Very nice guy. Easy to work with. Very friendly. I will recommend him to anyone.

friendly with the students; We had our first quiz and it was very easy. Do not count off point off innocent mistakes.

Cool guy. Quizes and tests are easy he basically tells you what will be on them just review the practice problems. He doesn't take off points for wrond answers is more concerned with your thought process and how you got to that answer. If you go to class everyday there is no reason why you shouldn't get and A.

Very good teacher, he explains everything in detail, gives plenty of examples, and the students pick when you want to take the test. He is an awesome teacher and if you go to class everyday you can definitely get an easy A. Plus he's not too bad to look at either ;-)

Students select when they want exams. You can full credit even if you make mistakes in calculations. Go to Class every day - easy A. Very friendly.

Great Prof. I HATE math and I'm horrible at it. I got an A. I would take him for all my math classes. He explains things well and will do what the students request. He's always trying to be helpful. take him if you can

^^ Is extremely helpful. If you fail, it is your own fault cause he provides almost every oppurtunity in order for you to pass........

I just started taking this guy. previos comments are right, if you fail its your fault. he gives EC like it is going out of style.

He is the greatest man ever! He makes it so easy for you to pass his class! He really cares that you do good. I think 95% of my class all have an A! Love this man!

i'm completely retarded when it comes to math, and he makes it easy to do well in the course. he splits test 50-50 for in class and on webct. very helpful for students that don't do well in math but need to take credits. highly recommend.

Love this man! He is so cute. He makes probability and statistics extremely easy. You have homework every week on WEBCT, tests are inclass and webct, and offers extra credit..he lets you go home early occasionally, he really cares about his students. well earned pepper!! and if you fail your dumb and should drop out of college!

Amazing professor!! sooo easy and really helpful...i am terrible at math and i got an A easy! i would definitely take him again :-)

Dr. Channa's classes are SO EASY, and this is coming from someone who is NOT good at math and doesn't like it AT ALL. Weekly webCT quizzes will boost your grade, and he teaches at a slow pace. Sometimes I wondered if he was actually TRYING to give us each an A. This was my grade in both 217 & 105. TAKE HIM! You won't regret it.

this guy is the best math professor you could ask for.he really knows how to explain things well & he has a great personality--very pleasant.he takes attendance everyday and he prepares you well for the exams.overall he just makes it a very easy class!

Great Prof! Knows his stuff and wants you to get an A. Do the practice problems and go to class - he gives points for attendance. Do this and you will get an A and understand Calc.

I do not think he wants anyone in his class to get below an A ALMOST ALL HIS STUFF IS ONLINE and includin 1st Part of All the Exams Great Professor. EASY A ONE HW A WEEK can not find a better math prof.

This guy was nothing short of amazing. Some of the topics were a little difficult to grasp at first so I suggest forming a study group for additional clarity. All in all, a great course taught by a great professor.

Not a bad professor. He really presents the material in an understanding way, and is willing to help anyone struggling. Something that you will not find in the higher level math classes.

channa is great

A great professor! Allows you to put up HW questions you can't figure out on the board so he or another student can show you how to do the problem. Takes his time with everything to make sure you keep up but does so without making you feel stupid. Uses the book only for HW, which is good because the book is hard to understand. Highly recommended!

Great professor. I dropped calc when I took it with Donley. Goes through things at a perfect pace. Extra credit if you don't miss any classes. Graded homework, which sucks but at least motivates you to do it. Always willing to help. Take him!

The best math teacher I have had yet. Amazing teacher he is so systematic and clear when he teaches. Half of your test grades are based on an online portion of the test which is based off of your online homework assignments. He gives you the answers for the homework assignments and uses those questions for the online portion of the exam.

He is my favorite professor so far, if you want to learn calculus i definitely recommend dr. channa

Dr. Channa really wants everyone to get an A and that's great. But he lets you get away with mistakes in order to do it. In CalcI last semester he let people interchange d/dx and dy/dx like they were the same and they're not! Now in CalcII it seems like he's doing the same thing. Nicest man in the world, but needs to pay more attention to detail.

Really great prof. Cares about everyone. Some homework, quizzes, exams, papers. Some extra credit. Goes pretty fast in Calc II compared to I but definitely still recommend him. Erases the board completely for all those Obsessive-compulsive people!

Never thought i'd actually enjoy calculus until after i took this class. He really made it fun. Make sure you keep up to date with the homework and you'll def. get an A. Attendance in mandatory! And never come late or text message...u'll have to sing and dance. Not joking

wow what a great prof!! He really cares about his students. You will learn calculus! BEWARE,other iup math profs dont like him cause the % of students that fail their class get A's and B's in Dr Channas class. lil accent but no prob understanding him

Channa is by far the best Math teacher at IUP! I had taken Calc with many other professors before in many different places and failed every class. After taking Channa's class, I left with an A and actually understood what I learned! Never pass an opportunity to have him for class!

I really enjoyed this class. Channa cares about all of his students and is very helpful and wants you to do well. If you try and want to succeed, you will.

Gave extra credit for perfect attendance, easy tests, you dont have to take the final if you have an A. Gives credit for trying on tests and homework even when you get the wrong answer. Dr. Channa is the best professor I have had. He will fail you if you get caught texting and takes off points for missed classes

Strict, yes. Did i learn? yes. he locks the door the minute class starts and has a ' you text you fail' grading policy. however, his teaching skills are easy to follow and remember. he is the only math teacher ive had who cares about not only the test, but you learning and retaining the information. im looking to schedule him again

He is a great professor. He is strict, but if you go to class you will get an A. He locks the door when class starts. And if you use your phone in class, he will fail you. Take him for MATH 115 because he will make Calculus a lot easier for you.

he is very strict but he clearly tells you what you need to do and if you do the homework and study, you will do good on the tests. class is very boring though and long.

Excellent professor. Lenient grading. Helpful during office hours. Tells you what will be on the tests. Offers bonus. Nice guy, but sometimes goes over the time limit. If you use your phone he will fail you. He also locks the door at the start of class. Don't let that scare you from taking him, there is no reason you can't get an A.

Channa removes distractions from the classroom, no cellphones. Don't be late, door is locked when he begins. Very helpful, clear, and willing to explain. PreSummer session was challenging but I managed a B(no math in 13yrs). I would recommend him to all(esp. Calculus) Very thorough and concise, willing to explain when you have questions! Excellent

TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN. HE WILL TEACH YOU SOMETHING, AND SOMEHOW IN SOME WAY YOU WILL ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND IT.

Very good professor. He is willing to go the extra mile to help students succeed in his class. He does have strict rules, but he is well worth taking. The reason why he makes these rules is so that students actually learn how to do math instead of sitting on their phones and not learning anything.

Class was extremely easy for me but he taught it extremely well. Take him for any math course and you will do well. As long as you can get past the no cell phone rule he is great.

Very strict and kind of harsh. But makes calculus as simplistic as possible. Sometimes it can be too simplistic when his example problems aren't as hard as the book. Attendence is mandatory and very important as the book doesn't really help at all. Once you get past the rules and other things, okay guy. Definitely wants you to understand.

I do not consider myself a math person so for me to understand calculus at the level that I have can only be due to this teachers guidance. He is extremely helpful and will work with you until you understand the material

One of my favorite professors at IUP. He's a great teacher and makes calculus easy. As long as you come to class, do the homework, and study, there's no way you shouldn't get an A. He's very funny and makes class interesting and the no cellphone policy really isn't that bad. Most of the kids in class receive and A, and don't have to take a final.

He is very nice and helpful in class. He will take an entire class tying to help people understand things. If you have previously taken calculus this class is a piece of cake. Also if you come to class it is very beneficial on tests and in the long run.

Amazing prof. Very helpful and will break calculus down into visuals to make it very understandable and memorable. Exams are extremely easy. Answer doesn't matter as long as work is correct. Very organized and very friendly. Also, if you do well and do all of your work he will give you an A on the final(a secret he keeps until the end).

Dr. Channa is THE BEST teacher I've had at IUP. If you have the opportunity to have him as a teacher, DO IT! He is one of one of those teachers who genuinely care about his students' success and will do anything to make sure his students understand the material. A good amount of students get an "A" in his class. Do your homework and go to class! :)

PHENOMENAL. Calc is intimidating for most, but his methods of teaching made it the simplest math course I've ever taken. Attend class (you get extra credit at the end if you do regularly), do the hw (he even has us put answers to hw questions on the board), get a firm grasp on what he teaches in the first few chapters, & his class is an easy A.

Best professor i've had for math! Made sure you knew the material and had open note test online. In class test you were allowed to use a formula card. No cell phone policy, but that didn't bother me. Gives extra credit that is NON-math related! I would recommend him for anyone!

Great teacher for any math course! You do not need to buy the book, but you do buy an online program which is EASY! Online homework's and test can be taken anywhere and notes are allowed, in class test a notecard is allowed. I am very bad at math and passed this class with a B. Attendance is optional, but for a good grade i'd suggest going.

Dr. Channa is a pretty good professor. To have earned s better grade, I should have went to him for help. VERY strict no cell phone policy. 1st test is online, 2nd was half online & half in class, 3rd was in class. I liked him, I'm just really bad at math, so I should have asked him for help. I think he would have made things clearer for me.

Professor Channa is very clear in what he expects from his students. Class is definitely not an easy A. Not mandatory what so ever, but I wouldn't have been able to pass if I didn't go. All tests are online proctored exam.

Prof. Channa is an amazing calculus teacher and one that made me realize math isn't as hard as it appears. He really makes you work for it, but at the same time he provides you with the information needed to do well on tests and quizzes. His strict no cell phone policy was surprisingly well liked as it kept your attention on the material at hand.

Dr. Channa is an awesome math teacher. He is such a nice grader, as he will try to give you as much credit as possible for whatever you've done. He's also hilarious! There is homework, but if you continually do it throughout the time you have it, you'll be fine! Hes only harsh on phones but you shouldn't have your phone out anyways so :)

HW & Quizzes are frequent, yet useful, so complete all HW & study for quizzes. Use his office hrs. & tutoring stations as much as you can for help. Be attentive and participate in class. ASK QUESTIONS IN CLASS. Bonus points are awarded to those with perfect attendance in his class. TURN OFF UR PHONE AND PUT IT AWAY WHILE IN CLASS OR HE'LL FAIL U.

Gives a fair amount of homework, but it's due right after the test. If you attend every class you can get bonus points (enough to make up for a quiz). Tests usually have 10 or 11 questions but only 9 or 10 of them are graded.

Dr. Channa was one of the best professors I've had being at IUP! He makes learning the subject easy and explains everything so well. There is a lot of homework but you have weeks to do it and it is very helpful! There are many quizzes which are very helpful as well! He has a no tolerance rule for cell phones! Overall a great professor!!

He is best Teacher in whole IUP MATH department

Seriously the best math teacher I have ever had. I have always been a B-C math student, but Channa makes it achievable for anyone to get an A. His teaching methods are great and he was really encouraging. He can be a stickler about weird things, like cell phones, but he is big with curving and extra credit (so it makes up for it).

hes an amazing math professor. Best in the department by far. If someone asked a question (even if very dumb or something he just said) he wouldn't get upset just gladly repeated himself. He is extremely strict about cell phones but you honestly do better without it and it just becomes a routine to turn it off. he is very weird and funny its great!

Oh he is best teacher in whole stalk hall where he teach us . He is best so helpful and he is awesome trust me if you hate math (like me) take him he make you love with math. But yes he hates phones during class and i believe he is right because we should focus on our study during lecture

Dr. Channa is by far the best math teacher I have ever had! I will admit, I am not the greatest at math, but he made it easy to understand and he kept class interesting. He does give a lot of homework, but it helps in the end. Always attend the review sessions before the tests and always study for the quizzes! TAKE THIS PROF!!!!

Really easy to contact.

Dr. Channa has probably been one of my favorite professors at IUP. He knows what hes talking about and actually helps students if they dont understand the material. FYI if you can go to all of his classes and do well on all the quizzes and tests, the final should be easy.

Dr. Channa is a great professor who made Calc easy for me to understand. He explains things clearly and doesn't make you feel dumb for even stupid mistakes. He has a clear way that he wants you to format homework and tests so don't mess with what he wants. Don't use your phone and even when your algebra, he only looks for the correct Calculus.

I loved this class. Channa is THE BEST professor I've taken at IUP. He's amazing but you have to work for it! You have to come to class! He is also very strict on phones, if you're gonna be on it you will get a 0 for the whole course. I got 100 on two of the exams and a 81 on the other. He is a great prof!!! Also he hold study sessions before exams

Dr. Channa is the best math teacher/professor I have ever had. He teaches in a way that makes calculus more understanding. He goes out of his way to make sure we understood the material by holding review sessions before tests and was always willing to help out during office hours. As long as you put forth the effort, you will succeed in this class.

Have to go to class, if you miss more than 9 you automatically fail. If you're seen with your phone out in class you fail too. Very easy grader, curves A LOT. He uses questions from the hw for the quizzes and questions from the hw and quizzes for the tests. Good at teaching the material too and very nice.

This guy is truly the best. He may be strict about some things but it is only to ensure you succeed beyond the classroom. He will do everything he can to help you out. He made me hate IUP a little less

Hes going to seem scary at first, but hes an amazing professor and a lenient grader. I dont want to say easy grader, but on exams, as long as it appears that you know what youre trying to do, youll pass. I wouldnt have done nearly as well in calculus if I had any other prof.

He is very approachable after he warms up to the class. No question is 'stupid' he loves when students ask questions. He does have homework on the board and on paper (have a extra notebook for the HW). Attend the review sessions, and Q & A days he may host in the classroom. Recommendation: buy a 'Blue Book' at the Co-op store (for exams) are cheap.

Hes a great professor overall. Yes the accent is hard to understand at times but its bearable. He does go a little quick but will never hesitate to review if asked or answer ANY questions! Cares about his students. Do have to admit that I would probably be struggling in calc if I hadnt taken it in highschool, mostly me just not paying attention tho

Great professor just do the work and show up and the tests and quiz's will be easy.

I'm not very good at math, so when Dr. Channa was able to get me to understand calculus, I was amazed! He is a really good teacher, and he posted all his lecture materials on D2L so you could go over them any time you wanted. He encouraged questions. Do be prepared to spend $100 on the course software. it's required for homework and testing.

Dr. Channa is an amazing professor! He explained Calculus in simplest terms and made the class very easy to understand! Show up to class, do all required work, and this class will be an easy A because he is phenomenal at his job. His notes are very neat, and he does a great job at presenting and explaining material. I would highly recommend!

Dr. Channa did a great job of simplifying the material in this class. Statistics is a class that can get messy at times, but he really made concepts a lot easier. We could use an online app called StatCrunch for all the homework and exams. Just keep up with the material, go to class for extra credit, and you should truly get an A.

If you are worried about calc, take Dr. Channa. He is a good prof and definitely simplifies the material. You can do the bare minimum and pass his class. With that being said, you must work hard to achieve the grade you want. The material is still calc and can be difficult at times. Just work hard throughout the semester and attend is office hours!

He simplified the material so that everyone could understand it. You do have to buy an online application which is moderately expensive. If you skip lectures without previous calculus knowledge you will fall behind and do badly on exams. Frequent Quizzes. Overall, great professor.

I highly recommend taking Dr. Channa. The class is a lot of work at times, but he is very good at teaching and as long as you attend class and work hard, you will get a good grade.

He's was really great, he is a little monotone but other than that he cares a lot about his students and is very will to help. He give a lot of homework but it's very useful and helps with your grade a lot. His tests are very easy as long as you study. Just go to the lectures and do your homework. If you need help just ask him 10/10 math prof.

His videos are really easy to understand and his exams were in person but he let us bring in cheat sheets which helped so much. He would help over email however the pearson hw was kinda long but the quizzes/exam and hw was pretty much the same.
