Reviews of professor Ashu Kumar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If for projects you "merely" do EVERYTHING he laid out in the rubric, you will probably get a B. Grades obnoxiously tough. Tests are pretty easy to get As on if you study for them, as they're multiple choice and matching. Ashu is very nice and smart. Capstone proj isn't as hard as he makes it seem.

We love Professor Kumar! He is very intelligent and encouraging. Some students do not realize that he is only pushing them to do their best because he sees their potential. I enjoyed taking his MIS204 course in the fall because it helped almost all of us get started with learning Excel and many other great tools we never knew about.

Good guy but will definitely get on your nerves at times. The class itself is super easy and so is the capstone project, BUT he will make you feel stupid sometimes when you ask questions and will push you off to his TA. ATTEND THE LAST CLASS ZOOM OR NOT! he threatened to fail me if i didnt give him an excuse as to why i missed the 20 min zoom.

Kumar has a horrible habit of not explaining himself well, and he actually took an entire class to shoot down criticisms and concerns from an anonymous survey we had to take. His projects often make little sense and he expects you to be a mindreader. He can explain topics in lectures, but his instructions on things he actually grades are horrible.

He is an okay professor. He does tend to give assignments out of nowhere but he is at least reasonable. The capstone project can be annoying depending on who is your partner. Overall he is an okay teacher.
