Reviews of professor Yasemin Ipek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A grade has never felt so rewarding. Professor Ipek makes you want to work harder/ push yourself. Get ready to really learn about your work ethic. She creates deadlines so that you can teach yourself how to be organized and she never punishes you for late work - she understands. Rarely do you see a prof telling you to take care of yourself first!

Anth 308 has been the highlight of my semester. It has been very eye-opening about many issues regarding the Middle East region. Professor Ipek's engaging style makes it easy to learn as well. She expects numerous small writing assignments. But they are doable if you read 1-2 hours a week. Nothing too difficult. Highly recommended.

Dr. Ipek loves teaching and deeply cares about her students. She's a lenient grader and understands personal circumstances can inhibit performance. It's been a difficult semester for me and she's been supportive. Many extra credit opportunities. I also appreciate how she pushes us to think more critically and anthropologically.

Best class of my first semester at Mason. She put tremendous effort to class and was very organized and flexible. She even had many guest speakers and asking them a question was worth 2 percent credit. What I also liked is that she gives short assignments only 8 weeks, not every week. Open book exams were also easy. Will definitely take her again.
