Reviews of professor Ayse Durukan Sonmez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She explains concepts thoroughly and walks students through practice problems in class. She offers opportunities for extra credit and has a forgiveness final exam, so take advantage of that if needed. I really enjoyed her class and found it to be the least stressful course in the block.

Professor Sonmez is incredibly caring and I have gone to her office hours so many times. I learned a lot in the class on supply chain and there were many Excel projects. Because of the projects, you will have to put in a lot of time and work because they are difficult but it is a good experience to have. She's great to talk to for career advice.

This R course was difficult for me because I had never coded before but she was so supportive and gave me lots of support resources to learn so it was easier. R is very useful in the data analytics field and is a great tool to know so definitely recommend this class. If you struggle, reach out to her for help and she will gladly support you

Best professor of the block. Lectures are definitely enjoyable and she makes class interesting. Very often she is available to help or talk after class. Overall great professor that I will be taking future classes with!

Professor DS is the best professor I've had at WM. Her lectures are engaging, she outlines clearly what we need to read to prepare for class, and hints at pop quizzes before they happen. Homework is 25% of the grade, and is easy to get 100s on. Also, take the optional final exam. There are almost no scenarios where taking Exam 2 instead is better.

Prof is very kind, gives EC and has a forgiving test policy. THAT BEING SAID, her lectures are EXTREMELY fast and unclear. She zooms through excel stuff and you can't see what she's doing, and she doesn't explain what she's teaching. She also makes you learn two complicated and important concepts through req. RECORDED LECTURES outside of class.

Dr. D-S is a pretty good professor. Her assignments take a ton of work, but they're a good opportunity to get a 100%. Her online quizzes are very easy. She does give pop-quizzes, so beware. She takes attendance daily and it's mandatory.

Dr. DS was one of my favorite profs in the block- she's caring, knowledgeable, funny, and makes lectures engaging. As for the course itself, there are a few "pop quizzes", but she always hinted at it beforehand. A large portion of the grade is from excel assignments with only 2 attempts, so you just have to make sure you go to her or TAs if needed!
