Reviews of professor Umit Kucuk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Awesome guy, extremely engaging and constantly cracking jokes. I personally was not the most enthralled given this was the last general BUS course I took but I would recommend everyone takes him.

Group project and Tests are worth 70%. Professor is knowledgeable about the subject but lectures are mostly reading from slides. Expectations from students are vague and study guides do not correlate with what's on the tests. Online asynchronous was a nightmare but I'll give the benefit of the doubt that in-person could be good.

first test is very hard lots of vocabulary and info to remember. USE THE BOOK/STUDY GUIDE from book. His study guides are trash. he grades participation,but there were a couple times I left early or didn't go and i still got full credit. does give out extra credit sometimes. class can be easy if you study early on for tests.

Umit is one of the best teachers at UW. He is caring, cracks jokes, and if your class is talkative he feeds off that energy and gives it back to you. There is a textbook for this class, but you can rent it for as low as $30 on Amazon. Homework was light, and tests are just like the study guide. Just read and you can get an A. He curves grades too.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He is funny, knowledgeable, & I really enjoyed his class. As long as you show up & pay attention, you will pass. The negative reviews are wrong. He can come off as confrontational, but English is his second language & is just blunt sometimes. He means the best & is an amazing professor. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!

If you have the option DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! especially if its online. He has three exams the whole quarter and they are such small amounts of points. He gives you a study guide and makes them open book but generally gives you less than a minute per question and study guides don't correlate at all. Also very unclear on due dates. Save yourself

Professor Kucuk remains one of the worst professors I have come across. Grading scale is unclear, does not give feedback, and the group project was confusing as his directions aren't good. Every student I have talked to that has taken his class agrees he isn't the best.
