Reviews of professor Ismail Gobulukoglu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. G was a good professor mostly because he was pretty relaxed. His quizzes have all the formulas you need; he never tries to trick you with an incredibly difficult question. That being said, his 2 midterms + final are challenging and require you to study more than what he has on the study guide. He pushes back due dates often and is available.

Lectures are long and read word for word off a power-point. But, he is a very generous grader on test and quizzes and dedicates a whole lecture for review. Several of the review problems he works through ended up on the tests. Overall, I heard horror stories about 221, but thanks to him this was the easiest physics I have taken.

This man is singlehandedly the nicest and best professor I have had. He cares about his students and is unbelievably chill. Thanks to him for restoring my faith in professors being genuine people who care about students!

Not terrible but not the greatest either. Lectures are often incoherent and make you fall asleep, doesn't go through any examples you'll find on homework. Only thing I can praise about him is that he is incredibly lenient with changing due dates and answering questions during tests, he at least understands how awful online learning can be sometimes

Dr G is the nicest prof ever. Physics can be daunting but I always felt confident in his class b/c he prepared us so well. tests were pretty easy and were partially mc which never happens anymore. He was always willing to repeat or re-explain things. Not much hw. Quizzes were straightforward and just basic concepts. Take his class to avoid stress
