Comment:

Had to teach myself. Tests were only easy thing in class (but quite long). Way too many clicker questions, all graded. Everyone was always confused about their grade. Went way too fast on the questions too. Spent so much time at home trying to learn this stuff. Don't take him! Hardly used textbook, but still managed an A.

Comment:

More of a research professor than a teacher. Mehta is cool guy no doubt. His class consisted of tests and quizzes split 50/50. H e would quiz you over concepts that he hadn't even introduced. Even the in class clicker reviews were graded. Do not take him unless you have a strong statistics background. He was unclear disorganized as well.

Comment:

He's a nice guy but a horrible teacher. I had to teach myself in order to understand the class. He simply reads off the powerpoint, and gets easily confused with problems. There are quizzes every class with clickers and he never even tells you the grading system, it wasn't on the syllabus either. So the whole semester, you're unsure of ur grade.

Comment:

Would write questions on the board and he himself did not know the answers to the problems, leaving the whole class in confusion. You would expect that a professor with a PhD would know the information he is getting paid to teach.. wrong. I understand there are hard professors out there but, this one takes the cake. Most of the class failed.

Comment:

I don't even understand what this guy is doing most of the time. Quizzes every class over information he's barely covered, yet those equal half of your grade. He posts powerpoints and reviews, but none of them have answers, so it's basically a guessing game. It's like pulling teeth to get any info from him. Don't take him if you value your GPA.

Comment:

He grades 50/50 between tests and quizzes. Which sounds fine, except quizzes are in class on clickers over new concepts. Watched my entire class fail several, he moves fast. Write down all equations or you'll be confused fast and fail. Stay connected to the GroupMe you're put into, it helps. Doesn't want to help outside class, fight him for info.
