Enjoyed most of the projects that were assigned, and they were thought provoking but I could usually finish them in one class period. Also make sure that sources are cited and that when it doesn't say group project, you need to do it entirely on your own.

Comp Sci basics can be dry and boring, but Murat's personality kept things lively and I was finding myself engaged easily.

Murat is one of the nicest teachers I've had at this college, despite it being only my first year! Murat's classes are usually long lectures with some time to either get started or finish the homework. His classes are also fast-paced as we continue a new topic each week. Don't be afraid to reach out to him for help when you're in a stump!

Murat is a staple of the Computer Science department at Champlain. I've taken a few classes with him, and he is consistently knowledgeable, thorough, and cares a lot about his students. He is easygoing, lighthearted, and will always help if you reach out to him. Each class typically consists of half lecture, half labs.

He is a very good teacher. He made this subject easy to understand when my last teacher couldn't. The only real issue is that he's not great at explaining when giving me assistance, and often gets sidetracked finding other problems in my code, rather than the parts that I'm worried about. However, that's a nitpick. He's a great professor.
