super clear teacher :)

Very easy going prof. The class may not be so interesting for the content part but he definitely gives out very much information. He teaches pretty clearly and does a lot of examples in class. Tests should be okay if you understand in class. If extra help is needed, he is very helpful.

He is a great guy, always there for help. Easy grader. The class is very mellow, if you've taken Precalc this should be pretty easy. WE LOVE KANN

Professor Ataman is tight.

Pretty cool teacher. Just don't take the morning class! I totally deserved an F or D but he gave me a C-. Tight mofo.

Really great teacher. Helps you a lot and is very funny. Doesn't make you memorize equations and gives them for the quizzes and tests.

Extremely clear in lectures, textbook only needed to do homework, really, or for extra practice. Is available for extra help to anyone who needs it, and usually hosts a good review session(one was outside of class, two in class) before tests. Only thing: tests/quizzes are not many questions(usually 6-8), so make sure you really know your stuff!

Ataman is a very good teacher, very hands on and feeds the answers to the students. If you need a gpa booster or need to take this class take this with Kaan Ataman, he is a great teacher and is super easy.

Professor Ataman make this class a lot easier than it can be and he does a great job of explaining the subject matter. I took the early class and he did a great job of trying to wake us up instead of rushing into the material.

Kaan's a cool guy and he's really good at explaining things clearly. He also shows you early on how he knows there are more important things than math. Good guy. Just keep up and make sure to clear things up if you get confused on any material. Make sure you try to show up on quiz dates.

Really fabulous professor - he's very patient and extremely nice. Makes the material really easy to understand. Tests are short and clear - there aren't any trick questions. You just have to make sure you pay attention to the concepts. Book is used for homework, review sessions are very useful. Charismatic person, too!

I would definitely reccomend him. He was very clear and gave more than enough examples. The quizes and tests were only on material he covered. Just do the homework and look over the quizes and the tests are no big deal. Great teacher. Try to get him if you can!

Great math professor! He explains everything very well in class so you understand the material. Take this class with him if you need a math class.

Lectures are a little boring, but he seriously covers everything that will be on midterms, quizzes, and exams. He's really considerate and will occasionally crack a joke or two. Attendance isn't mandatory, although since he covers everything in lectures, I would recommend just going to class. You won't regret taking him.

If you struggle in Math, don't expect this to be any different, but if Math is your thing, this class is going to be a breeze. He goes over absolutely everything in class that you need to know, so I suggest you go everyday!! If you go to class you will be fine!!

Best math teacher I have ever had. He's funny and has a great attitude

Hes really great and extremely helpful during office hours! dont take any other professor for this course!!!

Lectures can be boring, but it's not him, it's the subject matter...he has a good sense of humor and cares about the students.

he is a great teacher. unlike other math teachers at chapman he speaks english. show up to class and you'll do fine.

Great teacher! His lessons are very dense but he does a great job teaching concepts all the way through. Just make sure you come to every class and do the practice problems and you should have a problem acing the tests!

GREAT!!! He is always willing to provide extra help, and answer questions. He makes the class really easy, as long as you just study his powerpoints for exams and do the (few) assignments on time. Even though the class is relatively boring, you will not regret taking him for info systems!

He is a great professor and I highly recommend him for MGSC 208! Textbook really isnt necessary unless you want extra practice but most of class he goes over problems very similar to the ones on the quizzes/tests. If you take notes during class and review them an A is reasonably attainable.

What a helpful, sweet, funny, cool guy. His lectures are extremely clear and to the point. Makes hard material easier. is ALWAYS willing to help in office hours. Wants to challenge students (which he does) but wants his students to succeed. I would most definitely recommend him, and the amount of work you put into the course shows in your grade!

Very straight forward. Always ask questions if needed. I did all the problem sets and did extremely well on all exams.

Math analysis starts with logs and more simple algebra/stat probs, but by the end of the course you are solving calculus derivaties, etc. which is rough if you haven't taken calculus before. His accent can kind of throw you at times. No hw. Midterm/final are much harder than his quizzes though. Class isn't mandatory, office hours are flexible.

Prof. Ataman is super nice, has a really cool accent, and is crystal clear in his lectures. The tests are open book, so that's helpful, but they're still EXTREMELY HARD.

Ataman is awesome! The people that think he is a boring professor don't engage. If you talk to him before or after class or come into office hours, you'll realize he's a super nice and funny guy. Tests are kinda hard, but if you do the practice problems and pay attention in class you're fine

Analytics seems like it could be a bore but I really enjoyed it. Everything we learned felt very practical and I'm sure I'll use the Excel skills I learned in the real world. Ataman was my ideal professor: very intelligent, clear when explaining concepts, hands-on, a sense of humor that is hard to describe but I found him hilarious. Would recommend

Not that hard of a class if you do the practice problems over and over again and actually try. But it is definitely not an easy A

Great Professor! Reading the book isn't necessary but doing the practice problems, at least before quizzes and test, are really helpful. HW isn't due but it's worth doing. He does a really good job at applying the information to the real-world. Test aren't difficult but there's a lot of room for mistakes & you have to move fast.

He is such a nice and funny guy! This class is definitely not easy and he knows that. He tries his best to help whenever you need it. The quizzes and tests are pretty difficult, but if you do the practice problems and go to his office hours, you should be good to go.

He teaches a boring and hard class and he knows that. he knows we all don't want to be there but he makes everything clear, no trick questions, he's there for office hours, or even random times to help if you ask. use those office hours, ask questions, and do the practice problems

Be sure to practice solving the homework problems he assigns even though they are optional but they really help with the quizzes and tests.

Kaan is an amazing professor! He is very clear from the beginning and sets the expectations early. The syllabus provides a clear schedule for the semester and he sticks to it. If you need extra help, he is super helpful during his office hours and is understanding that life happens. His lectures are clear and to the point! I would take him again!

A very good professor, he is realistic and reasonable. You will have quizzes leading up to exams, which are actually helpful when preparing for exams. The first exam isn't too bad, but the second exam is tough which he warns you about. The best study tool are the practice problems and quizzes. If you put in the effort you will get a good grade.

Professor Ataman is definitely the best option for mgsc207. Walks through everything on Excel with the class and is very clear. Good at explaining new concepts

Great professor for MGSC-207. He walks the class through everything on Excel at a pace they can follow at, even though you can tell he's an expert at it. Grade is entirely quizzes and tests, but they aren't too bad if you follow along in his lectures.

Ataman is such a great professor. He goes above and beyond to meet with his students to ensure their success. It does take hard work and dedication, but if you're willing to put in the work so is he. One of the best professors I've had at chapman so far. No homework!!! A few quizzes and 2 tests but all are very fair if you pay attention in class.

Kaan is the sweetest guy ever. He is not only a wonderful professor but also a stellar individual that truly cares about his students. Strongly recommend going to office hours and getting to know him. Take him to lunch you wont regret it. TAKE KAAN ITS WORTH IT

I had my doubts taking his class, however, my other option was worst. But everything I had heard was wrong. great prof. No hw. just lectures, 3 midterms,& a final. A lot of people complain& say the class is hard. These are literally the lazy kids who refuse to take 5 min to review. It was all easy until the last 2 lectures. overall, easiest class

He's a very kind and caring guy. Take this class if you have a good knowledge or background with excel.

By far one of my favorite professors at Chapman. Your grade is based on 3 tests and 6 quizzes(drops one) but as long as you go to class and do the review problems for each chapter you will be fine. His lectures are great and he is overall and chill guy. Take this class if you can!

Great professor! If you ever have any questions he is always available for office hours. I regret not doing the homework for practice. I would have gotten an A if I had. So do the homework and if you get confused go to his office hours before the quiz or test. Also helps to know excel a little before you take the class.

He's such a chill professor that truly wants you to succeed. He's always open to help students and will make sure you get it. He says to get the textbook but I did fine without one. Just pay attn in class. Also, this class will definitely put you in front of other applicants when it comes to getting a job so TRY. Take this class with Prof Ataman!

Caring and knowledgeable teacher, exams are clear and reasonable if you study and do practice problems, grading is generous. 2 midterms & 1 final 100 pts each, 5 quizzes (take 6, drop lowest) 10 pts each. No homework, DON'T NEED TEXTBOOK. Assigns practice problems and posts answer keys, all you need are the questions available free on Chegg Study.

He is a very personable teacher who explains concepts very clearly, but is always happy to stop for a moment to help a student who missed something. The test questions are exactly what one would expect from his lectures, and he provide plenty of practice problems to help students prepare. He makes learning a comfortable and fun experience.

Professor Ataman is such a genuinely good guy. He really cares about everyone and is always there to help. Just stay with him when he does the lesson and practice problems and you will be fine. Make sure you go to class because you will fall behind quickly if you miss even one class.

Kaan is a great guy. Yes class is difficult, but this is a business course designed to teach you how to use Excel competently. You have to put in a lot of effort to learn the material but he is very accessible to his students so the only way that you can do bad in this course is not asking for help. I agree that he could give more review for tests.

He is the best MGSC220 instructor you could ask for. Grading is only on 6 quizzes (lowest score is dropped) and non-cumulative tests, both are which are based on nonmandatory homework problems, the solutions to which he also gives out. Class was online which was not ideal, but he has modified the course to operate well online. Take him

He gave great lectures over zoom and made sure the material was understandable. He kept it simple only using excel, and always went slow to ensure we could ask questions and understand the curriculum. Quizzes and tests were straightforward and easy enough if you do the practice problems. No homework otherwise

Professor Ataman is clear, to the point, and if you pay attention in class you can easily get an A. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions, he's extremely helpful and you'll be grateful you did when the test comes around! I would really recommend taking him, especially with what I've heard about the other 220 professors at Chapman.

Professor Ataman gives the right resources needed to succeed in his class. His lectures are straight-forward and everything taught matches the test well. I didn't know much about excel prior to this class, and I didn't find this class difficult. The only tip I would give is to go to every class. If you miss one class, you will quickly fall behind.

For a class as hard as business analytics, professor Ataman is the way to go. He was always accessible via email and ready to help at the drop of a hat. His lectures are clear and insightful, way easier than the pre-req 209 in my opinion. He is a professor that has experience in the industry and knows what he's teaching. Take Professor Ataman!

I was a little scared by the reviews initially but Kaan was a great choice. I had no Excel knowledge prior to the class so it was hard at first. If you put in the work by paying attention in class and doing examples on the homework you will be fine. Don't miss class, and do the practice problems from the textbook. The guy knows his stuff lol

Professor Ataman was a saving grace for me. I was taking 6 classes and was extremely stressed. Ataman was extremely understanding. he set up private appointments with me and went over the work and questions. the class isn't easy, but if you put in the effort and go talk to him, he truly does his best to help his students out to succeed.

Kaan is extremely knowledgeable and ALWAYS willing to help! The material can be tricky and requires lots of outside practice, but that is just the nature of the class. Kaan makes sure that everybody feels okay with the material before moving on. Very nice and funny guy. Make sure to go over all practice problems, especially the complex ones.

wonderful teacher and super helpful whenever you need him. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will be super behind if you skip a lot. The material itself is tricky, but going to class and paying attention will guarantee you an A if you just focus. Anyone can learn the material if he is teaching and you are trying your best.

This class can be tricky if you''re not fully focused during lectures and you don't practice enough outside of class. Typically for exams you should have enough time but for quizzes you only get half of class time so you really want to know what you're doing. 3 exams and 5 quizzes make up your grade so you need to put in serious work to do well.

Not sure that i agree with the negative reviews... He genuinely is one of the better professors that i have had at chapman, and he really truly does care about you as a student. there was an issue with my grade (which he had messed up on) and had fixed the issue almost instantly when i brought it up with him. do the work, and you will pass.not hard

You need to come to class! If you skip, you will be lost and fail! His lectures are very fast, and you need to be focused on the full class. If you focus, the quizzes will come to you super easily, and will get an A easily. If you do not focus, it will be very challenging and tedious.

The material is difficult on its own but he gives enough practice material and optional textbook reading to do as well. Make sure to read the textbook before class. Even though attendance is optional, you should definitely go to class because it is hard to understand the material from the textbook solely.

I am so lucky to have taken this course from Prof. Ataman. he made the course challenging but enjoyable. I was impressed with his ability to simplify complex content and make it relatible. I definitely would recommend this professor to anyone. Subject matter is heavy but I feel that I learned a lot.

Professor Ataman is a great guy and I really enjoyed his class. Despite how mundane you think the class will be, he actually makes it interesting. The material isn't easy, but all tests are open note. Attendance is not mandatory, but you will definetly fall behind if you don't show up. Take his class, take clear notes, and show up.

Put in the work, and you will do great. I went into this class knowing zero excel, just show up to EVERY class, pay attention, and take notes on everything. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS. Kaan is a great professor, but it is a lot of material, and you'll have to practice outside of class. He is the best option for this class!

Ataman was great and so willing to help! He curved quizzes and even ended up dropping our lowest quiz score after the final. Pay attention in class and do the optional practice problems. As long as you put in the work, you'll do fine. Graded on 4 excel quizzes, a midterm, and final all open note. Quizzes are fast though so you need to be confident.

Great professor, walks you through all the problems during class, and gives you a chance to try the problems first. Your grade is just quizzes and tests. But the quizzes are just what you do in class, and the tests are basically the previous quizzes.

He is an AMAZING professor! This was one of the few classes that I looked forward to attending this semester. He threw no curveballs at you during tests or quizzes. Every question that is on the tests and quizzes, you have done a question just like it before in class. I recommend attending class b/c if not, you will miss a lot of info.

I went to 90% of classes and paid attention, only needed to study the day before tests and quizzes. If you engage yourself, it is not too hard, but if you don't show up/pay attention, it's very hard to catch up.
