Reviews of professor burak demir

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The workload for this class at first seemed to be tolerable. His documentary papers added an insane amount of work every time one was assigned. His lectures were extremely long, and they often did not correlate to the quizzes. Actually read the book in order to do well. The quizzes were very hard, and done weekly. They make up most of the grade.

He knows his material, but he is not helpful. The entire class is based off of two tests, and his study guides are so vague, so basically memorize the entire textbook. I am a political science major, and I have studied IR and foreign policy before, but I thought this class was a challenge. He does have a thick accent but you get used to it quickly

Instructor Demir is a really nice guy and a fun teacher. His lectures are interesting and not super dry. This is a class you will need to try in, but as long as you study and listen in class you will be fine. He also offers extra credit. I would totally take him again.
