Comment:

He's a great prof, and very good at explaining as well, with lots of great examples that definitely were helpful for exams and quizzes. He cares a lot about his students and is very good at answering questions. He writes on paper that he projects onto the screen, and he posts the notes as well, and gives good suggested problems to do.

Amazing lecturer. Subtly funny, writes great notes, and is amicable all around. You can tell he truly cares for his students. Would take his class again; he's currently making MATH 117 relatively nice for me. I'm not even done the course, I just want to praise him. Hope I get him again.

Comment:

His lectures were very useful in understanding the concepts taught in this course. He also went beyond the material and showed real life applications with differential calculus using his background (biology). I decided to write this because I noticed he only had a 3.8/5 rating and felt like that did not do him justice at all.

Amazing prof, does so many examples and even posts summaries before each lecture. The summaries are super useful and give an overview of his upcoming lectures. Loved this course because of him.

Kohandel's one of the best profs I've come across. His approach was brilliant in Math 138 and his notes and video summary approach is one of the best. He has a set of problems in his notes and a different set of problems done in class for more practice. Furthermore, the extra help sessions are even better for practice.

He gives summaries before the class which help out and you can review them again. He's pretty engaging and covers great examples which show up in tests, assignments, and exams. He's overall a great guy and I enjoyed his classes thoroughly. He's passionate about applied math and I went into it because of him. Would take his class again 100%.

Good prof. Mostly high school review imo. Take good notes down and look over them every day to not fall behind with the material. Ask questions when needed, he will assume you know the concepts.

Great Teacher! He gives so many examples, but doesn't concentrate on the concepts. Assumes you took all of the course in high school! After you study the concepts by yourself, his examples and notes become very clear and useful! Pay attention, and don't talk in his class!

Very well organized and helpful professor. The assignments are not easy, but doable. You learn a lot from the assignments as well as lectures. The course is definitely not easy, but If you are passionate about stochastic processes, then you will enjoy his class.

He doesn't know the subject and couldn't give the direction what we have to learn and where to focus on. And gave the assignments without teaching the material. Also expecting to something similar for the final exam. No chance to have a good grade because he made this in this way.

Comment:

He is great. If you attend every class, you will understand calculus very well. He use tons of example in order to help comprehension. In my opinion, examples are much useful than theorem. He cares about us since he always asks whether we need more example or not. Go to his office hour, trust me, you will get HELP!
