Reviews of professor Bikram Sharma

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This professor is very difficult to deal with. Reads and teaches directly from the powerpoint for 2 hours, and is very strict on tests and quizzes. Minimal chances for extra credit. Grades only by tests and a few quizzes, would not recommend taking a class with.

This is a very difficult class that requires participation, reading, and lots of studying. He wants you to do well but he does not just hand you an A. Go to his office after exams to talk about what you missed. The lectures are long and there are several quizzes in class so be prepared. Lab seems pointless to the class but it helps your grade.

Due to covid class was completely online. The lectures were all about 1-2 hours long read straight from PowerPoint. The rest were over hundreds of slides with a ridiculous time limit. The lab online was difficult because you get put into groups and have to submit one paper from the group. This impacted my grade and I rather turn in my own work.

I hated this class. This was one of those - reads off the slides, doesn't bring up anything from the book but all the test questions are from the book, drones on - type professors. I went to see him and he didn't help me at all. His exams are not on RLB but are very difficult still. I averaged a B on nearly all of them. Show up - small exc quizes.

Dr. Sharma is a very average professor. He reads off of powerpoints and goes really fast in class, not to mention lectures are 2 hrs long. Textbook not necessary, since most test questions come from powerpoint, but good for review questions. Labs are long and somewhat pointless. Put in the effort and you will pass!

The overall score he received is from years ago. He has recently changed the whole class and it is awesome. Very kind and wants his students to succeed. Attendance isnt mandatory but there are pop quizzes occasionally that really boost your grade. Reading the text book ?s in the back of the book helps with exams. This course is very doable!

Show up to lectures and you will receive extra credit from quizzes or assignments. Read the book when he tells says on the slides that you should read the book. Exams are hard but if you study the slides and understand them the tests will be from the slides.

He is nice one on one but he is so hard to understand and just reads straight off the slides. He has chapter quizzes and online exams. The exams are tough but the quizzes are so much worse. The questions consist of the smallest detail that was not talk about before. Good luck!

Sharma, though knowledgeable on physiology, displays no passion for the class or topic and is very monotonous. Additionally, despite his advanced knowledge, his ability to communicate the information and knowledge of the course is quite poor, and often makes the information more confusing. Nice guy, but not a good professor. Avoid if you can.
