Reviews of professor Betul Demirkaya

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The material is somewhat interesting, but the lectures are impossible to take in. She is smart and able but has difficulties expressing many concepts in class, and becomes hard to understand. The tests are very difficult and short so there is not much wiggle room. She said this was her first big class and it was very apparent, find another section.

Worst class I have taken. Her TA's do the grading and they barely speak english. When I took my test to her for regrading she admitted that the TAs graded everything completely wrong. Horrible class DO NOT TAKE HER FOR ANYTHING

Awful. The tests are super short so if you miss a couple questions, your grade immediately drops. She doesnt talk about comparative politics at all, just game theory and statistics. Hard to understand, packs slides with tons of paragraphs and graphs and flips through way too fast. Recitation was useless. Wont ever take a class with her again.
