Comment:

If his other classes weren't intense math classes, I would take him again in a heartbeat. There is no textbook, the homework is minimal, and only a few 1000 word essays here and there. Fun topic and you can tell he loves what he's doing and cares about his students.

This class was challenging but Professor Pulapaka just loves what he is doing! Homework is not mandatory but you definitely have to do it in order to do good on tests!

Comment:

I took HP for a food seminar, so I'm not familiar with his math-teaching skills. Like others said, he talks about his restaurant, but it was appropriate for our course. I thought his class was an easy A, but pay attention to his directions. You can get points off for silly things like abbreviations. He's always hello and smiles out of class.

Comment:

Dr Pulapaka is hard to approach, be it in class or out of class. He laughs at his own jokes. He is not as bad as a professor but sometimes goes very quickly. A positive point is that he writes everything on the board, so you can have pretty detailed notes to study for the quizzes and tests which can be very accessible to very hard.

Comment:

I was lost during the whole class. He misses many parts of the chapters or simply does only easy examples. His quizzes are of different level each time- from very hard to very easy. An advice: do his homework, it really helps!

Comment:

I understand what people talk badly about him. However, in my class now, he doesn't talk about his restaurant anymore. He's been improving from the past. He doesn't have pop quizzes. He always finds opportunities for students to improve their grades. I don't really hate him but he is a good teacher after all.

Comment:

Dr. Pulapaka did not reach my expectations. I'm a working adult going to school and he was more concerned about his Restaurant (Cress) which he talks about all the time. What a joke.

Dr. Hari thinks a lot about himself. Not around that often. Seems to be at his restaurant a lot.

Comment:

Dr. Pulapaka has a lot of opportunity to grow as a professor. It is clear that is really distracted and not focused on students. He has a little bit of temper and told off a student who was sick. Avoid him

I barely passed high school math, but for some reason I understood this math class and did really well in it. Even though he is not very clear when explaining in class, if you need help with any assignment, visit him during his office hours and he will definitely help you understand.

A wonderful teacher overall. The class is a bit difficult, but that is to be expected when entering a Calculus II class.

Comment:

This professor is awesome. He writes out everything that he says on the board so that you can put it on paper. His tests are fairly easy- he does not try to trick you and gives you points just for putting an answer down and trying. In other words, don't leave an answer blank. All in all, awesome teacher and funny one too!
