Reviews of professor Arun Manoharan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He only reads from slides and is very hard to follow in class. There are a few extra credit opportunities but they are unbelievably hard to get the extra credit. Doesn't explain his grading and you often never know what you did wrong on a test or quiz even if you ask. Overall, he wasn't the worst but there are better professors to choose from.

Arun is unreachable outside of class and is blatantly rude to his students when asked a question. He admits to the entire class that he doesn't respond to emails because he "doesn't feel its his job" Took 4 weeks to grade our 1st test, barely b4 the drop deadline. Tests are applied material instead of testing over what has been gone over on the HW.

Was an OK professor. Laid out clear expectations. You can pass this class even if you fail every test because he gives weight to other things. He just reads from his slides. I learned more from the book. He is available during office hours, and lots of EC opportunities. Tests are just homeworks and practice problems and a note sheet is allowed.

It's hard to understand his lecture. In his Lecture, he teaches something and in exam paper he will make question something else. His grade is too tough. You need to right with exact answer not even approximate. Doesn't matter if you show the process. Very hard to get good grades. Suggestion or guideline nothing works on exam.

A very nice person and genuinely wants you to pass. But he didn't give much homework which made it difficult to study for the tests. The tests were not to difficult usually except for a few trick questions. The lab grade is what really saved me though so make sure you show up and write good lab reports as it will save you if you're in a tight spot.

One of the best teachers I have had in the program. He sets clear/reasonable expectations and is more than happy to help students who are struggling.

Its soooo hard to get good grade in his class! exams and quizzes are not related to the lecture.

Be ready to study from the textbook, he explains nothing, and only reads from slides. He is a tough grader too!! Even if u answered the question but had a few mistakes he would remove all points! Avoid him as possible! I had him because there is no other option teaching this class, really miss the previous staff.

One of my favorite professors. Explains everything well and truly cares about his students.

he is very meh. he cares about you and will help you. he barely gives any homework at all, which is bad this time because you don't usually get enough practice to truly teach yourself the content. does post powerpoint slides. quizzes and tests are decent, but still throws in a few trick/unfair questions. gives a lot of extra credit.
