She is the best professor I have ever had!! She truly cares for her students and I think she is the most genuine human ever. She deserves nothing but the best!!

Dr. Akar is very kind and will try to help you any way she can. She could explain the material a little better, however. Other than that, don't think too much and just take Dr. Akar for Java.

Please don't believe who says that she is awful. Unfortunately, students who have problems in courses chooses to blame instructors. She is giving very good exam reviews. If you ask for help, she is always available for assignments or exams. I recommend you to take java from her. I will also take java2 with her.

dont read -ve cmnts, HWs r on what u learn in class, it can be done(copied/cheated) by many ways but she wants u to learn in easy particular way so she is strict about HW, I helped alot of students & hv seen those cheaters' codes, they were awful, I asked but they couldn't explain their own code bcoz they cheated, learn to code if you are in INSY

No actual teaching in class. Any learning is done on your own. Her "teaching" is NOT the way she tests. She won't allow you to use certain things in your HW to waste your time. Don't do the HW and you'll automatically fail even if you're passing. Only way to pass is through the extra credit pop quizzes. Nitpicky on the HW so you'll lose points

Took her for Java 1 and felt like I learned a lot. The course work is fair, you'll have about 5 assignments and it reflects what is taught in class. She gives GREAT reviews with all the information you need to study for the exam (it's filled out for you). Not sure of what my grade will be but I'm expecting either a B+ or A-. LOTS of extra credit!

She has to improve her teaching skills. Basically lectures at her own pace (usually too fast) and you'll have to teach yourself a lot to learn the material. But she does give extra credit that can help. 3 exams, 5 HW assignments and a tough grader, but you'll survive if you read on your own and study outside class.

Dr Akar is a great professor. She makes the material much easier to understand and always helpful and welcoming when it comes to helping students and answering questions.

tests on what she teaches, she codes book examples in class, study that 1 day b4 the class, it will be breeze & learning will be 2ice, no outside class self study or tutor required, TAs r mostly M/PhD students def knows more Java than students in this class, but wont help if u can't write a simple for loop or nested loop or pass arguments in funcs

Ezgi Akar is by far the worst professor at UW-EC. She expects you to interperatw assignments exactly the way she wants but leaves all of the assignment questions open ended so you have to guess. Absolutely terrible.
