Reviews of professor Anthony Tanaydin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The absolute worst professor and experience I have had in my career as a student. Professor Tanaydin is extremely judgmental, arrogant, and has not once answered a question I have asked in class. He doesn't have a grading scale and doesn't even know what SMU abides by. He just accuses students of cheating for no reason and has a terrible attitude.

NEVER TAKE TANAYDIN. This class was basically my parents paying for me to teach myself. He is extremely passive aggressive. He gets angry at the students for not understanding what he is teaching, his grading scale is not clear, and the homework does not correlate with what he teaches or tests on. Tanaydin is by far the worst teacher at SMU.

Dr T is one of the greatest professor that I had during my graduate program. The class was supposed to be hard but he made it easy by demystifying complex concept and always there for support. He has a ton of industry experience which he used to make the class material more relevant to a real business problems.

Dr. Tanaydin is a wonderful and caring professor. If a student is willing to put the time and take ownership of his/her own learning, which at the master's level is expected, then you will really enjoy his class. He has a wealth of knowledge and support materials. Dr. Tanaydin is one of the most accessible professors I have met.

Massively disorganized and completely fails at preparing you for the exams. The professor refuses to answer basic questions about the material and deadlines are never clear each week. You're going to have to beg multiple time for basic asks like feedback on your assignments so you can improve. The worst professor I've ever had in my college career.

Dr. Tanaydin is one of the best professors I ever had. He makes the homework relevant instead of hard work. He'll help you do whatever you need from concepts he went over in class to other stats fields you are interested in. He'll also try (and most likely succeed) to make you choose a career path in the data science field.

Dr T is by far the best professor Ive ever had. I always research LinkedIn before I sign up for a section, and Dr T had amazing reviews, namely from students who said he truly wanted you to be able to learn the material. He is always just a text away if you need him. Hes the guy running along with you in a long race saying you got this!

DR T has a very good character of what graduate program needs, heavily focused on enabling students to get the concept rather than harassing and belittling students of missing homework. He focuses on creating interest on the subject matter , if you like the course, you will learn more. Gives credit for your effort fairly. I will always choose him

Absolutely shambolic. Worst professor I've ever encountered. Disorganized and disinterested.
