Reviews of professor Pulin Mondal

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Course in general should be revamped as it pure rote, and is amplified by the way Dr. Pulin teaches the class, as their is no enthusiasm or care for students actually taking away anything useful from experience. He's completely inflexible in delivery which is a shame because this could be an enlightening experience if the prof thought critically.

Pulin Mondal can't even run a capstone course! He makes the civil engineering department look like trash. No one in their right mind should give him any level of responsibility because will find a way to mess up any situation. Today we have the virtual capstone fair and he can't even organize that.

This professor does not give enough time to write his tests or exams. Many other professors will give extra time for technical difficulties of writing tests online, however, Mondal does not. He does not allow you to skill questions if you are stuck on them and practically has to skip the question and lose marks, or spend half an hour figuring out.

He tells you straight up what he's looking for in exams. Follow the format of inclass exercises and you'll be fine. Sometimes the exam questions are straight from tutorials and assignments. To pass/get a decent grade, you really have to care about what you're learning because its a tough course with heavy material.

Purpoosly tells TAs and Profs to lower course average. Why should we bother trying in his course? Poor motivator as a teacher.

When taking exams  make sure to have another friend/ person sit beside you who could help you scan and email you the answers. You might have to do it 4-5 times. So that's an easy 10-15 mins saved. Make sure to have a fast internet connection. Any glitch and you are done.

Nothing organized! He was testing if we cheating or not during the course instead of knowledge. Unfair to people studying! Paying for professor who reads the slides and then gives us an exam 90% outside the materials he read during the lectures!

Sustainable design should be an interesting course but this experience was quite the opposite. The lectures were basically presented as textbook slides (3 hrs long!), tutorials were poorly organized and the tests were structured in a way that was impossible to finish. Course desperately needs to be revamped otherwise you're paying to learn nothing.

After so many years in the teaching industry still has no idea how to structure a course. Absolutely clueless prof, the quality of education I got was not worth $. After so many bad course evaluations I don't understand how he's still a professor. His requirements are inconsistent, grading is inconsistent and he is not lenient. Unqualified to teach
