Comment:

Incredibly boring lecturer, hard to pay attention. Often spends way too much time talking about the same thing. Monotone and unenthusiastic. At least he's really hot

Ram the Man...Ram the man. Great, great guy. A bit tough to understand at first but you'll get used to it. You won't learn a WHOLE lot like with Boyle, but he is the nicest, fairest, and most helpful prof there is.

Really great guy. Loves his students and loves answering questions. It's a really easy class but he acts pretty professional. Easy 80 if you study the night before midterms. Just read his powerpoints. Try not to get too sidetracked with facebook or tetris.. sometimes you miss out on how to do the assignments.

So nice, loves his job and his students. He was always helpful and would even answer questions during tests. He doesn't stress attendance but obviously values when you do show up. Has a thick accent, but his teaching is very good and you get used to it. Awesome prof!

Comment:

The guy doesn't know what enterprise applications are and he is teaching SAP R/3. I can't believe they let him get away with it. Ask him the business process and he will tell you what he memorized from the book or the slides, but when you really want to ask him what he is saying..he is lost.bad prof

The systems design project was useful in designing e-commerce website. Ram teaches people and technical skills. If you want to learn both take his courses.

Comment:

I didn't learn anything from this guy. He asked us to create an e-commerce website while telling us he himself doesn't know how to set up one. Then he asked us to draw some diagrams...all he gave us marks was for diagrams.It was not ART 100 course.

Ram is hard to make out at first. Took me a week to figure out that "data inta grittie" was "data integrity". Other than that, take Ram and get to know him, he's a great contact to have! Very friendly, easy to talk to, very helpful!

Ram is the man...it was a bit rough when he first started at X...couldn't understand what he was talking about and told us all the wrong stuff that was going to be on the midterm so we all did horrible. A few talks with him straightened him up though!
