Professor Fadime is an excellent person and understanding. she is a fair grader because she takes into consideration the performance level on your class assignments and exams. If you work hard you will receive what you deserve. She was very good and cares about the success of her students. she can relate to us because she is also a PhD student.
Excellent, highly recommend. Ignore all negative ratings from student's whom refuse to do the required work for the class. She is an great instructor and curves the grade at the end no next grade level.
She is the most sweetest professor in baruch. She will help you outside of class no problem and give plenty of opportunities to bump grade higher. She is the best financial professor in Baruch. I wish she can teach the rest of my finance classes left. Very good at teaching the class I will be taking her again next semester. Must take professor !!!
I learned more in a short term summer class more than in a regular semester. Payed attention in class and received a good grade. Would take this professor again. She is very caring about her students and gives extra time to hel you learn
She gives very fair chances to get a great grade. Gave some extra credit to help boost the grade. She is super funny and will respond to you email within a day. Her classes are interesting not the one that puts you to sleep. Do the homework it helps a lot plus its a great part of the grade.
This class has kind of been my nightmare all semester.
I support Prof. Demiralp. I was in her class in Spring and recommended her to my friends for this semester. she is an amazing person and energetic teacher. Baruch should hire her if they care about quality of education. That is great that curses and lies written here to hurt her is under investigation.
Her personality and effort to help us was inspiring. She became my role model. Fair grader. I support her and wish the people who have tried to hurt her here will be caught soon. I know that there is an investigation going on.
I wish I took this professor the first time I took this class. My previous professor had doubled the work and just read off the slides (basically teach yourself). Not only did I get a great grade in this class I also learned way more then I thought I would. Great class to take with her dont think twice!!
Agreed Slow.
If you want to learn and get a great grade this is it! she is super with teaching a very hard course. To bad she was not teaching other finance classes she is a real gem!!
Prof. Demiralp gives many many chances for her students to do well in the course. She tries her best to teach in a way that anyone can understand and really wants her students to do well. She gave extra points here and there on exams & also made it so that part of the midterms will be take home. Learned a lot as well. Def take if you can.
Review the slides and practice the homework questions and you'll do fine. 2 midterms, one is divided into an in class exam and an excel project, and final. Gives extra credit opportunities for all students. Her explanations kinda suck, but because of her personality shes easier to deal with than other professors. Class is made to be hard, so study.
She's very sweet which is about the biggest positive. Class is suppose to be hard, she does her best to make it as painless as possible, but its not easy. Expect lots of self studying, reviewing the homework is your path to a good grade. Her explanations do suck, but then again most of the professors in this school don't do much better.
Straightforward exams. One midterm, second midterm is half take home excel project. Final is 20 MC. If you are good at stats you'll do fine. Attendance taken every class.
20% of each Midterm1, Midterm2 and 40% of final exam. Read the slide and doing HW, you can pass this class. she gave some extra credit, but not enough. NO curve! ! !
2 midterms which was 20%each with one project and final was 40% hw was 20%. The Prof gave some extra credits, but it was not helpful. 4000 is a very hard class, and she suck at explaining. Get yourself ready for self studying.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!
As far as ECO 4000 professors go, she's of the better ones by far. ECO 4000 is hard in general, but she keeps it pretty fair in this class. MyEconLab helped the most for preparing for exams. Gives extra credit occasionally (2-4 points). Overall, everything she taught us was on the exams, so I can't complain. You have to put in effort to do good.
Her style of teaching is quite unique at Baruch! I loved she had her own slides and had interactive class. Project assignments helped me to improve my grade and to really understand why I need learning econometrics and to learn how to find real world useful data. Must take prof! Also very caring and kind!!!
Extremely hard class but she made it feel easier for sure. Shouldnt delay studying for this one. Data projects were awesomely prepared, after them it made more sense what/why we learned all and it was fun. She provided enough material for exam prep. exams were fair and graded fairly. I wish my other profs cared about our courses as she did!!!
Avoid at all costs. Not helpful at all, seems like she's an easy grader and makes it an easy class but defintely isnt!! My GPA went down cause of this class
My friends took class with her and I waited for her name to be listed under this course again last semester. It was worthy. She should teach more courses at Baruch. Period.
First time at Baruch, I really enjoyed a class. Class activities were fun and I learned a lot at the same time. It was cool she taught how to take advantage on yahoo finance and WSJ websites. Textbook definitions and formulas made more sense after seeing how to actually apply using real world data and stuff. Fair exams. Well organized lectures.
Not boring PPT explanation instead she gives handouts in each class, full of exercises and activities a extremely helpful method to practice and pass the class with a good grade. Extra credit. Exams are based on these handout exercises and homework no more than that. if you practice those exercises you will be good.
Night of the final exam got score and letter grade. She is fast. Two pop up class presentations in groups earned extra credits for exams. She positively gave us tips for improvement, no making us feeling bad or something at the stage. was great to have handouts she distributed each class. Obviously she knows her stuff and how to teach.
she is really good professor, Fin 3610 is a difficult class, but she tried the best make it easy. if you want to get A , work hard and take her class
wouldn't take this mad woman again. Lectures suck and test format is garbage, the lectures were unstructured and unorganized. This was a very unfortunate intro to economics for me. Avoid this professor at all costs. like to bring student down instead helping them, the worst of worst. terrible!
She is an amazing professor. Gave out a sheet for each chapter with all the formulas & exercises and went through them . Those problems on the worksheets were all the problems on the test. always looking to help students so there's lots of extra credit! Highly recommend her.
don't even take her class. you will regret for choosing this class. change section. She is not clear in explaining. Lecture is a mess. and i don't like how she talks with a little disrespect. She says shes the best organizer and smartest one, always blow her own horn, We dislike she talks big and does nothing. Low quality class!
She is a caring -great prof. No reading from slides but doing every single question on the board with clear recalls and explanations. Super organized. Communicates with students in a respectful way. Very understanding and approachable. Class handouts and homework questions well guide you for exams. Recommend her.
Absolutely one of the best prof in all ways. It was cool she made up questions using todays market data and instruments while doing chapters in class in addition to outdated textbook questions but exams were fairly similar to textbook&homework problems as expected. No unpleasant surprises but up-to-date learning in this field.
Prof. Demiralp was really dedicated and knowledgable and she was fancy about giving us extra credits for both of midterm and final. She made lecture in an easy-understanding way and also not trick us on exams. The exam questions are very similar to homework. Once you participate and do your homework, A is not a problem!
Gives you chances to re-submit connect assignments at the end of the semester to boost your grades. Exams are similar to connect questions and the worksheets she gives out in class. A little grumpy and strict picture-taking policy but not the worst professor.
She lectures in a way that feels like shes tutoring you so you leave her classroom with little doubt about the subject matter. She explains why the solution is correct and why other answers are wrong which fosters learning. Gives extra credit through the semester including for final. M135 F45 Connect 20 plus extra credit! Shes a gem. No regrets.
We had few study groups but be honest , no one liked her. She doesnt know how to teach at all, she gave extra credit but it didnt help much. lectures are worthless and the way she teach you wont understand anything .she's a horrible professor. Take it with someone else if you can. This job isnt good for her and students at all
CLASS IS IMPOSSIBLE. Never been so confused in my life. This was the only class I've ever been worried about failing, and I'm a 3.8student. Her style is terrible and doesn't teach us anything. I found myself lost in every class. Definite NO-NO. The class itself is tough so its very difficult trying to teach yourself the class. I
Took her online course, during COVID, over the summer and she is one of the most accommodating professors I've had. She uploaded lectures to youtube in sections that made everything simple to grasp. Was always accessible outside class and listened to students' concerns.
Don't take her, Ive never met a bad instructor like her! Doesnt know her job at all! Not much explanation and what is on the test, and no study guide online. Some people are smart and have a lot of knowledge of a subject, but conveying that knowledge is something She doesn't know how to do. Avoid her like cv19!
Luv covid. Can hide my face from world. No stressful commute more money, more time. Less time away from negative people. Out of all the professors, I have ever taken in Baruch, Professor Demiralp is my favorite. Her vids were so sweet & helpful. She is flexible, fast, & caring. Study! She wants u 2 Ace it. Watchout 4 group mem. who don't give a #
She is an amazing professor. she gave us a lot of extra credit points. It is an online class and of course, is not easy. You have to learn a little bit by yourself even though her youtube lectures were really helpful. The final was worth 40% and it was hard, but at least we didn't have a lot of questions! I'd love to take her again.
She doesn't teach the material right.. She's hard to keep up with. I have to find extra help and I didn't learn nothing with her. Lectures are long and rambling. Many hours of lectures make it difficult to find the information you need. When you reach out for help you are referred back to the lectures that weren't helpful in the first place.
Never again. Hardest class ever. Hands down the worst class I take. Probably the worst professor I have studied under. Other discrepancies between lecture/section make this an infuriating experience. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS.
She has a unique way of teaching. Really amazing videos she has produced. Reasonable course workload. She has contacted me couple times so far about my class performance and offered help with homework. That is not something you normally expect at Baruch in a super large class. She is a caring person and prof. Highly recommended.
Its a privilege to be in her class. She made me feel I was at a private college given how she has been monitoring my homework and exam scores, and contacting me accordingly with full support. Super understanding and supportive prof. My fav. Her YouTube videos deserve all the credits. I am taking fin3610 with another prof but watching her videos!!
Wow she is a super duper understanding caring hard working smart professor and absolutely fair grader. easy to talk with, you know she will not judge you or punish or whatever. her youtube videos are amazingly good quality productions. just wow.
Professor Demiralp is probably the best professor I ever had at Baruch. She's very kind to her students and responds quickly to her emails. The class itself can get difficult but don't worry, she'll post videos on her YouTube channel which are really helpful. If you did well in STA 2000, the class shouldn't be a problem for you. She's one of a kind
Shes being dramatic in the whole semester, I didn't take the advice seriously when people told me shes worst prof in baruch. Doesnt always translate to being a good professor,hard grader, lack of interest teaching, Her videos were dry and boring since she doesn't make class interesting at all. Dont take her class!
Extra credit quizzes were helpful to get ready for the second midterm, I wish she offered such for the first one as well. The textbooks language was heavy. Without her videos I couldnt get much out of it for sure. Video lengths were just perfect! I took her since my best friend recommended. Hard to find seat. Be aware the fake bad comments here
Second time taking. It was nice to have short videos to watch at my convenience. I work at a hospital. She was able to meet me at zoom for my questions on a Sunday because of my busy working schedule. This time amount of the homework was also reasonable. I feel learned a lot with her and it was less stressful given how understanding she was.
She is a super caring professor. Midsemester she decided to change our 3 hour lecture into 15 minutes of YouTube videos. YouTube videos were a disgrace- very robotic sounding and not interesting / too difficult. I wouldn't take her again because to simply put, I didnt learn much. But she's caring and for a hard class like this it makes a difference
Her lecture videos and her generous zoom meeting offers saved my gpa. We were offered to schedule zoom meetings whenever we needed. She was flexible about the scheduling, weekday or weekend. Zoom meetings were very helpful. I still dont get how she managed email conversation with all of us on how we are doing in our mega large class :))
I was recommended to take this class with her. I am happy I took this advice. The course was asynchronous and her Youtube lecture videos exactly what I needed. Course workload and exams were fair. She impressively contacted me couple times during the semester to check on with me. She is definitely the most understandable and caring prof I ever had.
Highly recommend her. She had high quality lecture videos on Youtube and offered live zoom meetings at my convenience for my questions! Exams were fair. There were extra credit quizzes made me to stay on track and get ready for the exams in advance. Well organized course. Prompt email responses. Just started watching her FIN3610 lecture videos:)
Was lucky to find a seat. The class was asynchronous. I loved her lectures on Youtube. She was amazingly and promptly responsive. She responded in couple minutes to one of my urgent emails. She included an instant zoom meeting invitation if I preferred a live discussion immediately. Such a dedicated and understanding prof. Knowledgeable. Must take.
She has been one of my favs so far. Very knowledgeable and skilled for teaching. Not reading from slides:) Providing class notes to be filled during class. She is understandable and so caring. Fair grader. Her Youtube videos are plus!
She's the nicest professor I ever had in my college career. Sometimes it's difficult to understand her since she's so passionate about the subject. Overall, it's a difficult stat based class regardless of the prof you take.
This class is already difficult, but this professor doesn't help. First her lecture notes and problems don't help, so half the class stopped showing up. She makes her own problems for the second exam and Final. She does not provide a review sheet for her exams or Final (just said all the chapters but 1). Don't trust these reviews and self-study.
The most patient, caring and nice prof ever. She requested our anonymous feedback after the first midterm, and she really responded mine in upcoming weeks. Without the extra credit assignments, I could not get A-. I appreciate her teaching style. She got back to my email in half an hour although I had received the automated reply first.
She is cool. Knows her stuff. She collected attendance data after first exam and said she will use it in regression for analysis. This regression was on the final as a question :) There was no surprise question on exams, maybe because I attended each class. Approachable. Fair. Must take if you want good grade and learn at the same time.
Demiralp offered no curve in one of the hardest and most curved classes at Baruch. My entire college career is ruined due to tough grading. Do not recommend. Prof is leaving fake reviews here. Please please don't take her :(
Professor Demiralp was terrible this semester. Usually there is a curve for the final grade which nobody received. She failed half of the class then went on here to make fake reviews about her class. I RECOMMEND HIGHLY TO STAY AWAY.
The class was not easy at all but its doable if you pay attention. Final was worth 45%. All exams were online. Extra credit is offered as well. The homework was similar to alot of exam questions. If you focus on the homework and do all your extra credit you should be okay.
Lectures are bad because people talk over her low voice and it sounds like she is talking to herself. Her documents are helpful and are more useful than her actual lectures. She focused on topics during her lectures that weren't relevant to the actual exams. HW was a lot and a lot of it wasn't useful for exams. She doesn't curve. She's kind tho.
Please try to avoid. This class felt like the epitome of stress for me. Lectures were weird and I hated the format of them. Exams were super tough. Only good thing is that she will drop your lowest exam score and make your final count as two exam grades. All I can say is. If you choose this professor, I wish you the best of luck
She's nice and tried her best, but her lectures were difficult to understand, and the content was very confusing. Also, she was never clear on what would be on the exams, and the only way to learn was through Connect. Yet, Excel-related Connect work did not apply since we can't use it on exams (which were ok). The textbook wasn't useful at all.
run far far away. cannot control a classroom, cannot speak up, and cannot teach
The Worst Of The Worst. Doesn't know what she's teaching, never told the class what needed to focus on for her exams, also she is extremely rude. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. RUN AWAY TO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME.
She had no curve in one of the hardest and most curved classes in Baruch and makes fake reviews here. Extract credit saved some people. The exams and lectures were extremely heavy, the exams weren't related to the book, but Connect was. She never pointed out the review for us to prepare the exams. I wouldn't recommend anyone to take her class.
Professor is kind and really trying to teach you about Economics, will not regret after taking her. She is always looking back into student's feedbacks to improve her teachings, making things simple for students to understand.
Always very extra with whatever she does. Makes everything overly complicated for no reason.
Her class was amazing, you shouldn't rely on a curve because she made sure to put on exams what was already studied and she mentioned in class what was important. As long as you paid attention and did your homework, that was your study material and you can do pretty good. She is very caring and willing to listen.
ECO4000 is difficult but she makes it 10 times easier. The class average final letter grade was A-. It explain everything. Take her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just take her! She is the best ECO 4000 professor. She is always asking for feedback on how to improve her lectures!!
She writes all the good comments here. Guys don't get confused by them, look the real ones, and we all know she is hopeless. Ask anyone who took her class. This professor is well known of being catty.
Understand why a lot of students didn't like her because this is one of toughest classes, the lecture is weird. She made her own exams which made the exams Harder. Shes moody will call you out. If you are taking her class, prepare to study on your own, read the book and find the tutor. Extra credits saved me, but I wouldn't recommend at all.
Skip this professor at all costs!!! She doesn't know how to teach and will make you confuse. If you are a Self-discipline learner, you can take this professor. You need to study by yourself. There are not enough words to express how terrible this Professor is. Do not take any course she teaches. Shes fake nice and cannot teach
She's nice ask she always asks for feedback on how she can do better. Her lectures are boring however if you study her homework then you will be fine. It's a hard class however if you put in the work you will pass her class i was scared reading these comments but she wasn't bad.
Avoid at all costs. GPA kller. I wish i never took this prof. Terrible lectures, very boring and repetitive, she's the only person knows what she's talking about, and the final was almost nothing related to the book.
I love economics but I hated this class. Unfortunately, all the negatives are true. Any learning will have to be on your own because this class is unorganized. Very disappointing class with her. If you want to learn economics, don't take her. Super upset over taking her class, learned 0!
Professor is great! Her lecture classes and her homework is helpful for preparing the exams! Exams are based on the things that discussed during class and homework, I didn't read the textbook. She will try to explain the things that we have question with. No group project.
She gives many opportunities to get your grade up. Pearson is used for homework, which lets you retake incorrect questions until you get 100%. In-class quizzes are based on work done in class and answers are given before submission. Midterms & Final are closed book but questions come from HW & she goes over them before exams. Lowest exam dropped.
Half of the class seemed to confuse.she came cross as acting superior. That lady often became moody and upset if students struggled with similar questions. Her poor teaching skills made the class dry. The only positive aspect was that she dropped the lowest grade, which barely allowed me to pass the class. I wouldn't recommend anyone take her class
Had a very negative experience. Her teaching style was unclear and students struggled to understand the material.often disorganized, and the lectures felt unfocused. Her approach came across as insincere. Among students, she is considered one of the top ‘do not take'. It extremely difficult to follow the course, wouldn't recommend taking her class
Sweetest and best professor at Baruch tbh, pay attention in class and you will definitely do good. 100% a tough subject and will need to study a bit but the test are relatively easy if you know the material. Only flunked the 2nd mid term (70ish%) and still got an A!
This is a very hard class. YOu have to pay attention to the lectures otherwise you'll fall behind and it is not easy to catch up last minute. The professor is good, she tries her best to explain everything in a way that we can understand it but there will be lots of homework/quizzes, but she gives very similar examples, even on the exams.
I took her class last semester, it was a tough class tbh, I got b+ but I was there in class everyday, taking 10+ small quizzes, she gives the answer at the end of the class so you must be there. 2 midterms, one drops. (Try to do well in the first one, since second one covers all chapters). Final project no final. STUDY!
Had this professor for Eco 4000 this semester. She's a gpa killer and she rage baits . Writes her own reviews so don't believe her . WDrops ur midterm 1 grade if midterm 2 grade is higher (which is almost impossible to do bc it's way too hard). Boring classes, extremely difficult final project. Also gets very defensive and doesn't curve at all.
I think the professor should consider to step down as professor and understand the harm she causes to students education. All negative reviews here a true and you will find out if you take the class.
Run! She is the worst
She writes her own good reviews. She is the worst !
READ. this subject is hard we all know this and her teaching isn't any help. forget your gpa if you take her out of the 28 proffessors I've taken, she's by far the worst im sad to say
She is kind and approachable, but the course requires extensive self-teaching. Lectures often go off topic, exam reviews are limited, and exams are challenging. A busy schedule is frequently mentioned, which can impact how thoroughly the material is taught.
