Reviews of professor Naveen Vaidya

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Pros: attendance is mandatory but all class notes are put on blackboard. Not a lot of homework. Lenient grading, Easy curriculum, Easy tests, and quizzes. Textbook is optional Cons: Lectures are very unorganized and sometimes I don't even know what I'm learning. Also, he's foreign, so he's pretty hard to understand. Easy class nonetheless

Lectures are useless. unorganized and fast. You must rely fully on the homework and youtube. You essentially have to self teach your way through this class. I took AP calc AB and this was hard.

If you have a choice between Blomgren or Vaidya, choose Vaidya. He explains the concepts in a simpler, more intuitive way, and his tests are easier in general. I took Blomgren for Math 254 and had to retake it again with Vaidya. Gives extra 10% boost to your final exam score if you attend at least 90% of lectures.

Hes just a lecturer for this class, do not expect to get answers from him when asking about logistics of class. Carretero runs the class and he is a menace. If vaidya cared about students he would step in with carretero instead of doing nothing. this is the hardest class ive ever had. he is the best option for calc 2 if u have to take it though.

Took his class last semester, it was very easy. I went to all of the lectures but it is not necessary because the notes are posted online. Sometimes the lectures were vague but things were clarified in the small section class. I took calc BC and this class was a lot easier, just more work to complete

My class was Prof. Vaidya's first Math 151 lecture, he barely knew what he was doing. He knows math, but so bad at explaining I had to learn on my own. We also went online halfway and this class was impossible, they wouldn't post our attendance and gave no leeway. They tried to get people for cheating on online tests (with class notes) w/ no proof
