Pretty typical professor for a cow college like Tech. If you go to this school, you are not going to get a high level of instruction. Live with it.

this guy will talk about anything. he seriously lectured about dominoes for a strait 8 minutes one day, nonstop. tests are not directly from anything, and he grades exceedingly difficult. also a bully to students. thinks he is funny, but that is false. made me hate anthro.

Comment:

Prof. Mookherjee's teaching abilities are not at all comparable to any other professor at Tech. Everything this man stresses in class is exactly what you are NOT tested over. All exam questions are geared at applying yourself rather than a straight forward answer. He is a wise man about life, but needs to retire!

Comment:

Class isn't hard. Read the notes and textbook. However if you want to actually learn something do not take him at all. He will lecture everyday on whatever comes to his mind and all of it will be completely useless.

By far the worst professor I have had in 3 yrs at tech. Hard to understand, crazy tangents that never seem to end, difficult tests that have impossible grading standards, and he bullies students also. attendance policy reminds me of high school. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER

Comment:

the class isnt very hard; the only grades come from tests and quizzes which are relatively easy if you study the notes. He gets off topic a lot and has a round about way of lecturing that is hard to follow so trying to listen in class is useless (but attendance counts). You can make an A if you show up and study but he doesnt make it interesting.

Comment:

Dr. Mookherjee is a nice guy, just not the best teacher. He has a thick accent and talks very quietly, so it takes a few minutes to process what he is saying. The class is not too hard, but it's also not easy, you have to study. All of the test material comes from his notes that he posts online though, so there's really no excuse not to do well.

Comment:

It ruins every minute of my life knowing I have to go to his class for 3 hours on Wednesdays. He can not speak clearly at all, and he talks so low that if he did speak clearly you he wouldn't be audible. Don't get me wrong, as a person he is very kind, but teaching is terrible and the tests are impossible, and I do try.

Comment:

I took him as a freshman last year. His class took more time for me to study than Math 1910 (Cal 1 for engineers) and Chem 1110 combined. Waste of my time to be honest. He bored me with his stories that had nothing to do with his career or the class. I could barely understand him as he has a strong accent. Don't take it unless you have to.

Comment:

Well its obvious the haters have to be Freshman that expected college to be a walk through the park. He actually asked us what he could do to help us as far as the tests go and he only gets off topic when dumbasses ask stupid questions. He cares about his students so give the man a break. His test are hard but its Anthropology not Home Ec.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. Completely incomprehensible, never stays on subject, and test questions appear from nowhere. Questions come from the text and lecture and the leprechaun that lives in his head. Try to find someone with an old test. I took him twice, and he used the same questions.

Comment:

He is a nice person but pretty much useless in the class room. I bought the book for $100 and never used it. Just study your notes he gives u online and you will do ok there are three quizzes and three tests i made a B but that was just out of luck. Ask him questions but dont take him unless you have to. Attendance is mandatory!!!

Comment:

He is hard to understand and does ramble.Recommendations to pass his class (B) He grades attendance and tests from the book so show up for class, read your assignment during lecture ask a few questions. Go to his office and express concern about your grade and ask for clarification. "participation"points given for interest shown in class & grade.

Comment:

The guy is a joke!!!! I don't even know why he is allowed to teach. He never lectures. He likes to talk about random crap that does not make sense. Oh plus his accent is hard to understand.He tends to bully his students some. His test are extremely hard. I would rather go through extreme torture than sit in one of his classes again.

I read all the comments before I took this class and couldn't think anyone could be that bad, so I took him, and he was...all of what everyone says and more. He can't speak English very well. His notes are online, but its all impossible to understand. Do not take this class unless you have to, FIND ANOTHER TEACHER!
