inadequate as an instructor

impossible to learn from

terrible,bad

brilliant but cannot, i repeat cannot teach

he is the worst prof ever

Proof that not everyone should try teaching...

Smart man, but that Ph. D. obviously didn't come with teaching skills.

told my class that if you didnt make a 70 on the first test to go home

He is a sexy guy

Terrible Terrible Terrible, and um...Terrible

Word of advice, take class at other university and transfer credit, only phys 2

Turned me off to anything dealing w/ electricity. Take this one over the summer

If you enjoy getting told that you are going to fail take this. If not avoid it.

he start, but does not care if you understand or not

take cpcc in summer, hard to get trasent study but worth it

not helpful..hard..don't take it

Class is extremely hard avoid this teacher if at all possible!!!!

Over complicates everything, as well as does not go over anything that is on his tests

Aktas' class is a really bad. This is indeed a hard subject but Aktas is mean and treats everyone mean. Hes not that good a teacher. There's nothing postive about taking him as a teacher. It's possible to pass; even get an A, but its not easy. I don't think hes a fun teacher. bad grammar and humor

Atkas sucks. I enrolled in his course 3yrs ago and still feel the reprecussions. He's a GPA leech and drinks the blood of babies. He also steals their candy and brains. Eat it Osh-Kosh-Ba-Gosh!

This man is heartless. I spent the beginning of the semester nursing my MOTHER who was DYING of cancer. When I asked for more time with homework and exams (two days after my mother died) he told me I needed to get priorities straight and there would be no make up work or exams!!! The man is EVIL!

he is a cunning and a terrible teacher. don't know why he teaches this course, and i will surely talk to the head of this department. can phys department find another instructor who will be nice, helpful and predictable?!

horrilbe....told half of our class to end their existance....what kind of teacher is that....can't teach to save his life....but is awesome at making u feel stupid...heck he will tell u at ur face that "ur stupid and u don't know anything"....i wouldn't even tell my enemies to take his class.

This man is horrible! He is insensitive to the students and is a horrible teacher. Unorganized! He even lost one of my tests! His handwriting is awful too so its almost impossible to take notes. I was so thankful for the C I got just so I wouldnt have to sit through this class again!

Dr. Aktas is a really bad teacher. He is inconsiderate to his students. He also can't speek english very well and can't write. This makes the class even harder. Do not take this course with Aktas. He will only make you fail

Worst then MELTON!! (if you don't know what I am talking about just look at MELTON's rating) Aktas is rude, can't speak english, can't write clearly, and worst of all he DOESN'T believe in PARTIAL CREDIT!! if you miss one little part of a LONG ass Calculus problem, you automatically get a F! AVIOD!

Ye just like the others say he sux. He doesn;t help out if u have missed class for a legitimate reason ie. surgery and wont let u make up stuff. He doesn;t give partial credit and grades very harshley.......he sux

Although Dr. Aktas is intelligent, he has no idea how to teach. His tests are exactly what the homework problems are, however it is impossible to learn how to do a problem from his lecture. He does no problems in class and therefor you have no idea how to apply the concepts from lecture.

This was by far the worst teacher that I have had. Always forgets what he wrote at the beginning of class and was never helpful with questions. Always preferred helping out with the ladies but was very rude towards guys. Avoid at all costs.

Got stuck with no choice to take, but avoid at all costs, confronted with problem of no application of formulas in class and he questions my efforts to succeed. I spent hours at a time working on his assignments and still don't succeed at them, complete jerk. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

Horrible teacher, avoid at all costs, seems everyone cept people who are already experienced in this stuff are doomed to fail. His explainations are extremely vague and he is the most unhelpful teacher I've ever come across. If you ask a question, he is rude and just says study more. Athough he is extremely smart, his ego is bigger than his brain.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS Everybody is totally lost in there, he puts NO numbers in anything, it's all symbols and letters.Doesn't teach how we can apply this anywhere. If you can't take anyone else, just wait till next semester, cuz there's no point it messing up your GPA with this guy. I made that mistake, and i was forewarned as well, but had no choice

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. If his class does bad he tells them they are terrible and don't try, and that no one could teach better than he is. And near the end of the semester, almost any question you ask for help on he says:"I shouldn't have to tell you this, if you'd try harder you would know." He's smart but as a teacher he sucks and is a jerk.

Still confused about how this class will assist me later, but this guy was the worst professor I have had at UNCC. I will not ever take another class he teaches, took one test that I knew what I was doing and made a 50, asked what I did wrong, and he said I didn't study enough, yet mine looked like his, avoid, if no choice, then wait for a semester

this is the first class that i have failed in all my years of education (GPA 3.0). I would estimate that over half the class failed. The man is smart, but he is trying to throw fastballs in little league. the homework and quizzes are easy, but the tests are next to impossible for the average student.

This is not a nice man. He is condescending, judgemental, impossible to communicate with. Returns email but rarely with an answer to the question. His lectures are dry, boring and seem to have little to do with test material. I stopped going and learned by myself from the text book. I got a B. I suggest taking the class with Leilabody instead.

Lectures are useless. All he does is work problems and do derivations (Which you can hardly understand him anyway). If you are lucky, you get a good TA for problem solving and they can actually go over the problems and clear things up. For everything else though, you're pretty much on your own.

Without a doubt one of the worst professors I have ever had. Never responds to emails, and is not willing to work with you in anyway shape or form.

Worst professor I have ever had period. Lecture is awful. No one even goes. Avoid at all costs.

Didn't respond to e-mails, hard class to follow and wasn't clear on material. Avoid and try to take someone else.

We literally have 3 tests in the semester and that's what you're graded upon. Good luck passing this course especially with a professor like him. All he does is derive the formula and do a problem that is totally irreverent towards the tests. Avoid if possible!

Does nothing to make the class interesting, or more helpful. Once class starts its a lecture straight to the end. I've had this course with another professor who did a much better job, and actively tried to engage students and did his best to make sure they understood. Halfway trough the course most students stopped coming to class

Arguably the worst teacher at UNCC. I took Dr. Yawo for network theory (Dr. Yawo is amazing at teaching and loves and cares about his students) and Dr. Yawo taught me everything about physics 2 in network It's a shame they don't suggest taking Network 1 before physics 2. It would help a lot IMO

Going to class is nearly pointless. He messes up nearly all of his example problems making it difficult to take notes. He does not give tests back and threatened to take points off of tests if you wanted to review your test and there wasn't a grading mistake. Said there would be no friction problems on test 1, then gave us a test with half friction

You're better off learning everything on your own such as looking at the class notes and the online lectures. I don't know why Aktas is still at UNCC but he needs to be fired. He confuses the whole class and constantly makes mistakes. He has lost all credibility according to me and a ton of other students. His lectures are pointless and boring too.

Hes absolutely awful. Avoid at all costs. Stuff you learn in his online videos are quite confusing when you try to apply it to the homework and the tests. Better if you rely on the textbook, but be warned: the book may not be reliable on his tests either.

Dr. Aktas is honestly one of the worst professors I have ever been taught by. The way he teaches is not helpful, and it is difficult to understand what he is even trying to teach. Physics is already a difficult subject, so when you include a professor that is boring, irritating, and a tough grader, it makes the class almost impossible to pass.

Dr. Aktas is a decent lecturer, when it comes to exams, please study the example problems inside and out. There have been cases where students don't show up to class and miss quizzes. Show up to class and also know your proofs. His favorite example problems are proofs. Know that what most of what you will learn comes from example problems.

Dr. Aktas is a professor who will not teach you if you do not understand the material. Do not take his class, I have a 3.8 GPA and have not been able to pass either of the exams we have taken. He is difficult to understand and doesn't actually teach his class. If you have him for physics 2 you will teach yourself.

Lectures will bore you to death with proofs instead of actually learning the material needed to pass. He can never be reached outside of class, he answers at most half of his emails. When we had to transition to online classes he was non existent until test day. One of the worst professors I've ever had. Don't take him at all. It's not worth it.

The man does not teach physics, he just shows you how equations are derived and encourages you to "read your textbook," then gives tests which make up 90% of your grade where you mostly just do math. Gives ludicrous amounts of partial credit though.

He is very disappointing. I don't understand how I went from a B in Physics 1 to a fail in his class. He doesn't do test reviews because "he doesn't have time". He goes over derivations of equations rather than actual test material. In fact, his tests also deviate from his lectures. I agree with other poor ratings. How can you have a 3.8 and fail??

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. Avoid at all costs!!! I'm on track to fail his class and will be taking physics II elsewhere!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. He is very condescending when you ask questions and claims to be accessible outside of class but never responds to emails. He is not understanding and does not seem to care about his students at all. The average for all 3 exams was a D and he claims that we did very well. If I could give him 0 stars I would.

Try not to take his class. Boring. I learned more from the book then from the lectures. Tests were more from the end of chapter problems. The test average in my section was a C. He says we did very well? How, if the average in class is a C?

One of the most pee pee bedsheets courses I've taken. Miserable during exams, when doing HW, and when thinking about the class. Exams are 4 or 5 questions and be prepared to receive a D if you dont write the equations and drawings exactly how baby daddy Aktas wants them. This class is balls

Finally, it's time to shine on rating this prof/class. I took more than one class with him this semester (no other choice). Trust me, you will fail his classes. Classes are soul-sucking beyond your imagination. There are no assigned books, and his notes are useless. Don't think you're smart, you got it. You will get SMOKED.

Worse teacher I have ever had in my entire life, 80-90% of his students are failing. The class average on the 3 midterms are 60%, 55%, and 53% respectively.

It was impossible to understand what this professor was saying and writing. He doesn't give examples, only goes over the theory and proofs while hardly explaining anything. There were 2 tests and a final, which were 90% of our grade overall. I had to teach myself everything and even then, I barely passed. I ended with a 75% that got counted as a B.

90% of your grade will be two tests and the final, the other 10% is weekly homework that takes hours every week to complete. All of his lectures explain the concepts behind everything, but he never really touches on how to apply those concepts to the problems he assigns. Be ready to have to teach yourself the whole course.

I think that he know the topic very well but as far as teaching, he goes over more of the theory than the practical application for the homework and exams. Doesn't help that the final grade is composed of 90% tests

very condescending. lectures are incredibly boring and hard to absorb anything from. he just sits and derives expressions. no intro to the new material, just straight in without explaining what anything means.

He frequently messes up on problems in lectures. You genuinely have no idea if you are solving things correctly, and neither does he. Solved exam reviews were consistently wrong and conflicted with other ones that the TAs did. To sum things up: 90% of our grade is on content he can't even get right. Just No! Don't take it at UNCC! Worst Prof. here.

Terrible, I was better off learning the subject on my own than going into the lectures

An example of a professor who acts like he is knowledgeable but ends being opposite of knowledgeable is Aktas. This guy comes to the class, yaps for 1.15 hours about some bullshit derivations that don't even show up on the exam. Only a psychopath can create a brutal grading structure with 90% of the grade just from 2 midterms and one final.DONTTAKE

This class was horrible. I showed up to lecture the first day where he got sin and cos mixed up and proceeded to look at the board in confusion for 10 minutes. Never showed up again. The only reason I finished with 102 is because I studied hard outside of class, I asked my TA a lot of questions, and there was 8 extra credit points on 2nd midterm.

Aktas handwriting is like chicken scratch. The physics department in uncc is the worst. The attendance on day 1 of lecture = 100%, day 2 = 50%, day 3 = 4% and very soon the physics department will only be teaching walls not human beings. Pathetic. Avoid him at all costs TAKE IT AT CPCC!

Bro made more mistakes than relevant points, if I didn't have a good TA I would've been cooked. He cares more about his drawings than the actual topics and is always screaming at his iPad.
