Reviews of professor Balakrishnan Viswanathan

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Bala was a really nice prof and was very passionate about chemistry! Sometimes he gets a little off track however if he isn't using the slides. He posts all the slides on Moodle so if he doesn't go through them in class, have a look! The book is also very helpful if you don't understand things but he is also easily available in office hours!

Bala is a nice guy, just not a great teacher. He will ramble on about irrelevant topics quite frequently, then rush over the important material. Did well on the midterm (easy), but not the final. Another prof wrote the final, and Bala did not cover roughly 1/3 of the material at all/adequately enough. Honestly just skip class and read the ppts!

Professor Viswanathan reads slides and does examples on lined paper. He doesnt provide or teach information that will be on actual exams.
