Comment:

I took POM212(Hughes), got an A-, POM333(Braha), got an A. POM415 with this guy and I will be lucky to pass. He teaches as if we are going for our Ph.D in statistics. His test questions are unfair and worded very poorly. Take anyone else if at all possible! He's knowledgable but CANNOT teach.

Comment:

my current gpa is 3.3, and this man is destroying it. he makes his test questions different that the way he teaches them and more difficult. shows up late to every class, and repeats the same problems. i just got my first test grade back, and i have never been this upset with a professor before. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Comment:

One of the worst professors that I have ever had! He is absolutely useless, he does not teach you anything. All he does is speak about how great he is, his tests are so ridiculously hard it is a nightmare. He gives no partial credit and speaks down to his students, no one likes him, but we have to tolerate him. Avoid at all costs.

Very hard professor. assigns no homework. 90% of your grade are the 3 exams. he doesnt scale anything. You have to go to class. don't take this class. half the class dropped it within a month. he makes the exams extremely hard.

He talks about himself for half the class and then squeezes in some teaching at the end, taught very little and put questions on the tests that he didn't even teach and were very vague, not a good professor what so ever.

Full of himself, goes on tangents and ends up teaching very little, could have probably learned the info myself by just reading the book, he's on his high horse.

he's tough but fair, that's the best you can hope for in profs.He certainly knows his stuff and doesn't suffer fools so if you're not up to it, don't do it.

Comment:

Great professor! Definitely one of the highlights of my college career. He's tough and can be sarcastic at times, but only has the best intentions to bring out the best in his students. Always available after class and always willing to help. I would not be the successful supply chain manager that I am if it weren't for Prof. T and this course!

He is the nicest teacher i've ever had! He tries so hard to make sure you understand his class! His exams were representative of his class and exercises. He doesn't go over the whole syllabus so you don't have to worry about learning a whole bunch of new stuff! I loved that class! He made it so interesting!

After reading the responses here, I'm not surprised by what was written. I do that most of the individuals that posted here probably received poor grades. This is a reflection of the professor's high standards.This isn't a class you will breeze through, but if you study, you can do good. He presents the material clearly, but you need to know it 100

Comment:

His grading methods are unfair. Each class, a group presents their case using Powerpoint. At the end, the other groups are asked to grade the presenting team. The professor's grade is based on what the other teams grade the presenting team. I find this to be more of a popularity contest, than a measure of the presenting group's competence.

Comment:

The course material isn't really that bad; however, he is not a very good teacher. If you take this class consider it a "teach yourself" type course. He words his exam questions in a very awkward manner so you have to really know your stuff. Go with Braha for this course.

To be honest, That was a waste of time and money to take this class. Very easy but I learned nothing from him. He may be a good teacher but he has to show it.

Comment:

He is just as bad as everyone else has already said - If you have him for QBA you can either accept the fact that the best you can do in his class is a D, or save yourself hours of studying/headache's and drop the class. Take it with Guna if you can! (I think its Gunasekarian)

If you pussies can't handle a little critizism you shouldn't go to college. The man is highly skilled and smarter than the average Prof that I have met here but is probably bored by most of you underqualified students on this campus. Grow the **** up and try to challenge yourself...BIG UP ERCAN

Comment:

Yes the class is difficult and he is very precise in what he looks for on exams. We cover only one topic per day in class and if you study, there is no reason why you can't do well. I found him to be a nice guy as well. He expects a lot and if you give it to him, you'll get a good grade.
