Comment:

He gives lectures that are heavily proof based but also gives sufficient examples. Homework is from the book. His tests are very clear and fair and are exactly like what he does in class and if you do the homework and pay attention you shouldnt have any problems. He also helps a lot outside of class if you ask but you have to be proactive

Comment:

He asked me about my previous prof and class I took. I said I got a B in calc 2. He replied you dont look like a B student and your previous prof( no names) is too good of a person, he like to pass people. I dont like to pass people easily. Tries to scare the class mostly rather than actual teaching properly. At time down rights insults student

Comment:

I had an lot of respect for Sunil, but he is just absolutely heartless, like he doesnt care at all about his students. He takes the quote no mercy, no pain, literally to himself. He says Im prepping you for 4 year college. But in reality hes just too hard, when 4 years profs are more understanding. Talking to him is like talking to a robot.

Comment:

The Worst Professor I have had the misfortune of enrolling this semester. Very dismissive and down right disrespectful to the class. Tries to install an over-arching fear in the class rather than edification. Expects a "perfect" student and class which is extremely difficult to achieve. All the while is not being helpful at all after a lecture.

He is so good at mathematics and explained the material very well. I will say that if you do homework you will pass with easy B. He helps while his office hours. He is the legend of mathematics.

Comment:

It's one thing for students to say bad things about a teacher, but for teachers to say bad things about a professor is another thing. He is rude and will not hesitate to call you out in front of the entire class. Do not ask questions if you do not understand the material because he will make you look bad. Only take his class if you have too.

Comment:

He is so nice but he don't that students don't know calc-3 as him. As a result he is not that great, but if you need high C you can take him. He feels like students in his class already have master's degree in Math.

Comment:

The worst professor at harper college hands down. Before taking his class I enjoyed calculus, but he makes it very difficult to want to show up to class and learn. He has a HEAVY accent and talks way too fast during lectures. If you ask questions, he makes you feel embarrassed you even asked. Do not take his class.

Homework is a big chunk of the class, If you don't do the homework you wont pass the test. If you're willing to work for it then its a good class and you will know the material. As long as you don't forget your tools.

If I were taking only this class, I would have been able to dedicate the time towards him. Seriously consider taking this with a different teacher if you have the option to do so, but if you take it with him, you'll have to know the material as if you got a PHD in it.

Comment:

Sunil is an unbelievable man, and don't take this class unless you want to become a calculus legend. I took him for Calc 2, and Calc 3. Most would think I am crazy for taking him twice but I slayed both classes thanks to this passion for math that he instilled into my being. Thank you Sunil, you are seriously the greatest!!

Comment:

There are so many reaons NOT to take this professor. Just a few, the lesson plan he teaches is not the same as how the book teaches. Doing the homework thus offers little to no help at all. He will typically ignore questions stating that we should already know them if we have them. There is no study guides or formulas given for the tests either.

Comment:

Great teacher to have, but very challenging to take. He will work you non-stop but it's so you understand the material inside and out. He doesn't want you to memorize the formula, he wants you to understand how the calculus works and why it's used in certain ways. I would recommend him for people that truly want a challenge/want to learn calc.

Literally, worst teacher I've ever had. Lectures: 1. Spends too much time doing proofs. 2. Asking questions is frowned upon. Implies you aren't paying attention if you do. Homework: 1. Ridiculous amounts of HW. 2. Not graded. Tests: 1. 4 tests & final, all cumulative. 2. No study guides. 3. Difficult and long. He doesn't care about your success.

Comment:

Very specific in how he wants you to do a math problem. Assigns homework daily and often there are problems on the homework he hasnt gone over in class. I often look to the book for solutions to these problems but the book have different methods to solve them than he has taught, and doing problems different than how he taught loses you points.

Comment:

Sunil is my man. He's a fantastic teacher and explains the concepts in great detail, sometimes too much to be completely honest. He will tell you point blank if you do not do the homework in this class you will not pass and that is clearly true. You have to do every homework problem. I'm not great at math so I lived at the tutoring center. Worth it

Comment:

I took MTH 140 with Prof. Koswatta, and it was fairly easy overall. His lectures are easy to follow. He gives homework every day, collects it at the end of the week, but you get points for completion. Do the homework to do well on the tests. There are seven of them, the lowest one is dropped. The final is tough, and you have to memorize a fair lot.

Comment:

Please don't take as a teacher; if you try all the homework to the best of your ability (putting more effort into it than the rest of ur classes combined)&still confused on problems, and then ask him for help, he implies that you are not trying hard enough because u r lazy&lack intelligence even though you aren't. If you were,why would you try?
