Reviews of professor Rohan Sood

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Makes you work, but guy knows his abcds of orbital mechanics. This should make my internship (and hopefully future job) easy.

Not the best, not the worst. Honestly, I did not go to class much because it was very lecture-heavy and boring, but I still did fine because the tests were multiple choice and not too difficult. I am sure there may be one or more better professors, but if Sood's time is the only one that works, it's a perfectly fine class.

Wants his students to do well. Just make sure to work the problems from his lectures over and over again and you should be fine for the tests. There are only two tests. Lectures are a lot of reading straight off a powerpoint and then asking the class to complete in-class practice problems but overall not too bad.

Sood is Good! Be prepared to work and learn a lot. Heavy on assignments which take a while. If you want to learn spacecraft dynamics, Sood is the man.

Dr. Sood is extremely knowledgeable, which is good but he also expects you to grasp things much quicker than possible. He moves through lecture notes very quickly. His tests were always extremely fair and he never made them harder than they needed to be. He also doesnt believe in partial credit so all exams are multiple choice.

Good Prof, gives real examples. Available to help. He uses slides but strays to give exciting examples outside the notes which helps understand actual applications.

Best professor Ive had at UA.

This is undoubtedly the most involved class I have taken at Alabama BY FAR when looking at the time commitment allotted to it. I have not talked to one person who has handled this class well. I refuse to take Dr. Sood again because of this, and I had initially planned to take his Advanced Astrodynamics course, but that has certainly changed. BEWARE
