very smart man but does not know how to teach

No Comments

Actually, I dropped the class the first day I attended his class. He handed out critiques his old students had written about him and I was HORRIFIED!

he is the most horrible teacher ever!!! Don't take him!! he is very very strict...if you were one minute late for class...he won't even let you in...and you can't even say "God bless you" to someone who sneezes....His teaching style is rather eccentric..he can not teach

He doesn't teach in American...Math is supposed to be a universial language, and I was lost from the door. I dropped his class the third day, giving him some credit and thought he would come around, however, you couldn't even ask questions!! I need that in a math class!

very hard and not clear

He's a horrible teacher, not helpful at all, not allowed to ask questions, he doesn't use a textbook, has you do an insane amount of unncessary preparation for his anal teaching style. Would not recommend!

LOL. I didn't have this teacher, but I was curious to know why 11 people came to my class from him the first day of school. My gf told me that he is nuts. A girl dropped her pencil, someone picked it up and handed it to her,she said ty, Bagchi went nuts on her for talking and threw her out.He looks like a nice Buddhist monk to me.

He is a hard teacher y i do not recoment him to nobody.He is like a dictetor

This man feeds off of people telling him that they hate him. His insecurity about himself is incredible. Nothing else can explain the entire book of critiques about his class he hands out. Must have killed an entire forest.

He's horrible. He refuses to help and tells the students everyday that their intelligence levels are inadequate.

I hated the class so much. He can't teach. It was either his way or no way. I had to transfer out of his class, cuz there was no way that I was going to pass. He was horriable

Yo For real... If you have This man.. You will have nightmare.. You will come out of class saying.. I hate this man. He makes you feel so dumb and retarded... DO NOT TAKE ATISH BAGCHI.. IF YOU DO.. YOU WILL HAVE A HEART ATTACK..

Professor Bagish is totally insensetive to students' needs or thier various level of math. From day one it was clear to me that I would not pass this class because the professor allow now room to mistakes or improvement. If you failed the very first exam you failed the entire course, which I think in unfair given the fact he can't teach!

the problem on the book for so easy for me but he make everything extremly hard,and he talk very fast with his accent and i could barely understand him,he shouldn't be teach in the school!!

Professor Bagchi... That Man.. I hate him.. Worse Professor.. First day handing out stuff like the Yellow Pages.. he was a Hot mess.. Everyone failed the the quizes... 1st day 40 kids.. 2 week 7 people left... Please don't take this man... Do your self a favor and drop ASAP...

He is so over the top with his "teaching" that it is too hard to understand him. You have learned one way your whole life but he refuses to teacht that way. Then on tests he decides to word it completely different then stated in class. You pretty much have to teach yourself and know the material already to understand anything in that class

Took Linear Algebra with him. He is the worst you could imagine. I have a 3.89 GPA but I still could not manage to succeed in his class I ended up taking it again with Santos (finally got an A in Santos's class who is still not easy -only two of us got 'A's- but at least he is a clear & good teacher so you can manage to learn; in Bagchi's class you

I can't believe this man is still working here. This guy is so ANAL!!!!! UNLESS U WANT TO HAVE A MATH STROKE, DROP HIM!!!!UGH!

he's a nice teacher but he doesn't know how to teach. Unclear teaching and expect students to understand and figure out everything themselves!!

this teacher should not be teaching! he scare student from the first class. is hard to understand even we have the book, but he changed a lot of things. so confused! he is not willing to help!!! even he gave out exam packages for students to study, in the real test, is different!!! save yourself time and protect your GPA, DO NOT Take HIM!!!!!!!><

WARNING.... Do not spend your time taking this class if you are not an Einstein! This professor is for most the strictest and most demanded person you'll ever meet. He does not teach the material step by step, excepts everyone to be math wise as as a prerequisites. It's very frustrating to see 25 out of 35 people already dropped his class.

Do not take his class. He will force you to do everything exactly as he says, from what type of pencil you write with all the way to exactly how you should take notes. He will also penalize and publicly correct you in the middle of class if you stray. He clearly knows what he's talking about, but he's a bad teacher. I dislike this subject now.

Dropped his class the moment he said he won't allow us to take his test if we didn't have TWO erasers and a 6 inch ruler. If your ruler was 12 inches we weren't allowed to take a test and got a zero. Seriously!

I heard the horror stories, but even the most harden teacher acknowledges their students if they take the work seriously. Not only did I do everything that was asked, I even completely redid my notes so that they would be perfect. The only thing I asked him to do, was check them, and insulted me, and told me I don't belong if I'm having problems.

he is not a teacher anyone should recommend to a student trying to succeed, his methods of teaching are alien compared to others and is confusing to retain.

to a student trying to succeed, he is not a teacher anyone should recommend, for his methods of teaching are alien compared to others and is confusing to retain.

Have no idea what we were doing or learning.

He dosn't mind if you don't understand something he just wants you to write everything that he is writing which he does write a lot. Has some stupid rules that you have to obey all the time

Just don't take this class trust me. You will regret everything.

I have run 3 marathons and they were easier than this mans class. He does not know how to teach and ridicules students for asking questions! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! Unless you're feeling like having your day and gpa ruined

He love to make students laugh but when it come to a serious question that deal with math, he give a smart reply back. I had try asking for his help but he blew me off and it was after class. To find what my weakness on math. I spend 5 hours a day in tutors to understand his math, funny part is THIS IS BASIC MATH! not ROCKET SCIENCE.

Worse teacher ever, He does not teach. He wants to show that he is the smartest. I think people should ask for their money back. Community College of Philadelphia should be sued because some students work very hard to get the money to pay for school. This is not Europe or India were schools are free. We pay for it and we deserve to be taught. Bad

If you learn math by practicing problems don't take his class. He doesn't teach out of the book. He gives out a set of homework problems but refuses to give the answers. He gives out a set of practice tests with answers but purposely puts wrong answers on some of the problems. He acts like he wants students to fail.

Don't take his class if you want to save money and time, don't even try taking this class he a teacher that feel good seeing student fail, he make you feel like your in grade school again, first rule in his class is you can't leave his room without asking and etc.

Atish was one of the most difficult people ive ever met in my life. Do your self a favor and stay out of this one.

If you are interested in studying higher level math, I would avoid Bagchi. There is no textbook or website to accompany the course. If you think he is making it up as he goes, you wouldn't be far off. Retaking calc III at a four-year university after this shows how much is missing from class.

Stay away at all costs took stats with this guy, insanely difficult not really because of his content but the speed at which he expects to keep up with and refusal to answer answer questions/repeat anything. Also is extremely rude to people and gets off on knowing more than the class he is teaching. Over half the class dropped after 1 month

He has a cruel way of teaching.

Attending school since Pre-k to now attaining my Bachelors this Spring; this professor by far has been the most difficult instructor I've ever come across.

The worst teacher I have seen. I felt like I'm in an elementary school. Two unopened pack of lead, two erasers, 6-inch roller... Really boring teacher. Standing at the door to lock it at 1.00. So, if you are late one minute just go back home. Also, turn off your phone out of the class, raise up your hand for the bathroom, and a lot of surprises...

He was so bad. My anger was up to the sky.

A boring and dunting teacher you'll ever encounter at ccp. he is so strict that he doesn't follow the book assigned for the course, all the tests and notes are symbolic and not easily understandable, the worst teacher ever.

This was the hardest class that I have ever taken. He is very strict and difficult. He won't allow you in if you're 1 minute late and you have to turn off your phone. There were 36 students in the class and about 25 people dropped by the 2nd day. Made a class that you could of gotten an A,B, or C into dropping it. Won' t recommend to him to anyone.

Poorly utilizes class time, gives out tons of work with unreasonable requirements. Stubborn and disrespectful whenever he makes a mistake. He gives out exams with materials he hasn't taught you, so most of the class had to copy each other's work. Ridiculous how some people like this guy because he cHaLlEnGeS the students. Take Hunts if possible.

THE MOST Strict professor ever. If you can, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He gave no lectures (for online), only gave some notes, no further explanations, nothing. DO NOT expect anything from him. The only thing you will get is a list of instructions about his rule. THIS IS HIS WORLD and EVERYTHING is HIS RULE.

He is such an awful professor!!

His course was the worse course that I took at CCP. It is a total time and money waste. You do not learn Math in his course; you only learn Bagchi's rules. He has weird, strict rules. There is no zoom classes, video lectures, sufficient course material, and office hours. Do not take this course if you really want to learn Math.

I wouldn't recommend Professor Bagchi. For online he provides no lectures. You get pages of notes that I found difficult to understand. A grad student went over questions but I didn't find him to be very helpful. I didn't find the class to be to excessively difficult but it is a lot of work. I should have payed youtube instead of CCP for this class

I attempted to take his Linear Algebra class online twice. I don't understand how he gets paid. You use notes that were typed up by a previous student. There is no lecture or communication with the teacher. He just refers you to study sessions with tutors. There's no feedback on exams to clarify things. Poor excuse for a teacher

bagchis whole personality and work ethic can be summed up in two cs: convoluted & condescending. his test instructions are two full pages long, his only study material, a notes packet he wrote, is unusable, and he constantly rants of past students mistakes. its no surprise that hes resorted to have alum run a discord for the class to self-teach

didnt know i could find someone worse than nelson craig...

"You have absolutely NO freedom regarding the manner in which you present work" Anyway, the tutors are the ones teaching this class, he just provides the notes.

So he only provides notes, guess what half the questions on the notes say? "Figure it out yourself" I wish i was kidding... not only that, but the notes are completely different than the actual exams. If you are a visual learner then good luck. Actually, if you are any type of learner then good luck.

Litterally belittles you in emails when he has yet to so much as show his face. No lectures, or proper videos to teach you, just his very difficult to read notes. And exams that litterally take a week to do.

I did not expect that community college class would be that difficult when Bagchi was the only person who could teach math163. He's a toughest grader I've seen, none of the documents that he provided could help you to solve the homework.

Bagchi doesn't teach. He wrote some terribly confusing notes years ago and hands them out at the beginning of the year and does nothing else. He seemingly spends all his time coming up with lengthy responses to student emails where he explains why he will not answer your question. His usual response is to "look at the notes". Rude, Unhelpful, Lazy.

I took him a year ago, but i still get emails of him BEGGING people to enroll in his courses lmaooo. And he gets other students to talk about how "great" the course is. The whole course is self taught and the only way to pass is by trying to make sense of the solved exams. Or asking a friend who took him the previous semester to send u their exam

"My students tell me that if one takes this class during the summer, one must understand that one will have no life at all during these seven weeks. "

Sad excuse for a professor. He is rude and condescending all while doing zero teaching. He posts a set of notes and does nothing further. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from him.

Be aware of the format you submit!

Just run away. Terrible professor.

Worst professor I've ever had

Possibly the worst professor I have ever met in my entire life. It's 2024, the only thing we have to learn from is notes that he took 10 years ago. Not one lecture, not one video, can barely ask questions cause if you do , you will get points taken off your assignments . You wont be able to find this guy in person either .

Day one drop. 30+ page unformatted syllabus. Misorganized notes full of broken English and typos. Out of only 8 graded assignments, one was to upload cover sheets and another was to write a critique about the teacher. For a high-level math course, this is embarrassing. Can't believe they'd allow someone like this to teach and gatekeep their dept.

It is my first week, spent 3 hours trying to read 30+ page syllabus and have no clue. Got 12 message through canvas with him crying and complaining about some dumb stuff.

if you want pain in your life choose bagchi, havent even started his class already dropping it, makes everything so hard and confusing

He is serious on failing you.

Extremely strict grader. Has taken off points for lines not being straight enough.

Bagchi's MATH163 class is a tough ride - notes from a decade ago, no lectures, and minimal help. Thankfully, Unstuck study and chatting with classmates saved me. Worth taking a different prof if you can.

I was registered for 2 hours before dropping this class in the first week. Don't be like me and made the mistake of doing the intro submission! Why does he ask private questions about students?

This Indian mate is probably the worst Professor at CCP. He makes normal exam questions ten times harder. Taking his class made me consider changing my major entirely since it's a required course. He might be the most unreasonable professor ever—he doesn't care if you spend six hours on his poorly designed exams and will still give you a zero.

Bagchi is hands down the worst professor and person ever to exist on the face of the earth. If there were a checklist of people going to Hell, he would be first. He must be very fun at parties. Don't take his class if you want to live a happy life. He should be kicked out of CCP.

Hands down the worst professor ever.He's quick to fail students. Will fail an entire test just because a perfectly straight line wasn't drawn on one question. Offers no real support or helpful guidance and often tells students to drop the class if they can't keep up. Taking this course is pure misery and unnecessary stress. Avoid at all costs!

STUDENTS DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR BY ANY MEANS. This professor is quick to fail students at his own will. He takes away points for things such as not being able to draw straight lines or not perfectly drawing a number. WARNING DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, HE WILL SABOTAGE YOUR GRADES.

One point is the system's bottom line, not mine. I'd rate this professor negative infinity. He forced us to follow 11 strict rules, upload exams under 25MB, and expected zero scores. Canvas gave no deadline alerts. He refuses exam emails and gave 0s unfairly. I'll report him to the school and education department.

Worst Professor ever! No textbook, homework or lectures, just 30 page exams you have to print yourself. If you get one question wrong or he doesn't like your handwriting you get a 0. If you got a 0 on the first exam he wouldn't bother grading any of the rest. This happened for all 30 in my class. How he has his job is a mystery. Deplorable human.
