Pathetic excuse for a teacher. He does nothing for you but complain. You can't go to him for anything, he will just lower your grade if you do.

He's willing to talk with you about your grades, but if you choose to, he lowers your grade by one letter in exchange for his time. What an ass.

Comment:

Can not understand a word he says. He will say something and if you do not understand he will just repeat word for word what he just said and louder. He will give assignments out before he has gone over the material and expect you to know everything. Over all one of the worst professors i have ever had.

Very nice man and an excellent educator. For higher level students, you will need to visit during office time and he will do practice problems with you. He will go out of his way to make sure you understand. The tests are still sometimes tricky but the classes are fun.

Comment:

This guy is worthless. All he does is read off of power point slides that he didnt even create. I was interested in the class before taking it but Sundaram is by far the worst prof I have EVER had.

Comment:

The class is a joke from the result of teaching. Just reads off power point and then gives a test of 50 questions that are pulled randomly from the book and Slides. Did not learn anything. Class needs to be restructured or have a different professor teaching.

Useless, hopless, and the worst professor at Tennessee Tech. I only feel sorry for him. I think he should retire for the good of TnTech.

I do not understand the negative feedbacks. He really cares about his students and will go out of his way to help anyone. His english is not great, but if you listen and pay attention you can understand. One of my favorite teachers here at tech.

Horrible, boring professor who makes things more complicated than they should be. Take someone else for this course or for any course he teaches. On assignments that are opinion-based, only his opinion matters.

Comment:

Don't be sucked in to the idea of an easy A in his class. He makes the material more difficult than it really is by his lack of teaching ability and English fluency. His tests are extremely long, so open book and open notes are only good for a peek or two. Any more and you won't have time.

Comment:

Impossible to understand, gives horrible examples if at any at all, gives tests that are impossible even if open book, and did I mention he can't speak english? He's also very condescending, he thinks its funny when you don't understand because you must be stupid. For the sake of your immortal soul, avoid at all costs.

Can't teach. Hard to understand. Rude and unhelpful. Always late with homework solutions. The one good thing is that all tests are open notes and book.
