Reviews of professor Ferda Erturk

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class was interesting because it was simple enough and yet difficult. It was unlike any class I have ever or will ever take. You would learn ways to solve problems in class and in textbook, but when presented with problem sets and exams, the problems were completely different and required puzzle like abilities to solve.

You NEED to attend lecture to succeed. Most of her exam questions are just modifications of homework or lecture examples. Those who find the class hard also don't attend lecture (roughly 10 people attending lecture for a 40 person class). She can be terse at first but is more than willing to help you if you put the effort into her class.

Ferda is a graduate student, not a professor, and is extremely disrespectful and downright rude, condescending when you need help, and unwilling to accomodate any outside circumstances.

As mentioned below, Ferda is extremely unhelpful and does not accommodate requests at all. I would not recommend this class at all. It's an interesting subject but she makes it difficult to learn.
