Reviews of professor Arun Manoharan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The professor uses slides to teach rather than writing stuff down and working through it. You constantly need to ask him to go back to previous slides. The are only a couple of HW assignments which makes it hard to actually understand the material. The quizzes are very short which makes simple mistakes very costly to your overall grade.

Goes a bit too fast when lecturing and discourages thorough note taking during class, so I had to rely on outside resources to do decent in the course. Grading was mostly good except occasional large penalties for small mistakes (might just be a TA though). Nice person and encourages participation and understanding of concepts from students.

Professor Manoharan is good at answering questions. He provides good explanations and demonstrations of the concepts he is teaching, and is clearly very passionate about the material. He provided good extra credit.

Professor Manoharan does an excellent job at portraying difficult concepts and shows a very clear interest in not only the topics that he teaches but also that the students are receiving and understanding the material. He really does care about his students and this is shown through his grading leniency and sense of humor.
