He is a very nice professor. His office hours are helpful and he responds email very fast. Very sad that he will leave UCLA soon.
This course is not hard at all, but it does require a decent amount of effort. If you study approperiately, I do believe you will likely get the result you want as it is an applied math course and there are no proofs involved at all.

Ozel is an awesome guy. He's a big geek and history nerd who loves including pop culture references in his homeworks and tests. He's a fairly decent teacher and often stays longer for office hours to help people out. He does not assign a lot of homework, so it can be a little easy to get complacent in his class. Overall, would recommend, but he's not staying at UCLA for too much longer.

Amazing professor who cares deeply about the students' learning and well-being. We need more professors like Dr. Ozel, especially in the FAM major, who gives clear lectures and illustrate time value of money through various diagrams. I greatly appreciate his help and patience during OH. He grades pretty leniently on exams, which are fair and preps decently for the FM Exam.

Amazing professor. His lectures are clear and he provides his own lecture notes which is pretty nice. Would highly recommend taking this class with him!

Professor Ozel was the best professor I had at UCLA! He is the only reason I survived FAM at UCLA. He is a very clear and understanding professor and genuinely wants to teach his students. I would highly recommend him!

Great professor! highly recommend this class. ozel is a great lecturer and is great at explaining concepts

Prof Ozel is awesome. The material we cover in this class is not super easy, but if you practice a lot in the beginning of the quarter, it’s easy to understand the later concepts because they build off the earlier ones. As for Ozel, he’s extremely helpful in office hours and offers a generous grading scheme: lowest 2 out of 5 quizzes are dropped, and there’s 2 midterms and one final. The first midterm and the final both had extra credit questions. Because he also led Discussion, he observed how long it took us to take the quizzes (just 2 questions) and set the length of the exams accordingly, so we wouldn’t run out of time. I highly highly highly recommend him. Great prof and great person.
