Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. You can't understand him, he's rude and doesn't care about his students success. There's no way to pass the class when there are only 4 short tests in the semester, no homework and no attendance. He shouldn't be a teacher.

Comment:

Dr. Koshy has an obvious passion for math. This was a grad level course, so it was challenging. He kept most of it pretty interesting for us. If you get lost, see him during office hours. Always do your homework (even if not assigned) & ask questions! He recommends doing math everyday - it helps! And redo problems before the test!!

Comment:

The tests catch you by suprise and are way too hard. All his notes are on a PowerPoint which he clicks through too fast. It's no way to teach a math class. Professor Koshy belittles you in class and embarasses you.

Comment:

Koshy doesnt really teach he goes over notes he has prepaired well before in exact order. He just restates what is on there, if you get it great if not he really does make you feel like you have an issue yourself. He will always check with the persons he knows are failing as as if to say if they get it, everyone must. Not fair workload take hours!

Comment:

Professor Koshy may be a little hard to understand at times, but he is still a great professor. He tends to joke and tease a little in class, but if you can get past that, it'll be a great class. Study your notes very carefully, and you'll be fine.

Koshy is ridiculous. The man is incredibly intelligent, however his teaching skills are lacking. Refuses to explain himself, and purposefully attempts to trick students.

Comment:

I've read all the comments. What isnt said is he's brilliant, but should not teach. BAD at teaching what he knows and a bit rude if you dont get it at first. He picks favorites, and teaches to them, and will even insult you in a semi-joking way. Hard to understand. I earned points on tests, he would mark wrong, then be like oh well, its a long term

Comment:

Fabulous teacher! es he has an accent, get over it! He gives excellent notes, I barely needed the book at all, I'm sure you could do without it. Not an EASY class, but interesting and possible to Ace if you come to class ready to LEARN and study for the tests. I want him to teach me more!

TERRIBLE! your better off taking college algebra or a stats class..a four year old would have been a better math teacher than this bozo..also before taking this class you might want to get a personal translator cause the the guy is lacking on his english verbal skills..oh and dont ask any questions you'll get a blank stare.

i'm not a math person but i think koshy did a great job at explaining problems and would repeat examples enough until most people knew whatthey were doing. he can be funny too, even though i dont think he means to be

i cant even say that he is a horrible teacher because that would imply that he teaches! guess what? all those proofs were not within everyone's reach! we need help to learn how to solve problems.

Comment:

I liked Koshy's class. He moves fast, but he's very helpful if you just ask. He's a nice guy, and I don't get why it should be a problem that he's Hindu. But anyways, I liked his class even though I passed with a 70, but that was my own fault. I reccomend his classes, he's a very smart guy.
