Reviews of professor Gorkem Asilioglu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall he is a really great instructor. He isn't the fastest grading wise, but we got exams back within 3 weeks of having taken them. The homeworks usually take 1-2 weeks to grade. His lectures are a little boring but if you don't understand something, he is extremely helpful at office hours.

Overall great class. He goes through the programs in detail, to ensure that students know exactly what they need to do. Very helpful in Office Hours. Exams are not super easy, but also fair. Great class, would definitely take again.

You'll have absolutely no idea how you're doing in the class until grades are finalized. We had neither our second nor our third midterm back going into the final. For the first midterm that we got back after over two months, he refused to upload the key. I have never received a reply to any email I have ever sent to him. Avoid at all costs.

Often skips over examples in order to cover more material, leaving students drowning in so much material with little time spent practicing it until they are given a long homework assignment. Gorkem has a policy that he grades exams within a week of their date; however, he didn't grade the last exam until after the final, leaving no study material.

Mediocre lecturer. Habitually posts new assignments only 2 days before they're due, which screws with all of your previous planning for the week. Incredibly slow grader. Takes an entire week to grade homework (despite having many TAs) and takes an entire week and a half to grade tests. I have never had a professor take such a ridiculously long time

He's great at teaching and the homework is very good, albeit plentiful. However, grades do not come on time which makes it extremely difficult to tell how you are doing - especially when it comes to the exams! An exam from early March is still not back to us yet. It's May 1st at time of review.

A good no-fluff version of teaching. He reads through his slides and works through the different problems with you. A good amount of homework that helps cement what you're learning in your mind. There are readings from a textbook but he covers enough that I've done fine without reading any of them. Exams aren't too bad if you study.

gorkem is the most boring lecturer ever and his homework is almost impossible, which makes the exams easier but still.  he's annoying and has super dry lectures that aren't worth going to, also discrete structures makes no sense

Makes material easy to understand. Lectures can be boring but the material is hard to make fun. Will go over any questions with you and doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions.
