Comment:

Professor Ruhi has taught this class for years and clearly conveys the content of the course through his lectures. There is not too much homework, likely 1-2 hours every 2 weeks. The content was interesting and the exams were fair, although the exams were each worth 39% of your final grade. It will be a considerable amount of work but doable.

Comment:

Worst Professor I think I've ever had, rather than explaining concepts in a way that helps you understand him, he just shows you his way to do it and doesn't allow for any alternatives. If your way of thinking is more open, and you truly want to learn the content rather than just replicate random spreadsheets he makes, don't take this class w/ him

Comment:

He is not helpful during office hours or when trying to talk with him in class. He'll blow you off and make you feel like an idiot for not knowing the right answers. The lectures are dry and confusing, and he will assign random assignments at the tip of the hat. Only class I'll have an assignment specifically for thanksgiving!

Comment:

I would not take this class if you can avoid it. The material should be very easy to understand but he burns though lectures and does not care if students are lost, which is frequent given his broken English. He will call on you randomly and will make you feel stupid if you ask questions, even when he does not know how to answer them himself.

Comment:

He's pretty funny in a sardonic kind of way. Get the online textbook, know how to use vmware if you're on mac, and definitely go to class. If you are able to follow along in class with the problems he does, the exams will seem like a breeze. Also, if you can ace the hw sets, you can ace the exam.

Comment:

Ruhi can be intimidating when it comes to asking questions in class. It seems like he gets frustrated for you needing clarification. This class would have been a lot harder if I had not taken AP Stats in high school. Although, the examples he gives in class give a good insight to the tests. He always gives a formula sheet, too.

Comment:

He's smart but he's rude to his students. Very bad at explaining the concepts to students. Ask him for help? He'll act like you're wasting his time. If there's another option, take another teacher. You'll spend hours reading the textbook and watching youtube trying to teach yourself.

Comment:

Seems to understand what he is doing, but is easily the worst teacher I've had at communicating what he is talking about to students. His lack of proficiency in English can be a challenge at times, although accent is clear. Can be incredibly rude at times, calling out students for not knowing answers.

Comment:

Intelligent but bad at explaining material. Expect to teach yourself. Office hours always packed. He accuses you of skipping class and looks at you like your an idiot when you ask questions to clarify his confusing lectures. Only professor I've seen yell at a student or call them a liar. A is possible, B is likely, C is common. Drop rate is high.

This is a difficult subject, but Ruhi does a good job of explaining the material. Exams are tough, but they are manageable. Discussions are graded. He does have an accent, but is definitely understandable. I would recommend this professor.

Comment:

Ruhi is very nice and helpful but has quite an accent. He makes the exams easy enough. This class was Business Statistics. I took AP Statistics in high school, so it kinda helped with acing the class and the exams. He posts all his notes online. I only looked through the book (online) if I doubted anything on his slides. I recommend him

Although this class is extremely tough, Prof. Ruhi works hard to teach his students well. His grading is very fair and he always responds to emails promptly, even on the weekends. As long as you attend lectures, you can do well in the course.

Awesome teacher. He gave plenty of examples and the class material built on itself very well. Provided review times before tests. I never did the homework but had no problems. (I am a bit of a math-oriented guy - 780M/650E/600W SAT, FWIW.) Only downside is you got to walk to Van Munching, on the outskirts of campus.

One of those classes that either clicks or doesn't. He's a nice guy whose willing to repeat things to you over and over, and his tests/quizzes are straighforward. Class isn't mandatory but he gives MAJOR hints on what to expect on tests and exams as well as help w/ the homework. Very possible A

A great teacher. He really DOES want students to do well. He has an accent, but honestly I can understand him better than any math teacher I've ever had. He's very logical. LISTEN to his advice and DO the HW.
