Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
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 professor

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!

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.

This course really opened my eyes to the race relations in the United States. It was great to have him as professor for the class.
