Reviews of professor Raj Kothapalli

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very difficult BME course as the lab is extremely time consuming, the lectures are difficult to follow, and the you basically need to know every topic covered for each exam. The grading of homework and especially exams are very difficult. However, both the TA's and Raj's office hours are very helpful for problem walk-throughs.

This class material is somewhat difficult, and I think Raj is a great researcher and person but not the best teacher. He is very knowledgeable and will do homework problems with you in office hours. He is generally very transparent about what content will be on the exam (except for a few conceptual questions). HW grading criteria is weird at times.

He tries. That's the nicest thing I can say...

the criteria was not hard, can be understood with proper studying. However his exams are brutal. He cannot give a practice exam that actually relates to the exam. He tells us to focus and study xyz, just to put questions he never went through on the exam. The class average was 45% on the midterm.
