Comment:

Professor Mina truly cares for his students, which is evident from the way he jokes with them. He offers an unorthodox view at learning which is designed to teach you to think, which is great. He is dyslexic, so his written English is (understandably) messy, but this only adds to his incredible character. Great professor!

Comment:

Mani is the best professor I have had at Iowa State. He teaches clearly and is ready to answer any question. He wants you to learn material not memorize. Unlike any teacher I have had, and though he may make you read the text book and do a lot of class work, he knows what he's doing and you will enjoy the class. He's got a sense of humor, too.

Mani is awesome! He goes over the material many times and makes sure everyone gets it. Not to mention he is hilarious and very interesting. He is brilliant and very encouraging. Go to office hours if you are having trouble, he is very helpful. Take a class with him if you can.

Mani is the teacher to get. If you have the chance, take a class with him. He really believes in his students. He made it clear that I was in the right field. Not to mention, he's interesting and very well respected. Mani is known all across campus. Just so you know, he's a teacher who cares as much as his students care.

Comment:

Wonderful professor who cares about his students. Lectures are pretty good although he can sometimes get distracted and class will not productive at all. His teaching methods are generally good and he's genuinely trying to make students become good engineers. Humor is funny and sometimes crude but true. I would like to take another class from him

Comment:

Mani is the best. The material isn't that difficult. He doesn't have the best proper vocabulary for some terms, but you'll get used to the way he explains things. Always tried to make class engaging and so you learn. The real lesson in his classes is to learn how to learn.

One of the best professors I've had at ISU. You can just tell that he cares about his students the way he jokes with them and then makes sure they truly understand the content. A truly inspirational professor.

Comment:

Brutally honest and brutally entertaining. The class is an absolute breeze as long as you don't skip. Although he can be a little belittling at times, it is usually in jest. His written English is pretty awful, so be prepared for nights of trying to decipher the assignment questions.

Mani was a great help not only in the class but also in understanding the difficult concepts of Electromagnetism. He was more than willing to stay late to talk with me about any questions or ideas I had and did his best to help the class learn as much as possible.

Comment:

Mani is someone that actually pays attention to each and every student. It's up to the student if they want to take the time to get to know him. Mani is a genius. He will change your outlook on whatever topic you learn from him or even life in general if you're willing to have even one conversation with him and contemplate the ideas that he mention

Comment:

Mani teaches his class in a different style. Everything you learn is cumulative, he will just add on new stuff while still going over all of the old stuff. He encourages you to make mistakes, as this is how you learn. He cares about his students and wants you to learn & have fun. He'll also gladly help you if need be. My favorite professor so far!
