Comment:

Try to ask him questions during the lecture; he will interrupt you and try to answer before you finish the question. He says you don't need the book only his powerpoints, but most don't make much sense without the visuals provided from the book. You will not know your grade going into the final. Tells you to study assignments he hasn't even graded.

Comment:

Dr. Ugur's class is difficult because you have to teach yourself. He is a nice man, but he basically reads off slides or puts on a youtube for class. Exams are tough, and he doesn't curve the tests (at least not this semester). He does not grade much until the end of the semester, so that makes things harder. Also shows up late class every day.

His accent is extremely heavy. HIS NOTES ARE BROKEN ENGLISH. the homework he gives in 341 is so ridiculous, he even signed a project when there was 2 weeks of classes left on top of the other work! He has no choice BUT to curve grades! but he gets a pass from others because he's nice right? so they say. Good luck incoming classes, you'll need it.

I've taken Ugur several times and it is the same situation every time. VERY slow to grade, you won't know your grade the entire semester. Hard to learn from. All work is on-time if you just turn it in. You will get used to his accent, not a big deal. Allows note sheet on exams. If you're looking for an easy A, and to not learn much, take him.

Easiest professor in the IT/CPS department. Very generous curving of grades (my exams were always marked up and down in red pen and I still got Bs). You won't understand what he says or what you're doing half the time, but if you in minimal effort, you'll pass.

Professor Ugur is by far one of the best professors I have had for my major at Central. Gives really good feedback and good at debugging as well. Accessible outside class and debugs well. Provides good feedback.

Comment:

Ugur is a very friendly guy and he is very knowledgeable but he is next to impossible to understand with his heavy accent. He gives difficult tests but they're often open book so there's little to worry about. He is always willing to help outside of class but his lectures are somewhat pointless because he drones on and it's hard to understand.

Comment:

I've put Ugur down as a "5" for helpfulness, since he'll always improve your grade and accepts all work as "on time". That said, he isn't helpful in the sense of teaching. He often just reads word-for-word from the book, and then posts the assignment from the book online for labs. It's essentially self-study. Always cheerful and warm, though.

Comment:

He doesn't read the lab reports. As long as you hand something in, you'll get 100%. No attendance policy, and before each exam you get a takehome quiz which he gives you the answers to, and the exam has almost the exact same questions (and you can use a sheet of notes during exams). You won't learn anything in this joke of a class.

Doesn't really care about the class at all. His lectures he's basically reading from the book and we are required to do our labs (which should take around three hours each) in one hour and he doesn't help much at all. He grades really easy though. It's a class where if you just want to get it done with, this is the one for you.

Not a good teacher. Spent 3 weeks teaching a diagramming method that's not used in the field, and based all his tests on it. Lots of busy work in assignments and exams. Gives really lousy lectures. Has on many occasions handed out HW/tests and left the classroom, and doesn't come back until after the last bell. Avoid if you want to learn.

Ugur is an easy teacher, he really sets you up nicely to get an A. provides you with everything you need, just be ready to teach yourself. Really lax on due dates, so you won't stress too hard. Simple A.

Impossible to understand, He was gone for a day and we had another professor, and in that one day I learned as much as I had in what had taken him 2 weeks. Great guy and will help with anything but be prepared to learn how to do it all on your own

He's a great and helpful guy. If you ever need help and you email him he is always willing to work with you. We didnt have to turn in any of our projects until the end of the semester really. If you dont understand (even on an exam) he will help you out. Great guy for 110.

This guy is awesome. A little disconnected at times but he still tries. Easy class and he gives you plenty of time to do everything. My favorite CPS teacher yet.

Good guy, offers extra credit when exams are low. His class is rewarding very rewarding. :P He does have a thick Russian accent but most times it doesn't get in the way. Assigns a lot of programs to be done in class.

Read the book, it helps. Gives great review sheets for exams. If the avg is a C, extra credit given. It seems that failing would take such a laziness that anyone could pass as long as they turned in assignments eventually.

Nice guy. Teaches Visual Basic like it is the first time he's ever heard of it. Students have to correct him frequently. VB skills are not very well developed. Only take him if you know what you are doing pretty much, and can learn on your own. But still, he's a good guy.
