Reviews of professor Nakul Kumar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was so boring and I had to sit there for 3 hours. It's econ so I did expect that. The professor was great and wanted his students to engage in discussions, but sadly we were all too shy. He gives out extra points for participation and I thought his quizzes were much harder than the actual tests. Just complete his assignments.

You need to pass your exams of an average of 60% combined score. Does not provide study guide for exams. Don't do extra credit unless he tells you what it's worth. I wasted time on extra credit and only got 5 points added toward exam, not worth it at all. Yes, that was the maximum amount of points you could earn.

Took 8wk online class. Dont buy book, it came with mindtap. first 2 exams are proctored and the questions come from the practice quizzes. last exam is a non-proctored take home exam on mindtap. there are discussions. able to work ahead, i was done with everything by wk5. most answers can be found if you look in the right places. pick this professor

AVOID AVOID AVOID, this professor is sassy and blames students for not getting As, he called the entire class "incompetent" yes you read right. Take professor Hollar and avoid this man. For being a new faculty he is very rude and tough grader.

Professor Kumar is a nice guy. He cares about his students and will help you succeed only if you're willing to ask for help. He isn't going to come to you if you're failing. He is knowledgeable and gives good feedback when requested. Only problem I had was that he wasn't that accessible outside of class. It was an online class so that could be why.

He is a great lecturer with a good personality and sense of humor. I appreciate that he keeps the class on track and does not go on long tangents. It is also nice how he refrains from overly politicizing things unlike many other professors.

Honestly the course is extremely easy to follow. The professor is very helpful. Do the assignments, take the quizzes, participate in discussion boards and youll pass the course no problem. Its a tough subject, definitely thought Id end up barely passing but I made it.

I took his Micro and Macro Econ classes. Very clear criteria for grading. Micro class is harder and two exams form your grade. Some tricky multiple choice questions so you need to know it. He does a great review at the start of every class covering what you did previously. He takes his time to make sure you know it. Gives good sample tests.

Dr. K is the best for ECO. He is really laid back, not much homework. Only one each chapter and a couple writing assignments. Quizzes are easy and based on homework. Same with midterm and final. He gives great lectures and makes sure everybody understands. Always open to questions and great overall! Would definitely take again.
