Reviews of professor Bikram Sharma

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I don't think I have ever suffered this much because of a professor. Just finished a 60+ slideshow in class? okay, now take a quiz with super in-depth questions that weren't discussed right after. Quiz almost every single class? yup. Exam every single week after being given no time to study? yup. Don't suffer, avoid him at all cost. Truly awful.

Dr. Sharma is knowledgeable and willing to accommodate students if they ask for help. This course is quite challenging and students will struggle to succeed if they procrastinate or choose to skip class. Although the content is complex, Dr. Sharma offers multiple strategies to study for exams. Extra credit quizzes are offered to help boost grades.

I had this class online and thought Sharma did a pretty good job with it. Almost all his information comes out of the book, so it is definitely helpful to have to look at the end of chapter questions. Overall, this class definitely would have been harder in person. But Dr. Sharma is a nice guy and is always willing to help if you ask.

Very good professor. Loves Loves Loves the book. His lectures are important and basically follow the same pattern as the book chapters. They explain the same material. It is good to read the chapters along with the power points, in order you get all the information. He is so willing to help if you just ask. He is a very nice man.

This is a good teacher. Knows the subject and he is well organized. He teaches from an undergrad textbook (so not true that it is graduate student level). It just requires effort.

Dr. Sharma is truly an amazing person who cares about student success. This class is HARD but he will make the efforts to ensure every student is following along. Going to class is so IMPORTANT because everything from lectures are on the exams. He also gives in class quizzes which is why attendance is mandatory.

It's a tough class, you have to study and read the book. Tests are challenging. He can be hard to understand and lecture is too long. I wish it was a three day class (MWF) instead of a 2 hour class (MW). Overall, it is not too bad. He is always willing to help with tests. Go to his office. You will spend a lot of time with this class studying.

Professor Sharma clearly shows no desire to teach this class, this is shown in the fact that he insists on reading off powerpoint slides for 2 hours without engaging in any interaction with students. If you want someone who cares about teaching the class and has a desire for you to learn the material take this course with another professor.
