He allows us to 1 page (front and back) of notes with WHATEVER we want for the tests and quizes. His English isn't terrible but if you don't attempt to listen you wont understand (as with all math classes). If you fail tests and quizes it's completely your fault seeing as he allows any notes for the test.

Extremely smart, he seems to skip some parts of the problem (if you ask him do write down what he skipped, he'll help you later). He doesn't want you to fail, if you do then it is your fault.

Professor Ramazan is the WORST professor I have ever had. He had ZERO compassion and willingness to help with homeworks and seems miserable as a teacher and does it for pay. I could not take a test because of technical difficulties. The proctor was there as well but he was not willing to help and I had to drop the class. He is a horrific professor

His teaching is not terrible. However, he goes fast and does not take the time to go over concepts that he should. This would all be fine however if you go to ask him a question HE IS SO RUDE. He does not care about your success or your understanding. If you are someone who likes a teacher you can ask questions DO NOT take him.

More straightforward and engaging. His tests don't consist of impossible questions that you'll never see in real life, he curves and gives extra credit on tests. I struggled at first and then started showing up to his office hours every week and from then on got 100% on each test. He truly cares and you will pass if you put in the time. Good luck.

Dr. Ramazan made us learn the epsilon delta definition of a limit, which is a 300-level math topic. I failed the first test (not suprising), and took the class during another semester where we learned the normal definition of a limit, versus whatever he was trying to do.

On my way to his class to take the final exam, I crashed my skateboard and broke it. When I arrived to his class late and explained what happened he graciously allowed me to take the final in his office the next day. He certainly knows his stuff and his assessments are of reasonable difficulty.

He is a great prof. He cares about you doing well & really communicates with the class about deadlines that work for us, extended time if we need it for assignments, & really makes you feel comfortable about asking questions bc he really wants you to understand & succeed. Study guides are very similar to tests & gives u a front & back cheat sheet.

Hw is a little hard, he does take the time to go over it in class if asked about. The tests are similar to practice problems, which is nice. He taught diff eq very well and understands that some of us dont have great math backgrounds. His tech skills aren't the best, but tries to have zoom up for us. Quizzes were online.

He's a great professor. He just wants his students to succeed. Always makes time for questions. He never purposefully makes quizzes or tests hard. He'll extend most due dates as well. The course itself does start to get really hard but if you keep showing up, you should be okay. He is not tech savvy, so if he does zoom it is hit or miss.

Professor Ramazan is probably the best you can do for Math 310. His lectures are awesome and informative. However, his tests are damn hard. He writes his questions in like a 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d.... format, so if you get 1a wrong your screwed. Luckily, he curved every test. Homework and quizzes will save you.

Overall a great professor for 310. Homeworks every week, but it felt doable. Exams were tough, and only a few main questions but w several nested questions for each. He made great study guides and allowed notes (other profs for 310 here don't "believe" in study guides). Only real complaint is he didn't use Canvas at all, so no idea what my grade is

Final replaces lowest exam score. Ramazan is one of the most caring and encouraging professors I've had. Exams are hard, so be sure to give yourself at least a week to prep and bring questions to office hours - he is extremely helpful in office hours. One thing I didn't like was how new material was introduced exclusively for tests sometimes.

He grades slightly tough, but you know exactly what is going to be on the exam so if you get a bad grade its kinda on you. Drops a few of the quizzes and some of them ended up being take-home quizzes. Decent amount of HW. Nice guy

He's the best Calc III professor in UNR. The assignments, quizzes, and tests correspond with what he says in class. He practically gives out the answers on the board, but you have to look and see. Don't pick anyone else unless you want daily quizzes or exams that don't follow what you did in class. If you pass on Ramazan, it's your choice.

No extra credit is offered, very strict with due dates, and semi-heavy workload! FYI - MyMathLab for this course NEEDS to be accessed on a laptop/computer, I got behind due to not knowing about this & the professor did take a while to get back to me. Besides that it was very smooth and I highly recommend to watch the videos on MyMathLab app.

Ramazan is a great guy. The material can be difficult to grasp but he makes it so much more sense. While the exams aren't technically easy, if you follow along during the lectures and do the homework, it should be light work. Take advantage of the sample tests he provides, they really help. My only complaint is that he writes really fast.
