Reviews of professor Sevgi Gurbuz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is a great person and a brilliant professor, but has a hard time communicating material in a way that is understandable. Getting your grades back for tests can sometimes take weeks and she is hard to get a hold of. This class is already difficult, but it seems like she made it a lot harder than it needed to be.

Given that this is one of the hardest MechE classes, Dr. Gurbuz is the best teacher for this class. She cares a lot about her students; she will often give bonus quizzes and other extra credit opportunities to boost your grade. Be ready to prioritize this class above all other classes. Also, don't buy any textbooks; her posted materials are enough.

Signal processing is a very difficult concept. However, Dr. Gurbuz does a good job teaching it. She does want the class grades to match a bell curve.

Gurbuz is very smart with great experience, but is incapable of understanding the students level of understanding. It seemed like she had trouble breaking the later material down to an undergraduate level. Her homework was not too often and weighted at 10% but was difficult and graded harshly. The other section was take home exams.

This was one of the hardest classes Ive taken at UA. She grades very tough and then she would always erase things after she wrote them because she didnt know if they were right. There is a curve at the end, but this class was a huge struggle.

She cares for all the students and wants everyone to succeed. When the class doesn't do well on an test, she'll give a quiz to help the class average and at the end of the semester depending on how the class is doing, she'll let students retake 1 test. I recommend going to office hours because it helps! She is the best, take this class with her!

Gurbuz is very nice and caring, but the class is seriously hard at times. She does teach with the attitude that she just wants everyone to know the material by the end of the course and will provide some extra credit to boost you, but it's hard to detract from the sometimes wildly challenging exams or quizzes given throughout the semester.
