I'm Dogan Doganay

Dogan is a hard working student. He is more interested in learning the subject material than achieving a good grade. He is in the top fifteen percent of the student in my class. Dogan consistently submited his lab assignments in a professional manner. Dogan participated in class by asking questions and leading discussions.

Dogan was not only a dedicated student, but his friendly and open personality, along with his great willingness to help others, also quickly made him a favorite among his classmates from diverse backgrounds and countries. Dogan constantly showed a genuine interest and eagerness to learn as much as possible from his classes, his classmates and the culture around him. He eagerly immersed himself in the college and community environment around him and took every oppurtunity afforded him to expand his learning potential and get as much out of his study abroad experience as possible. He is extremely focused, enthusiastic and self motivated, always going above and beyond the expected requirments of a project or assignment. On many occasions, when a new subject matter was introduced in class, he would research the subject on his own and return to class the next day with a list of resources and study guides to share with his classmates.

Dogan was a tremendous asset to our team, and exhibited characteristics that will take him far in life, such as:

• Excellent communication skills (despite English being a non-primary language for him)
• Creative problem solving and initiative - several times Dogan was forced to figure out solutions to problems without instruction and/or improve upon the instructions given to him. Each time, he exceeded expectations
• Technical proficiency - Dogan showed strong abilities in both web design and coding, which make him a very valuable asset to any web team.
• Collaboration & teamwork - Dogan is very easy to work with, friendly and intelligent. He's a pleasure to work with.
