Reviews of professor Yasemin Ipek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's amazing. Very knowledgeable, caring and easy grader. ANTH 308 was my favorite class this semester, definitely eye-opening. We covered many interesting subjects and class discussions were fun. Even though attendance was not required, many students showed up and participated. She made me love anthropology and respect Middle East culture more.

Ignore any of the good ratings. She must've written them herself. The workload is ridiculous. Currently taking 5 classes, but it feels like I'm taking 6 because of her. The way her teaching is structured does not even make sense. Not enough time is given for in-class activities, yet they're graded. I am not the only one in the class that feels this

This is the second time Ive taken an anthropology class with professor Ipek. Her classes are a bit difficult, it not an easy A but its doable. I commend the way she handled doing her classes amid the pandemic. She got rid of her late work policy, allowed for multiple extensions, was immediately accessible and understanding. Amazing professor!!!!

Professor Ipek is very knowledgable in her field. I learned so much about the Middle East. Class discussions were fun. Also, not a difficult class for only 5 weeks. Some Discussion Board prompts, a presentation, and a couple of research project papers and a poster presentation at the end. She's very supportive and gives really helpful feedback.

I definitely learned a lot! You can tell all students enjoyed the class discussions as participation was very high (sometimes I couldn't find the space to talk :) Some assignments can challenge you, but her guidelines and rubric help a lot. She is also super available to provide feedback and help with everything. I'll take another class with her.

Good and understanding professor but the class felt very unorganized. There was a LOT of reading/videos to watch before class EVERY class (not just for the week). The content was interesting and I learned a lot but I do think the class should be structured differently.

She's adorable. I never met a professor who loves teaching and students this much. Some short writing assignments other than midterm essay, poster presentation and final essay (research project). She's cool with late submissions or not coming to live Zoom meetings. Smart, fun, and flexible. Every class is an interesting discussion. I'll miss her.

I took this class because it's the only synchronous GLOA101. Fun Zoom classes. 20 pgs reading&one movie every week. Only 8 weeks you must do two prompts on Discussion Board. She's very well organized&has clear expectations. Also gives questions beforehand, open book exam, and grades generously. Many extra credits. Flexible, caring, and nice. Easy A
