McGill University, German Intermediate - Fall 2015 & Winter 2016
Ozlem is an excellent teacher and it is clear that she really wants to see her students succeed. I really like the way how she incorporates current topics and the news into our lessons as it makes learning more enjoyable. For example, the lecture that we had the other day comparing Besuch to a latest headline was excellently executed. I had such a good experience with this teacher and the course that I am now going to take advanced German this upcoming fall.
Was a really good course, the professor was very good at teaching and obviously very passionate about the subject. Fun small classes where we got to engage with each other a lot, interesting discussions, learned a lot more German than I'd expect from a language course. All around a really good class and teacher.
Great professor, very nice, very invested and very attentive to student's needs. Great transmission of the German culture. Very interesting class. Only one concern: the grammar that we did at the end would have been better at the beginning of the class.
She is very sweet, approachable and understanding. Although she seems to be a bit shy, she definitely makes a lot of efforts to ensure that her students understand and tries to make the class fun. She may not be a naturally outgoing person, but she did her best to keep the class interested and encouraged the students to participate in a variety of activities. She even came with us to a few extracurricular activities. She is interested in getting to know her students and seems to truly care about them and if they are comfortable in the class or not. She is generally very available to answer all questions and tries to make everything very clear.

Yes, I'm impressed at how much I have learned.
I am so glad to have learned German this year and am frankly impressed by the extent of my language proficiency now thanks to that course. Thank you!

She is so friendly, always available, and smiley. Great instructor! She is always wanting to help us out, and funny too.
we ALL get stockholm syndrome with Ozlem. though the participation points keep you coming, she`s a great teacher to have. very coolé.
Frau Orhan is a great instructor! I love her enthusiasm and jokes in class. She also explains the concepts really well and posts helpful exercises on webCT. Thanks for a great class!
She is always availble to help. She is flexible with setting up office appointments, and is always giving us extra practice homework and links to German movies and German news to help us get better acquainted with the culture and the language. She even set up a facebook group for our class so that we could ask questions any time and is extremely fast at answering no matter what time it is.
I look forward to coming to this class every MWF. So much fun and you learn a lot and fast.
Ozlem is a fantastic teacher and fosters a pleasant classroom environment.
The on-line material was useful to practise on a daily basis. The pace of the class was just perfect. Ozlem Orhan is an excellent teacher. Her patience, help, availability and good mood make the classes much more interesting. Danke schön Ozlem!
She encouraged class discussions a lot by asking many questions in order to see whether or not we understand.
She was open to visit during office hours as well as outside of them. We could talk to her at any time.
She used the time we had wisely with plenty of group work to encourage speaking. She went through the grammar lessons in order for us to understand what was happening.
She has been very patient when we did not understand the material. It is sometimes difficult to follow what she was talking about but it is normal that she was speaking in German through most of the class in order to better our vocabulary".
The class has been a very fun class where a lot of material has been presented. I feel like I have an adequate base in German.
Overall, I enjoyed this course and look forward to taking another German class. She was entertaining while being helpful and available when help was required. The workload was intense but necessary in order to maintain a good level of learning.
