She is mostly discussion-based and makes the class extremely interesting and collaborative. There are reflection writings, which are fine, and a few reflection papers, which are pretty easy to write. The readings are interesting, and it's never too much to complete. There is barely any work outside of class, and she understands if you can't make it to class. Best professor, she is the nicest and sweetest I've ever had. Definitely take this class!!!
Vasfiye Toprak HNUH268R Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/08/2025	Such a great professor! Very interesting class without being to stressful or heavy on the workload. She is very knowledgable about what she is teaching and makes class fun and engaging. Mostly readings and discussions within the class, as well as reflection posts and sometimes small research projects. Overall a great class to take for honors, and she is an amazing teacher.

She’s very lenient but you just have to communicate your needs. Lots of different learning opportunities to help the class stay engaged like a museum trip and in class games. Overall would highly recommend !

Each reading has a section that defines a homeland, and every reading is unique and different. There really isn't any sort of work other than that for the most part, other than in class discussion and occasional research. Definitely a great class to take for your honors course, because of the low time commitment and the engagement.

We have readings about different countries in the world and connect those texts to the core concepts of the class. There isn't any difficulty with the assignments if you just read the text. We played a board game about creating a homeland, which was fun. Also, you go on a field trip to either the Smithsonian or the American Dream museum in DC.

Most of the work was readings about sociology and the idea of a homeland that you did before class. The final was almost entirely done in class except for a few interviews of your peers, and we don't have to go in during finals week. Would recommend.

It really makes you think about the readings which are mostly entertaining. There aren't any tests or quizzes and most of the assignments are just creating discussion questions based on the readings. Classes are fun and there are some great activities to keep things fresh. I would definitely recommend this course.

The class is quite simple, pretty much just looking at readings and discussing with the class (with an occasional one slide presentation). No essays, quizzes, or exams. We even had a class field trip to DC. Definitely recommend taking this class with Professor Toprak.

Most of the readings are interesting and discussions are fun and engaging bc it is a small class. We also got to play a world building game and go on a field trip. I would take this class if you want an honors class that is interesting and not too much pressure.

The readings are sociological papers about homelands, American narratives, and memoirs. There's a lot of breaking up into groups for discussions and occasionally in-class research, and you sum up each class with a reflection. She gives time to work in class on the project at the end where you conduct and analyze interviews.
