Reviews of professor Ali Ozdemir

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Avoid at all costs!!! Cannot understand this prof when he speaks. Made a meeting with him in his office- he showed up 30mins late and then ranted about how I would have bad karma if I didn't agree that it was fine for him to be late. Horrible teacher, take anyone else!

This profesor does not care to put you down and loves to make you feel smaller. After asking him about my grade for something he thought I was belittling his work and he raised everyones grade but kept mine the same. I prefer a professor that cares like all my other ones and that is fair.

A very nice man but is kind of absent minded. Makes grading mistakes but is willing to fix them if you find them. Speaks very quietly and is kind of difficult to understand but you can tell he enjoys the material. Barely any points except for the tests and a big project. If you ask questions and stay engaged you will do fine but it's not easy.

Intermediate macro is a hard class in itself. Very nice and well informed on the topic, but can frequently make mistakes and corrects himself at least once per class. The slides occasionally have incorrect information and don't give great examples. Homework not really reflective of content - frequently no example of problem given. Not a fun course.

Ozdemir is one of the worst instructors, if you cant teach yourself you will have a terrible time. Average test scores were below passing and that isn't even the worst part. He is very unorganized not know the dates of breaks and doesn't respond to emails. Final exam was the worst written test, and he even messed up the final grades expecting an A-

Dr. Ozdemir is a friendly and very knowledgeable professor regarding macroeconomics. If you're confused on something, he'll gladly do his best to clarify it. He gives lectures with slides as supplement. Grades depend on HW and three midterms. If you read before class and do all the work, you should be OK. Can be a little quiet, but not too bad.

Dr. Oz is really cool and super easy to talk to. He cares about his students and their grades and is always there to answer any questions you may have. Lectures have a lot of information so be sure to pay attention but slides are posted on brightspace just in case you missed something.

Professor Ozdemir really cares about his students. He seemed to struggle with the online environment. The tests were multiple choice questions. Afterwards he'd send out emails saying that some questions didn't have the correct answer as an option. Very confusing. So hard to get a hold of. I have a 4.0 GPA and this course seriously jeopardized it.
