Comment:

you have to show up to class even if you don't need it. I didn't pay attention to 90% of what he said during class and went home did the homework he posted and learned how to do it better than how he was teaching it.

Comment:

If you do homework and show up you will pass the class. Although he is very hard to understand and you cannot read his handwriting he does everything to make sure everyone passes the class. Allows a lot of extra credit and test are pretty easy as long as you do the review. Would defiantly take him again.

Comment:

This professor is not the one you want for Math. He has a heavy accent and he doesn't seem like he likes to repeat himself. He wants you to participate/give feedback during class to make sure you understands, but he still plows through the lesson. Doesn't allow notes on tests and they are taken on a computer where there can be many mistakes.

Comment:

This class was challenging, I enjoyed it and learned a great deal. It moves very quickly but Prof. Agrawal always takes time to ask if any one has any questions. (But people do not always take the chance to speak up.) He is clear about what he expects. He is a caring and compassionate man and I respect him very much. Work hard and you will do well.

Comment:

I had professor Agrawal for the past 2 semesters (1073 and 1093) He tells you the types of questions that he will ask on all exams and for the first 3 exams he offers 10 points of extra credit for going to the mathlab (1 point per hour) He also does have unusual handwriting and an accent.

Comment:

Prof. Agrawal is probably one of the more understanding professors in the math department. He lets you use a formula sheet (sort of) for 3 out of 4 tests, offers extra credit for going to the Math tutoring center, and is pretty clear about what he expects. Just check the mathlab for homework daily (he never mentions when he posts stuff)

You're probably here to see if you should take this professor. I will save you the trouble, go look for another professor. That simple. Basically, he will make you hate math, even if you're good at it. TRUST ME!!

Comment:

He's a very interesting guy. He is hilarious but doesn't seem to realize it. Class can be difficult because of the accent and his handwriting. His lectures are long but he does stop to ask questions. He moves very fast so be prepared to keep up on your own.

Comment:

Horrible! Hardly ever even tells you that he finally bothered to post about homework, leaves class consistently during the middle of a lecture, feels the need to take up his short 40 min lectures with things such as telling everyone "well to those who don't study..." completely hindering the learning experience! Would not recommend.

Comment:

If you like a professor that teaches straight out of the book and leaves class everytime for at least 5 min then take this class. If you want to actually be taught stuff instead of book work than I suggest a different professor

Comment:

He is a good person but terrible teacher. His accent is not bad, but he doesn't teach clearly. I was very good at math up until his class. His ways of teaching threw me off and we never used the book since it was on MyMathLab. Don't recommend.

Comment:

I personally really liked professor Agrawal. As long as you participate and show an effort in class he'll like you. I'm awful at math so I lived in the tutoring center, the extra credit really helped me get my A . Definitely get a textbook, I rented my textbook off of Amazon for $20. His accident isn't that bad.

Comment:

His class is somewhat difficult due to his speech, grammar and hand writing. However extra credit is offed for every exam and he tells you what specific topics will be on the exam. I feel like these two factors make the class worth taking.

Comment:

The way he teaches is pretty boring sometimes I zoned out, but he is clear in what he expects of you. He gives out a review a day before the test so as long as you go to that class to get the review you should be fine. If you ask for help he will go over material again and explain different. So if you are not good at math highly recommend him.

Comment:

Agrawal's accent is not bad at all and his handwriting is clear most of the time. He is an extremely good teacher and I would definitely take him again. Very few homeworks and can repeat the questions until you make a 100. Extra credit for exams for going to tutoring. He tells you what the test questions will cover, multiple choice, only 3 tests.

Comment:

Professor Agrawal is a great teacher, however since I don't have a particular interest in math, it was a drag. His method of teaching is clear and to the point, and he gives extra credit opportunities for attending Math Lab or Q Lab tutorials (up to 10 points on each exam). Overall, he's a good teacher.

Comment:

His accent is not a big deal. The only difficult thing of this course is his handwriting which is acceptable 90% of the time. Homework is easy and usually only 2 or 3 homeworks per CHAPTER. Multiple choice tests, can use a TYPED formula sheet, only formulas & no math. Need MML, use the ebook in MML, paper book is $$$! Takes ex's from book in class.

Comment:

Awful. I took "in class mymathlab" class. So basically you attend class but work on mymathlab. we had to do homework for every chapter points (about 3-6 hws per chapter). I can deal with the thick accent, but his handwriting is awful. It's hard to understand the writing and he gets mad. Also he does NOT work on example for better understanding.
