Comment:
I took Geveci for MATH 252, don't take him. His accent is extremely thick and I did not learn a thing in his large lecture. His class is basically a self-study class but the only good thing about it is that the problems in his textbook contain the exact problems that are going to be on the exam!

Easy Class. Terrible Teacher. He is the single worst teacher I have ever had. Don't bother going to his lectures they're just a waste of time. Make sure to always to to the TA session once a week. You'll have to teach basically everything to yourself but it is do-able. Make sure to do the practice tests

Comment:
You're doing the same thing the whole semester: epsilon delta proofs. Honestly, Geveci should have failed half of the class. He was generous with grading, with points, and with problems. So it isn't hard, but the class is painful in other ways. I felt like the class was extremely rigid. Also he wants you to buy his textbook.

No homework. 5% extra credit if you miss no more than 3 lectures. He knows the material, but lectures are NOT helpful. His test outlines are extremely useful as they are very similar to tests. Memorization of some proofs required. Given free textbook with solution manual. Study the outlines, attend problem section with TA and you will be well off.

Geveci is the worst professor I've ever had at SDSU. As a math major, most classes are extremely challenging but still fair, except this one. Nothing he says in lecture is relevant to the class, and often makes things more confusing. Get ready to teach this entire subject to yourself, including memorizing countless 3-page proofs for tests. Avoid!!

Comment:
Geveci is really knowledgeable when it comes to math, he definitely knows his stuff. The problem with this is he goes through everything very quickly and with very little explanation of the basic concepts-- you need to be ready to teach yourself because of this, although his (free) book is pretty decent, and he gives you the solutions.

Lectures did not help. You will have to teach yourself. His exams are almost the same as his practice exams and problems in his book. No surprises. Study all the problems in the book that he assigns and you will pass. You will have to put in work but all the problems are pretty straightforward. Got an A- and math is not my strongest area. Good luck

Easy class. Do homework problems and the practice exams he posts on Blackboard. The exams are nearly identical to both of those.

Comment:
He is really knowledgeable, but he lectures terribly; the lectures are not structured and hard to follow. I started to not even go to the lectures and only to the problem sessions and still passed. He started taking attendance in the middle of the semester and gave 5 EC points to whoever did not miss more than two lectures.

Terrible professor. Created his own textbook, based on his own teaching experience, but it contains multiple typos and inconsistencies. Lectures are boring and incomprehensible. His accent and old age are key factors in how bad he teaches. You're better off with another teacher, or teaching yourself throughout the semester.

He knows his math. Teach yourself. Tough grader. Hwk assigned but not graded, grade based entirely on 3 exams at 22% each and 1 final at 34%, UCSD summer math is similar. Teach yourself or fail. For testing.... no calculator, brief notes on unit circle stuff provided, YOU need to memorize a bunch of other unnecessary references. Don't take!

This class is a tough class but it is not because of the professor. Calc 3 is a tough class. period. Geveci doesn't get enough credit and is constantly criticized for his teaching, however if you are good at teaching yourself you will get an A in the course. Exams are PARALLEL to practice exams. 3 midterms and a final. clear grading. I RECOMMEND

Comment:
He would read directly from the book he read or write an example on the board then end up saying something was wrong and to stick with the book. During lecture someone asked a question, he turned to the screen and continued to read from his book. The tests are mostly memorization of the proofs and definitions. He does provide a study guide.

Comment:
This semester grades were based off grades only. No homework or quizzes. Reason is because no one attended his boring and unproductive lectures and Tunc got upset. Midterm grades were 60MT1, 50MT2, 70%MT3. Overall just read the book and practice A LOT. My favorite memory was when he emailed the class after a MT to point out a typo on his exam.

There's no homework or participation points. Everything is based on tests and good luck trying to understand him. You will have to teach yourself because he's not great at explanations. Also, try to find his book online, it has many typos but if you have it, it'll help you understand what you need to know for tests.

Comment:
The lectures are not helpful, you will learn much more practicing problems and understanding mechanics that way; I mean, really, he reads off his book (with typos). Student questions brushed off to the side. So no one attends his lectures, and then it seems because of that he's merciless and won't curve or drop a test. Averages are low as heck too.

Comment:
He is very smart but he doesn't know how to teach a room full of students. His lectures only consisted of reading the textbook to the class. He wrote his own book, there is errors on almost every other page. He doesn't curve but he set the grade percentages slightly lower. Would not suggest unless can teach yourself and are willing to work hard.

Don't take this class in sequence. Come back for it later and it will be a piece of cake. Homework is not collected, but just do it. I think he's past his prime. He's super old, can't hear anything, and doesn't make complete sense until you do work on your own.

Geveci is a professor that is very knowledgeable and I respect him for that. Still, sometimes his lectures can be very confusing, but that isn't all his fault. If you want the most out of his lectures, never fall behind in the book or you will not understand Calc III. You can do it, but won't understand it. Geveci is also a very fair professor.

compared to other prof provided for the course, take geveci!! You won't have to take notes if you have the book& bring it to class. tests are similar to the practice exam. do all the homework (only assigns it for half the semester). 3 exams, 1 final, 1 dropped exam. TRY to ace the FIRST exam& you won't stress that much for the rest of the semester.
