HNRS 321 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Elective 2:21 am, Mar 23, 2009 Report Evaluation |
Dr. Alptekin cares about you learning as much as your mother. She sees the best in people from the first day of class. Dr. Alptekin is a great person to be around and brings energy and excitement to every class. The HNRS 321 lecture is a nice break from the research project. I'm sure I could have been pushed twice as hard in this class, but she really wanted students to see the fun and creativity in the honors program and research. | |

IME 545 Graduate Student Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 4:40 pm, Jun 14, 2006 Report Evaluation |
There is truth in all of the prior reviews about Dr. Alptekin. Although, a few of them are more harsh than deserved. I agree that not all students are treated equally. Dr. Alptekin is unable to keep an open mind with (and listen to) people she has had disagreements with in the past. Dr. Alptekin cares deeply that her students learn, but I would encourage her to better seperate personal and professional issues on the job. I believe the grade that I received was fair considering that my other class (PolyHouse) dominated my schedule this Spring at IME 545's expense. However, I do have concerns in general about her "fuzzy' grading system, especially considering the above-mentioned unequal treatment. IME 545 was a good course. We learned about the emerging research in simulation as well as completed a practical real-world simulation project. It's unfortunate that IME 545 takes place during Spring 545 when it must compete for time with PolyHouse and graduation requirements. Other than that, I recommend the course. | |

IME 545 Graduate Student Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 8:47 am, Jun 14, 2006 Report Evaluation |
As mentioned in the previous review, Dr. Alptekin is very unorganized and does not stick to the syllabus. I'm not sure how exactly she grades but I definitely noticed favoritism and strong judgement upon students. Her judgements more often than not offend the students. In return the students have no respect for her and then don't want to do anything in the class. She mentioned a few times her concern for the polyratings reviews, obviously she cares more about that than students learning experience through her class. Dr. alptekin even stated one time that she was glad did so many article readings so that way she didn't have to teach the class. She constantly judges students and often doubts their abilities...by the end of the quarter I don't think any students cared or respected her or her class. She's a nice lady, not sure on her intentions (good or bad) but don't take her class if possible. | |

IME 420 Graduate Student Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 12:37 pm, Mar 30, 2006 Report Evaluation |
Dr. Alptekin is a terrific person, has a good sense of humor, and indeed cares that the students learn and enjoy the material. However, she has poor organizational skills. For example, there were errors on both the midterm and final in content and grading. She gives into pressure from the class too easily, and the class falls behind on material. Her teaching style is very broad and touch-feely; that is, she will not give technical detail upon student request. Overall, she is a terrific human being who cares about students, but needs to work on organization and technical communication. | |

IME 462 Senior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 7:38 pm, Apr 7, 2003 Report Evaluation |
Being the department head and trying to teach does not work for her! she also has a lot of favoratism towards certain students, specially those whose's parents are on the board of directors! She really needs to learn to manage her time for all the students not just those three whose's parents give money to the department! | |

IME 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Support) 3:11 pm, Mar 3, 2000 Report Evaluation |
I am not sure exactly how she grades. The two most major projects we had in the class I got A's on. I missed a few classes, she might grade a lot on attendance. If you are taking this class...make sure to show up, even though it is a 3 hour hell! | |

IME 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 9:48 am, Mar 2, 2000 Report Evaluation |
This class was mostly a waste of time. Dr. Alptekin was not even there most of the time. The class struggled to find interesting speakers each week on some random subject. Each week where was a short quiz that had questions based on what may or may not have been said during a lecture. If you didn | |
