class average on first test was 17%, NO CURVE. All but one failed

bitter old man who thinks he's better than the textbook author

Takes forever to grade exams. Expects you to know everything he says. BAD prof

No partial credit. Miss one thing on a proof, get a 0

Only those who are idiots give this guy high ratings.

only works problems straight from book,dont bother with class,just teach yourself.heavy accent,soft spoken,and will treat you like an idiot if you dare to ask a question, even though half the time everyone is just as confused as you are.avoid if possible.

Thick accent,writing illegible if not numbers.Doesn't teach, gives examples and expects you to already know how to do them.Don't bother going to class, must teach yourself if you're going to get anywhere.Drop ASAP!Class average on last test, 46.

He is very hard to understand, if you have problems with thick accents find another prof.

he is unaware he does not reach his students. not good. if you get stuck in this class do all the homework and teach yourself.

get the hell out while you can. or just teach yourself because this teacher is about as usefull as a bag of rocks

Very straight forward class, however if you plan to learn from his lectures on the chalkboard good luck reading or hearing anything he writes or says. He puts all of his notes online though- read them! or print them and bring to class and do hw. The tests are easy.

Very unhelpful teacher. With thick language. Don't take him. Material explaine unclear.

Got a C, my average was about 54%. Crap teacher, but makes up for it with a low curve. The cheese sandwich I had for lunch would make a better teacher than he. I am not ready for Calc III at all.

Worst math teacher I have ever had. Thick accent making it very dificult to understand. You will learn nothing from lectures. Tries to rewrite the book so you end up doing 2 sets of homework, the book and his own notes. Tests are illogical for material.

the worst math teacher I ever had, I had to go with tutors to be able to undestand the material. the good thing is that he curves and that he replaces your lower test score with the score on the final if you do better on the final.

Like everyone else said, the average for each test was about 50% and he does not help you out that much as far as teaching goes. Even if you know the subject well dont waste your time with this teacher.

Don't take him he will fail you

Don't take him

GET OUT!! GET OUT!! CRASH ANOTHER TEACHER!! you cant read his writing! you can understand his accent! he makes u feel like an idiot when you ask a question! i survived cuz i got a tutor and my TA, Jake T., was very helpful in his office hours! i busted my ass really really hard and barely passed!

I used to think i was good at math before this f*cker...now i'm reconsidering my major...i'm taking it again....there was no way i even came close to passing the class...along with like half the class that failed hard...

He's the worst teacher ever. DO NOT TAKE HIM! He's a bit confusing and has an accent which only confuses you more. The TA was no help either. You might as well teach yourself the material from the book.

His lectures are extremely BORING. He just go by the book and still make some mistakes in the proof. It's okie to make mistakes but as a prof. he should minimize the errors. I think he should put more time in research on how to teach this course. However on the good side, HWs are do able and tests are not that bad.

This prof. need some revision on his teach skill. Lectures are unclear. Just stick to the note and don't bother buy the book.

Whatever you do, don't take him. If he's not going to retire, maybe if nobody takes his courses, they might retire him. Unfortunately, I think he's the Math president of the department or something like that. I didn't learn anything from lecture and he takes attendence which counts towards grade, so I had no choice but to go to class.

STAY AWAY from this Prof even for those who love math. I think someone say that they learn more from a TA than the lecture.

Exams are okie but it based on how much you can memorized. This is good news for those of you who like to use note card or write until you remember it. Lectures are boring, Hw are somewhat tough. Take someone else if you have choice. Good Luck!

he is the worst professor ever. Grumpy old professor from another country who must retire immediately.

HORRIBLE TEACHER!!!! I LEARNED MORE FROM THE TA THAN FROM HIM. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

he sucks! don't take this class with him because you will have to learn it on your own! He has a terrible accent and I JUST HATED THAT CLASS.

Just stay away from this guy. He will teach you nothing.

Please, for your own sake, DON'T take any classes with this man as your professor! For the love of God, save yourselves! But seriously... you if you can avoid him try your best to.

Class is really easy, but he presents the material in a really awful manner. He badmouths all calculus texts because he is bitter about not having his own book published. He is willing to help in office hours, but I find it easier to ignore him altogether and learn material from a quality text and not his notes or lecture. Really nice man.

He was probably the worst math teacher i have ever had. I could barely understand him in class. He sounded like he was mumbling all the time, probably because he doesn't speak english very well. The text book he uses is useless and hard to comprehend, i ended up buying the normal calculus book that every other professor uses. He is nice though

Please. I went to class everday, studied an hour or two a day had a tutor. and still failed and i like math alot. If you can try to stay away from this class

Dunster and kirck*** are a thousand times better than this teacher.if u see contradictory reviews is because the teacher rates himself. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE IS TEACHING. going to lectures is useless. OPEN THE BOOK AND TEACH YOURSELF. Lectures are useless. Students have a hard time following what he says and what he writes in the board.

PROS: you can pass this class by just going over practice exams they are pretty much the same as the real test. I am taking 19 units I pretty much ignore this class. CONS: I Know how to do the steps but I do not understand why i am doing that. I wish we could turn in homework for credit or extra credit.

Coming from someone who enjoys math he makes it hard to comprehend the subject and his command of the english language. 3 tests only, dont miss more than 5 classes. The t.a. sessions are the only thing tht help. Lectures are all totally reserved for going over worthless proofs and it's straight out of his own book which i regret buying. TAKE BROCK

His teaching style is terrible and he has a heavy accent. He makes math extremely boring and semi impossible to learn. I dont pay so much to go to class and only learn from the book and TA. He is the professor he should learn how to teach.

If you have a good foundation in calc 1 and 2 then you should be fine. I took this class after not taking a math class for 3 years and did fine. I didn't show up to class except for the tests and still got an A. My advice is go to small section and the night before the test pop a 20 mil and you should be fine.

Worst professor I've ever had. Lectures full of non-legible hand writing and mumbling. Have fun.

Literally the worst professor I have ever had. I got a 5 on my AP calculus test and an A in Math 151 with Kirshvink, so I know it's not that I'm incapable of learning calculus. If you want somebody to just read you the text book, then Geveci is the professor for you. If not, take somebody else.

Almost impossible to understand, after a while you learn to decipher him though. The only way I passed was because my tutor taught me everything. As long as you do the work you'll be fine, you don't need to go to class. Try to avoid him if you can.

Barely understandable, rambling lectures that you would be advised not to attend. Prone to fits of anger when you ask him for help or clarification. An excellent textbook, let's be clear, which he waives the royalties for so it's affordable. He just isn't a good teacher, and that combined with dubious grading policies means you should avoid him.

Professor Geveci is extremely efficient! It only takes him about 30 seconds to prompt you to ask yourself why you went to class! He is overjoyed to make his test extremely hard yet not curve the class. He enjoys your company so much that he fails half the class just so he can enjoy another semester with you. Don't ever change Geveci. your awesome

Avoid Geveci like the plague. He can't speak clearly, is really old so he is hard to understand, and he literally reads the book to you. I have gone to class, and every time I go, there are about 20 people that actually bother to show, and even then, they aren't paying attention. I would say take the class with a different professor to be safe.

The professor is absolutely terrible at teaching. Very hard to follow and hard to be engaged in lecture. Don't bother going to class, just study from the book itself. I learned an entire semester in one night thanks to the book. Worst professor I've taken at SDSU. Worst part is, you MUST take this class and he's the only one that teaches MATH252.

Class was useless to attend. His lectures consist of going over the book which he wrote so it is full of mistakes and makes no sense whatsoever. Grade consist of 3 midterms and a final. Test are mildly difficult if you go over the practice exam multiple times. Going to the break out sections was my only hope of passing the class.

Don't bother going to class. You will get nothing out of it. Only go to the break out sessions. You will have to teach yourself everything on your own.

Terrible

If you like going to lectures and not understand a word the professor says then he's your guy. His English is poor, he jumps around a lot, and you get no chance to learn. If you want to pass this class, then you might want to get multiple text books on the subject and study your ass off. Oh and also the tests have nothing to do with the hw.

Honest review. I never use this website, but I feel its important for future students to read this. If you take this professor, you must have self discipline. Lectures are useless, and you have to teach yourself calculus. It is easy during the start, but gets increasingly difficult towards the end of semester. Tests are fair though.

So basically, If you are reading this you have read the right comment pertaining to this teacher. If you go to SDSU, DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT take this professor. He is very hard to understand, he wrote his own textbook so in class he only reads out of it, and he and his TA are very difficult to get help from. I got a A in Calc2, now to barely pass.

He writes his own textbooks, and his lectures are him basically doing problems from the book. However, even if you do lug yourself to class good luck understanding his thick accent. He definitely knows what he's talking about, but doesn't really know how to translate it in a way the class can understand. Requires a LOT of self teaching. good luck

1. About no explanations. 2. when asked a question, says you should research that. 3. tough exams. 4. bad textbook written by the prof. never take it

Tunc mumbles inaudibly, reads his textbook that he wrote to the class instead of teaching math. His classes are just proofreading sessions for his self published book which sucks. He should be fired immediately. I learned nothing about Calculus from Geveci, I don't think I understood one word he mumbled all semester.

Tunc Geveci is a terrible professor, I won't take that away from him. But compared to any other professor teaching calculus I would take this one every time! The curve on the class is ridiculous! Wrote his own book, gives practice exams on blackboard. If you do the practice exams a few times and attend your TA session, you should get an A.

don't ever take this class

If you didn't pass this class you clearly didn't try to understand it. I went to class the first week only and just made sure I knew how to do the optional homework, the online homework, and the study guide. The study guide is exactly like the test (giving you no excuse to fail) I got a 75% for my final grade, which was an A. To get a C was a 40%..

If you take this class you're basically signing up to teach yourself calculus. Lectures are pretty much useless. He's old and has a thick accent making him hard to understand, plus he uses complex mathematical notation without explaining it (he also wrote the book & its the same) Tests are bearable because he posts sample tests. Pray for a good TA

Geveci is a horrible professor. You'll end up teaching yourself everything because his teaching style is so bad. However, the tests are very similar to the study guides and problems in the book, and if you work hard enough you can get decent grades. The class also has an okay curve, too.

compared to other prof provided for the course, take geveci!! You won't have to take notes if you have the book& bring it to class. tests are similar to the practice exam. do all the homework (only assigns it for half the semester). 3 exams, 1 final, 1 dropped exam. TRY to ace the FIRST exam& you won't stress that much for the rest of the semester.

He is very smart but he doesn't know how to teach a room full of students. His lectures only consisted of reading the textbook to the class. He wrote his own book, there is errors on almost every other page. He doesn't curve but he set the grade percentages slightly lower. Would not suggest unless can teach yourself and are willing to work hard.

There's no homework or participation points. Everything is based on tests and good luck trying to understand him. You will have to teach yourself because he's not great at explanations. Also, try to find his book online, it has many typos but if you have it, it'll help you understand what you need to know for tests.

This semester grades were based off grades only. No homework or quizzes. Reason is because no one attended his boring and unproductive lectures and Tunc got upset. Midterm grades were 60MT1, 50MT2, 70%MT3. Overall just read the book and practice A LOT. My favorite memory was when he emailed the class after a MT to point out a typo on his exam.

He would read directly from the book he read or write an example on the board then end up saying something was wrong and to stick with the book. During lecture someone asked a question, he turned to the screen and continued to read from his book. The tests are mostly memorization of the proofs and definitions. He does provide a study guide.

He knows his math. Teach yourself. Tough grader. Hwk assigned but not graded, grade based entirely on 3 exams at 22% each and 1 final at 34%, UCSD summer math is similar. Teach yourself or fail. For testing.... no calculator, brief notes on unit circle stuff provided, YOU need to memorize a bunch of other unnecessary references. Don't take!

Terrible professor. Created his own textbook, based on his own teaching experience, but it contains multiple typos and inconsistencies. Lectures are boring and incomprehensible. His accent and old age are key factors in how bad he teaches. You're better off with another teacher, or teaching yourself throughout the semester.

Geveci is the worst professor I've ever had at SDSU. As a math major, most classes are extremely challenging but still fair, except this one. Nothing he says in lecture is relevant to the class, and often makes things more confusing. Get ready to teach this entire subject to yourself, including memorizing countless 3-page proofs for tests. Avoid!!

Most Boring and annoying Professor I have ever Had , Doesn't Responde to e-mails , tough grader , I don't think he understands what he is teaching , if he was the only math professor left in the world , I would prefer to stay uneducated. Geveci is the worset professor in human history.

Easy Class. Terrible Teacher. He is the single worst teacher I have ever had. Don't bother going to his lectures they're just a waste of time. Make sure to always to to the TA session once a week. You'll have to teach basically everything to yourself but it is do-able. Make sure to do the practice tests

I took Geveci for MATH 252, don't take him. His accent is extremely thick and I did not learn a thing in his large lecture. His class is basically a self-study class but the only good thing about it is that the problems in his textbook contain the exact problems that are going to be on the exam!
