Hands down one of the rudest professors I have ever had. I have never met any professor who is so rude and seems uninterested to teach their students. He truly seemed like he did. not care if we learned the subject or not. He said that calc 2 was the hardest math class yet he said we need to teach ourselves. He did curve a little at the end.

As a graduate student, I've had a lot of teachers/professors in my life and I can without a doubt say this is in my bottom 2. He expects you to teach yourself EVERYTHING and then gives 6+ hour homework assignments that he takes 4 weeks to grade. It's all so selfish and disrespectful and a waste of my money.

Professor Mukherjee really wants his students to succeed. He'll explain how to do problems during his office hours. However, grades are mostly based on exams and a few quizzes so you have to really do well on them to pass the course. Otherwise, take him, he made calculus really easy to understand.

I took a Summer calc 2 course with Professor Mukherjee, and he is definitely one of the best professors I've had and he cares a lot about making sure his students do well. I'm shocked to even see negative reviews on this guy because of how great he was. The lectures can be confusing at times, but if you put in the effort, you'll be rewarded

He is very confusing and sarcastic, I can't say he's a good teacher, he doesn't know how to explain material and expects everyone to know everything...you wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be here if that was the case. He's too busy trying to act like he's more knowledgable than you instead of educating students on what's important to know.

He's not a bad professor. He's very sarcastic and dry so he's sometimes harsh, but he really enjoys talking about math and it shows during class. He emphasizes the importance of knowing the basics and loves to talk about the textbook (even though the book is bad in my opinion). But as long as you actually try in class, he'll recognize your efforts.

I took professor Mukherjee during summer and he was very good at teaching. He cares about students and wants you succeed.He really emphasize on the basic aspects of calculus, he expects everyone to know and remember everything from calculus 1 because this class is continuation of cal 1. Overall, he is great professor.

Most of the quiz and exam questions were straight from the homework so as long as you do the homework, you'll be fine. He also gives partial credit which helps.

Doesn't have clear notes or PowerPoint, just talks and writes problems on the board Expects you to read the textbook and come to class already knowing the basics, only reviews what you taught YOURSELF and going over problems. If you don't have the time to TEACH YOURSELF calc 2 pick someone else for your own sake. (does not allow calculators)

Prof. M states that attendance isn't mandatory, but, will look down on you for not showing up. If you have an answer to his question, he doesn't acknowledge correct answers and tries to make it apparent that he's the smartest one in the room. If you're struggling in the course, he'll say you're not "invested" in his course. Drop his course ASAP.

Calc2 in 4 weeks is tough no matter who you take it with. Prof M made calc 2 a great class and super intresting for us, relating many topics to STEM fields. He is always there whenever you have a question and has plenty of office hours. Super nice guy too! Exams were vert fair, questions from hw and textbook. Im not a good test taker mine were 80+

Fractals were so annoying and hard to understand but he understood that it was a new concept for all of us. His hw assignments were physical packets and we had to take pictures to turn it in? Not the most ideal way to go about submitting hw. His lectures were decent and he tried to get the class to understand what he was teaching.

Professor Mukherjee is a great professor. His quizzes and tests questions come straight off the hw and lectures - (and they are the easier ones). Not alot of hw maybe like 10-20 questions average a week. tests and quizzes maybe 5-6 questions on them. Very knowledgeable and explains things good.

Professor Mukherjee has a unique teaching style, but if you're willing to put in the work, he can be a great resource. The lectures can be confusing, so make sure to use the textbook and take advantage of tools like unstuck AI for extra study prep. Overall, a challenging but rewarding class.

If you're reading this, it's never too late to drop or find another. Multitude of people in my class either: A. Dropped/withdrawn the class B. Failing/lost will to live C. Passed by some miracle Now, if you would like me and read the other reviews, it has some slim of hope? You might be the lucky few who pass. You're not try a different teacher.

Don't listen to these other reviews, bro is low-key the goat, he is a very good professor, he may get a little lecture heavy at times but goes through examples with the class, he gives two midterms, four quizzes, and a final, everything is based from the homeworks and textbook, there are no tricks, he's a simple and cool dude. I'd take him again!!!

When I saw Prof. Mukherjee's reviews, I panicked and thought I was over for BUT I decided to stick it out. I am grateful I did, he isn't as bad as everyone says. Is he a great teacher? Ehhh, he's so-so, he does lots of textbook problems from openstax or edfinity which you'll see on his quizzes and tests. He gave us a free quiz too. Just study!
