Arvind is a really kind and caring prof. Personally I would take another class with him in a heartbeat. He really has a lot of knowledge to share, but is also very receptive to feedback from students.

Arvind's class was quite interesting, informative and wasn't challenging! His lectures can be boring but he'll always make an effort to answer students' questions. The midterm and final were quite fair and on the easier side. Would definitely take another class with him. Very knowledgable and passionate about the subjects he discusses.

He is the most kindest and caring prof, really passionate about what he teaches and made the course so interesting. Do not need to buy a textbook, solely relying on his slides, and exams are really fair. I would love to take another class with him

Lectures were informative and Dr. Saraswat really tries to engage the dead class by asking questions. Tutorials  easy 20% of overall grade. Try to do well on the midterm, because asides from that and tutorials, what's left is only the final exam. Easy course if you've done good in science 10 or are interested in environmental issues/concepts.

Sper easy course, I did quite literally about 4 hours of work after the first week of October for this course. But the prof is so monotone and boring about every topic except sustainable housing which he absolutely loves.

For our group paper worth 40% of our mark and group presentation that was 1:45 hours long we had no criteria and no feedback and gave everyone the same mark except one group. The paper he told me "anywhere from 3-100 pages long.' He will also lecture for up to 2 hours straight with no breaks nor lecture slides which is just soooo much fun.

Professor Saraswat didn't give any grading criteria for anything and made our group paper and group presentation extremely stressful. Even if you asked for help he would be super vague which made it even harder to understand what he wanted. Take this course with Dr. Hippmann instead as she is fantastic and will make the course much more interesting

A very caring prof but I found his lectures dull. He strives to make sure you understand the content. There is no homework, projects or papers. Only graded on exams and tutorials. Read his notes and exams are easy to pass. Being able to explain concepts and memorization is what gets you good grades in this class. There are no trick questions.
