Reviews of professor Fatma Sonmez Leopold

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Wants the best for all her students. Takes her time to make sure everyone is understanding the material while still moving at a good pace. Tests are pretty hard but if you pay attention in class, do the homeworks and ask questions/go to office hours you will be okay. Finance is really hard for me but she is the best professor I could've had for it.

If you are a Whitman student take her classes!!! She is the nicest and most welcoming prof and will make difficult boring classes seem much easier and fun.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
My main issue with Fatma is on the way that she grades, Fatmas classes received a 4 point curve on their final grades while other FIN256 classes got 20-30 point curves. You can put in a lot of effort and her curve will screw you as people who didn't nearly do as well as you will end up doing better due to the curve applied to these other classes

Fatma is the best Professor in Whitman for 256. The classes are lecture heavy, but if you take good notes and put the time in studying, it will be an easy A. Homeworks are almost half your grade, so even though they are tough, keep doing them until you get a 100%. She's a very nice and caring professor, if you take the time, she will for you!
