Summer 2020 - I took this class during summer session A 2020 (things may be different because summer + covid), but the breakdown was the better score between 20% quizzes, 30% midterm, 50% final or 20% quizzes, 15% midterm, 65% final. There were 5 quizzes total and the lowest 2 were dropped. Professor Ozel is incredibly helpful and clear. He would handwrite the notes for the entire chapter beforehand and upload them to ccle so you could follow along during lectures. His notes were organized and provided clear definitions and many examples. He was always willing to answer questions and re-explain concepts. Although there were no homework assignments, he provided a list of homework questions from the textbook that you can practice from. His quizzes and exams were fair. Overall, I really enjoyed this class, and I would definitely take professor Ozel again!

Winter 2020 - Professor Ozel is a great professor- very nice, helpful and gives pretty fair exams. The class itself isn't terribly difficult and is a mix between some history, and mostly the origins of math and proofs for elementary theorems and processes (like the quadratic formula). He would give optional homework, and his tests were fair/representative of homework questions. He's helpful in office hours and cares about his students. Definitely recommend him for 106 and any other math class

Summer 2020 - Overall, this class was fun to take and Professor Ozel is very understanding and accommodating of current circumstances. I was doing well in the class until the final, which I think is partially my fault. As another poster mentioned, there are weekly quizzes, 5 in total, and the lowest 2 are dropped. The midterm was a little tougher than the quizzes, but the average was very high, and I don't know if he overcorrected for the final but I found it brutal, but that could be because I lost all motivation towards the end of the quarter. If you stay on top of your stuff, it's a very doable class.

Summer 2021 - Awesome prof. Tests were long because of COVID but they were fair and tested material we learned. Everything was so clear and reasonable and sometimes funny- every topic was explained very well and each exam and some lectures had great LOTR and pop culture references. Just know calculus and your 170E/170A/Stats 100A material decently enough and you should be fine, just remember to do the not-assigned practice problems. (P.S. Take this instead of Stats 100B any day, it's the same material minus some linear algebra stuff but explained soooo much better. I took the first couple weeks of 100B and everyone kinda hated it.)

Spring 2019 - Amazing professor who cares deeply about the students' learning and well-being. We need more professors like Dr. Ozel, especially in the FAM major, who gives clear lectures and illustrate time value of money through various diagrams. I greatly appreciate his help and patience during OH. He grades pretty leniently on exams, which are fair and preps decently for the FM Exam.

Spring 2020 - Ozel is the best professor in the math dept. he knows the material well and cares about his students and it shows in the way he lectures. he is also very helpful in office hours and is encouraging of questions during lecture. he does give a lot of homework but it prepares you well for the exams so it is worth it to do. I highly recommend this class with ozel!
