Comment:

I feared this man. After class I had so many questions, but I felt as though he would send me to the astral plane if I asked them. He may be the smartest man I have ever met. Knowing multiple languages will help you in this class, because having the skill to sift through his accent and soft voice for useful information is essential to your success.

Worst math teacher I have ever had. He talks much too quietly and can never answer questions kindly. Very frustrated. Learned more from my textbook than this class.

Comment:

He does not accept any fault for students doing poorly in his classes, especially lower level courses. He has said "If you are not doing well in my class it is because you are not doing work." Got in a bad car accident, asked for the lecture notes from the day I was in the hospital, was denied. Does not care about students well being.

Comment:

Very structured class. Definitely knows the content well but isn't good at explaining it. The only reason I did well in his precalc class was because I took precalc in high school so it was mostly a review, but if I hadn't taken it in high school I wouldn't have done well in this class at all. He is also unwilling to help students outside of class.

Comment:

Worst teacher I have had by far. I not bad at math by any means but he has made me hate it once again. The only grades he has is Quizzes/exams, he has no schedule for the class, he mocks you for not knowing anything and he cannot answer any question you ask correctly. Everyone in my class asks questions and he has no idea how to answer them.

Comment:

What most beneficial is that the homework problems will be the EXACT on the exams. Lots of people dropped his class but towards the end he pulls an Oprah and gives everyone a whole letter grade up. He has a weird humor but he makes calculus SUPER easy. Don't give up on him, all you need to pass with an A is know how to do EVERY homework problem!

Comment:

Prof. Kapoor is very focused on grading and less on making sure you know the material. Theres a lot of homework and a lot of exams (which basically make or break your grade). He would not provide help outside of class, complained if you asked for help during class, and would say awful things about the people that dropped out of his class.

Comment:

I would not take this professor's class again. I ended up withdrawing because I had such a difficult time, and I'm generally good at math, too. He was difficult to understand, explained things poorly, strictly used the textbook and his lectures made me fall asleep.

He is slow, and to me it was good because I understand slowly. He is kind, and patient, and I made many mistakes. I was happy to be with such a caring professor!

Comment:

I learned halfway through the semester that Kapoor expected us to buy an additional book sold by him. The reason for this book is being he uses many techniques that are never mentioned in the normal book. He showed little care to help someone struggling with his teaching methods and had no office hours. Got an F, Retook different prof, and got an A

Comment:

Class time is spent going over a basic problem or homework, and most learning occurs doing homework outside of class. Doesn't explain why he takes steps to solve a problem. My experience was essentially guided self-study, so find a good textbook to teach yourself, the class textbook is pretty bad. Entire grade is from only a few tests and quizzes.

Comment:

This professor did not show up to the first two classes of the semester and did not even send out an email to tell the students, we all sat there for almost an hour waiting for him to show up. He is very strict on the work shown and if it is not shown exactly as he likes, he says you cheated. I would not recommend him.

Comment:

Dr. Kapoor is a very strict but reasonable professor. There are no freebies in the class. Do the homework thoroughly, ask questions, and practice problems for the math test. Very simple formula for success, but requires alot of discipline to get a passing grade.

I did not have a good experience with Kapoor. My math class started out with roughly 25 people and by time the final came all but 4 of us had dropped the class. he was very unaccommodating and he did not like to answer any questions that went out of his format.

Comment:

README, this professor is for those who see math as from a theoretical standpoint. if you are a math, computer science, or someone who sees math for itself, TAKE this instructor. If you are a applied type who needs a real world models for math, DO NOT TAKE! also, old school, chalkboard, book, and only grades tests. be warned on that last bit.

Comment:

He gives you a lot of chances to make your grade better. He does give out a lot of quizzes but he announces them and asks the class which day they want to take it. For the exams he will give you a study guide and it is the same format so its easy to pass.

Comment:

His exams are basically the same as his study guides. If you do them 2/3 times, as many times as it takes you to understand the material, you'll pass. I would do all the homework cause he takes his exam questions from the homework. Just make sure you do the homework! He doesn't really use the textbook explanations, he has his own methods of solvin

Comment:

He gives study guides and all the problems on the tests are on the study guide. If you don't do hw, the class is hard. I know this from experience. Tough grader on tests, but gives second chances. A couple weeks before the final he said if we got a C, we'd get a C in the class (I had a D before this). Tests and quizes are the only grades.
