I personally strongly disagree with taking this man's class. He is the worst instructor I have ever seen. Waste of time!!!

HORRIBLE TEACHER. I am not very good at math and I would always email him asking what I needed to do differently to do well on the test and he was not helpful at all. I also emailed him right before the final asking what my overall grade was and he told me to calculate it myself. So do not take him if you struggle with calc bc he will not help!!

This is one of the worst classes Ive taken at auburn. He does not work problems in class and just expects you to understand what he is saying and then is confused why half of the class is failing. I would never take this professor again

Nane was the only professor for online Cal 2 this summer. He has videos on canvas that are no help whatsoever. They are just him reciting the book. Homework and tests are on WebAssign and they are proctored. Classic example of the homework being easier than the test. If everyone in the class fails the test... you know who's to blame...

Just goes over slides and doesn't reach well. Gives hardest possible test questions

DO NOT take this class! even if it means waiting a semester! His lectures are literal recitations of the book, gives very little partial credit, his emails are cryptic and sassy. He does not belong in any inperson or online classroom. Most stressful class ever. The only reason I passed is because he recognizes his incompetence & has a crazy scale.

Doesnt teach us anything, absurdly difficult tests and I really dont think he cares if we fail.

He should not be allowed to teach. He doesn't now how. You will only learn from recitation. Homework questions are tough, but manageable. Exam questions require a PhD. Exam 1 was 50% higher than average because of cheaters. Exam 2 was on incredibly simple concepts. Had no issues with HW and tutored other students. Scored a 0. Class average was a 7.

worst professor I've ever had. He speeds through his lectures, which have turned into him just reading from a textbook. The tests are significantly harder than anything discussed in class or on the homework. The most recent test had a class average of 17% and he appeared to not care in the slightest. I would avoid his classes at all costs.

Last semester calc 2 got a huge curve. This year he curved 2 points. He said attendance would be worth something - it wasn't. I never missed class and had a 67. I needed a 68 for a C and he wouldn't give it to me. I had a 99 HW average and was tutoring students. His tests wrecked me. I now have to retake. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. This is self teaching.

Like others have said, this will be a difficult course. You need a good TA or a tutor to pass. You won't get anything from the lecture. Most of the class got a D or below and he only curved 2 points before submitting grades. After a respectful discussion, he increased the grading scale 12pts saving many. He does care, but he is also not the best.

This was probably the worst course that I have ever taken. I made an A, but the class was a trainwreck. If you are unfortunate enough to take this class, my advice is to skip the lectures. I stopped going after the first test, and my grade only improved. Memorize every hw problem, bs some work on tests for every problem, and there is a huge curve.

This is by far the worst teacher I've had in my life. I would give a 0 if I could. He doesn't actually teach anything and the notes are nothing like the homework. He claims that the tests are from the homework but that is just not true. Unless you understand everything perfectly you're screwed.

This professor is very hard to understand. He mumbles in the corner to himself and does not answer questions directly when you ask him. Tests are usually usually 6 or 8 questions which makes it very hard to do well if you miss one. Weekly web-assign quiz's due on Sundays, sometimes 4 at a time.

Professor Nane is difficult to understand in class. Most of the students in my class struggle. The final grade is curved and he has to curve every exam because so many people do so bad.

Mr Nane seems like a nice person but the way he runs this class makes me want to die. He teaches directly from a textbook that couldn't be worse if it tried, he's difficult to understand, and his homework is longer than the Bible. The only redeeming factor about him is that his tests aren't too hard and you can make a 40 overall and still have a D.

Just don't take him if you want to learn statistic properly. All he did was mumbling during the entire lecture. Lots of homework, like 10+ problems in the book on average per section. Exam difficulty is really inconsistent, and the homework is the only material you can use to study for it. Highly not recommended.

He seems like a really nice guy, but a terrible teacher. He mumbles and you can barely hear or understand him, even if you sit in the front. The way he explains things makes them seem way more difficult than they actually are. Do yourself a favor and take someone else

Erkan Nane does not need to be teaching. You can barely understand his lectures and when you ask him to explain something his typical response is "because it is the correct one" or "because the other is wrong". Attendance counts. Homework is next to impossible. I am a very strong math student (A in calculus) but am barely passing statistics.

I had Dr. Nane for STAT2510. He is a very sweet man, however, he is one of the worst math instructors I have ever had. I am a hard worker, and a strong math and science student, and a math science major. He does not need to be teaching.

Absolutely the worst "professor". It should be criminal to employ this man in academia. He doesn't care about students and he simply cannot teach. He seems genuine and kind, but he's a nightmare. The semester before mine he curved 40 points, the semester after mine he dropped the two lowest test grades, my semester - no curve, sub 20 class average.

I would give him a zero if I could. His handwriting is illegible. He stands in the corner where the podium is and mumbles. Makes you pay for iclicker for participation, but he doesn't factor those points into your grade for the class. Exams are split into 2 parts (concepts/Rstudio). His powerpoints do not help. Don't make the same mistake I did :')

Hard to understand, expects everyone to understand everything without explaining small details.

Worst professor I have had at Auburn. Just changed grading policy halfway through the semester. Has not uploaded any grades in two months. Can not read handwriting. Mumbles and has heavy accent. Is not willing to show details or explain problems. Will not answer questions fully. Barely explains anything and expects you to know coursework before.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! This is the WORST college professor i've ever had. He has the thickest accent and mumbles when he speaks. Test 1 & 2 are doable as you can teach yourself the material. Test 3 is a NIGHTMARE. I could go on and on about this class and teacher. Save yourself the tears and stress and your grade and just take someone else.

Erkan Nane is a terrible professor. I made an A but I taught myself everything, as he literally cannot teach. He is difficult to understand, he mumbles, and doesn't take the class seriously. He also does not really understand how to work canvas. I only went to class for the attendance.

If I could give a negative review I would. He is the worst teacher I have ever had. Did not learn a thing. Mumbles in a different language most of the time. I have no idea how he still is employed. Literally put a video for us to answer questions on once in a different language on the board. He is awful. Do not take this class.

Avoid at all costs if you have the unfortunate displeasure of taking his Diff eq class. What a waste of mine and everyone's time he mumbles and you cant understand a word he says. Almost completely in-consist on format for exams. If i could give less stars i would.

Worst professor I have ever had in my time at Auburn, he cannot speak clearly to save his life he doesn't teach well at all he mumbles through every lecture he has a thick accent and sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about. Do not take him.

The absolute worst professor I have EVER taken. Does not respond to emails very quickly and he is very hard to understand. Most of the time he mumbles through his lectures and talks very quietly on top of having a heavy accent. He had learning catalytics that he doesn't mention very often until the end saying he's grading them. DO NOT TAKE HIM

DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!! I am a pre-nursing major so I had to take STAT this semester and he was the only prof available. Test 1/2 were fine. if you study from the practice exams he puts on canvas you'll be fine. But test 3 actually awfu, dropped my grade 5 points. You can barely understand him. Won't even answer questions straight forward.

The best way to improve in this class and to make a good grade is to never take this professor. Tests 1 and 2 were simple, but after those two, the tests get progressively difficult, and the study guides are nothing like the tests.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! He is hard to understand and assumes students already know the material like its common sense. He doesn't know how to communicate the material with students. There's extra credit and you will need it. If you take him you NEED to get a tutor; only reason I made an A is because I got a tutor after failing test 1.

This class was not at all worth my time and effort. I reached out to him multiple times to schedule meetings as I felt I was falling behind and I was told I needed to just pay attention in lectures more. Speaking of lectures you can barely understand him due to a thick accent and speaking softly. His slides also make little to no since.

Erkan Nane taught Linear Diff Eq like he was solving for x in another dimension. Showed up, scribbled hieroglyphics, and left. I got a B but learned more from my microwave clock. ChatGPT was the real prof—Nane just cosplayed as one.

Avoid this class if you can. I learned more from ChatGPT than I did in all of his lectures combined. The teaching was confusing, unorganized, and often left me more lost than when I started. Save yourself the stress, take someone else if you want to actually understand the material.

Nane mumbled every single class. I could not understand what he was saying except for his rants about AI. He had very low test averages and then got upset, telling us that his lectures were enough for us to learn. I had a tutor, joined study groups, and read the textbook but even that wasn't enough because his test questions were so unpredictable.
