He is not knowledgeable . He doesn't care about the students at all. He puts them under unnecessary extra pressure, and if you complain, it will be worse. His behavior is disrespectful. All same for his lab. The students are suffering in SCVIC lab. Do not fall for his convincing words. STAY AWAY from his lab and course. You'll thank me one day.

I was in the professor's class when my course project evolved into a larger research project with him and led to my first scientific conference presentation as a student. Thanks to his great support. One of his collaborators later hired me in my first job. The professor's influence on my career was crucial.

The prof used a book called Introduction to Machine learning for his lectures, which were recorded in advance and posted online. He LITERALLY read the book for his lectures Didnt even come up with his own examples! We know how to read English btw! He tried to avoid any live sessions with us so he doesnt get any questions that embarrass him

Besides being very knowledgeable and technical, Professor Kantarci is a very inspiring, encouraging, and helpful person which you don't see very much these days. He has a great group of grad students with great projects at hand. You will consider yourself lucky if you get the chance to work under his supervision. He is simply the best person.

I'm on an internship this semester and I got through the interview from what i learned in this course. The prof has a great personality, very respectful to students and answers questions in depth not just swishes away like some other profs.

Avoid this subject if possible. We ended up learning almost nothing. However, the professor very kind and lenient.
