Online class consisted of solely textbook reading, discussion board posts, a group project and final exam. Not accessible, never willing to help a student. Responses to emails take days, if at all. The class was useless, really did not learn much at all. The class was organized though, you have to put in the work or you will fall behind.

Professor is helpful and quick to respond to emails even outside of school hours. His lectures are fairly entertaining imo, and he's a lenient grader and provides a ton of resources to learn the content. That said, this course is a TON of work compared to any course I have taken, even if the difficulty isn't that bad. Online textbook required :/

This is a precession class so be ready to study 2 chapters per day. Dr. Yildirim is a kind professor and he cares about the success of students. His lectures definitely help you to study the materials and he also has a review session to go over the study guide which is similar to the test.

Given that this was a 2 week precession course, the workload was not surprising. There were 14 total homework assignments, along with 3 exam study guides. Plenty of extra credit to make up for lost points. Exams and homework are graded pretty leniently, so as long as you understand the fundamentals and how to do the study guides, you should be fine

This was a wonderful class for only being 2 weeks. The instructor made it very clear from the beginning what you would need in terms of percentages for tests and homework to pass. There were plenty of homework assignments, but only 3 tests (Each 25% of the grade so study up). There was around ~10% worth of extra credit to help boost your grade.

The homework and the material isn't hard as the resources provided by the teacher can help you get through them. However, the grading structure is poorly skewed towards tests. You are given 3 tests. Each test is worth 25% of your grade and they are only 5 questions each. There are no test corrections. Good luck.
