Reviews of professor Vikram Deshpande

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is too concerned with having a perfect bell curve with grades. He doesnt care about the students doing well or not, all he wants is the average to be a C. He was upset when a lot of students got As on a test. He also is very heavy on readings. Make sure you have plenty of time to read the textbook (which is pretty good actually).

I just transferred, and Dr. Desphande is one of my favorite professors at the U so far. He keeps himself busy with his research and dedicating time to the department, but also makes you feel important and capable as a student. Tests and grading are as expected for an upper div. PHYS class. Can't wait to take 5510 from him this fall!

Vikram is a smart guy, but he probably shouldn't be a professor. His lectures are very boring and confusing and do not help with the very difficult homework he assigns. Luckily, he did give opportunity to get test credit back (of course, otherwise no one would've passed). He was often rude when answering questions and wasn't approachable.
