Reviews of professor Mukund Chari

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mukund is fine, I was told the other professor for BCOR2304 was worse. This class is incredibly boring & pretty easy. Mukund asks a lot of questions to get to his point, you'll probably get embarrassed in lecture. The good news is, the textbook is your teacher for this class, you're going to self teach yourself literally all of it.

Professor Chari will ask a question and no matter what answer you give, it will be wrong. Grading is completely arbitrary and on the midterm just know that there is no chance that he made a mistake. There is a rubric, however it feels as though he doesn't follow it, so good luck figuring out what exactly to do.

I forever will remember Chari as one of the rudest professors I've had. When I approached him with a personal issue during office hours- he claimed that I was "being emotional" and that "he's not a counselor." Apparently, they don't teach things about empathy at UWash - I've never felt so dismissed during such a difficult time in my life.

He goes way too fast and is rude when someone answers a question wrong. He makes me not want to guess answers because if its wrong he will put you down in front of the whole class.

I see a lot of negative feedback about Mukund but I really like him. If you speak to him outside of class, he is understanding and nice. He's straightforward in class and can come across as harsh, but once I met with him outside of class I disagreed with the negative feedback. The class is SO easy, I recommend it.
