Hatice Sahinoglu MATH240 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/30/2023	Not the best teacher I've had, but probably doesn't deserve as low a rating as she has on here. For Math240, she gave three exams and a final, each worth 20% of the grade. Exams were almost always easier than the practice sets she posted beforehand, and were generally straightforward. 8% of the grade was quizzes, but they were online and she allowed two attempts on each. MATLAB projects weren't particularly difficult and also made up 8% of the grade. Homework was worth 4% of the grade and she only assigned a few problems a week, usually no more than an hour of work. Since this was her first time teaching 240 I'm cutting her some slack, but she wasn't very good at explaining the content and didn't provide much better explanation than the textbook did. It's possible she's just not very good at teaching, but I'd expect she improves as she gets more experience teaching this class. She is very kind and accommodating, and it was nice that she didn't assign a crazy amount of work outside of class. This class in general isn't the most difficult when it comes to math, so even if she is the worst professor for the class, getting the grade you want is still very doable.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH240 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/27/2023	Honestly, not as bad as everyone is saying. Her speaking is completely understandable, and her writing is legible, as long as you sit in the front half of the class. She covers material well enough, and her discussions have online quizzes that are difficult but solvable from the material covered in lecture.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/09/2023	Honestly, I think these scores are really low when she is totally fine. Go to lecture and take notes or ask for someone else's. There was a few times I couldn't follow what she was doing because it was a proof but you never need to be able to do it on your own so it's chill. I have her for STAT400 and she lets us have a formula sheet that we can make so I just wrote down all the formulas and the first midterm was easy. There's homework every week and it's solid practice. No quizzes.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a C- Anonymous 05/28/2023	If you have another choice of professor, take it. While she isn't the worst professor, it's hard to pass her class. Luckily she gave mine a huge curve, but I did not enjoy the experience.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/19/2023	She's just not good. Her lecturing is disorganized and difficult to understand. The test average is extremely low as a result. There's a generous curve in the class as a result, but this is just a band-aid over the real problem. Take someone else.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Anonymous 05/18/2023	Professor Sahinoglu knows the material well and has a friendly personality. She does have a thick accent but it is still straightforward to understand what she is saying. That will hardly be the greatest challenge if you take STAT400 with her. The problem is that she is a good mathematician but an awful teacher. Lectures are very confusing and easily over half of her notes seem to have little to nothing to do with the material you'll need to know for quizzes and exams. She wastes time rambling about things that don't matter and get easily distracted. You will mostly be learning the material from the textbook and any useful outside sources you find. Her study recommendations for exams are often misleading and some of it never even gets tested on - or worse, you get tested on something that was never thoroughly explained in lecture or wasn't recommended for study. All of this results in rock bottom means scores for exams, forcing people who aren't wizards to pray for the grade curve to be in their favor. I do not recommend you take STAT400 with Professor Sahinoglu, unless you're already well versed at probability/statistics or want to gamble on surfing the curve. Your best bet is to get a section with a different professor, or if Sahinoglu is your only option, take STAT400 later.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/16/2023	Wow, such a good teacher!!! not! I learn nothing from this class, difficult to understand her, and she doesn't show up to her own office hours???! Professor Leonard (from YouTube) carried me in this class.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT401 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/15/2023	The lectures in this class focused heavily on proving why things worked, which was not really tested on so that was annoying. If you come to class consistently then the material isn't too bad and you should be able to do well. There was a curve for this class because most didn't do too well on the tests.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a B- Anonymous 05/10/2023	Worst professor, no cap. Bros notes r so bad, she writes on paper and never zooms in and her handwriting is trash. I sat in the 3rd row and still had difficult seeing what she was writing. Also her accent is a little difficult to get by. She doesn’t teach everything on the syllabus. The book is a better professor than her. She said her averages on the exams was high(80-90s) and the first midterm had a 60ish average and the second was a 52. I recommend to either take any other professor or to just take the course the following semester.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/10/2023	She’s a wonderful person but teaching might just not be for her. When the average for a midterm was 52 for her and 80 for every other stat professor then you know that there is something wrong. A lot of people drop this class for good reason. Take anyone but her if you can.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/10/2023	Averages for exams were in the 50’s and adds a 20 point curve.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a D Anonymous 05/08/2023	Horrible. Unclear lectures, horrible handwriting, provides irrelevant review material. Grade distribution is 95% exams (2 midterms and a final) and 5% online quizzes. Does not do practice problems, and the discussions are so boring. Her exams are ridiculously hard. If you are naturally good at math you can probably take her and be fine but for someone who actually needs to be taught concepts all the way through, and someone with ADS accommodations, she was an academic death sentence.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/04/2023	I can guarantee that all the reviews shitting on her are from people who did not go to lecture and did not go to discussion. Shocker: people who listen to the professor and what she's teaching, end up doing well on her tests! I never did homework (it was optional) and only studied the two nights before a test, but what I did do was attend every lecture and discussion and pay attention and take notes, and I did extremely well in the tests. Every single question format is thoroughly covered in lecture, so if you just simply attend lecture and pay attention, you should have absolutely no problem passing this class. She explains everything carefully and takes whatever question people have. Great professor.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/03/2023	haticeGOAT absolutely W teacher with a W syllabus and W lecture I definitely learned so much in this class. 100% recommend, especially for you math240 people trying to waitlist in other teachers rn. You should take hatice. Get off the math240 waitlist bruh.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a C+ Anonymous 04/26/2023	Perfectly nice person, but a terrible lecturer. Little to no organization to what she was saying and what she was writing on the board. She would get completely off topic without telling anyone what was and was not something we needed to know for the class. She also had a tendency to start writing proofs without telling us what she was doing or even explaining what the proof was for at the end. If you've taken calc 2 before it is definitely possible to keep up with and learn from her lectures, but if you haven't, you'll have to really rely on the textbook and your TA
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a C Anonymous 04/18/2023	Absolutely terrible. Writes complete nonsense on the board and writes at the speed of light so its impossible to keep up. Also difficult to understand her
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A- Anonymous 03/29/2023	She's not great but I think she gets an overly harsh rep. In the first three units she is decent, but in the last it kind of feels like she drops the ball and doesn't explain the taylor series stuff well at all (mostly relies on textbook ie proof based explanations, which in theory is helpful but in reality is exceptionally difficult to understand, and she doesn't really contextualize it for what a normal college student could grasp). This becomes really bad due to her tendency to mismanage class time and do all the complicated stuff in the last 10-15 minutes. HOWEVER, she is very very nice AND her mismanagement of class time is because she answers questions VERY thoroughly (this is nice but can be problematic because some kids in the class clearly havent taken calc in 3 years and are behind, and i wish her answer would have just been "go to my office hours" and then continue with her lecture, but instead she really tries to help them by re-explaining calc 1 concepts; again, kind of her, but problematic bc we run out of time for the actual class content) ALSO, her class is literally graded on a curve, which is pretty redeeming. Not a great teacher, but like, if everyone is confused then everyone is on an equal playing field, and its not like everyone will just get a B. ALSO, she gives way more time for homework than all other professors, like, instead of making it due the night of the lecture she gives you the entire next day as well, which is nice because of the flexibility. IN SUMMARY, you can coast through the first two units, third she teaches well enough but you need to practice, and for the fourth i would look to khan academy or something similar. She's a really nice professor, with pretty easy exams (not technically relevant bc graded on a curve) BUT it means students who are struggling a bit can still do well, and I think she gets a disproportionately bad rep because when she gets really bad is RIGHT AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER, which means that people remember that when writing their reviews and nothing else.
Hatice Sahinoglu Expecting an A Anonymous 03/04/2023	Got an A in the class, but her lectures are definitely difficult to understand and learn from. I mostly read over the textbook to study for the exams and look over the examples she did in class. The TA definitely helps you through it all.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT430 Anonymous 01/10/2023	She is nice but is not the best professor in terms of teaching. Her lectures are boring. You will probably have to learn the material on your own. Her exams are sometimes on SAS and sometimes completely on paper. She releases homework on Friday morning and makes it due Saturday night. She does not give hw extension. The class itself is easy but due to the disorganized lectures, you might find yourself confused. Make friends and work on the projects together. Technically, the hw should not take more than 2 hours. But if you don't put some effort into learning on your own you might find yourself struggling a bit in the beginning. She only helps with hw during the class or in office hours. She does not respond to hw questions via email. There is also a group project at the end where you have to prepare a powerpoint and present to the class. The one pro about her is that she is a generous grader.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/19/2022	I'll say this flat, she isn't a good professor but has fairly simple exams when compared to other professors. Her grading is based off of class rank (the top 30% get As, 30%-70% get Bs, and below 70% get C or lower). Also, the TA's will carry you throughout the semester and I would recommend skipping the lectures since she just rambles on about useless information and only covers things in the last couple of minutes of class. Personally, I think she is the best professor for calc 2 only because she drops some of the lowest hws and quizzes (they are given weakly) and the exams aren't too difficult (averages were around 75% for first 2 and 65% for last 2).
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/17/2022	Hands down the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. Lectures are 50 minutes of nonsensical rambling and incomprehensible scribbles on the chalkboard. Wish my TA taught the class ngl. Nice lady but man I did not learn a single thing from her.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/15/2022	Please avoid her if you can. I'm only getting an A- because I have previous experience with some of the material. Hatice is often incomprehensible and awful at doing practice problems on the whiteboard. My TA does a much better job at teaching, and even my TA acknowledges that Hatice is an incredibly incompetent professor.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a C- Anonymous 12/14/2022	THIS TEACHER IS THE WORST FOR MATH141 DO NOT TAKE HER. Ok so let me start out by saying that the lectures did not help me understand any of the material AT ALL. My TA, who held discussions on two of the days did a superb job of explaining topics to me, however it was not enough. The lectures were just a waste of time and I would write notes that would not make sense to me at all. If you are trying to take this course, I highly advise not taking this teacher.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT401 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/14/2022	lol, literally just follow along with the handouts she gives in class and turn in the homework on time. It's really that easy. 1 star off bc her chalk board handwriting sucks
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/01/2022	DO NOT TAKE HER! Some ppl might be smart but do not know how to teacher. My TA is a better teacher than her and that's the only reason I am surviving in class
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT430 Anonymous 10/14/2022	Absolutely horrendous professor. STAT430 is supposed to be an easy A and straightforward, but her lectures are convoluted, homework assignments are poorly written and vague. If you try to clarify questions, she will simply say just read the question. Had her because the original professor got replaced by her. Avoid her at all costs.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a C Anonymous 10/13/2022	Her teaching is very fast and unorganized
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A Anonymous 09/13/2022	If you have ADHD/ADD like myself please for the love of god do anything you can to not take this class. the notes she writes on the board during lectures are so disorganized, they just look like the kind of work youd do for a homework problem where work isnt required to be turned in. because of this if you daze out or get distracted for even a moment you cant figure out whats happening at all by looking at the board. i tried so hard to pay attention in her class, and im even medicated, but its so frustrating when i daze out for 30 seconds and look back and i cant even tell what order she did her math work in. be prepared to completely self-teach any concepts if youre not good at following things. shes very nice and cares about her students but her lectures are not friendly to anyone, let alone people who have trouble keeping consistent unwavering attention on the board.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/05/2022	Make sure you have taken Calc 2 in high school prior to taking this class, unless you have a ton of time on your hands. I took this class in Fall 2021, and her teaching was not helpful. She is pretty disorganized and her lectures have little to no structure. The textbook for this class is pretty confusing, so having to rely on it was a pain since I did not gain much from lecture. I had taken this class in high school but college Calc 2 is drastically different- there was a lot more application to physics, especially in the first portion of the class, and the integrals were a lot harder. I got two Bs, a D, and an A on her midterms- they were not that hard, although it was difficult to know what to expect and her wording for questions is extremely poor. Her practice exams were also not that helpful, which we did not even receive until the last two exams. The worst part about Dr. Sahinoglu's teaching style is she did not prepare us at all for the final. The average was somewhere in the 40s, and I scraped by with a 50, which gave me a B- uncurved. I ended with a B+, so the curve was generous but did not make up for the fact that the class was taught so poorly. I am not a math genius by any means, but I do feel I could have done better if I had a better professor and I would avoid her if you can. The only thing that saved me in this class was having a good GSS leader, which you'll have to attend if you have Hatice.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Anonymous 04/24/2022	Her exams were pretty easy, however I found the lectures quite useless. She would do stuff without explaining what she is doing. I personally self studied the entire class and ended up with an A-. I stopped going to her lectures, instead, watched YouTube videos to teach me the concepts.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Anonymous 04/21/2022	Take Hatice if you are good at teaching yourself math. Lectures are practically a waste due to the fact that she often spends more time explaining arithmetic than the content that you are actually learning. Her tests are definitely on the easier side, being that we often get cheat sheets for important trig values and most of the questions are straightforward. My TA this semester has been my saving grace, teaching me exponentially more than Hatice.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Anonymous 03/02/2022	Her tests are fairly easy, and that is her only redeeming quality.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/17/2022	I am not going to lie, I thought Hatice was a terrible professor. I will agree with the other reviews that state she is nice, but kindness does not cut it when the professor simply cannot teach. I did not feel like she did a good job with how she answered questions in class. She also frequently just started doing work without explaining what she was doing. Another thing is she would just do proofs that do not help the class at all and if anything make what she is doing more confusing and overall would just waste time in class. I often walked out of lectures confused as to what was going on. Her midterms are not too hard so studying would result in a fine grade on them, but the final was brutal. Thankfully I took this class in high school and doing that mixed with having a tutor and going to GSS sessions before tests made me be able to get an A in her class but I would not say that she is a professor that I would ever want to have again.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/20/2021	For some reference: I took AB and BC in high school I got a 5 on the BC exam but there were complications where I didn't get my score until the middle of the semester so I had to sit through the awful class of 141 even though I could have exempted it all along if the College Board was somewhat competent. I will say that I forgot a lot of the content, so I basically had to relearn it all with Hatice. Hatice is a very interesting professor. For starters, she really is not the best teacher. On one hand, her accent makes it a bit tougher to actually pay attention in class, but on the other hand she really just doesn't teach a lot of important concepts that are integral to the class. She generally goes overtime in lecture which makes it super annoying when you already have a walking conflict and on top of that says to read the rest of the chapter in the book. She is a pretty nice professor when it comes to making up exams and answering questions in class- I was very sick the night before/day of the exam and just had to email her and she let me take a makeup exam which didn't go the best for reasons I'll explain in the next section about exams. Hatice's exams are really medium-difficult but super easy compared to other professors' exams. Basically do the WebAssign homework (which take hours, to be honest), a couple of the suggested practice problems, and the practice exam (BEFORE the lecture preceding the exam because she generally does it as a "review" in class), and you should be good to go for her exams. I realized that her exams were significantly easier than the other professors' when I took that makeup exam and she gave us another professor's exam which literally looked like Chinese to me. I had no idea what was going on, and it was by far my worst grade. Although you might assume that easier exams are great.. they are NOT when it comes to the final, which other posts have mentioned. The mean was a 47 and the high was a 90 which is terrible for 20% of your grade. Overall, don't take Hatice if you can help it, but if you like to self-study most of the content or have taken BC before, and are ready to work extra hard for the final then she's not a terrible professor.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/17/2021	She really is a very nice person but she is not a very good teacher. Her lectures were useless (thank god I had a good TA, good luck if you don't) and keep in mind that the HW may take you a very long time (I did find it useful though). The major issue I have with how she taught the class is that while her tests were incredibly easy, this is a double edged sword because easy tests combined with little to no resources with which to study for the final made the final exam a massacre. The class is half the difficulty found on the final and for reference, the mean grade was a 47 and the high was a 90. Combined with the fact that it is 20% of your grade and she doesn't curve at all (no mercy here) this means that the final will probably drop your grade 5 points easily. She clearly is not teaching to the standards set by the department.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Anonymous 12/17/2021	Very nice lady, but cannot teach to save her life. Everything I learned in this class came from my TA. Best advice I can give is don't go to lectures, never skip a discussion, and take the notes directly from the textbook/khan academy/some other source. Also her grading policies are terrible. Most other 141 professors drop the lowest exam grade, Hatice doesn't. Most other 141 professors also curve all 4 exams, Hatice doesn't curve any of them. Her lack of teaching abilities also left all her students extremely unprepared for the final, especially in the last 2 units.
Hatice Sahinoglu MATH141 Anonymous 11/19/2021	She's Really hard to understand and doesn't explain the material well. It's really hard when the book doesn't explain anything well either. I've mostly learned from the TA's. lean on them heavily.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a C Anonymous 07/09/2021	She is not a good teacher. She tends to ramble quite a bit and her lectures feel like a waste of time. She was also argumentative with students on multiple occasions about providing answer keys to review questions (she refused to provide any answer keys). I mostly learned material from the TAs who were much better at teaching the material than she was.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a B- Anonymous 05/20/2021	Not a good professor for this class IMO. She is clearly very knowledgeable about statistics, and proves everything, so if that style resonates with you then she is probably worth taking. However, for everyone else, she rambles a lot and struggles explaining concepts in english. She is also easily distracted by students asking random questions in Zoom chat that may or may not have anything to do with the material. You can do well in her class by copying down everything she says and writes in lectures, and by reading the textbook, but you will not get a very high quality education in this class overall.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Anonymous 05/18/2021	the midterms and quizzes were alright, but the final was way harder than it needed to be. Pretty much only survived off of the review sessions from the TA. The material isn't even that hard but she makes things way harder than it needs to be and doesn't provide answer keys to practice exams.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Anonymous 05/13/2021	Please do not take her. She does not give answer keys to practice tests that she provides nor does she go over the practice test. Just went over 2 1/2 new sections the within a of the exam. Just do your best to get another teacher. Also rambles during lecture and has very illegible handwriting at times.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a B- Anonymous 04/02/2021	Worst professor I have ever had. Does not care about the students and is very difficult to understand. If you are dead set on taking STAT400 and she is the only option I would recommend just waiting to take it with someone else, its not worth dealing with her.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/10/2020	I thought her lectures were clear, and she went over a lot of examples to show us how to use the formulas. Most of the time she went over each concept/formula multiple times, so I felt pretty laid back/not stressed during lectures. She also gave a set of practice problems every week with solutions. I did notice that only 1/5 of the class showed up to lecture and almost no one came to my discussion section (it was usually me and 2 other people). So that might be why people aren't doing well in her class/coming here to give her a bad review. If you take her class my advice is to copy down everything she writes down in lecture and show up to discussion every week to copy down the problems/solutions there. Do that and you should be fine.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a W Anonymous 12/07/2020	Worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are confusing, grade distribution is extremely unfair (1 quiz question is worth 1% of your overall grade), and she is not accommodating to student concerns.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 11/13/2020	She reviews things in lecture too much. The first 10 minutes of every lecture is worthless. The material is overall really simple so just use the textbook to get 90s on exams.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a W Anonymous 11/10/2020	She is the worst professor I have ever had. I took her online this past semester because of corona (I didn't choose to as her ratings are awful. I was placed in her class instead of the professor I chose because UMD's protocol for this pandemic is to make life as difficult for students as possible). She has a thick accent and has no clue how to go over material. She's incredibly disorganized, makes the material way harder then it needs to be, and does not respond to emails. The TA's were all international students who barely spoke English and were clearly operating on different time zones as they too never responded to email. First W I had to take in my college career and my GPA is a 3.8 and I work my ass off. In short, stay away AT ALL COSTS, and if this is your only option, TAKE IT ANOTHER SEMESTER.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT464 Expecting a B- Anonymous 07/24/2020	Took her during the corona semester so we didn't have a second midterm which made our final worth 50% of our grade. She barely went over the last few topics and then expected us to explain our answers on the final in gory detail. Average for the final was a 63, again worth 50% of our grade, and she barely curved it (+3 points I believe). She does not answer questions very well and is bad at communicating with her students when it comes to due dates for homeworks, etc. After taking this class, I feel as though I know very little about biostatistics and how to apply the math we learned to real life situations.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Anonymous 05/01/2020	terrible lectures, makes class so confusing and exams are nothing like anything we are given in class or discussion. Learn from my mistake and don't take this class with her

Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/11/2018	Only reason why I gave a 2 was because people from Milson's class came to our lectures. That's how I knew that Hatice wasn't the worst. She cannot explain concepts and I learned entirely from the mandatory homeworks and discussions.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT464 Anonymous 06/02/2018	Great professor. She spends alot of time deriving the formula rather than giving you the formula, but if you pay attention, it ends up benefitting you more.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/19/2017	So the class itself was pretty easy up until the last two topics. The averages for both the midterms were good(90 and a 76), and the exams were exactly like the practice exams she gave beforehand. However, after the 2nd exam things started going downhill. I felt that we barely went over the material needed. The final exam focused only on topics after the 2nd midterm and she gave 0 practice on the final exam(she is a new teacher so we had nothing to go off of). Obviously this explains the insanely low average for the final, 65, and she refused to create a fair curve. For some reason she believes a 95% or higher is an A but a 60 is a C-, very unfairly weighted. Avoid this teacher unlesse you think you can get a 95+ on all assignments/quizzes. In addition, I also felt that the TAs had no idea what the professor was trying to do so discussions were helpful but often didn't relate at all to what we learned.
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Anonymous 12/18/2017	Lack of examples, goes way too in depth proving formulas. Gave us literally nothing for the final (no practice exam, no information at all. Shocker that the average was a 65 even though the first exam where she gave us stuff averaged a 90). Avoid if possible
Hatice Sahinoglu STAT400 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/19/2017	Lectures focus on proofs and proving the formulas that we use. When it comes to doing examples in class she does not really cover them too much, but assigns homework on webassign every week that usually covers the topics in class. STAT400: The class in general is very easy. I personally did not find a need to go to class, just completed HW assignments and read the textbook occasionally.
