Comment:
He doesn't explain what he is writing on the board. He will throw up equations, provide half the explanation, and move on. His thoughts are so scattered it's hard to tell what he's even talking about and he can't answer questions well. He also doesn't give the homework back you there is no feedback on how you're doing. Get a tutor if you have him.

Hard to understand. Stands in front of board when he is giving you a chance to catch up on notes. sloppy handwriting. makes mistakes on example problems and has to ask for clarification from multiple students as to what he did wrong once he is already half way done with the problem. Always late. Good grading scale.

This guy is clearly a genius. He really knows his stuff. Though sometimes he is so smart, it is hard to follow his chain of thoughts, he cares about students and is really helpful if students have questions.

Comment:
Often got ahead of himself and would lose his place, labs for course show that things happen, but doesnt relate this to why we would need to know it as ME students. He uses a different notation than the text book, his makes more sense, but when you have to use the book for homework or the book's equation tables on tests it gets very confusing.

Didn't like him as a teacher. get away with a decent grade only cuz everyone in our class got below 70 on his test so he had to give us make up quizes that add up to 20 points to ur test grade. those are easy only cuz he sshows u exactly what the problems will look like but switches them up very slightly. hard to understand at least for me.

I see many people were unfair in their rating of Prof. Acharya..he is very knowledgeable, and tries to help the student learn the material.. I would say that overall, he is a good teacher.

Comment:
By far the worst teacher I've ever had. Always 5 to 10 minutes late to class. Completely unorganized, assigned a lab for the last week of the quarter without enough time to complete it, so not only did we have a lab report due during finals week, but we also had to come in on our own time to finish. I could keep going, but I'm out of characters.

He will show up late constantly. He showed up 15 minutes before the end of our final. He will give hints on the exams, but don't expect to know any material. You will learn almost nothing in the class, and likely will struggle through the whole class.

Quite possibly the dumbest person I have ever met in my life. Could not even explain why he took off points on an exam. Gets practice problems wrong all the time. Cannot understand questions posed to him. Shows up late for lecture and exam. Cannot to basic algebra.

Comment:
not a person would know how to do the lab or know what he was looking for until the last 1/2 hour. He was no help at all. very misleading about material on the test. took points off on labs for things that were not possible to include. professors have wondered why they still let him teach

Least clear instructor I have ever taken. Oral instructions will contradict written instructions in exams and labs. Grading seems to be arbritary. Good luck guessing what he really wants you to do for his assignments.

Comment:
Will often randomly in the middle of a sentence stare into space for 10 sec then continue sentence. Reviews for tests/quizzes are almost always misleading. However, if you pay attention, and understand what he is saying, its not hard to learn the material.

Comment:
wow. This man is unbelievable. He is part time prof, and I see why. He would leave a 3 hour lab after an hour. Couldn't find him for help. Expected us to know everything, DOES NOT curve tests. Too lenient that it causes you to fall behind on labs
