I approve this class for anyone trying to learn the basic fundameantals of electricity...
Dr. Balu is an outstanding and knowledgeable professor in Statistics, as well as other thing. I was afraid to take the courses, but with his teaching skills and techniques I recieved an A+.This class was very informative for even other classes I am taking!
What great person to take this class for. He was helpful to all of us in this class. He use our time in the classroom wisely and was big on one on one time.
He is really nice. He made the course statistics really easy and interesting for us. I love him a lot!
he is a wonderful professor and very helpful and taught the material to us with easiness.
He made this course very interesting. He was very patience in making sure I understood the material before moving on. The course required many assignments, but he made it fun. I did not miss a day in the class because missing a day is like missing a week since some much information was covered in one section. I now know more about Statisics.
This class was very well taught.
He is great. I recommend to take his class.
He's a great teacher!
HE IS GREAT
verey good
He was a very good teacher and i recomend him to anybody.
He is a very good instructor. Will help you out with work as needed. Easy to talk to and not overbearing.
Very helpful through out the classes I had with him.
Incredible professor! Prepared me to be successful in the workplace.
He was willing to help any time. he is very dedicated to his work and has knowledge on everything he teaches.
He was a good teacher and i would love to have him again
He helped me to better understand the material.
This class was very helpful, and Dr. Gokaraju helped me to understand the material. I have a much better understanding of this course now.
very good teacher and he explained the material extremely well.
he is the best teacher ever
I think this he was a very good teachers with lots of knowalage of subject matter.
Dr. Gokaraju was a very nice, laid back professor. He cared about each one of his students and wanted us to learn as much as possible from this course. I hope to have him again in other courses.
i enjoy thus class
Dr. Balu was helpful and was very knowledgable on the material
He is very educated.
I enjoy his class he is a great teacher.
this was a good class
It was interesting!!
He was alright. Needs to work on teaching skills. Most of his class are lost.
Pretty good professor
Had to pay attention in class or else
Great class but it was tough. Much practice and studying is needed. Overall, I learned alot...
Enjoyed the class, I still know very little about statistics. HAd a few minor problems with students being to verbal. Dr. Balu was able to extinguish the issues.
The class was great.
Great lectures with good PPT and well-designed practice questions. This course makes statistics interesting!
I loved the class. It was always fun and he was always willing to help.
I was not excited about taking statistics on a graduate level. I had taken the course during undergrad and had barely came out with a C. This professor really gave me a new understanding of statistics.
The professor was very attentive and I could tell he wanted us to learn as much as possible. One of the best classes I've taken so far
I would have enjoyed learning how to do some of the work by hand.
Make sure you learn how to apply the test to different sernarios, because in the end he will spring it on you Final Exam and or Midterm !!!!!!! Beware!!!!
I was very excited about this statistic class and would encourage students to take Dr. Balu class
I really enjoyed this class because of the challenges that were thrown in front of me. I was scared at first but the challenge made it more interersting.
Class was a challenge.
Dr. Balu seems to have a thorough understanding of what he's attempting to teach us as a class. He's very helpful during and out of class time. I recommend him as a professor for this class.
Before taking this class I had no interest in statistics. I was very amazed at how easily I was able to learn SPSS software. Dr. Balu was very helpful and I will recommend this class to other students
I really enjoyed the class:0)
I would definitely take more classes from this professor. If you are looking for a professor that is sympathetic to the fact you might be clueless on the subject area, this guy is your guy. He will help you and he will be genuine. Don't be about the GRADE be about learning the content.
Class was a challenge, however I learned many concepts I was previously unfamiliar with. It is possible to earn an A, you just have to work for it. Overall good class and good teacher.
I was very intimidated by the jargon and the classwork originally. I spoke with Dr. Balu and he was very helpful in reassuring me that the information could be mastered with more effort on my part. Balu is easy to talk to and consistent with grading. Overall, I have learned a lot in this class.
He knows his information!
Dr. Bala did a great job teaching this course. He was very professional and helpful as well, I have no complaints!
Dr. Balu was very professional and helpful throughout the course. I will admit that although I had prior interest in the class, at the end of the semester I understood it more and was more inquisitive. There is still no love for the subject area, but I do have a better understanding of the concept.
Dr. Bala, Really took his time to explain what was going in his class. Great Teacher!! Very Patient!
The class was very interested
This class was very interesting. Prior to coming in, I was very fearful of what to expect because it has been years since I was in a classroom not to mention a statistics class. Dr. Balu, thanks for the experience.
Great Instructor. He was very helpful. He knew the content of the class extremely well. Worked with the students in every way possible to make sure we really understood the material. I would certainly take a class under him again.
One of the best instructors I have ever had.
Do NOT take him online for Educational Statistics. The class was very confusing. I e-mailed him many times & have gotten no response. I was very confused & go no help from him. It was awful!!
Knows his stuff and will help you out. Lots of dry humor. Only thing i really dont like, he runs over his class time every single class.
Dr. Balu definitely knows his stuff.
Balu's tests are kind of unique. they are worded so precise that they are hard. Take notes from his powerpoint, and make sure to listen. that's all you need to know.
Despite the strong accent he is very helpfull in working with you. If you show up you pass.
I enjoyed Dr. Balu being my professor. I think he is a good professor and I would take many of his classes.
it was a good class
He knows his material very well and he is super nice. Best teacher i have ever had.
Dr. Balu is very good at teaching the material.
He knows the info he is teaching the class.
He works with you to make sure you understand the material. Also if you care about coming to class and care about the material you will pass.
I think this class is important to me getting the job i need to make the money that I want to make.
The professor was a good guy to talk to and he is really helpful. He is always willing to help when ever you need it.
Great knowledgable teacher. Very Helpful
He is a great teacher and really enjoyed taking his class.

GREAT TEACHER KNOWS HIS STUFF VERY UNDERSTANDING OF CLASS PERTICIPATION GRADES FAIRLY TOUGH TEST BUT VERY HELPFUL.
very knowledgeable. explains well.
The course was awesome!
It was very educational.
I enjoyed the class.
I really enjoyed all my classes under Dr. Balu.
Throughout the semester i started off terrible but after he saw my academic potential he help me catch up to where i need to be. He is tremendously patient and will go out the way to provide you with whatever resources is needed. I totally recommend taking this instructor in the future. WARNING His accent will be hard to understand but youll get it
The greatest teacher I had helped me to expand my brain with hard work ethics
DR BALU IS THE BEST THING GOING AT UWA!!! the DOl program would not be anything without the GREAT Leadership and background Knowledge that he Provides. The issue of Job Training and Knowledge was greatly improved while working with Dr. Balu. And he is one of the FEW instructors that will take time to help others students away from normal Classroom
awesome class! great teacher! learned a ton!
Great teacher and a wonderful person.
Funny teacher. Very helpful with you. All you have to do is try show up to class and he will help you all he can.
Helpful in everyway possible. Anytime I needed help, Dr. Bulu helped me all he could.
Very funny. Very helpful. He will help you in any way he can all you have to do is show you want to learn, give effort, and he will help you in anyway he can.
Helpful in everyway possible. Anytime I needed help he did all he could do to help.
VERY GOOD TEACHER
made me feel like a second class citizen. He expected people to know the material before he lectured on it & when he did lecture, you basically had to figure everything out on your own, thank God for his TA. Very corrupt program, Not only should an individual avoid his classes, but they should avoid the entire Eng. Tech program. YOU BEEN WARNED!
Dr. Balu is terrible. He can't teach anything since he expects you to already know the material. Made me feel like crap, and actually verbally embarrassed me in front of the whole class saying that I was stupid. The Engineering Tech program at UWA is absolutely awful and should not be taken since it is unaccredited and lacking in education.
Is a very caring teacher that actually teaches and does not just read out of a book. If you fail his class, it is your own fault.
Doesn't teach. Excessive HW. No feedback. I didn't spend tuition money to teach myself and then be graded harshly when I did not learn the material he did not teach. Beware!!! Take any other professor offered other than Gokaraju if you want to learn or retain anything at all.
