Reviews of professor Erdem Topsakal

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Topsakal motivates students to expand their education with tailored class projects and project based home works. The time and dedication he devotes to the students is unparalleled. His classes are by far the best experience you're going to get at VCU Engineering. If you haven't had a course with this professor yet, I encourage you to look.

Dr. Tops has taken over EGRE 206 and its an improvement from previous professors. Hes very interesting, you wont be bored. But time can be spent more so going over concepts than doing practice problems when in a class like this practice problems help the most. TAs can grade harsh and somewhat unfair, but will give points back. Good class overall

Very good professor, he is the ECE department chair, and for good reason. Genuinely cares about students, puts effort into both classroom and research, not always personally available for office hours (because of his other duties as department head), but has excellent TAs to make up for it. Tough grader but gives extra credit to make up for it.
