Reviews of professor Sheel Ganatra

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
textbook was free online don't spend the money. 30% Homework was graded and scored, problems from textbook, so you have to know your stuff. 10% take home quizzes completion based. two midterms and final, (15%, 15%, 30%) respectively. Hard grader in terms of showing work/ small errors, but very good teacher. all lec notes posted online on blackboard

Ganatra was a good professor. Definitely lecture heavy and dull but he covered the course material quickly and fairly. The exams were reasonable and overall he is a good professor. I did not find him super accessible in office hours but that may have been just me!

I read rate my professor thinking the Sheel was the best. He's a nice guy and accessible, but you're better off taking a different math 125. Exams are WAY harder and weighted more (75% of ur grade) than other math 125 classes. Homework every class (1-3 hours per homework assignment) and quizzes 2x a week. Its all self study and lectures dont help.

He is a great professor. Grading scheme in the class is made for you to make a good grade. He is always eager to answer any question. Class is fairly difficult but not overwhelming. W professor.

Straight-foward A. What was taught in lecture was what was on the exams. Reasonable amount of homework which helped us learn. Provided hella  practice exams: all midterms and finals for each year since 2010. If you did your homework, went to class, and did the practice exams, you're good. Kind of awkward and limited emotion when lecturing though.

Very kind professor. He teaches fast but that is because there is so much material.

He tracks the textbook very clearly throughout the semester. Quiz is completion based. Homeworks are graded generously and weighted at 30% and they take a lot of time every week. Midterms were generally long and difficult but were heavily curved. I think he is a very solid option for calc 3 and he is a super nice guy.

Ganatra is really sweet, but not all of the concepts are covered in the lecture. Maybe it was because of being online, but I definitely was teaching myself out of the book outside of lectures, and there was almost daily homework. Definitely the hardest class I've ever taken. With that being said, he was willing to help anyone who struggled.

Prof. Ganatra was amazing and accommodated his students the best he could. The course material was hard and he was great at explaining it.

Professor Ganatra is amazing! He is incredibly respectful of his students and values their feedback regarding the course or the deadline. His deadlines and expectations are very clear. His tests are manageable if you rework the weekly completion quizzes and the practice exams before the exams. Would take him again for another undergrad math course!
