I took this class spring quarter and it was interesting. He had podcasts and while listening to them when I was reviewing for the final, you can hear the enthusiasm he has for this subject. Web designing is an important part of the class but the discussions teach you how to create one. It is easy to get an A, the assignements are pretty easy but the final was long. Just budget your time on the final and you should do fine. It's too bad he won't be back until fall 2007.

Winter 2022 - I took this class as a GE and wasn't expecting much, but I ended up really enjoying this class and I actually felt like I had learned something. Prof. Yildiz is by far the nicest and most accommodating professor that I've ever had. Lectures are basically mandatory because there are 2 iClicker quizzes every class but Prof. Yildiz is very engaging and I really did enjoy coming to lecture. There are no essays due for this class, just a midterm and final, the aforementioned quizzes, and participation in discussion. She assigns a very fair amount of readings and the exams were also very fair. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who has the opportunity to take it.
