Reviews of professor Gulfem Yucelen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I absolutely loved taking thermodynamics with Professor Yucelen. She really cares about her students and provides amazing lectures with great example questions. 10/10 professor, no complaints

Dr. Yucelen is great for thermodynamics! Although her energy and enthusiasm does drain with the class as the semester progresses (she gets her energy from the class), she is nonetheless still very helpful. Not only that, but her tests are textbook problems, so as long as you do all the practice problems, you can get a 100.

Everyone loves Dr. Ipek. She brings positive energy to the classroom and genuinely wants her students to succeed. All the material on her exams is in the PowerPoint slides that she lectures over. If you go to class and listen to lecture, and then refresh by re-reading the PowerPoints for a couple hours before the exams, you'll do fine.

Made Thermo extremely easy. Her exams are just like the homework and are a piece of cake if you don't cheat on the homework. She's very funny and also cute, also makes learning Thermo fun. Three exams were 60% of grade, 30% homework and the 10% was an easy group project. Posts all of the notes online. Definitely take her if you want an A in Thermo.

Took Yucelen for Thermo and Materials and she was great in both. Made both subjects easy to understand and was not too tough. Both exams were the same level of difficulty as the work she would provide in class. No textbook but everything she tests on she mentions in class/ in her lectures (records lectures so you can rewatch or if you miss class)

Dr. Ipek is a great professor. It's clear that she wants the class to do well. She gives loads of practice problems and gives clear solutions for them. I suggest study those practice problems and try to understand the concepts behind the problems then you should be fine.

Was a pretty decent professor for the first half of the semester, the second half wasn't great. Her enthusiasm and instruction faded exponentially over the second half of the semester. I get it though, so did my desire to be there. But if you're not gonna thoroughly teach, then maybe you shouldn't thoroughly test....

I took Thermodynamics. The class is only based on tests and attendance. She tries to be funny in class and wants to be liked. She starts puffing, checking the time left during lectures and doesn't finish hard problems. Doesn't explain table problems enough. Have to read the book to get the topic. Her accent is a little hard to understand.
