Comment:

he is a little disorganized but at the end YOU WILL BE FINE! He is super sweet and understanding of anything that may be happening. He is very lenient with deadlines and grading. He know this is a hard class and I feel as though he tries to make up for it by being super nice and understanding.

Completely lost in this class. I mean he's a sweet guy and all but I got an A in BAN001 and I got to 122 and I had no clue what I was doing and I cried four times in one week over one assignment because I couldn't even guess. BAN122 doesn't have very many good professors that teach it, but may the odds be ever in your favor.

Do not take him, he is very hard to understand and gives out work that is above the class level. Tests are hard. Acts as if you're wasting his time during office hours

Comment:

Ban 122 is more difficult than 001 by far, so read the reviews for the correct class. His accent is very difficult to understand and he never just finishes an explanation or problem - he is always jumping around - no order. Went to his office hours (with an appointment) and he basically acted like I was bothering him and gave no useful feedback.

Comment:

Porfessor is very kind and cares every student. It is true that he has thick accent and makes me confuse sometime, but I still learn a lot in his class. If you have any questions he is very willing to help. There are two exams and one project. Not very hard. Most of us got an A.

I sucked at QM 01 and Chandra said it didn't matter for his class. That was true but he still sucked at teaching the material. I understood it b.c I'm good at math and it just came to me after awhile. I would suggest him b.c he gives barely any work and on tests u can use the formula sheet

Comment:

Prof. Chandra is a nice guy, but I think he might be the worst professor I've had at Hofstra. His accent is very thick, making him difficult (and sometimes impossible) to understand. He simply isn't effective at teaching this difficult course. He gives out A LOT of worksheets. They come in handy, because you will likely need to teach yourself.

Comment:

Hes really sweet &genuinely cares about his students doing well even if he doesnt always explain the material clearly. He gives out so many practice problems that are almost identical to the test problems which is helpful &makes attendance worth a huge part of your grade so if you just show up you can prb do well. Also buying the textbook helps

Comment:

He's a really sweet guy but he has a really think accent. He hands out work sheets like crazy but they are all extremely helpful. If you can't understand him you can teach yourself off of the work sheets. Take if you don't mind teaching yourself. If you did well in QM you'll be fine.

Comment:

Some comments are exaggerating! he does have an accent but after 3rd/4rd class you get use to it. He actually recomends people to go to office hours because he knows the work can be confusing. Put in effort no matter how bad you do and he will reward you. No reason to do bad since exams are the same as homework and he doesn't even count attendance!

Comment:

at first his accent may throw you off but once you get used to it, this class is a piece of cake. all you have to do is do the hw because he copies the same questions and put them on the test. he encourages people to ask questions and will take his time on a topic until EVERYONE understands it. I wish he was teaching QM122 cause he's that good!!

Comment:

I've taken QM1 with three professors & he is the BEST ONE BY FAR! Attendance/HW aren't important but the tests are the EXACT same questions as the HW! He even gives you the answers to the hw during the reviews for the tests. 2 tests & a final but if you do well on everything you don't even have to take final! Really helpful & kinda cute. Take him!

Comment:

TAKE HIM if youre taking qm for the first time! He makes the subject easy by taking his time teaching. The class might be boring for some but it's because he goes over everything in so much detail! Homework's not mandatory but if you do it the test is only made up of those questions & you can even choose not to take the final! How sweet is that!

Comment:

Boring class as is. With Dr Chandra, his accent is hard to overcome and lacks clarity in his teaching. Examples on BB and in PP's are often wrong and are not studiable for exams. Must do HW to fully understand and do well in this class.

Comment:

You have to pay attention in class to understand his Indian accent. He gives a lot of resources for you to ace the exams, and he is very caring for his students. I took him during summer session, and even then he made sure we all understand the material. We had 2 exams and 1 project. If you put in effort, you will definitely ace the class with him!

He is hard to understand but his tests are not very difficult. He contradicts himself and makes a lot of mistakes on handouts. You will be falling asleep through the class but if you teach yourself you will do alright

nice guy but Worst professor at Hofstra. doesn't speak any English, does not teach you anything and tests you on things you never learned. he did not post anything on blackboard and the only way you will pass is if you teach it to yourself. dont take him, he is once again the worst teacher at Hofstra and does not deserve to be a teacher in any way

I can't believe this guy has been teaching for 30 years and still has such a terrible accent and is so hard to understand. Horrendous teacher who clearly is kept around because they underpay him. For your own sake please do not EVER take this guy. So unhelpful and impossible to understand.
