Comment:

Easily my fav prof! So kind, caring & always shows up with a positive attitude. He has a passion for the field & genuinely cares about his students. In lecture, he usually hints to concepts & questions that could be on the midterm & final (both are multiple choice!) An easy essay about food insecurity & 2 fair exams! Show up + put in effort pass!

I really enjoyed this class! Professor Koc is really caring and tries to help his students out as much as possible. He also emphasized understanding concepts rather than memorizing, so he consistently posted his lecture notes so people to could listen instead of scramble getting notes down which was pretty great!

Hes a decent guy, but if you're looking for an easy course, skip this one. TA's mark hard and exams are tricky (he uses an "all the above" in every question that messes everyone up). If youre looking for an enjoyable course stay away from this one, it stresses you out more than helps you're GPA.

Really cares about his students. Isn't a super-easy grader, but tries to make everything manageable. Super easy midterm test and exam (format, this doesn't mean you don't have to study). He is adorable and hilarious, so I definitely recommend him.

Mustafa is such a sweet man. He makes all his lectures hilarious and bases the tests and assignments almost entirely off the lecture slides which are also posted. He even usually hints at important concepts or slides which are likely to be on the exams. Great prof!

Mustafa is such a cute guy! On the first day of class, he brought everyone desserts and I immediately fell in love! If you're interested in SOC105 ensure that you're ready for assignments and despite the prof's understanding personality, his TA's are hard markers (he totally knows it, though). And, definitely attend class!

Lectures were ridiculously boring.. content is pretty interesting. He is a very nice guy and very understanding when it comes to workload, but TAs grade VERY tough (only enough to pass) and tests are much harder than a SOC course need be

Dude is funny and passionate about what he lectures. There is a midterm and final (both multiple choice) and an essay. You can tell Mustafa really wants you to succeed, not just in the course, but in learning and becoming a well-rounded individual overall. The work itself was pretty easy and very interesting. Definitely one of my favourite profs.

Fantastic professor. SO engaging and genuinely cares about his students. I personally felt as though if I had an issue or concern regarding the class or an assignment, I could 100% go to him about it. Great prof, great class. Would 100% take again with Professor Koc.

He's a very reasonable man! His lectures are always very clear and engaging. He is always open to student feedback regarding the midterm and final, and his TAs tutorials are funny and engaging. They are also helpful if you attend the tutorials regularly. Great course overall, Mustafa's final lecture of the semester was so inspirational

This was probably one of the most depressing classes I've ever taken. It really makes you not want to eat anything and to give up on society but Mustafa is good at teaching it. He's a reasonable guy and is very fair, not too hard of a marker if you do the work. But seriously, it's upsetting.
