Comment:

I have NEVER taken a harder class in my life. His tests were nothing like lecture practice problems. He didn't help out at all. It seemed like he didn't even care about the class. I studied a lot, but it didn't help. BUT, he curves A TON on the final, I had a C before the final, got an A on it, and got a 100 for the semester. Don't take him...

the best chem teacher in the department at tech. if you get him, you'll be lucky. he curves heavily, but its not an easy A. be sure to understand and complete the homeworks and know how to do the problems on the DVD. tests are hard so be prepared. he doesnt like the fail people.

Not too bad a teacher; his class is really easy even if you aren't good at chemistry. for my class he gave us 20 extra points for tests and 10 extra points for homework, so passing the class was extremely easy.

Chemistry is not a fun subject, but at least Trivedi makes his class interesting. GET THE DVD. His tests are identical to practice problems. He curves like crazy, an 85 average got me an A- he is awesome

Comment:

Trivedi was a tough professor. Compared to other professors' exams, his were the hardest. You might think you know the information but once you get to the exam, it's like, "when did we learn this?" He definitely builds concepts on top of the other and puts them into one question. He does curve very generously at the end, so that was nice.

Comment:

Trivedi's really funny, but I felt like half the class was wasted by his exclamations of "YES?" Also, I always thought I knew the material really well but would go to tests and not do so hot.

Quite possibly one of the best teachers I've ever had. Not only does he curve grades SIGNIFICANTLY at the end of the year, but he really reaches you as a student!

Probably one of the best professors i have had at tech. His class is really funny and even though i had it at 8AM i loved going to the class. DONT WEAR BRIGHT CLOTHES!! he will call you out. He has a bit of an Indian accent but i ind that really funny. Tests are easy as long as you study the DVD and do all practice problems. Loved teh class though.

he's funny and entertaining. my advice is: don't wear bright clothes or maroon if you don't wanna get called out, don't waste your $ on the textbook--his dvd all the way (its what he uses and its actually really helpful), for tests--study the dvd, check out koofers some questions were repeated, use your homework questions too-some came from there)

Trivedi knows his stuff and expects you to know it too. He uses a DVD instead of the textbook so don't waste your money. His tests are hard but if you study, you'll be good. Go to class but don't make eye contact with him, he calls people out like it's his job. If you're planning on sleeping in class, don't even go, He'll kick you out in a second.

He was a good teacher with a good curve. He expected you to know the material, but that is obviously no unreasonable. He loves for people to ask questions both in and out of class and he will do everything he can to help you learn the material. I really enjoyed his class. He's a riot
