Reviews of professor Vivek Venkatachalam

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Real great teacher. Our class had three different professor and Vivek was by far the best. He was able to explain physics in a much simpler way that was easier to grasp. Really wants his students to succeed and will do his best to explain things to you if you are confused.

Professor Venkatachalam is very passionate about physics, but it was hard to learn anything in his class. A typical day consists of 20 min of lecture and 45 min of practice problems. The problem is that the practice problems are much more difficult than the concept covered in the lectures, so I felt like I learned nothing the entire course

He's alright, nothing special. Lecture is a waste of time though. Most of the homework / Top Hat questions assigned in this class goes beyond what was discussed in lecture. And he teaches too quickly it makes it hard to decipher how to solve a problem sometimes. 

Paul teaches the course in the 2nd half of the sem. He's way better. Go to him for OH
