Reviews of professor Derya Aksaray

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Derya was not a good fit for this class. Lectures were filled with painstaking derivations, with every tiny step being explained. The concepts themselves were skimmed over. If you dare to ask a question, you'll be met with awkward silence and "I'll get back to you". We had a sub lecturer who taught us more in one hour than she did all semester.

Derya is a promising young professor who made a lot of mistakes in teaching and organization of the course that caused unnecessary stress and anxiety to build up throughout the course of the semester but she tried hard to improve and make it a better experience for us. I have her next semester in AEM 2301 and look forward to an improved experience.

Awful professor These are all concepts I understood in Phys 1 but now am so much more unsure about after this semester. This class is only graded by quizzes and midterms. You get a cheat sheet for each midterm, but the tests don't make sense. Quizzes were based on "homework"that she skipped over during lec. Book wasn't necessary for class itself

The class itself wasn't too difficult and I felt her exams were fair. However, lectures could be extremely irritating as she would often write one small mistake, have it pointed out, and then spend the next ten minutes trying to figure out what she did wrong. Many of her lectures are verbatim from the text book, which I don't like.

Great professor. The course was well organized. Her slides with comments and the online lectures were very helpful.
