Reviews of professor Bilal Erturk

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
My goodness Erturk is boring. He is a very smart guy, but a very monotonous lecturer and it is almost impossible to pay attention. His exams aren't impossible if you study practice problems, but his lectures don't help all that much. Take another prof if you get bored in class easily or have ADHD.

Very much a project based class, if you don't do well on group projects your grade will be low. The first two exams are doable but the final exam is much harder and is taken on excel. Overall I think he's a great professor and always willing to help if you don't understand something.

Greatest professor ever. Be prepared of large curves for the exams. Just do the homework and you won't be surprised if you have an A.

A good prof but lectures could very much get dull. Exams are a little tough, so you need to understand concepts more than processes for his class. The first group project was really long, but he was always available outside of class to give us feedback on it amongst other things. Just stay on top of your work and you should be fine in his class.

Super nice guy and talks really slow, so be prepared. The class is meant to be like a discussion so you need to read the book before class. Exams have some nice curves. I took it over the summer and it was a breeze.

This professor was the worst professor I have had at Texas A&M. He is an extremely tough grader, overloads his student, and doesn't teach how to do the material on the tests. His final is also cumulative on Excel which is not used throughout the course or other midterms. He puts students on the spot in front of class and asks them hard questions.

He just loves yapping in class, he doesn't want to solve any numerical problems in the class but the exam will be filled with numerical. Wish you luck.

Erturk was a tough but fair professor. Tests are really hard (averages were low C's usually), but they aren't weighted very heavily, quizzes and hw are worth almost as much. The group project sucks so get started on that early. Really nice guy that's always willing to help outside of class and during office hours, but lectures can be very dull.

The lectures are useless. He doesn't teach very well. Go over the textbook and you'll get a C in the class.

Professor Erturk is a great professor who knows a lot about finance. He is always able to help answer questions after class or in his office hours. He definitely cares about his students and wants you to do well. Take his class!
