Reviews of professor Mustafa Akbulut

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Had him for Fluids and his class was disorganized. However I am taking him for heat now and it is a much better experience. He pushes you to understand the fundamentals by walking you through why you make certain assumptions on problems, as well as working out difficult examples. He also has interactive quizzes which are entertaining and helpful.

Akbulut was a nice guy, but he can not teach. His handwriting is so difficult to understand as all his variables look the same. He spends more time deriving equations than solving examples, and his whole class is curved because most fail exams. Overall, nice prof, but a terrible instructor.

Took Mustafa for fluid mechanics and the class was kinda a mess, but he graded really easy on exams (I didn't pass a single one without extra credit, but I got an A in the class) and he's a fun guy. His heat transfer class is way better than his fluid class; he knows what he's talking about this time, and he's still rad. 10/10 would recommend.

His lectures were somewhat hard to follow. There were like 5 "surprise" quizzes but always right before the exams. His exam questions come straight from textbook, slides, and practice exams. He gives some partial credit on FRQ, but not on multiple choice. The final exam he changed to 100% multiple choice so everyone failed cus no partial credit.

Easy to understand, goes over example problems during lecture, posts notes online, and has weekly homework. Provides previous exams before each test which are very helpful in preparing for how the test will be like. As long as you pay attention in class and look at the example problems you will get an easy A.

Akbulut's heat transfer course was easily one of my favorites. He explains the material in a manner that's easy to comprehend, and if you don't understand it at first, office hours with him are great. His interactive quizzes are a great way to learn the problem types on the tests along with homework. Overall, he's one of my favorites. 10/10

The test problems were much easier than the homework problems. So if you can make it through the homework and understand what's going on, the tests will be easy. You have to go to class to get the worked out solutions for the example problems in the notes. Great professor. Teaches well and wants you to succeed. Make him your first choice professor.

The professor is a good lecturer and does his best at trying to ensure we understand the material fully.  He gives tough/long exams and quizzes, but you get to bring a cheat sheet.  If you're able to figure out the homework, then the exams/quizzes should be doable.
