Comment:

This guy is a pathetic excuse. When he is not making fun of you, he goes of on his childhood days and his days in Canada. If you do want to learn something without being insulted or ridiculed, I strongly suggest you avoid this ch1mpanzee !

Comment:

What ever you do stay way from Dr. Nat. I could not understand him half the time, he talks about his circuits book, about once a class period. He goes off on tangents that dont make any since. had this class been taut by some one that you could under stand then it would be alright. if you take his class find some on that is an E.E. and get help.

Comment:

When he's not making fun of you, not laughing hysterically at something not funny, not a complete hypocrit, not rude, and not a jerk, he's a bad professor. There is no reason why this guy is teaching professional issues. The text is outdated; talked about using transparancy slides. Oh, enjoy getting reamed on your presentations.

Comment:

I thought 2060 was supposed to have us do labs that involve measuring things and building circuits based on material from 2020 or below. Instead he had us building circuits that have elements that are not even covered in these classes and don't mention buying resistors from big lots unless you want to listen to him laugh for the rest of the class.

Comment:

I can only hope and pray he retires before I put my emphasis in Electronics. Students have gone to other schools to take Elec. simply to avoid him. And his laugh......oh his laugh. If Satan could laugh, it would sound like that.

Comment:

he can't wire up his door bell - had to get his neighbor to help. just an example of how he may know his subject theory but is clueless in applications of general electrical engineering. he's wasn't even sure what a multi-meter looked like since they went to a digital readout. like most teachers at TTU - no real world experience.

Comment:

He's smart. Oh he's smart in electronics. But what he's doing teaching the professional issues course, we may never know. Takes at least a week to understand what he says, and when he starts laughing you won't get the noise out of your head for a long time. At least here he seems to realize he's just following Anderson's old lesson plan.

Comment:

Dr. Natarajan is brilliant in his field; however, he shouldn't be allowed within 100 ft of undergrads. I would say avoid him at all cost, but it's futile. You will - at some point in your Tech ECE career - have to take Das Nat. Don't resist. Try not to squirm...it only makes it worse. Good luck!

Comment:

I will be hard on Dr. Nat because he is an absolutely abysmal professor. To say that this guy is good or even mediocre is beyond belief. The lectures consisted of Nat placing the book on an overhead projector and scribbling chicken-scratch on the board. I learned everything from book and owe none of my knowledge from those ridiculous “lectures”.

Comment:

This is the best prof I've known. When he's not trying to demolish the building he's trying to set it on fire by smoking profusely! Don't be too hard on Dr. Nat because he can be very entertaining.

Comment:

By far the WORST PROF at TTU. He intentionaly tries to confuse the students with his lecture. Tests over material not taught. Insults the students. When asked questions pertaining to course work if he doesnt know he just laughs. He puts others down to make himself feel better.He has MENTAL PROBLEMS

Comment:

3810 is circuits I for "non"-electrical engineers. If I had been able to learn everything that Dr. Nat expected me to learn I would be an electrical engineer today. Right, right. Not funny at all! Only funny!

Comment:

He relates the material to the students very poorly. He rambles, insults the students, goes off on tangents, and generally just babbles incoherently. He may understand the material, but he has no business being in a classroom. *avoid* *avoid* *avoid* *!run away!*
