Comment:
Good class, great teacher. Ismail was available for consultation whenever I had any questions regarding exams or the term paper, and he was always beyond friendly with all of the students - even when it was clear we were not entirely up to date in our readings. The class was occasionally dull, but I learned quite a bit and the texts were excellent.

Comment:
Ismail is a great guy and a passionate teacher. His Intro to Islam class required careful reading of the required texts, and was conducive to open debate and inquiry during class. What I liked most about Ismail was his friendliness and helpfulness during his office hours.

Comment:
While some (see below) knock Dr. Acar for his limited english, he is nonetheless a great teacher. He, unlike many other professors at Bard, doesn't let his ego interfere with his teaching. The class is extremely well-organized and moves a steady but manageable task thanks to his devotion to both the subject matter and his students. Great class.

Comment:
Ismail's a kind guy. He comes to class prepared and guides discussion really well, despite students' lack of interest. Sometimes his language barrier (he's from Turkey) confuses the class a little bit, but it's usually just a mispronunciation--it doesn't hinder the class. He's not demanding, but will certainly enhance the FYSEM experience.
