Reviews of professor Nilesh Kumar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Great professor. Always starts the lecture with a review of the previous one. A decent amount of homework. Fairly easy exams. Show and pay attention in lecture and you will do well.

Dr. Kumar does not understand how to communicate effectively as a professor. The lectures were difficult to follow and understand and the slides were unreadable. I learned this course entirely from YouTube. Furthermore, he makes this class unnecessarily difficult compared to other professors and is happy after a 60% class average. DO NOT TAKE!!!

Tests are very difficult. Be prepared to learn EVERYTHING on your own. Prof. Doesn't explain things, when asked to explain he refers to his slides. I spent a solid week studying for the last exam and scored a 61. class average was in the mid 50's. Does not scale. Blames you for your grade. Required for my degree but will use another prof.

Kumar is a nice guy but a mediocre lecturer. He does post his notes online, and test and homework questions come from the book, so the class is fairly easy to teach yourself. Would not recommend if you aren't good at teaching yourself.

Terrible teacher. Believes he teaches to perfection and it is always the fault of the class for not understanding or performing on test. Does not curve or drop test questions. Hard to understand. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid Prof Kumar at all costs. Makes what could be a very interesting class both boring and difficult. Makes you buy several apps to take 10 second pop quizzes. Any other teacher would be a better choice. Prof finds a way to make an exciting subject tedious.
