Comment:
I thought she was a great prof and her accent wasn't as strong as people are saying. You wouldn't expect it from your first impression, but she's actually quite humorous and interesting. Just make sure you go to every class because the examples will be the exact same as on the tests and exam. If you go to class you'll get an A.

Comment:
Great prof! She is very intelligent when it comes to teaching the subject and does enough examples so you can study them for the tests. Tests are all fair, and if you go to class she will give you hints of what is on the test! And the final was very similar to the review.

Comment:
Initially took this class with a different prof and had to drop it due to the difficulty. Alaca made this class a lot easier to grasp, and I ended up with an 'A' when I took it with her. If you can, take this course with her instead of IB, I went from D to A after switching sections.

Comment:
Tests are extremely fair. Gives questions exactly like the ones we do in class. Copy examples down and study them and you are golden. Gives very good directions and tips on how to solve equations. Math profs often get bad reps as being difficult but its the course not the prof! She does her best to make the course as clear as possible.

Comment:
Has thick accent, and can be hard to understand. Seems that she doesn't herself understand what she is teaching, especially if you ask her a question about what she's copying from her notes onto the board.

Her accent and slow speech might not be best suited to some. Just make sure you follow her slides/chapters and attend the exam review class (the final's exactly the same)

No point paying attention in class. However before every test she provides a test review which will be exactly the same as the test. If you do your homework on your time then it is a very easy class.

All this professor does is read off her slides and occasionally does questions on the board. You are better off attempting to learn from the book. Her tests are okay but the exam reflects nothing of what she teaches.

Comment:
Has thick accent, and can be hard to understand. "is a quarter" means "it equals to", etc. Occasionally seems that she doesn't herself understand what she is teaching, especially if you ask her a question about what she's copying from her notes onto the board. Tests are based on material covered, occasionally same questions as she explained.

Comment:
This prof is definitely not slow when she is teaching. The material itself is quite difficult especially later on in the course regarding Series. You must keep up with the classes and can not afford to miss any. If you want an A, you must do all homework assigned. NOTE: THE HOMEWORK IS MUCH MORE CHALLENGING THAN HER TESTS.

She's a good prof, although her accent is a bit thick and it can be hard to understand her. One great thing about her are her online notes, they're very clear and concise. Don't bother buying a textbook if you get her.

Watch out, she's bad at explaining topics, speaks in a math language only 4th year math students would understand. Tests are fair, and the assignments are helpful, very helpful. Learned everything in the class off peers and the TA.

She's not good at explaining on a level you can easily understand. If you're stuck with her I recommend you learn from the textbook.
