Reviews of professor Nimesh Patel

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He repeats the info on slides students already have access to and overexplains simple topics Youtube videos can clarify better. If you're already good at math, you're better off teaching yourself. But he does respond to emails quickly, gives extra credit, and applies big curves to exams. Make sure to pay attention because he does call on students.

I'm shocked at this prof's reviews.. In general, calculus is a HARD class and will take effort to do well. But prof Patel explains concepts well and gives you SO many resources to succeed. PAY ATTENTION in class, take notes and TRY on the homework. Exam questions are slightly modified homework questions which he will give you answers for in class.

Super awesome professor! At first, I was scared he was going to have an Indian accent that I would not be able to understand but he has a really cool New Zealand accent! He does a great job of explaining the material. Although the class is not mandatory, I would recommend going.

This class was pretty challenging since math is one of my weaker subjects, but if you put in the time to understand the concepts, you'll be fine. You can always go in to his office hours or reach out via email if you don't understand something too. He applied a huge curve to our final, and for homework you can keep redoing it until you get 100%.

Nimesh, while very educated and knowledgeable about his subject, simply does not care for students as he should. He made it clear that he didn't care if we came to class or even failed the class. That being said, his curriculum was easy to follow and he provided good resources.

Don't listen to the people on here that had a bad experience... he is SUPER knowledgeable and if you show up to class and pay attention you will do just fine. This is a hard class in general but he breaks it down and simplifies the concepts super well. I loved this prof. He is super willing to help, you just have to ask.

Not sure what other people are talking about but Professor Patel was great. He can be sassy but if you put in effort you can get an A. Great at tutoring too when its hard. He wants his students to learn and not just get an A which is unique. Gives lots of good exam prep. His slides are good so look through those too for exam prep. Great accent too!

Professor Patel's course was pretty simple. Super cool and really good understanding of the concepts. Attendance isn't mandatory, you could probably teach yourself on Khan academy if you wanted but he walks through lots of examples until the class gets it. There's weekly homework and a midterm and a final for tests but he gives study guides 4 both.
