He doesnt use class time effectively at all

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Alok is the best Math prof I have ever had. He is just so passionate about math and teaching! He is always available after the class to answer questions. His lectures are interspersed with fun examples, puzzles and are overall very enjoyable. I have always liked math and now I like it even more.

he has a passion for math, but he definitely doesnt know how to explain things. he glides over base knowledge for a certain topic, and will go straight into examples with very VERY fast explanations and doesnt really explain WHY he does certain things. buy the textbook and teach urself. great guy, not very good teacher.

Alok is a really good prof when it comes to understanding lectures. He mostly focuses on the meaning behind each concept rather than the topic. The midterms and exams consist of proofs which doesn't require heavy memorization as he makes it easier to understand. Exams and midterms are fairly easy as long you do the review material thoroughly.

The concepts in Math 1500 aren't difficult to understand, but the explanations he provide are muddled, & he doesn't go over key concepts and definitions required to thoroughly understand the material. Whilst he does give many examples, his explanations on how he reached his answer are lacking or outright absent. Attend another lecture if you can.

Doesnt make use of class time effectively. Rushes the last 10 mins to finish his topic for the day, and starts each class reviewing things from previous days for far too long.

I had a great time learning in this course. Lectures were clear and he was thorough in his explanations of concepts, showed proofs and tried to help each and every student understand the material. He did an extra review class before the final exam, which was very helpful. I'll highly recommend.

At times the lectures could be confusing, however he will take time to re-explain things and wait for majority of the class to understand before moving on.

really good math prof, taking first year calc I didn't have much of a background in calculus so I greatly appreciated him going into detail in a lot of places I felt I was lacking before his class.
