Reviews of professor Arvind Agrawal

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Awful grader. Followed instructions to a T on exams and still missed a boatload of points; this is a common theme for other students in this course as well. Bi-weekly group projects in a totally online class, which makes for a difficult time. His lectures are dry, they take two hours on end just to watch, and I can barely understand him. Don't take

I am very disappointed by this professor. He really made no effort to care about his students or explaining his reasonings. My main issue with him is the grading; it simply is not fair. Even when following instructions and examples exactly as shown, he will find some way to take away points. He also does a poor job lecturing. DO NOT TAKE!

Professor Agrawal was overall okay. Boring lectures. Hard to understand. 4 group projects throughout the class and one big group project at the end. Also, chapter summaries for every class are a must.

Dr. Agrawal is passionate about the subject but assigns a lot of work that is not clearly related to the exams or even materials. I appreciate his efforts to create connections with the students, though. He does this really well and shows he is very caring of his students and their struggles.

This guy has had a long and successful career abroad, so he brings a lot of real-life experience into the classroom. Some students comment on how hard he is to understand because of his Indian accent - but I didn't find this to be the case. He's very helpful and caring if you ask, and easily accessible. Lots of group projects  less exams.

Dr. Agrawal was nice and tried hard. Sometimes it was hard to understand him. His group project wasn't too hard. Show up and get attendance points and complete the project and you will do fine.

He doesn't seem to know what he's doing. His lectures are very boring and when he hands back homework and the pieces of the project it is difficult to read his handwriting to try to figure out what you got wrong. Also his "study guides" for the exam are three power point slides with the format for the test and a list of like 4 short answer topics.

He's a terrible professor. The class shouldn't be difficult but he tries to make it hard. The chapter summaries and tests are fairly easy but its the group projects that will hurt you. He is not clear on requirements, tough on grading and not clear on where you can improve even when the entire class is asking for it. Incredibly rude as well. Avoid!

This Professor is my favorite I have taken in the 3 years I have been at UNO. He genuinely cares about you learning and wants to see all of his students succeed in and out of the classroom. He is very understanding and will work with you if you have any complications with the course. He is somewhat of a tough grader when it comes to papers.
