He is very helpful and nice. Cares about his students. Well spend as much time in class to go over something you dont understand. Dosent rush the sections. Will postpond exams/quiz if the class tells him they arent ready and oh yeah he is HILARIOUSLY FUNN

Hasn't complained about lateness/absence yet.

I personally didn't have any problem understanding his accent. I think Mr. Peiris is freakin hystical! Honestly he cracked me up in class.. this being said Calc I was probably one of the hardest classes I've taken. He assumes that you know everything. Don't take him unless you are confident in your math skills.

Nice Teacher, difficult subjects. But very helpful with students. He is a good teacher. He never failed me regardless of my awful test scores!

i think he is awesome. even with the accent i understand him so much better than my teacher last year and i finally understand what is going on in class. he is so nice and always makes sure everyone knows whats going on. and he is so easy going im so glad i got him for a teacher.

he is a really good teacher, he healp me with everything. i really like his calss

I had Mr. Peiris for 3 math classes. I enjoyed his teaching style. He tries to use real life applications of mathmatics.

he is he best math teacher i have taken at ircc he explans the problems well and is helpful

Precal was quite an easy class but not beause of him. His accent made the concepts harder to be understood.He was very helpful!His tests were all from a program named Maple. Overall, he was good but do not take him if you do not like math.

He's great. What else can i say. Come to class, do your work and you'll do good walking out with an A.

great instuctor

Great teacher. I had trig and Pre calc at the same time and made A's in both. His accent really isnt that bad. if your worried about it sit in the front. He's pretty funny. he makes the class interesting w/ stories and applications. you should only have a hard time with his class if your really stupid.

very good.

(I don'tremember the class #, sorry) Had him for precalc. His accent is not that hard to understand, unless you are an idiot that likes to come to class just to pick on the teacher's speech (like someone in my class did when I took Dr. Peiris a couple years ago...). He is very nice, and if you are nice to him, he will be very helpful to you.

Very good teacher!

He's among one of the best math instructors on campus. He was so awesome that i also ended up taking him twice, Trig and pre-calculus.Very easy to get good grades in his class. Please do the maples and understand your materials and you'll be more than prepared for the exams. All i can say, for those who are planning to take him, enjoy.

Very simple class, he teaches using nearly the same quizzes he requires you to take online and the tests are the same format. He definately knows the subject well. Very good teacher.

At first I was scared with his heavy accent but you get used to it after a week or so. Sometimes he can go through the material a little fast but if you ask him to slow down and explain a little better he will. He is very nice and hes funny too. His tests are exactly the same as maple, he just pulls the questions right from maple! easy easy easy

I took short classes with him a couple/few days a week. I never had to open the book. I wrote down all of his notes and did the quizzes until I was confident with the material. I thought this would be my hardest math class, but Dr. Peiris made it easy. I would never want to have to take another professor for math again. It was so easy.

very easy on Precal. if you're not good at math then this may not be the best teacher for you. he doesn't baby sit. it's not that he's bad it's just that his way of teaching is through Maple which can be a little confusing at times. just practice a lot and you'll be ok. (he's very funny by the way, he can pull multiple calculators lol.)

A. Peiris has the unremarkable ability to use multiple calculators at the same time (Probably via manipulating Space-Time). Peiris is a tough but fair Math Master who is excellent at teaching. He selflessly reteaches students grade school concepts so that they may conquer Calculus. Truly a saint, would highly suggest you experience his class room.

His moods are different everyday and most of the time he is on a bad mood! He treat his students like high school kids. No one can help you with Maple program which he insists that is the best math program ever. It will drive you crazy! Hopefully one day they will banned Maple TA from IRSC.

GREAT TEACHER! I have had him for both pre-calc and trig and will be taking him for calc as well. He is a little hard to understand but if you actually pay attention and go in with a good attitude there is NO reason not to get an A with this teacher. I was out of school for 15 years and he had no problem explaining simple aglebra when I needed it.

What is wrong with you people ?? All this comments are just not making sense. He is a great teacher. He is the teacher that made me love and enjoy trigonometry. He is really easy, helpful, and funny. Every class is saying that if you need help with math and physics he will help. He is explaining every detail. The exams are really easy.

Great teacher and makes Calculus pretty interesting. Challanged my to prove his theory about making soda cans smaller. Wierd, but pretty cool. Anyone can pass so long as they take notes. BTW: Don't buy the book unless you need Calc II or III.

Great teacher and is very knowledgeable in mathematics. Had him for Pre calc and trig and got easy A's in both classes. He is an entertaining teacher that will keep the class interested. As long as you keep up with the Maple TA assignments, you will have no problem passing the class. His test are very similar to the quizzes. Highly recommended!!!

Prof. Peiris is hilarious! He's a great teacher, but his accent is very strong. No need for a textbook because everything you need to know he will tell you. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTIE on Maple TA because the exams are IDENTICAL to the quizzes. I love his courses and I recommend any of them to anyone.

I took precalculus algebra and everything is done on the software Maple. We didn't use the book at all in class unless you need a visual. His accent isn't hard to understand if your paying attention and he's actually a pretty funny guy. Good teacher and class was easy.

Look, the people that don't like this guy are the lazy individuals that never take time to learn a little for themselves. With that said he is probably my favorite and most helpful math teachers I've ever had. His humor is alright but at least he tries to lighten the mood. Finally his accent isn't the best but it doesn't take long to understand it.

Awesome Professor!

I love Prof. Peiris! HES THE BEST MATH PROF. AT IRSC. He knows his math REALLYYYYYYY well and you'll even learn some Physics along the way :) I DEFINITELY recommend him

First off, let me just say Hi professor--because I know you're reading this. He's a funny guy and he's very smart. Lol he cracks jokes everyday so that keeps the class interesting. He's by far my favorite math professor ever.

Excellent professor. Great sense of humor which helped make the class more interesting. Genuinely interested in helping his students succeed not just in his class but in life. I had to study harder than I ever have before and I appreciate him that much for it. Thank you Mr P!!

Does a great job at explaining everything, and he prepares you for the tests so there'll be no surprises. You'll have to study, but once you get used to the way Maple wants the answers, it's not bad at all. Better than the other Calc professors for sure. Don't buy the book as he never uses it.

Professor Peiris, lectures at a good speed, easy to follow at 8am. Uses Maple TA which is a much better resource then the text book and it also saves you a few bucks. He pokes fun at students, which makes Calc half enjoyable. Keep up the good work professor.

I was so scared of calculus,but this professor made it super easy. Professor Peiris is very funny. Plox enjoy this class.

Great Teacher! He does poke fun at students but most of them deserve it!! He actually wants us to learn and be the best we can be in our fields of work. Hes willing to help all he can and will explain things in elementary steps. He also does a great job at making an 8am calculus lecture as enjoyable as it can be.

Great professor for PreCalc. Goes over every example in class that you need to complete the MapleTA assignments. Maple can be a bit confusing at first, but after awhile its fine. Very funny guy...don't act stupid bc he will make fun of you. Highly recommend this professor!

Peiris will help you if you ask for it. His expectations are clear from the begining. He has a strong India accent when speaking. I had no trouble understanding him though. I took 3 classes with him. A,A,B

His class was very easy. He teaches by following along Maple, although at times I couldn't understand him becuase of his accent. His tests were SUPER easy as long as you practice on Maple.

Besides I speak other language, at the beginning I does not understand but later I did, even if I don't pass this class, I would say thank you and definitely see you on my next math class.

All you need to do is take notes and do all of the work on maple and you'll be fine, and there is no need to memorize any formulas. His accent could be a little heavy sometimes, but just ask and he will repeat himself to clear things up!

Relaxed class atmosphere,tells jokes while teaching,making the class enjoyable.Willing to work with you after class and is sympathetic to his students.Accent takes a day or 2 to get used to;doesn't hinder his teaching at all.Only quiz and test grades;bad at math,get a tutor ASAP.Recommend for the type of students who took AP Calc. Good Luck!!!!!!!

He does have an accent, but I never had any trouble understanding him. Got used to it after two classes. He was funny. He cares about students, and you can tell he wants us to not only pass but enjoy taking the class.

he has an accenet, and his writing can be alittle tricky but you will get used to it in 2-3 classes. he only assigns quizes and test. every question is from the notes that he gives you in class, he doesn't miss any steps. he is a very strict grader.

He's such a smart teacher that sometimes he forgets his students don't know it as well as he does! But the good thing is, if you don't understand it the first time, you can go to his office and he'll help you for as long as you need! I did that last semester and I would not have passed without his help. One of my favorite and most helpful teachers!

I love this professor. He is so crystal clear. Go to class, take exact notes from the board, and study those notes. The tests are derived straight from what we learn in class. He does not try to trick you or make you guess around for what you are supposed to know-what you do in class is what's on the test, plain and simple! He made me enjoy Physics

Dr. Peiris is there to help if you ask. He expects you to do the homework even though it's not required. His lectures are amusing. He's pretty funny. His tests can be rough, but only if you haven't learned the material. They tend to be short, but if you haven't studied whats on it then you're bound to fail. There is a quiz/test almost every week.

Asoka is a serious professor and can be funny at times however, if you want to pass the class you have to take notes, study them and for tests, study your quizzes. There may be some tricky questions but that only means to study from the book also.

Amazing teacher. His accent isnt bad as others have said. Show up, do your homework and quizzes. Youll get an A or B.

I don't know why people say he is rude most of his comments are funny and bantering not really rude. Overall he taught very well although the short time frame made things hard. The high frequency of tests and quizzes is annoying and makes things hard but he does grade very fairly and is a nice guy. Didn't have any issues understanding him.
