AT DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS, DOKUZ EYLUL UNIVERSITY

 Department had an education system called “Active Learning System” between 2000-2010. In this system, statistics courses for undergraduate students are studied in two-weeks modules based on scenarios within groups of 9 students and one instructor. Below are the some of the modules that I took part as an instructor or a  module supervisor:

  • Categorical Data Analysis
  • Nonparametric  Statistical Methods
  • Simple Linear Regression
  • Variable Selection and Modeling
  • Time Series Analysis
  • Multivariate Data Analysis
  • Multiple Linear Regression
  • Hypothesis Testing
  • Sampling MethodS
  • One-Way ANOVA
  • Design of Experiments

Since 2010, we are back at classical education system. Below are the classes I teach at undergraduate and graduate levels:

Undergaduate level:

  •  Probability and Statistics-I, Probability and Statistics-II (2010-2012)
  • Technical English-I-II(2010-2011)
