Reviews of professor Tuba Ertas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
professor Ertas responded quickly to all my emails, and made learning during quarantine possible. Hard material, but caring professor who wants to help you learn the material. Gives real world applications in class, and sometimes tells us about her experiences in the field.

good professor. Offers extra credit, class isn't hard if you follow along in class.

Class was online due to COVID, but Dr. Ertas made the class manageable and rewarding. Offers lots of feedback, and genuinely wants to see you do well.

4 exams all & final are all open notes, on each exam there were always just 4 solving problems and the rest were multiple choice, some questions came from the quizzes and hw so make sure to pay attention to those. Attendance was not mandatory but if you had your camera on for each class she will give you extra credit which is nice.

Env Chem is super problem heavy, but I actually feel like i'm learning applicable real concepts. Def make sure you know the prereqs before taking the class. Not an easy A, but Dr. Ertas is accessible and answers emails pretty quickly.

I found lectures engaging and interesting. Includes a lot of videos, and real world scenarios. Class was divided up into lecture, then breakout groups, and problem solving. I would recommend her for this class, and would take more from her. Class had a good flow, and didn't feel too difficult.

I had limited knowledge in biodegradation before this class. Dr. Ertas did very good job. Power point slides were well prepared and EPA case studies were very helpful. Students had to present 5 scientific papers in the class. This helped us to improve the scientific communication and discussion.

One of the better professors I've had. Class is hard, but she does everything in her power to help you do well in the class. Office hours will be your best friend, but professor Ertas is really nice during them, and fun to talk to.

Class was PowerPoint based and consisted of biweekly homework assignments as well as class presentations on various topics of bioremediation. It was very work-intensive but it is a graduate level course. As a class, we would communicate with her when the work load was too much and she would adjust the class for us. Tests were open book based on HW.

Decent professor, reads off the slides too much, and the lecture gets boring, but she's really helpful outside of class. Explained material to me multiple times during office hours, and helps her students with finding real world resources.

The good: extra credit, available outside of lecture, understanding (she'll work with you if somethings going on) The bad: dry lectures, no questions during exam policy, material in general blows Not a class you can slack off in and expect to do well.
