Reviews of professor Vikram Bhargava

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Bhargava is one of, if not the best teacher I've ever had. Extremely caring about all of his students. Starts out the class by asking if we have any questions about the class or anything outside of class, including internships, real-world situations, etc. He is a hard teacher yet rewarding. I looked forward to the class every day. He is inspiring.

One of my favorite professors at SCU so far. He can seem intimidating at first (our class went from 35 to 20 students), but he cares about his students and pushes you to do your best. There are a lot of readings assigned for each class meeting, but it gives you exposure to scholarly articles and improve your argumentative writing/thinking.

Professor Bhargava is one of the best professors I've had, he is extremely caring and intelligent. This said, you better get ready to work really hard in and out of class. You need to do all the readings in his class. On average it took me 6 hours or more a week on his homework. His term paper and multiple choice final are both hard as well.

I'll miss this professor, but I won't miss his class or his assignments. The quizzes take about 15-20 pages (double spaced 12 pt font) to complete and the term paper is massive. The weekly AE notes aren't too hard, but they take a while to finish. He's a great guy and he gives meaningful lectures, but they're pretty redundant.

By far the best professor I've had. Being attentive in class is the #1 way to get an A. I never had to take notes. His AE assignments require thought and effort, but that effort is rewarded with a good understanding of the readings which allows you to participate and do well on quizzes. Definitely take his class if you get a chance!

This is my favorite teacher at Santa Clara. I left every class with my jaw wide open and he made me think more than any other professor or teacher in my life. I feel better equipped to take on other difficult classes because of him. Always go to class, take notes, and get ready to get called on even if your hand isn't raised.

Bhargava is the best professor I have ever had. The class is not easy, there are lots of readings assigned each week but if you come to class and do all readings you should do well in the class. Bhargava is thought-provoking and engaging, I recommend that everyone try and take one of his classes.

If you're in the business school and opt out of taking Bhargava for MGMT 6, you're missing out; not only on a great learning opportunity but on the best professor you will likely ever have. I walked out of his class with tried and true career and life advice that made me a better person and student. You'll be challenged to work hard but do it.
