Reviews of professor Gautam Dasarathy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He was a VERY lenient grader, especially for exams. You could miss all the questions and still get like a 50%. His lectures were really good and he goes at a really good pace. If he is teaching 350, take it with him. You won't regret it.

Dasarthy was great. His lectures were clear and easy to follow as long as you attend class. His tests are significantly different from his lectures, but he grades pretty generously. I was struggling at one point in the semester and he reached out to me first, which is rare in the engineering field. He truly cares about each of his students' success

He is an amazing instructor. Perhaps the best instructor I've had at ASU. Gautam has developed an amazing teaching strategy, allowing the class to flow through the syllabus naturally and guided by students' inquiries. He inspires students to ask questions and guides discussions about said questions in class. I definitely recommend taking his course

Lectures using slides but does a good job of integrating example problems on the board as he lectures. Gives reasonable homework and is a forgiving grader. Encourages class participation but never forces anyone to speak if they don't want to. Very helpful in office hours. Asks for feedback on his teaching so he can better accommodate students.
