8.   Do you have any additional comments about this course and/or instructor?
no
No it was done really well wish we had like zoom meetings once a week to go over anything we don’t get
No
Sometimes the way you explain things could be simplified.
The instructor explained each topic well and thoroughly.
Very informative class and the professor did an excellent job.
The instructor's online lectures were very helpful as they covered each topic step by step and carefully explained difficult economic concepts. The online lectures and course materials were well organized and helped me learn efficiently. As a student, I could tell that the instructor puts a lot of effort into teaching and wants his students to succeed.
He is very fair with grades, and very thorough in explaining concepts. I appreciated how simplified his explanations were; it was easy to understand formulas and concepts when the subject matter can seem very complicated or overly abstract. Although I do have to say that sometimes the quizzes felt much too easy (but I do understand this is an introductory class).
I liked the pace and the way the course was delivered in an asynchronous manner.
Dr. K presents his materials very well.

He is very nice.
Very well put together lessons that were short and easy to follow. I never felt like I was overloaded with information. I preferred the short 3-10min YouTube videos rather than 1-2hrs of lecture.
No extra comments, but just wanted to thank Professor Baybars for this class!
Dr. Karacaovali was very knowledgeable in this subject, as he was able to go into deeper analysis on how markets work and how firms make up the overall market. When it came to more difficult topics in the course, he made sure to dissect each concept and make it easier for his students to understand. He would even use analogies when talking about certain topics, which helped me understand the concepts being taught even more. His lecture videos were well-made and straight to the point. Overall, Dr. Karacaovali helped me to better understand the principles of microeconomics and about the general behavior of markets in an economy.
The resources provided by the instructor were incredibly helpful. I greatly appreciated them because it definitely helped me better understand the material.
Instructor was very clear and concise for his lectures even having it be online. Had no complaints through the class.
