Reviews of professor Alaz Kilicaslan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I overall really enjoyed the class, but it requires a lot of participation. every week the assignment alternates between open discussions (total of 4), guided discussions (total of 5), and essays(total of 5). your worst grade of each is dropped though. each essay is 2-3 pages, and the final is a film critique which is 4-5 pages. def recommend!

I found his class to be really straightforward. Some of the weekly content was a bit long and boring like any other core class, but nothing unmanageable. The discussions can get to be a little dry and repetitive after a while, but the quizzes are always relatively short with some short answer prompts. A little awkward at times, but I liked him.

Good professor, yes. Good topics, not so much. Throughout much of the class I felt like he was trying to force liberal thinking onto me. I often felt like I needed to go against own beliefs in order to get points. Other than that Alaz was always prepared and always made what is expected very clear. He also gave us a few weeks off before finals

Professor Alaz is one of the best professors I ever had and is truly a saint. All of his classes are interesting and I wish he taught every class. You have a few small assignments every week, which only take 30 minutes at most. Alaz's class is by far one one of the best I've taken. Overall, a laid-back professor who grades well.

Alaz is an amazing teacher, and you will absolutely pass if you just do the assignments as he puts them out. He doesn't put out too much work, and he has been my most organized teacher since COVID. There was never a time I didn't understand what I was supposed to do and how. Keep it real Alaz!

CORE 130 is a breeze with Alaz.  Show up to his once-a-week classes and get the weekly homework done which takes under two hours and that's the entire semester.  One final paper at the end but no exam.  Also class itself is relatively interesting and Alaz is a funny and great guy.
