For MCLA, you learn very little. Your goal should be to memorize as much of the previous tests as possible. He does not teach. He does not help. I would strongly recommend not taking the class. For Physics C, you again learn very little from the class. He does not teach. He does not help. You should get an AP review book and study from that. The cumulatives (the only things that matter for your grade) are usually actual AP questions, so you don't really need to worry about the tests he gives. I would again, strongly recommend not taking this class.

Cakir is not a good teacher. It's as simple as that. You may like his personality (I definitely do not), but most people agree that he is not a good teacher. He does not teach. He does not help his students. Rather than focusing on the material, he instead chooses to use class time to discuss politics and other random issues. I really don't see how any of that has to do with math or physics.
