Reviews of professor Sudhakar Prasad

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Prasad did the best he could covering all the material in such little time. He spent a lot of time going over concepts but not so much examples. It helped reading the textbook before lectures. He really cared about students and pushed us to reach out if we had any questions. Tests were similar to the reviews.

Dr. Prasad was seriously a great guy, the way the physics department laid out the class was just the worst. I hope it gets better for the future classes... His lectures supplemented with youtube videos led me to get the grade I got, but it wasn't easy. Probably the hardest class I will ever have, but at least there was a generous curve.

Prasad is not as good as other professors. He does ALOT straight from the book. There are alot of homework questions that you wont understand and DONT need to understand. His practice test are very much like the midterms

Professor Prasad is a very nice person and a decent teacher. What made this class difficult for me and probably a lot of other students was that the quizzes/exams are written by another professor who teaches in a different style (more problem solving focused) than him (more conceptual).

Physics is a hard class. Its one of the worst classes Ive ever taken. That being said, its hard with any professor. Prasad genuinely cares that we did well and tried to explain everything he could. Going to his office hours was very helpful. Very nice guy but very hard class.

In comparison to the other Physics 1302 professors, Prasad is not the best. He does a terrible job of preparing students for the qualitative understanding of the exams. He expects students to have more math skills than 90% of us actually have. He is a really kind person, but not the best at his job.

He wasn't a good professor. He was very dry and would confuse the class by saying something different than what was in the textbook. He would try to go through problems on the board, but would end up making the class more confused. iClicker questions every lecture count for attendance, and tests are a large portion of the grade. Work really hard.

He gets better as the semester goes on and we get more into the class. For the material being covered he does as well a job as any other professor. If you read the textbook before his lecture, then what he's saying will be clear and understandable. Sometimes will choose to display a sense of humor but most of the class is pretty dry.
