Vivek's brilliant, because his ability to focus on the big issues without losing sight of ground realities is so rare among profs. Plus, his voice is to die for, and he's charismatic as hell.

Comment:

vivek is awesome... sure, he's likes the ladies, but he's one of the few people in academia who will treat undergrads as equals. if u say something cheesy and unintelligent (WHICH YOU INEVITABLY WILL), he'll still engage with you seriously. he is narrowminded, but that doesn't mean he'll write you off if ur views differ.

Vivek isn't a bad teacher. He's obviously extremely well-educated. He's just rather close-minded.

Smart, always engaging--one of the best profs at Hampshire. Really knows his stuff. Also very helpful. The two previous comments are really screwed-up in my opinion.
