Really well prepared and helpful in her explanations of the topics. Wish she gave more practice problems for the skills tests. Going to office hours can really help if in a large lecture.

Professor Yavuz is really nice and wants you to succeed. However, her lectures can be boring and her accent is hard to understand. She moves through the material quickly and picks favorites. She is not bad, but I'd try someone else first.
