Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Do not take any class with Okan. He just doesn't know how to teach properly. Lectures are boring and I found it is more beneficial for me to study by myself rather than attending his lecture.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
He has a difficult time adapting his teaching to the course audience, for instance when explaining mathematical concepts. His assignments were also more difficult and time consuming than was appropriate for a 1 credit course.
