Reviews of professor Yasemin Ipek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is one of the best professors I have ever had! She emails back super fast and gives really helpful feedback on all assignments. She truly wants all of her students to learn and do well in the class.The readings she assigns can be long sometimes, but are truly interesting to read.

Even though I am from Middle East, I learned a lot in this class. Assignments are interesting and she gives good feedback. You don't have to do all the readings to get A. But read her guidelines carefully. She is also fast in replying emails. Overall a very interesting class and a nice professor.

Professor Ipek is a very caring person and she loves teaching. She had many interesting readings, movies, and guest speakers. I especially liked the book assignment and the group activities. Moderately difficult class if you come to the class meetings and follow her guidelines. She is also helpful when you need accommodations.

Dr Ipek is a very nice and caring professor. But GLOA 101 is too much work. And if you're taking other difficult classes, it will be a hassle. There are many readings and documentaries that you must watch to do the discussion boards. And her exams are essay based which is stressful because even though it is open-book, you must research all topics.

I loved her so much! She was my favorite professor, and I would 100% take her again in the future. She does occasional pop quizzes on content homework from the night before, but she's such a lenient grader that you would be fine if you pay a little attention to what she says. Definitely recommend her, she's so sweet!

One of the best courses I took at Mason! Classes were very interesting, we covered timely political issues from Palestine to Saudi Arabia. I was initially scared how to have the most advanced GLOA course Capstone only in 4 weeks but Prof. Ipek made it easy and fun. No exams, just Discussion Board prompts, research reports, and a final presentation.

I had Professor Ipek my first semester of college and she was great! The material was interesting and very straightforward. It is all accessible through her slides, readings, and assigned videos. She gives pop quizzes and pop discussions, but they're open-note and she gives major hints as to when they'll be. She's also a very lenient grader.

Mediocre at best. Wouldn't recommend if you are looking for an easy A. Nobody has time to read 50+ pages of anth text every week (especially if they are in a demanding major already).
