Taylan was a great professor. He genuinely cared how his students learned. The tests were somewhat difficult, as I feel the questions were ambiguous at times. However, Taylan fully took that into consideration and graded accordingly. I found the lectures very interesting and his humor kept the lectures light. I fully recommend Taylan as a professorRate My Professors ↗
He really cares about his students and makes class very enjoyable! He communicates with the class very well and understands we have a life outside of school and genuinely cares about our well-being. Very approachable about grades and works with you if there is a concern. Definitely take another class with him!Rate My Professors ↗
Eye-opening class! Though grading not super clear, Taylan handles a tough topic very well. He was very good in connecting his class to relevant issues on campus and beyond.Rate My Professors ↗
