Reviews of professor Abishek Tiwari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His lectures were entertaining & informative. He offered great feedback on assignments & involved the rest of the class when it was concerning our final turn in. This collaboration was helpful & got you moving in the right direction. Quizzes were relatively easy & open notes. He seemed passionate about planning & community development.

Tiwari is often absent, with very little notice. Lab assignments are easy to complete but the course otherwise is nightmare. His lectures are unorganized and usually devolve into tangents about Keanu Reeves. He works at several schools, best evidenced by his inability to grade assignments in a timely manner or be reached outside of class.

Tiwari is one of the best professors in URP at Cal Poly. Definitely knows his subjects very well. You can talk to him about anything, even if it's not planning related. get used to his jokes sometimes only he understands them.

Tiwari is an icon. I have had at least three courses with him and wish I could have more. I learn so much about topics I love and he makes it super easy to take his courses. There is a lot of research and writing to be done, however if you like urban planning then you'll be glad to do it. His classes are always chill and so is he!
