Reviews of professor Sudeep Bapat

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I love Prof. Bapat (I've had him for multiple PSTAT classes) for many reasons. My only frustration with him is that his grading on exams is a bit unfair. Small calculational mistakes will cost you as much as conceptual ones. Also: he lets you make equation sheets. DO NOT copy your equations from his notes. LOTS of typos compared to other profs.

Just a chill professor, choose him over any other ones

Very lecture heavy coursework, but if you watch the ,lectures and take notes you will do fine. He will go through the examples on the notes and highlight what's most important.

The material was difficult and the exams were on the harder side BUT if you're going to take 120B I would def recommend Bapat, he repeats concepts over and over to really hammer them into your brain and works problems out on the board in ways that feel simplified and practical. Had a midterm, final and 2 quizzes (scheduled, not pop-quizzes).

He is so great! Definitely take him for any class you can. He is really understanding and helpful. His equations are sometimes more complicated than the book so I would recommend getting them from there but other than that, he is very clear and does not make anything unnecessarily hard.

Made the class super easy. Definitely take him for any class you can. I did not have time to try in the class and still ended up with an A-. Highly recommend
