Comment:

Took 361 and 363 with him good teacher. Really like him as he does not cover any theory in his classes it's strictly math. The exams do not really reflect the problems done in class. Be ready to think outside the box when doing his practice problems. In order to do well you must try to predict what he will ask you on the exams and google it.

If you take Mahesh, be ready to teach yourself. You don't hear him, he doesn't hear you. Choose wisely

Comment:

Only take him if you're good at teaching yourself because he can't communicate properly . Also, always check your grades because he often makes mistakes in gradings. Good thing is he responds to mails promptly and he won't fail anyody.

Great teacher. He is difficult to understand at times and you might have to repeat your question a few times but he is so helpful and kind. I recommend going to class because he really does explain everything well if you pay attention. Gives tons of practice problems, often much harder than whats on the exam, so you'll definitely be prepared.

Doesn't seem to care about students but when you take time to ask questions and go to his office he learn to respect you and help you. Only if you help yourself. Very smart man.

Comment:

Mahesh is an amazing teacher & individual. I have to admit I wanted to switch out of his course the first class due to his accent & lack of interest, but all sections were full so I decided to give him a chance. I'm happy I did because I learned so much. Many practice probs done in class & encourages attending office hrs. Will meet you anytime&day

Comment:

Exceptionally bad & incomprehensible. He mocks/insults his students. Harsh marker, average for the midterm was an F. I cannot understand why he wants to be a teacher. I am normally good at stats but he made being good impossible. Don't bother going to see him during office hours, wasn't able to explain my errors.

Comment:

Very good teacher. Sharma cares a lot about his students! He'll do everything (everyday office hrs, private help...) in his power to help you understand. He jokingly says that the reason he wants us so much to succeed is so he can have a good pension. May be a bit of an acquired taste but he's definitely someone who has an open mind. Take him!!!!!!

Sharma is a very sweet man. He has an Indian accent that is a little hard to understand sometimes but if you go over the material before class you'll be fine. He does many problems in class and is very open to questions.He really wants you to ask questions!

Comment:

Very easy class. His assignments are made tough and marked tough, but they are only worth 10%. Plus a 10% project that took me 1 hour to do. Midterm and final questions come directly from the book!!! I was stunned to see that! Anyways, if you study they assignments and problem sets, so the end of chapter exercises, you will A+ it! TAKE HIM!

He is a great teacher. Wants his students to succeed. Great Tip: Get your hands on the SOS booklets for this class. Some questions are exactly the same on the midterm and final. Take this Prof!

Excellent prof! He truly cares about his students and will spend as much time with you (in & outside of class) to help you out. Hard course, but he's very friendly, approachable and a nice guy overall. He spends almost all of class time on solving problems and he provides quite a few extra problems that are very valuable for exam preparation.

Comment:

Sharma knows everything about POM. A very nice man who truly wants his students to succeed. He's very available for questions and good about replying to emails. The bad part is that he goes through the subject matter too fast. He should slow down and do more example problems with students in class. Homework and final exam were brutal. SOS can help.

These tips are for those who cannot switch out to another section: (i) sit at the front of his class and participate - he has favorites. Do yourself a favor, and be 1 (ii) if you do this, read ahead of class + pay attention -he will ask you lots of questions, and (iii) work with Marco (tutor) for extra hints! Do these and you are guaranteed an A :)
