Very knowledgeable and approachable professor. Cracks jokes and teaches on the blackboard (Old school but effective). Tests are very fair and doing his problem sets will allow you to do well in the course. Overall, teaches the course very well and cares for his students.

Comment:

He is a very good professor when he is teaching in class. He has such a knowledge that I have hardly seen with any professors I worked previously. But when comes to grading, he will not help you at all though you work very had. If you are not taking this course for credit, then go for it sure. If you wanna take this course for credit, make sure you

This prof is one of the best I have studied under, after 6 years of university and 2 different schools. He makes himself accessible to all his students outside of class and truly cares about their wellbeing. It's rare to find someone as dedicated and outstanding as this man, let alone someone who teaches complex material so effortlessly. A true gem

This man is the best professor in McMaster. He is there for every single human being even if not in Mech Eng. He is awesome. His lectures are very rich in material. Attend lectures for sure and follow up with the problems sets he posts. He loves feedback. This man made sure we all understood before we left. His jokes are hilarious. Koshy for Chair!

This man is amazing. The best Prof in Mechanical Engineering at Mac. He is always there for every single student. When you see him in the hallway , engage and talk with him. He is hilarious. Attend lectures. They are so good. Solve a lot of questions and problem sets. He made me love the course that i thought it would be the worst.

Absolutely fantastic prof. The best in the mechanical engineering department, for sure. Crystal clear explanations of difficult physics problems, and hilarious and kind to boot. He has been known to stay till 10 or 11pm some nights to help any student who asks.

I managed to fail his class (due to not doing enough problems), but that's completely my fault. He's a brilliant prof and he's also hilarious.

the night before the final exam he stayed till 2:00am in his office to answer questions. if you ask him to explain something for even the 100th time.. you can expect the same kindness and enthusiasm as the 1st time he explained that thing to you. he offered to come in on the weekends to help us improve our marks. he's an ASSET for Mac Engineerin

It's like a collision of the best qualities of the best professors in the world, and after the dust settles, this tall Indian man is just standing there and he says 'wazzup'.

I love him, the greatest professor of all time. Took a boring irritating course and made it almost entertaining. Great teacher very approachable, nicest guy, humble and down to earth. Entertaining but it is still a class not a show.

Very willing to help students, and won't tolerate those in class that are constantly interrupting. Too bad there aren't more profs like him.
