Professor Uyar is an amazing teacher. He knows his stuff about Business Statistics, which is a prerequisite for business majors. In other words, you have to take this class. Regardless of who you take this class with, it is NOT easy! Deal with it. If you're a business major this should be expected. You have to work for it. Uyar is the man.

I took business states with Professor Uyar. This course is very difficult for many people no matter what. Uyar does a good job explaining everything and gives you an entire self made note packet for the course. He is very overly picky about grading which has lost me many points and seems a little extreme to me. But overall I would take it with him.

Bulent loves teaching and loves the kids in his class. Show up to class and study and you will do just fine. He is very passionate and makes the content easy to understand. Best option for business statistics.

Business Stats is not an easy class, but Uyar definitely cares about the subject and the students and also makes sure you understand the level of effort you need to put in to be successful. The class is much better if you stay on top of the material and don't slack off at all.

Uyar is the best Business Statistics professor at UNI hands down. The class is easier than I expected, however, you still have to put forth effort outside of class and attend all lectures. There are free tutors that I took advantage of which helped me out.

Would definitely recommend Professor Uyar to anybody who needs to take Business Stats. He genuinely cares about his students and his students' success. He is not harsh if you ask dumb questions. He seeks to form relationships with students who participate in class. Great professor who knows his stuff and is passionate about the subject.

Professor Uyar was by far my favorite professor I had this past semester, I would highly recommend him to anyone taking Bus Stat. He is very smart and cares very much about his students learning. The homework is not graded but is worth doing. It wasn't an easy class but I enjoyed it very much.

Uyar is a smart guy and cares about the students. He's super approachable and just an overall nice guy. If your class isn't answering his questions or seems disinterested he will start to get upset, and he talks a lot. The class isn't easy but Uyar teaches you everything you need to know and the study guides help a lot. Show up and take good notes

Very difficult class. Builds immediately on your high school stats class (and then some). You're really going to have to put in a lot of work if you expect to pass with a decent grade. I ended up dropping the class, some of my friends ended up with "C"s and worse in it. Uyar is a nice guy but moves fast, so you need to be able to keep pace with him

Prof. Uyar has been one of my favorite professors so far. He relates the material to real life situations and makes it easy to follow. Grades are based on tests, quizzes, and homework assignments. I would definitely take another class with him.

Professor Uyar is a great guy. He cares about his students success and does his best to prepare you for the future. There is a lot of homework that is not for a grade that you have to do in order to get a good grade. Overall, best professor for the course.

Uyar takes awhile to warm up to. He is very straightforward and intimidating, but he is a great professor. DO THE STUDY GUIDES! The SG is hard, but it prepares you and makes the exam easy. Pay attention and contribute to the discussions. Don't be lazy and you will do just fine

Professor Uyar is extremely intimidating and can sometimes be quite rude because he tends to talk down to his students during lectures. He demands participation in his class. However, his grading is quite straightforward. DO THE STUDY GUIDES. They help immensely with the test.

If you skip class, you may struggle because it's a lot of material and the course itself is challenging. He does a great job of teaching and explaining. If you go over the notes, do the practice problems and review sheets, you should be prepared for the exams. He may seem tough in class, but he just really cares about the subject & student success

He was my favorite professor. He cares about his students and the material. He made an effort to learn names even in our class of over 100 students. Breaks down topics to make them easier to understand. Enjoys participation and will occasionally give extra points for it. Course packet makes taking notes easy if you're not a very organized person.

He is probably one of my favorite profs at uni. He is really good at explaining topics and breaking them down. He is very good when you ask for help but won't go out of his way to help you. He loves when people participate too and will sometimes hand out extra points just for participating (or if you correct him! when he's wrong)
