Reviews of professor Gaurang Desai

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Avoid taking this professor at all costs. I have never had a professor who was more bored and apathetic than his own students. He will grade your assignments during finals week so you will have no idea if you are even doing the work correctly, and when you do get your grades back, the reasoning for what you got is incredibly vague.

He is the worst professor I have ever had! Unfortunately he is going to be around at least for the next couple terms. He gives extremely little information about projects and expects you to do more than that without explaining anything. His rubrics don't include anything helpful and he won't grade your work until the end of the term.

He doesn't really explain how to do projects and homework. He grades very tough and never tells you why you got that grade. You need to go because he takes attendance. During lecture he will ask a question about material he is supposed to be teaching us and when no one answers he will just sit there for a few seconds, It's pretty awkward.

I like him as a person however, he is not a great teacher. He expects a lot from you but doesn't explain what he wants. He is an incredibly tough grader and doesn't get your work back in time to correct your next project. He is one of the only design professors so I would recommend getting on his good side.

I was constantly going to class, and towards the end of the term, he most clearly said that there were no more lectures (after week 8) and that we just need to meet with our group and don't have to use class time to do it. So, naturally, our group found a better time, but he knocked our attendance grade from 100% to 89%? For missing ONE class.

Single handedly the worst professor I have ever had. He does not care about his students or what he is teaching which was undeniably noticable the first day of class. He is the toughest grader all of his assignments averaged as a class to be a low B or C. It was impossible to get above a B on anything because he had no idea what he was teaching us.
