Cihan Artunc

This course was co-taught with Professors Artunç and Gumuscu. The interdisciplinary blend was cool because you examined the same topics/issues from both political science and economics angles. More history-heavy than I anticipated but I ended up loving it. Learned a lot and found all of the content interesting and complelling.

Artunc is a fantastic and highly engaging professor, and his ratings should definitely be higher! While the material can be tough, he offers amazing resources, including past practice exams, very easy quizzes, generous grading on the paper, and a dropped exam. The only downside is that he sometimes rushes through lectures and goes off on tangents, leaving a few important exam models a bit under-explained. To counter this, just go to his office hours and thoroughly review the problem sets. Overall, it's an excellent class.

This class was extremely interesting and Artunc is really a fantastic teacher. His lectures were really fascinating, he was a very engaging teacher and review sessions specifically before the exams he did an excellent job reviewing the content. The course is somewhat difficult, but he gives prior exams that are really great at helping you prepare for exams. The quizzes were very easy, the paper he grades super generously and for the exams he drops an exam. Overall, this class is absolutely great, but the biggest issue is that Artunc sometimes rushes lectures and can go off track so certain models that are important for exams he does not always explain thoroughly to fix this meet him in office hours and review the problem sets. His reviews should be much higher!
