Reviews of professor Anand Patel

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is funny but is not a good teacher. The tests are very difficult and not like the test review and the classes do not prepare you for them either. He does not respond to any emails and has often missed office hours. The only grades that are put in the grade book are the exam grades, so you can not tell what you have in the class.

I think the good reviews got to his head. Good: he is funny and lectures are interesting. Bad: hw and tests are very hard, you'll have double the amount of hw of other calc 3 classes, notes are mainly conceptual & way too simple to be useful for hw or tests, doesn't answer email, only office hours by appointment (if he answers you). Don't recommend

You will look forward to lectures (and even office hours) taught by Dr. Patel/BMP. He makes difficult topics approachable by ensuring that students understand the conceptual foundations before learning how to do any calculations. His lectures are entertaining, but they stay focused on the necessary class content. Best thing to happen to Summer 2020

I've tried and failed to understand Math 2163 multiple times, and no other proffessor has taught the material in such an interesting and simple to understand method. In addition, the powers of the shungite really makes the difference.

I thought Patel was a very good teacher and explained Calc 3 well. All the exams were nearly identical to the reviews he would give us, just exams from previous years. My only complaint is that the homework can be tough at times and his lectures don't prepare you well for the homework.

Took him last spring but this got deleted. Lectures are not paced well. Does not post his lecture notes and is very hard to reach via email. Did not have office hours. The HW was longer than what other Calc 3 classes had. Out of touch with problems assigned (didn't always cover everything you needed to know). Nice person but was also condescending.

Best math professor I have had in a while. I didn't want to miss class because I didn't want to miss anything he might do in class. It was a fun class. He is much more conceptual than other professors which was better than just learning mathematical steps.

Took Dr. Patel SP2020 and he handled the online conversion really well (the man used twitch to stream his lectures along with a discord server to help students work together). Even before I knew/experienced COVID/online, I knew I wanted to take him again so Im taking Calc 3 (Math2163) with him over the summer.

Professor Patel genuinely cares about students understanding math. He loved helping at his office hours and was always excited to teach lessons.
