Reviews of professor Arun Gokhale

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Reads exactly off heavily worded lecture slides and asks obscure test Qs. Very difficult to convince to be accommodating during Covid (I did online with 10+ hours time difference). First and only course I dropped in my life ever because it became too much for a 3 credit course which otherwise would have been doable. AVOID HIM if you can.

He is not a good professor. Almost every class is him reading verbatim off the powerpoints, and he assigns detailed homework every week. The hw is just obscure facts off slides, and he justifies it by putting one or two of the 30+ hw problems on the test. The class isn't hard if you can do rote memorization, but Gokhale is boring and uninteresting.

Boring lectures,just reading the Powerpoint. The exam is much difficult than homework, but he curve at last. I totally dont want to take his course anymore.

An overall very nice guy. Agreed with the other review, lectures are basically him reading off the slides, but it's not so bad. Exams are from the HW, but HW is easy and not a waste of time. Exams are not too easy though, avg is around 80%, no curving.

Prof. Gokhale is definitely a very good professor, I didn't participate his other courses, but the one I took, he's much better than what other comments looks like. Caring, flexible, and hilarious. Indeed he read his slides, but necessary explanations are not absent, and if you are not clear, you can stop him and ask all the time.
