Mr Ozcan does a good job at making a dry subject a little more interesting. The course doesn't flow well- but it's not his fault. There's so much information! The labs are def easier than Bio 2113/4. There's no lecture DVD like there was in Anatomy, which would make this class great for retaining for a future in the medical field.

Really great teacher. He has no choice but to go through the material fast to cover it all in the time period he has to cover it in but still takes the time a student needs in explaining the material.

I only have two issues with this instructor. 1) He sometimes seems a little condescending. It does not happen very often, but it stands out when it does. 2) His 45 min lab tutorials need pruning. The students have lab manuals and prelabs. I suppose it is better that an instructor teaches too much rather than very little and poorly at that.

Great professor but I don't recommend taking this in the summer. It worked for some but for me, it was tough. Exam every week and a half, and it just wasn't enough time to digest everything. With that being said, it would be helpful if professors can be more clear on what to study so that we avoid overstudying on things that are not on the exam.

He is kinda boring during lecture but he tells you exactly what you need to know. He is very honest and a pretty decent grader but you will have to study a lot to memorize everything. He is nice and honest which i appreciate unlike other LONG winded teachers what you see is what you get.

Mr. Ozcan is so great! He provides plenty of examples and makes sure you understand what is going on before he moves. He's always answering questions and will explain everything thoroughly. Also, he will only teach the stuff you need for this class so you don't have to worry about learning extra stuff for no reason. I really enjoy his lectures!

Took him for online course. Never seen him. He never turned camera on not even once during lecture. Full out PowerPoint presentation for the 4 months. I think the online thing was a bit out of his element. Idk. I didnt get the vibe that others mentioned in previous semesters that he has taught in person. Online AP is very hard. Wouldnt recommend.

Nothing easy about Anatomy & Physiology, I mean let's be real but what I can say that can helped me with this class is reading the material prior to lecture classes. If you have any questions, you can always email him. He cares for students and it helps if you meet him halfway by studying the material. Read material b4 class and study groups helped

Took Mr. Ozcan for Microbiology lecture and lab online. Was very nervous, but he was very helpful! He made lots of videos and supplied lots of extra links to information outside of his lectures. He taught directly from the lecture notes, and made sure you understood the material. Pay attention, show up, do the work. Mr. Ozcan was great!!

Took Mr. Ozcan for BIOL2117 lecture. He teaches from power points mostly and goes pretty much directly from the lecture notes which was very nice. He's a good teacher and makes lectures as enjoyable as they can be. Study the lecture notes and you should have no problem getting an A in this class. I would definitely take him again.

He is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and make the class material logical and fun by drawing pictures of hard topics. You have to ask for help if you need and he is always by your side. I am a science major student and he is one of the very few professors who made me to learn difficult topics by breaking it small portion in a fun amazing way.

Shows annoyance when you ask a question. Lectures online and otherwise don't always cover material that shows up on the tests. Spends most of the lecture rambling about details that won't be covered, while skipping through information that goes on tests.

Mr. Ozcan is one of the best professors at GTC. His classes are very informative yet simple. He makes sure you understand the concept & provides reviews before each test. He's very patient & kind. Quick to respond to emails. Grades fairly. He genuinely wants his students to succeed - you can figure that out from the way he explains the material.

This guy is awesome! He clearly has a lot of knowledge on the subjects he teaches and seems to really care about his students. He is comfortable to approach and has no problem answering any questions you may have. He lets you see your exams after he grades them, so you can see what you got wrong (that helps prepare you for the final).

He is a great professor! His lectures are simple, clear, and focused on what you really need to know. He offers extra points for attendance and is very understanding, especially if you are an ESL student. He takes his time to answer all questions and will allow you to review your test if you request it. Highly recommend .

Would give him 10 stars if I could! Lectures are extremely clear and organized. Teaches all material needed to succeed in class. Extremely easy to ask question to. Always open to help explaining or pointing out material 5 times if needed. Answers emails fast. Kind to students and other teachers. Voice is a little on the quiet side so sit in front.

Mr. Ozan is a good professor. I would recommend taking his classes if you have a chance. He truly cares for his students. He has his own videos for his classes, which helped me during the A&P 1 section. He is very knowledgeable and a great tutor, but he's very particular with his grading. So, you have to make him happy by doing the work.

Had him for microbio lab and lecture. He's a really chill dude and although theres an insane amount of material (especially for test 2 and 3), he makes sure to explain it in a way thats easy to understand and is always open to answering questions. If you're gonna take microbio at GTC, make sure its with Ozcan trust

He is by far the best professor at explaining the extensiveness of A&P.He teaches us what we need to know in a way that makes sense and isn't overwhelming.I don't see how anyone can have a problem with him.The material in this course is extensive for clinical reason.Takes hard work, constant studying outside of lecture w/o a professor at your side.

Honest Review: I took his course online and it wasn't pleasant. The 3-hour lectures are heavy, and he often seems irritated on test days or when students ask questions. He's knowledgeable but moody, and the tests are tough with many short responses. I recommend taking this class in person, not online.

Mr. Ozcan is honestly an amazing professor. I don't think I would've done as well in the class if I had a different professor for A&P I. His lectures are detailed and he draws everything out which, if you're a visual learner, is extremely helpful. Very responsive outside of class. Very fast grader. You'll have your grade 1-2 hours after the exam!

3 hr "Blended" = lectures online and tests in person. Professor Ozcan is clear, concise and consistent with his lectures. Take note of anything he writes down/draws/circles and you'll be golden for the tests. Drawing = retention. He won't overwhelm you with extra unnecessary details. He's direct, which is crucial for this course. Highly recommend.
