Reviews of professor Nabin Malakar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
That was Fun! Appreciate all the demo. Vectors, units, lab etc. He is fair. Helpful. Asks conceptual Q :/ . Physics is tough if you try to squeeze formula. NASA stuffs pretty cool though.

Professor Malakar does put a lot of effort into creating a class that is online through zoom, but the way he has gone about it is not bad, its terrible. He does not answer questions you ask, but runs around in circles, never provides feedback, and spends more time joking and getting off track than he does teach.

Approachable professor. I appreciate the patience to explain. I feel that I learned a lot...

Do not take this guy. My friend recommended him after taking PY221 saying he was awesome. We started the class and eventually, my friend withdrew. He changed. His quality of teaching plummets completely. His exams are extremely difficult, they are all from the internet. Homeworks are not from the book, he pulls them from Chegg. RUN! You are welcome

Top 3 professor I've had at WSU. Material is very hard but he's extremely kind and accessible.

Dr. Malakar is a caring professor and a very nice person. Although it was online due to COVID, he could not stay on track (although he made many jokes). Perhaps one of the friendliest professors I've ever had but made you feel dumb if you did not understand the material or asked questions.

Well, nearly failed Physics! After each test would go down, he would talk and motivate me. I used to enter everything in a calculator. He showed me how to work out steps and not jump in! Nice guy. Used to be scared of Physics. I think I am getting hang of it.

Professor Malakar exams are very difficult. He takes his questions from the internet and his assumptions on what he expects students to know from his fast pace lectures. His office hours are also not helpful. He never gives you an answer to your questions. Sometimes he makes jokes I find demeaning and offensive. Don' take this guy, he doesn't care

This professor is very helpful and understanding! He understands physics can be hard and works with anyone who needs it. His lectures can be confusing sometimes but the book is very helpful. Exams are doable if you study the book

Physics is difficult but he made it entertaining. Found him easier than Kolesnik, fewer equations thrown at you. Provides extra material and zoom meetings to help you understand. Take the help he offers, I think he looks to see who is actually participating and asking questions. That seems important to him. I loved his class, would take him again.
