Comment:
Best bet at succeeding in dynamics with Om is to go to his office hours. Make sure he knows you by name. Talk with him through the problems, ask questions, show him you care (and make sure you do!). Expect a large curve at the end of the semester but don't rely only on it. Much better at teaching 1 on 1. Still attend lecture and sit up front.

Comment:
By far the worst professor at the school. He fails to actually teach to the test. I have had him for dynamics 2 and even Goin through his class the second time there's still no understanding of the material. He completely lacks the ability to communicate what the objectives of the class are. You'd be better off teaching dynamics to yourself.

If you're willing to go get help, he will give you all the extra material you need in order to get an A in the class. The course is extremely difficult, but he works with what he has.

Comment:
Dynamics is a hard class regardless of the prof. Lectures can be somewhat confusing. He's really really great with one on one help though. If he sees that you're really trying, he'll go out of his way to help you out. Really have to go to office hours and recitations/review.

Comment:
Agrawal teaches the hardest classes and nobody likes hard classes which is why nobody likes him. However, he is still a very difficult teacher. So much homework you think you will never get it done, test are over about half of it. Connect is super helpful. Tough grader. Go to class, & maybe the help sessions if your struggling. He will help 1 on 1.

Comment:
Dr. Agrawal gets a lot of flak for being "a bad teacher" but honestly Dynamics is a class you should have to really work hard in. Many fail the tests but his lectures, honestly, are as good as they can get. The subject requires much extra work on your own to master. Help sessions with the TA can save your life. In all, he's strict but pretty fair

Comment:
Absolutely the worst teacher i have ever had. Actually made comments to students that he knows he's doing a terrible job, but he "does not believe in curving the class unless the department makes him" he says it is the students responsibility to change the class. Absolute GPA killer, and an overall miserable experience. Avoid at all costs
