Reviews of professor Cagla Yildirim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr.Y actually cares about her students, definitely recommend her and would take her again. Exams are hard, but study the quizzes and you'll be fine. Her extra credit opportunities help you build your resume so take advantage of those.

I understand that with COVID-19 going on everyone is a bit more on edge. I respect the instructors so much for all of the adjustments they had to make, but professor Yildirim had an attitude for almost the entire semester. She became easily annoyed, and the class could feel the tension. It made lectures very uncomfortable and difficult to attend.

Dr. Y is such a great person. She is kind and that reflects in her grading. Not a super difficult grader, but be expected to give quality work. The class is basically all quizzes, exams, and one group report/presentation. If you take her for a 9am class she'll bring coffee and donuts (some of the time). Lectures are a little dry but manageable.

Dr. Y's class is pretty straightforward- there are chapter quizzed, exams, and one big group project. She will be on you about starting your group project pretty early on and will require your group to meet with her. She also offers a number of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.
