Great professor and a great class! :)
Excellent course. The professor shows he is dedicated to students learning.
Very fun class to take for any major. I would defiantly take another class from Professor Baybars.
Baybars is an excellent teacher, he'll challenge you to think and he'll always encourage you to speak up and give an opinion. Baybars is very personable and he is an easy person to talk to. Hands down I would recommend his class to anyone.
Great Teacher.
Baybars is a boss.
