Reviews of professor Tuba Ertas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Ertas is a lecturer, but cares as much as a professor. She wrote my letter of recommendation, and was extremely helpful during office hours. Just stay on top of the work, and make use of office hours.

She is a very caring professor who wants to see her students succeed. Lectures include problems which are exactly what will be on exams. She allows students to have real-world experience and sets up tours for treatment plants and also brings in case studies from water systems around San Diego. This is a very straight forward class! Would recommend!

Incredibly easy class. All her test questions are just a tad different from the lecture examples she goes over. You're allowed to use the lectures on the test so all you have to do is work backwards a little bit or apply some changes and you can figure it out. Easy A

Env chem is really problem heavy class, but I actually feel like i'm learning applicable real concepts for a change. You need to do the work for an A. Dr. Ertas is really accessible, and emails you how to solve the hw if you run into problems.

kind professor, offers extra credit, helps a lot during office hours, and gives a lot of chances for you to actually learn the material. Professor Ertas is one of the best professors i've had.

If you have the option, take Mladenov instead. With Ertas, theres no real world explanation. Its just lecture slides and problems (robotish) With Mladenov, you are taught to be a well rounded engineer. She brings real world problems and makes you think about how you will apply your work from class. Mladenov also explains problems better honestly.
