Reviews of professor Rajendra Khanal

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst professor I've ever had! He grades so harshly, it is indescribable. He doesn't even explain the mathematics, he just gives you random equations and expects you to magically know how to use them.

For someone who liked Physics in high school, having Dr. Khanal as my professor for Physics I made me rethink my passion for physics. The online homework he gives is a grade booster and given all the time, so make sure you keep up with that. He does not explain the material very well, so you will be learning a lot on your own.

Tries to be nice, but after two semesters with him, I have come to believe that he has no idea what he's talking about, has no set grading scheme, plays favorites way too much, and is essentially winging his entire course

Nice guy and very smart in his knowledge of physics but sometimes does not explain things well. lectures are fast paced. Tests are hard but gives lots of extra credit opportunities to get your grade back up after you bomb his tests.

Horrible professor. His classes are split. Two days a week in lecture and the other two in his lab working on problems from the book. During lecture he flies through and derives equations while not explaining what they mean. There is no explanation of physics concepts. When working on problems in the lab if you don't already know what to do oh well

Honestly a very nice and chill guy out of class, in class he does expect a lot, 17 chapters in one term is the most out of any physics 1 class at UPJ, but it is hard to pass up on the copious amounts of free points from online quizzes, homeworks, and a take home exam. If you put the time in, you will not fail.

Although he can be a little rough to understand, his lectures for lab are very informative, and he explains the concepts very well. His labs are either a lot of fun or do not work because of bad lab software. The prelabs range from helpful and relevant to absolutely unrelated. He is a nice guy who cares about his class!

I taught my group more than Khanal did I think. If you do not have a good high school physics background, your time here is probably gonna suck. My man here goes at his own pace and if you can't keep up with him or are struggling, his main response is just "Come on, Really?, just do the problem". Tons of points are up for grabs in his class tho.

Lacks the ability to teach effectively. Very intelligent in Physics but can't seem to explain concepts in a way that allows students to learn. Very hard to understand at times, especially if over Zoom. Gives lots of opportunities for points but rushes through the material to try to cover as many chapters as possible.
