Reviews of professor Jignesh Mehta

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've had Dr. Mehta for the entire intro physics sequence, and he has truly been a bright light amongst the professors I've had across many different classes. He has a knack for explaining concepts in a way that can be easily understood, and he really did his best to adapt the class to an online experience. If you get the chance, take his class!

Quizzes do not align with the work we do in class or the homework, the homework is difficult as well. Be prepared to learn everything on your own because all that is done in class every day is he goes through questions in your workbook and there is no teaching involved.

Although the course material is quite tough, Dr. Mehta would judge you or give an attitude if the student did not understand. His quizzes were hard and he graded tough as well. He would say to not memorize the equations for the quiz only for him to not put them on the actual quiz.

Mehta is OK. I would say he's the best professor but he's certainly not the worst professor as well. He wants students to "learn physics" but doesn't seem to understand that we are all new to this. To be honest, I don't think anyone who in this class will ever use the term "magnetic flux" outside of class. He grades extremely tough on quizzes.

He is a really nice guy. He will of course be annoyed if you are slacking off or something, but he is very reasonable and teaches his class in an open engagement style. I think he just wants to see a reasonable effort put in. You definitely have to focus on the class notes in order to do well on the quizzes, even though attendance is not mandatory.

This class is generally easy if you took physics in high school. Dr. Mehta is really caring and will work with you to complete assignments and quizzes if anything comes up, you just need to communicate. He does rely a lot on group assignments and they can get lengthy but its nothing too bad.

Dr. Mehta is by far one of my favorite professors here at DePaul. He makes physics easy to understand and always makes the class demonstrations interesting and engaging. He wants his students to succeed and is always willing to help. He has such a positive attitude. I highly recommend taking Dr. Mehta for physics if you want a good year!
