Reviews of professor Abhishek Halder

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He makes it very possible for people to pass and is probably one of the more organized profs I've ever taken. He can be a little bit sharp and impolite but I still think overall he is one of the better teachers I have had at UCSC. Don't skip class and do all the homework and you'll be fine.

Very very fair class. The midterm was incredibly easy, and I personally thought the final was difficult but it's because the ending material was difficult. Fortunately, this class is about as easy as a math class is gonna get, it's literally memorizing how to solve problems. Abhishek taught well, answered questions well, and was always available.

Fair Warning: he has a pretty thick accent. Besides for that the class was pretty straight forward quiz every week in discussion section, HW every week, midterm was pretty easy, but the final was brutal about a 50% average. He put a pretty a generous curve on the final grade though so it evened out.

Abhishek did a good job of teaching remotely, but in many cases, he went too quickly and he did not answer questions in detail. Keep up with content as it builds upon itself and understand practice problems. This class would definitely be much harder in person so be prepared for that.

Prof. Halder is amazing. His lectures are well structured and he makes the course interesting. He cares for his students' success, gives extra credit, and is accessible outside of class. Final exam was easy. I would highly recommend him. :)
