Course Name/Rating:

Exlploring The Cosmos
Course Department: PHY 201.05
Instructor: Levent Kurnaz
Instruction Language: English
Comments: It was fun, I learned a lot of information, scientific information and daily information. I now know much more about the universe, the world and its future. It was well-prepared and I was active a lot during the course. However the grading percentage was horrible. I took one midterm and one final, %50 each. So the professor didn't care about how much the students participated.
Credit Transfer Issues: Do not leave anything til the last second... EVER!
