He gets angry when students email him questions and he probably won't give out extensions if you ever ask. I would not recommend for those who tend to email profs heavily or those who have a lot of questions. He does not tolerate nonsense.

He is the best option for the class. Good guy. He gives homework like maybe twice a month and tends to give less work than the other professors. It is an easy A if you do the assignments and do well on the labs, but it kind of depends on your TA. Just don't ask him questions that he already mentioned in emails. He wants to give everyone 100s.

Honestly, I showed up to two of Oz' lectures this semester before realizing I didn't need to - it's a simple course. Any of my frustrations with the class had far more to do with the PTs than Oz himself - he's super chill and makes it very clear what you need to do to get the grade you want. Of the 216/217 profs, he seems like a solid choice.

ENGR217 this semester was a breeze, the lectures for Doctor Oz were optional and all homework except the first one were essays which were completion grades. The labs were the hard part of this sem, the TAs were horrible graders. This review is for people taking this class online, I'm not sure how he works in person.

First of all let me say: the TAs are what make this class easy or hard. They are in charge of 80% of your grade. they can be lax or sticklers That being said Ozmetin is easy for his 20%. almost no homework and the lectures aren't mandatory

Basically never showed up to lectures, or even watched them after. If I needed info it was pretty much always on the slides he posted. Homework was really odd, but never very difficult, mostly just short writing assignments about various types of technology. Can't say much about his in-person classes, but online definitely a good choice.

Do Oz is not the worst but he is also not the best. The only way i would take it again is if there is no final. Not sure about thr previous semesters, but this time with everything onlie the lab was awful. biggest thing i have against this profile is when he says " you should already know this" or " I'm not going to to go through the details".

This semester he has cancelled lecture over 5 times, twice was because he was not feeling well after being vaccinated which I understand but the rest were random. There are 10 units and he only ever gave us homework over the first 3 then gave up, but we still have a final exam after never practicing 7/10 units. No quizzes, not ready for exam.

Class as a whole was pretty unorganized; cancelled lectures multiple times this semester; only gave us 3 HWs (out of 10 total units) the entire semester, which took months to be graded; knowledgeable prof but very blunt which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. mandatory final exam which he did not prepare us for at all

His lectures are useless as anyone with basic reading skills can read the powerpoints themselves (that's all he really does). He didn't properly prepare us for a final and wasn't much help on the labs. He did the bare min. so be ready to depend on your friends who have instructors that actually do their job to make it through this class.

He canceled lectures multiple times this semester, barely gave out any hw (which I know should be a good thing but trust me, when there's a final, lectures constantly canceled, and a professor who just reads word per word from the slides as if you are illiterate, you would have wished you had hw). Useless and a waste of time. DO NOT TAKE HIM

He asks students to ask questions, but most often when they do he becomes aggressive and says "I just went over that" or "were you not paying attention". He reads off the slides and he isn't always the easiest to understand. He assigned only 3 assignments this semester and for most of them I learned the concepts on my own.

Dr. Oz can come across a little harsh at times, but I don't think he's trying to be rude. He really doesn't like being asked self-explanatory questions or ones that have just been answered. His lectures are clear and they prepare you well for the assignments. The worst part of this class are the lab reports, and they're graded by PTs, not Dr. Oz.

Dr. Oz is what your high school teachers warn that college is going to be like. He hates repeating himself and is blunt to the point of rudeness when being asked questions, sometimes. He canceled lecture a good amount, and we never had homework, so when it came to the final, we were all unprepared. Very little effort needed, though. Roll your dice.

Only assigned 3 HWs the whole semester, which sounds good until you realize there is a mandatory exam; read lectures right off the slides which did not help at all and I basically had to teach myself everything. Often very combative when asked questions; to be fair, some of the questions were "stupid" but that doesn't excuse rudeness

My section met on a Friday afternoon, and we quite literally only had class 4 times the whole semester. Even when in lectures, he was very dry and when asked a question, would go off and tell us to grow up. The final was common, so our section was very behind for it b/c we never had class. I have heard he is better in person, but online don't take

Dr. O is the college professor your high school teachers warned you about. He comes off as rude sometimes, so make sure you follow directions and do not expect him to go out of his way to help you. The labs take a few days to complete, however, they really teach you a lot about making professional lab reports and evaluating data. Go to lectures!

His lectures make absolutely no sense. He'd ask a question, no one would respond, then he'd say "come on guys you should know this" like he didn't just invent a new theorem. The tests were kind of like the review, the final was extremely hard with the most random concepts. Horrible teacher, does not care, I learned nothing.

There were only a few homework assignments the whole semester which made it difficult to practice and learn the information. When I would ask him questions, he seemed annoyed and would give very bland answers. His lectures are just okay but he does not post his slides before the lecture, making it harder to take notes. He did round my 89.4 to an A.
