Comment:

I found his tests to be challenging compared to his study guides. Does not always grade tests and quizzes promptly. Requires effort on your part, paying attention in class, and plenty of practice in order to accomplish an A. Very nice guy unless you disrespect him.

Comment:

If you are willing to put the work in, you'll do just find. He grades very easy and he always gives you points if you try the problem. Some students don't put any effort in because they don't like the way he teaches but if you pay attention it will be easy to get an A

Comment:

I took him for two classes, and he is alright. A lot of my classmates didn't do so well, but I don't think they put forth the effort. He is a little dry and takes forever to grade, but the classes were informative, the tests were reasonable and over the material covered, and he was reasonable overall.

Comment:

Don't listen to these ppl!! I thought he was a great teacher. He is very helpful and clear.he gives a quiz every class which goes over what you learned in the previous class which should be easy if you go home n practice! more quizes mean more grades to add to overall grade which gives you a better chance of passin.work is requied but it's not hard

Comment:

Very smart man, maybe not for teaching LS math. At the final exam,there was only half of the class remain. It was frustrating being in his class because it seems like he is teaching himself. When you wants to ask him a question about thing he'll say " go back to the syllabus ". This professor is no help for learning support students.DO NOT PICK HIM

Comment:

I took him for Linear Algebra. He is smart, and you must have basis in Math in order to catch up in his class. His tests are doable. Make sure you understand the homework. He gave extra credits but it wont change your grade much, so dont lay on extra credit

Comment:

He's a nice man, but has no patience in explaining simple algebraic equations and forgets he's teaching a remedial course and most of us have been out of HS algebra for over five years! He will however drop your lowest grade and may offer extra credit. Do not take him if you are not efficient in math.

Comment:

He is very smart and knows what he is talking about, but he doesn't know how to explain what he is talking about. For those of you who struggle with math, do not take him. For those of you who get it, not a bad choice,but not the greatest either. In order to understand the material, force him to explain it in your terms. Got an A on the last test.

Comment:

Calculus II...The guy is very smart but wow........the tests are nothing like your homework, he doesn't care if you got the right answer, and he's a **** when you talk to him. He actually told me in his office that he feels his talents are being wasted here at GPC, and that this job is beneath him. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

THE GOOD: Mr. Raj is a nice guy and extremely smart. He allows you to use notes for test. THE BAD: He does not know how to simplify the information to where one can grasp it. I am an A student in math and science and found his tests very difficult (even with notes). I got a C for the course. BOTTOM LINE: Avoid him if you care about GPA. Wait and take Rusodimos, Barzegar or Lu.

Comment:

He's super intellegent! He is like a modern mathematician! His class IS hard, but he teaches how to use "math", not just how to solve a problem from textbook like many other professors(useless). If you are a type who wants an easy class, DON'T take him , but i never regret taking his class. I passed with high A, and i did really hard in his class.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!!! He teaches the hard way instead of the easy way on purpose. He says that the questions on quizzes and test come from the book but they don't and they are super hard. His exams are ridiculously too hard. And the final exam.... Einstein wouldn't have passed.

A very smart guy. He makes you understand the concept by giving tricky test and quiz questions. DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS!That's the only way out.

Run...dont walk...to the nearest exit!His test are like what you'd expect for an entrance exam into the NASA Space program AND they have nothing to do with his incomprehensible lectures! He teaches you "the hard, long way" on purpose. He's seems nice but actually he's about as nice as a deadly virus...your GPA will suffer. You've been warned!

Comment:

Introduction to Statistics is a pretty simple class but Prof. Raj makes it complicated. He is too smart and needs to publish his own txtbook . At times his notes were different from the textbook. If you're weak in math ,do not take! If you're a self learner, you'll do well. Lastly, there is plenty of opportunities to earn an A.Just do the work
