Reviews of professor Abhishek Deshpande

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I preferred my high school calc teacher. I had heard that the calc teachers at Madison weren't great, but I never realized they were "nasty". I think the only reason I was ok in this class was because I already had a lot of knowledge in calculus (and it was still pretty tough). Hopefully he starts taking his critiques more seriously.

Professor Deshpande did a solid job at teaching this course. Taught straight out of the textbook, yet reading the textbook is a good idea if you want to see a few more examples and be more prepared. He was always accessible and helpful in office hours. Practice exam was VERY helpful for our first of 3 exams. Homework is the other 15% of grade.

HE IS TERRIBLE!!! cannot understand him. LATE to his own class!!!!! wtf?! does not know how to work a microphone. i took AP calculus and did not attend a single lecture or discussion and did fine. claims he has a curve but sets higher grading standards than the university!!!!

Professor Deshpande does a pretty okay job at being a professor. He is pretty dry like mentioned in another post and I feel like even though he probably has a personality, he does not show it like ever. He focuses a lot on how to get to a formula when I just want to know what it is. Also, his handwriting is difficult to discern sometimes.

His lectures consisted of proofs/theorems, and rarely involved actual examples of the concepts we were learning. Although his lectures were the least helpful way to learn, that was not the worst part about him. He refused to release keys for practice exams or past exams, so it was pointless to do the practice exams as you could not verify answers.
