Reviews of professor Rishi Sharma

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof Sharma is a nice person; HOWEVER, I did not like him as a professor. He loves putting stuff we hadn't discussed before in the exams. So as much as you prepare for the midterms, you never know if you're gonna do good or not. Would NOT recommend.

Prof Sharma is overall a nice person but I wouldn't recommend him for intro econ. The 2 midterms were difficult but definitely doable, and going to office hours is very helpful. However, the final was a lot harder than previous exams and had questions on things we didn't really cover, and he didn't curve anything.

Sharma is the only Economics professor I've had who has been truly great. He is able to teach the material very well, and he doesn't make the textbook necessary at all. His lectures aren't the most interesting, but if you pay attention you will understand the material. He's also very friendly and open to questions. Definitely would take him again.

I really liked Professor Sharma as a professor. The material is not too hard and the pace of the class is just right. The class can be a little difficult because most of your grade is based off of 3 very difficult tests, but the class is manageable. Professor Sharma is a nice guy but sometimes his lectures can get repetitive and boring.

Prof. Sharma was a harsh grader and not a very helpful professor. I studied a lot for his class but still failed. His exams covered things that we did not cover in class. He also does not give any curves. Be prepared to be confused all the time and have little help during his office hours. I would never take again. Take Prof. Anderson instead.

Sharma is pretty good for Intro. He is a nice guy and is low key funny. The course is pretty difficult because of the curve.
