Dr. Dincer was very helpful. He responded very quickly to any questions I had and he truly cares about his students and their success.

Awesome professor and amazing class. We really chilled with lots of LinkedIn Learning, which I honestly wouldn't do on my own. I ran into trouble this quarter, but Dincer was kind and helped me catch up without stress. After taking this software dev class, I now feel excited about building up my LinkedIn profile and software development as a whole.

Professor Dincer is very approachable and is willing to help you at unlikely times. However, at least for my course, he was unable to conduct it properly due to health reasons. This led to him assigning 3 programming assignments and 20 quizzes on the last day of finals. They were relatively simple, yet it was still stressful.

Professor Dincer is the great professor. Really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Really stress free professor. Would definitely recommend him!

No doubt that he has much experience in this field but his lecture is confusing sometimes. The assignments are long but he allows late submission without penalty so no pressure. Easy grading. If you submit the code early and there are some mistakes, he offers you a second chance to fix it and resubmit it. Offer bonus points for a good report.

Lots of little useless assignments. Bad lecturer. Vague instructions*. *Instructions are deliberately vague to simulate real life. This means that you have more flexibility for how you complete an assignment, but you have to figure it out on your own. If you can teach yourself then this should be ok, but sometimes instructions are too vague.

He is a nice person but there is no doubt that his teaching skills are near zero. He will discuss the concepts like he is having a casual conversation at a lunch. There is no concret details to back up what he is talking about. As a result, often it is very difficult to follow him unless you already know the concepts inside out to begin with.

Work load at the start of the quarter was too much but he listened to student feedback and gave less work for the second half of the quarter. Projects are not very well explained but he is very lenient on the requirments. He is very understanding and gives lots of extra time for projects. If your programs compile, you should get a good grade.

Professor Dincer is extremely approachable if you have any questions. I believe he could make the class much harder but simply wants people to show that they are interested in learning something. The tests are not too difficult but it's important to take some notes in class, there's just too much information to remember.
