Reviews of professor Mustafa Akbulut

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Akbulut is a solid choice when it comes to 304.Sometimes his lectures were hard to follow but most of the time he taught well. I felt like I learned the material pretty well. His homework's can be really difficult but the exams are easier.

Lectures and HW give good idea of what's on exams. If something wasn't covered well in lecture, he'll grade easy. This past semester he let us take home one of the exam problems that most of the class really struggled with. Also sometimes his writing is hard to read (some variables look similar), but his explanations are decent. He's a nice dude

Akbulut isn't the best lecturer, but he knows that the material is difficult so he gives lots of partial credit. He tries to apply the concepts to real world problems but doesn't always to the best job. It's mostly just example problems that you'd see on the exams and quizzes. He does care about his students, he tries his best to pass everyone.

Very nice professor and gives plenty of partial credit. Material is very hard but show the steps you take in exams for free response and you will get partial credit. Curves very hard and is lenient. Very nice guy.

Dr. Akbulut is a pretty solid professor for fluid mechanics. While his class can be a bit unorganized, he's extremely helpful with the homeworks and he makes his exams easier than in-class quizzes and homeworks. The class itself is very difficult and he really tries to reward everyone for trying. Overall a super nice guy and a great professor.
