Reviews of professor Bilal Erturk

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Erturk is very smart, but I am not sure what to make of his class. The concepts covered were either super easy or super hard. The formulas given also were in convoluted scientific notation and are not easily readable. The first two exams were on paper with partial credit and were relatively easy, but the final was on Excel and was very difficult.

Taking this class over summer, like any class, is hard because of the condensed timeline but Professor Erturk is a great guy and great teacher. The material was stuff I had never seen before or had seen years ago and he did such a good job of explaining these hard concepts in a 5 week period. I would totally take him again.

Don't take this class at 8am and don't underestimate it. Homework is able to be turned in late for -2% each day. There are multiple group projects. The exams were pretty tough and the lectures are pretty dull, especially early in the morning. Erturk is nice enough and his lectures are decent. I am dropping and retaking next semester.

Bilala Erturk is a brilliant, and kind man. But he is a very poor professor. His lectures are very slow, and I can say that I have learned very little in finance from taking his class. I still don't know how to build a DCF model, but at least I know what an angel investor is after spending 3 days on discussing them.

By far the worst professor I have ever had in college. He grades extremely tough and don't expect a curve at any given point in the class. His lectures are worthless because the tests are often different from what he teaches us. Extra credit?... FORGET ABOUT IT. Do not take this professor.
