Professor Ozel is the best math professor I have had at UCLA. He is very kind and understanding, especially during the recent events, but still maintains a strict load of coursework. His exams are designed fairly and the homework he assigns relates to it. It is clear that Ozel loves his job and loves teaching students. He spent a lot of time preparing the lectures before class and quickly adjusted to lecturing over Zoom. He pauses throughout the lecture to make sure all questions are answered and even takes time after class to address any questions anyone still has. He is a very quick responder and even spends time answering questions through email. Overall, my time at UCLA was greatly impacted by professor Ozel and I honestly wish I took every math class with him rather than some of the other professors I had. He makes ann effort to build a relationship with each student during office hours and was a great mentor when I was struggling with deciding whether or not to take the actuarial exams. He has a great teaching style and I hope that the math department recognizes how much the students appreciate him.

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!

I would highly recommend taking this class with professor Ozel. His lectures are clear and his hand written notes are really helpful. There wasn't really any homework for this class since he doesn't collect them - students could just choose which problems they want to do for their own practice. The only shortcoming of this class was the number of exam and quizzes - there were 5 quizzes, 2 midterms and 1 final. However, he drops two of the lowest quizzes. Overall, this was an enjoyable class, and professor Ozel is definitely one of the nicest professors in the math department.
