Comment:

In this class, expect not to learn from the lectures. You will be participating in a writing marathon as he zooms through one section with few examples and tons of writing. The tests and quizzes consist of class examples just 10x harder in limited time. If you have ADHD, anxiety, or similar conditions DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Comment:

Impossible to understand. If you don't understand something you definitely won't understand how he explains it to you. Quizzes are every week 10 mins to complete. If your someone who is constantly late, you will miss notes as he starts class exactly on the dot. do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS PROF

Comment:

Nice man but should definitely NOT be teaching. His accent is way too strong, whispers the entire time and goes at the speed of light. Many times he was corrected by students for mistakes he had done. Although he is available for help if needed, it is a waste of time because he simply doesn't know how to teach it. This class was my WORST nightmare

Comment:

Dr. Ratnaswamy is a pretty good teacher. His accent is thick, yet he's explanations of topics are extremely straight forward, and even slightly basic. If you understood calc 1, calc 2 with him is a breeze. The exams are straight forward, and the weekly/daily quizzes come straight from the homework. Not a bad guy at all.

Comment:

Professor was a nice man and very intelligent, but forgot that we are not anywhere near the same level that he is in comprehending the math info for this class. I failed the course also and never failed anyone before. Went to tutoring as well as study groups and still could not get a handle on the material.

Comment:

This teacher is very dull, all of his teaching is very boring and very monochromatic, even for a math class. Work is like a chore in this class and a lot of pop quizzes. Plus, he doesn't really help you if you are stuck. Not recommended.

Comment:

He's got communication problems, but if you can add, subt, mult. and divide like (you're a math/sci/tech major, right?) then by all means, take this class. It's EASY. He goes fast and people will keep asking dumb computation questions, but he doesn't get into that much hard stuff. It's all in the book anyway.

Comment:

Hard to understand. Quizzes are easy as long as you practice the problems he gives you in class. He tries to fail you on the Midterm. He throws in a ton of fractions to see if you mess up. He grades fairly.

Comment:

JAJAJA, this guy is so funny, and he smiles just because. Don't get me wrong if you don't have to don't take him, because he's not clear at all, and his classes are way boring. Also if u r not good at math, there is no way that u can pass his class.
