honestly, I would pay to have professor mutlu as my calc teacher. She was always right there helping when u had questions, gave multiple opportunities to bring your grade up, and was very good with responding to emails. I struggled with one topic and I met with her and she helped me understand it. I'm so glad I had her as a teacher. PLEASE TAKE HER

Mrs. Mutlu is an AWESOME Professor, CARING, & WELL RESPECTED, wants to see you do well in her class. Anything she can do to help she will & is very patient. When it comes to helping, she breaks down the problems to help you better understand them. Mrs.Mutlu shows you how a real professor is supposed to be. Loved stats because of her.

Overall Ms. Mutlu wasn't horrible. We had a disagreement at the beginning of the semester over Proctorio (exam proctoring), and apparently, this made her unavailable to help me for the rest of the course (8week). Luckily I'm diligent and can learn material on my own, so I was fine. Would not suggest her for students who may need extra help.

Mrs. Mutlu is a great professor. Her lectures are easy to follow, explained well, and broken up nicely. The test questions were similar to assignment problems. Tests were with the note sheets too. Tests were weighted heavily, however, so make sure to study! She was always very helpful and understanding.

Ms. Mutlu hands down is one of the best professors I've had. I can't thank her enough. She cares so much about her students and making sure that you understand the material, which is very important for a class like this. She is extremely personable, funny, and sarcastic which I find awesome. Put the hours in and you'll be fine! Attend lectures too!

If you want an easy teacher, then don't take a math class. If you want the best teacher you can probably get for a math class, then take this math class. Prof. Mutlu always responds very quickly in teams, she gives extensions if you ask for them. Sometimes, she even lets you retake quizzes. But if you listen in class, you will actually do well.

Recommend taking another prof for online. Quizzes every week but amount to only 10% of grade. A total of 70% of your grade rests on 4 in-person paper exams and a final. No notes, no scrap paper. Final exam replaces lowest test grade if higher. 4-modules, each with a paper group assignment just like the exams. Use assignments to study.

This class was very horrible. I have never had problems with math until this prof. She never explained the concepts she only sent out YouTube videos for you to watch. Her way of teaching is showing you how to solve problems that ARE NOT gonna be on the test. Overall a 3/10. She was nice and caring but definitely not worth the tuition money.

Dr. Mutlu is very nice and laid back. Not too much homework is assigned, majority of it is deciding if you need the extra practice. I took precalc in high school, so it definitely made the course easier. There were multiple times when students would have to correct her work though. It was not a big problem, it was just kind of annoying.

Weekly slides were given (old power points which were sometimes incomplete and choppy, I have screenshots) and then we were expected to know the material.

Professor Mutlu was great. She knows what she's teaching and tries to make it as easy as possible, allows extra time, if needed. Fyi, there are weekly quizzes each week so be prepared.

She's very nice, knows what she is doing and loves the subject - that makes all the difference in a math class. She doesn't immediately assume you know tricky things from prior classes and reviews them and presents options.

This professor is very passive aggressive, encourages questions but hates when you ask them. She literally has given me a shrug several times instead of helping me with my problem. Her tests are difficult for no reason. Only good thing is she lets you bring a cheat sheet to the test and the hws u can redo however many times.

Had an A in Mutlu's MA 152 until a group project where two members bailed dropped me to a C. This hurt my academic path—I must retake the class for statistics despite A's on both exams.
