Wish this guy was on this site before i registered to this class, he doesn't know what hes doing, lacks examples, clarity, and doesn't speak loud enough. Good luck for you if you get this guy. Oh and he doesn't have answers to most of his examples haha
Younger always profs write harder exams. This guy is no exception. Not the most personable fellow either.
Not helpful get Digby as a teacher.
Not the greatest prof ever, but it's not like intro calc is difficult. His classes are almost entirely example driven. I showed up to around 1/10 of them (every time we had a quiz) and got a B in the course by spending around 3 hours in total looking over the textbook. His accent's pretty easy to understand. And his sense of style's always funny.
He doesn't help to prepare you for the final exam that is written by the department.
He's a bit hard to understand, but a good prof nonetheless. He is young and a little inexperienced, but his quizzes and tests are fairly easy and he will try to help you as much as he can. If you get math, his class will be a breeze.
This guy sucks. I'd feel terribly sorry for you if you happen to be in his class.
Worst prof I have ever had. Could have been an interesting class but because he couldn't give too sh*ts about the class or students it was boring! He was lazy and didn't have any real reason to back up th marks he was giving out. I got an A in the class so I'm not just a student who's mad about my mark. I feel sorry for you if you're in his class.
comes to class and wings examples. the students catch his mistakes before he does. doesn't show for office hours. and practically only writes examples on the board with little explianing
Not great but could be a lot worse
I hate this guy. I've had him once, and he's full of himself. He'll give you really easy examples in class which don't prepare you for the final exam and midterms. Gives assignments that even Digby thinks is difficult. Supposed to have 6 assignments through the semester and only gave 3 assignments due to his lack of planning. Horrible experience.
A decent teacher but a very hard marker. Make sure you know your integrals because the way the course is laid out there is no time for review. Copy his examples and do the homework.
The course was easy and fun, lots of student participation. Ganesh is very helpful, has a good sense of humor, but sometimes comes across as disorganized.
This is easily the worst professor of my university career. The prof is disorganized, lazy and lacks the confidence to teach. He hands over the teaching to students for the 2nd half of the semester. So be prepared for 2, hour long presentations. Does not show for office hours, nor replies to emails. Horrible experience. Consider yourself warned.
Teaching was okay, marking was atrocious. More than once he made grading errors, and I had to fight to get my marks for questions other students got right that I got wrong with the same answer. His logic for grading was also disorganized and irrational. Knows what he's talking about but is not a very good teacher.
Well I suppose if you enjoy physics, and math you'll do just fine. But Ganesh is not the person you want to take this class with if your weakest link is Math. I'd highly encourage you to take it with Mark Hecht he's very knowledgeable on the material and is more then happy to work with you at your own pace:)
I get through his class without having to use the textbook and he is very helpful with everything
Marking is ridiculous! No part marks here! you either got the whole questions perfect or else you get little to nothing. even with the proper steps and simple negative sign error and its a zero. quizzes were easy because he wrote them. Exams 100x harder than any material discussed. he didnt write the tests, simply took them from another teacher.
He knows what he is doing and clarify any problem you have. In tutorials he will just literally ask the class what questions they have problems with the assigned questions and does very clear for you to understand.
He is really good. If you just go to the lectures and do whatever he says in the first session of classes, you should be fine. I never used the text book but I was always attending the classes and I ended up with an A+. This course is actually really easy, too. He's a good guy, don't worry about him at all!
I am not much of a math person unfortunately, and if you're like me in that regard, avoid his class. I found that he went through examples way too fast in class and I was struggling just to keep up with his writing, let alone listen to what he was saying. He knows his stuff, but isn't very good at communicating to kids who don't just
He was not a very helpful prof. He would not actually teach you how to do the questions he would just show you examples. Great to know that he knows the material but how are the students supposed to learn this way? He made various mistakes while he taught as well that we would have to correct....
Ganesh is a nice enough guy, but is not a very good math teacher to the students who don't enjoy math right from the start. Calculus is a tough course to grasp, and it's made even harder when the prof is not very clear. The tests are not like examples done in class, and he has limited office hours. Unfortunately I would not recommend Ganesh at all.
He seemed like a nice enough guy but I would not recommend. He obviously knows his stuff but cannot clearly convey the methods to students. I took calc in high school (and did well) and his teaching confused me more rather than clarified. Seemed like he would do anything to feel superior to his students and would wait for them to ask dumb questions
An absolutely horrible professor and human being in general. He ridicules students and is extremely insulting if you ask him for help. AVOID HIM LIKE THE PLAGUE. I don't know how people like this get teaching positions when they have absolutely no idea how to interact with student's and understand the struggle of not understanding a concept.
Ganesh is very awkward as a teacher. He isn't very helpful and he always just writes practice examples on the board without any explanation. I've never done so poorly in a math class. I would not recommend him.
Only take this class if every other class is full as a LAST RESORT. Easily the most uninterested and monotone teacher I've ever had. I could talk about pocket lint and sound more interested than Mr. Ganesh. Had I known, I would have taken 8am classes if it meant getting another teacher.
Don't take him.
If you have a class with Ganesh I would recommend to switch to a different class ASAP!!! (unless you have the motivation to teach yourself the whole course) When he teaches he's literally saying everything the book says (with a thick indian accent), which doesn't make sense most of the time. I've never done so poorly in a math class until now.
He is an okay prof the material is dry and he is quiet, if its an early morning class bring coffee.
I don't know what everybody is talking about but Ghanesh is a very good teacher. He explains concepts clearly and goes through enough examples for you to know how to do questions on exams. Just put in the work and show up to class and you'll pass with an A. i didn't even have a textbook but still managed to pass with an A. very good teacher.
Notva very good teacher, tests are very hard and he marks super hard and he makes tons of mistakes when teaching
I have never come across a more arrogant, impossible-to-get-passing-grade-not-to-mention-a-high-grade, makes-you-feel-stupid-when-you-ask-a-question kind of a prof in my entire life! He specializes in failing as many students as he can and doesn't even give you partial credit for what you did correct on the tests. If calc isnt your strengthmisery
Ganesh is pretty easy to understand, but sometimes cannot convey some words. Will chalk and talk the entire course.
Ganesh is a pretty good prof overall, tests are fair and lets you know exactly what to know for them. Knows how to teach very good!
Tests are very fair, you will know sections on them beforehand. Always urges students to go for extra help. Class usually always ends early, a plus!
I had him for MATH 1200 and it was the worst experience ever. He only does examples in class without really trying to explain the concepts. And he is a very hard marker teacher. The examples he gives in class is way easier than the questions during the Tests/Exams he gives. Also, he doesn't consider any points on steps when the answer is wrong.
Mr Ganesh does many examples on the board and lets you know what sections will be on the test. He gives me and others partial credit on the exams if you screw up. Always urges his students to seek help when needed!
The tests are quite easy if you do the homework, since all questions come straight from the book.
Whoever says ganeshes tests are hard must not study. Every single question is either from the TEXTBOOK or the EXAMPLE he gives on the board. He goes through the examples and explains them quite clearly. I have him for Math 1202 and hope he teaches second year math courses.
Tests are more than fair, gives part marks very generously, just show up and do the questions and the class would be an easy A.
What a great guy! Accent takes a while to get used to but dr. bhandari knows how to teach math. His examples prepare you for the tests and final.
Many found him "boring" and "unclear". I believe though his lectures might seem long and dragged out, you can manage to pick out the needed information. As long as you do your homework, you will do well on his tests. Essentially they are just rewritten problems from the homework. That being said, the homework is not necessarily the easiest.
Theres nothing wrong with him but I just don't like his teaching style that much, he does try to engage with the students during class but in a very dry way. He's not enthusiastic AT ALL! Sometimes he pauses for a long period of times in between questions, I just feel like thats a waste of time. Take someone else if you are not a self learner
His lectures are quite long but they prepare you for the tests. Just do the homework and attend lectures. Ganesh clearly knows his stuff and will always help
I wish ganesh taught upper level calculus classes. He makes sure you know everything for the final and all the unit tests. His lectures can drag on but math isn't interesting for most people and he wants to help you whenever you need it.
My class started off with 32 people and now we have 14. The class average on all of the tests were around 55 and he doesn't give you part marks for ANYTHING. He expects you to have flawless mathematical skills and If you decide to skip 1 class he is unforgiving and couldn't care less about your grades. Good luck with this guy ... You will need it!
Absolutely terrible. Worst math prof I've ever had. Can't explain a concept to save his life. Avoid if at all possible.
Ganesh was an excellent math prof, he started each section with a clear introduction to the material, and then continued with simple to increasingly complicated examples. Many of the questions in the tests are from examples in class and from the textbook, so come to class and do the homework questions. Would take math classes from him again
Ganesh exceeded my expectations of what a math professor should be. If you do all the assigned textbook questions, you are guaranteed an A/A+ in the course. He was a bit quiet during lectures, however as the semester progressed, he became more open but always remained a helpful and knowledgeable prof. Take him, you won't regret it.
He lacked actually explaining what the equations were and his examples were WAY easier in class compared to the tests. The textbook was also a complete joke and the questions we were supposed to do in it made no sense! and the content in the book rarely matched up with what he taught. DOUBLE CHECK EQUATIONS HE GIVES YOU, They weren't always right.
If you've registered in this class, get out! Even if the other options are full, I recomend just taking it with another proff next semester. His lectures are super long and just cover textbook examples. To study for tests there are zero resources except more textbook questions; some of which are done differently than the way he does them. The worst
Would not recommend this class. He spends the majority of the time at the front just writing without stopping to explain. The lectures are super long and not helpful. He does not give a fair opportunity to succeed on the exams. In order to prepare for the exam, he gives you a list of multiple choice questions, but the test is all written
Would not take again. Gets heated if he has to explain something more than once, and never gives clear and concise answers. Compared to reviews from all other MATH 2333 profs, he has the worst rep.
Terrible professor, unclear and horrible concept explanation. be prepared to attempt to teach yourself any concept you don't understand perfectly. however, tests are very easy and are exactly like the problems done in class. if you do the suggested questions, easy A.
Ganesh gets a bad rep just because stats is sooo boring. He is actually a great prof and he is really caring. He explains concepts very vell and his exams are fair. As long as you are proficient in math, stats will be a breeze.
He doesnt upload anything at all so if you miss a day of lecture or cant see the board, youre done for. Always unclear when he lectures and makes a whole bunch of mistakes, so your notes will suck. Its very easy to get good marks in his class because of the formula sheets, but hes a horrible teacher. If youre a slow learner, good luck.
Ganesh is just an average math prof. He uses lots of examples during the lecture, so make sure you go to the class. (He does not post his lecture notes on Blackboard!) The tests were heavily based on the textbook examples and some questions on Wiley assignment.
I really enjoyed being in Ganesh's class. He made sure you understood every part of the concept and gave definitions that weren't tested on but were given for your understanding. All you have to do is attend class and go over the examples as the same variations are always on his tests. Simply a great prof! Easy to understand and just review notes.
The worst prof you could have, he makes content that is easy,SO COMPLICATED! The way he makes his tests is the worst, you go in and it's nothing like what you've learnt in class. When the whole class gets a bad average he acts as if we're stupid. On so many occasions we asked him to consider the timing when making questions. He doesn't care.
This professor is the worst math professor at MRU. He doesnt respond to emails. Even if you were to email him and ask him for assistance about a chapter or assignment he wont reply. I have tried asking him several time but unfortunately I did not get any response. The way he explains puts students to sleep. He doesnt care about students success.
Ganesh's in class teaching makes you confused and lost due to the difficulty of his examples. He doesn't really explain his steps and expects you to know what he did. Asking him for help was useless bc he doesn't answer the question clearly and made you feel bad or stupid. Avoid taking his class! He also makes lots of errors, students correct him.
His teaching is moderately paced and extremely descriptive. It's super easy to understand the concepts. His notes are neat and very useful for referencing outside of class. He leaves your level of learning up to you, but is always available and gives lots of opportunity to practice the concepts before testing periods. Would love to have him again!
Ganesh teaches through demonstration rather than explanation, I'm awful at math and just him writing questions and their answers on the board for an hour didn't help me learn at all, after failing the first midterm I dropped the class. The class was based almost entirely on the two midterms and 1 final with a few small quizzes every so often.
Ganesh is a nice guy. However, his lectures are very boring (he somehow manages to make the 1.5 lecture hours feel like a lifetime) and the tests are very difficult, which isn't great as about 70% of the overall grade comes from tests.
average math professor, hes very nice though. my one complaint is he doesnt write the practice tests so they arent good reflections of what youll se on the test
Ganesh is very arrogant, rude, doesn't care about his students. Lectures consist of a million examples without explaining any of the content. Expects you to know everything, never gives part marks. Makes you feel stupid when you ask questions, doesn't answer them properly. Talks quietly, moves very fast, has an accent. AVOID if not a self-learner!!
Average prof. Take good notes, work through the suggested practice problems and get a decent grade. That's all I gotta say. No surprises.
Worst prof I've had. Very disorganized, makes up problems in his head, relies on students to fix his mistakes, painfully boring lectures, doesn't explain how to do problems - he just writes the answer. Gives no partial marks, doesn't reply to his emails or upload any notes. Might as well burn your money if you take his class.
He seems like a good guy but his lecturing style is unclear, he doesn't lay out how to solve a problem clearly just kinda does it, skipping steps after you have done one or two practice ones saying "you can work on it in your own time." Midterms are killers to your grades they were the length of final exams in my opinion, but not impossible.
Ganesh is a great stats prof to have. He is very kind. He makes sure to go over multiple examples during class and is always available after class for questions. He is a little monotone but if you are able to just pay attention you will have no trouble getting an A in the class. The test are very fair and are on the easier side of the questions
Ganesh is a really nice prof who cares about his students. Always willing to help if you have questions during or after class.
I liked him, even though these reviews made me cautious. I think the main complaint with him is his soft-spokenness, which is why you should sit at the front to understand things better and see his thought process in action. What he writes on the board is exactly what you can expect on tests so follow along & you'll do good with nearly 0 studying.
I honestly don't get why he got those awful ratings cause he isn't as bad as I expected after seeing the ratings. What I like the most is he replies to emails quickly whenever he is available, and is mostly accessible outside of classes even if you just want to drop by his office. He is so patient and can answer all my questions before exams.
hes ok at best imo
dont, just dont
He was useless when it came to teaching and having a lesson plan ready. He often got confused with his own material, looking traumatized by a single question from a student. He is a tough marker and takes marks off for no good reason. He only uses tutorials for quizzes, rarely answering questions. Don't take this class. Save yourself.
He was good, taught everything in a very methodical way that made it easy to understand. Tests were really long though and i often had trouble finishing the exam
Surprised by the score he has. Such a good professor who explains things very detailed, I found the first midterm difficult but only because I'm not the best at probability. The rest of the semester was quite easy and he always made it clear what was to be on the exams. Make sure to go to lecture and do the practice questions on the textbook
Attendance is recommended otherwise 100% get lost on his exams. He teaches super fast during the lectures. Tests and quizzes are fair, not easy but if you participate the lectures and tutorials, you can pass them easily.
Very disorganized lectures. Very strict marking, will dock marks heavily if problems not done his way or written in a way he perfers. Can be prettty condescending if you ask a question, made worse when he fumbles around and then fails to even answer said question.
Every lecture consisted of only using textbook material without no straight guideline of what you were going over. Heavy on examples that he doesn't even explain on how to do them. No straightforward method taught, so if you're not a self learner, I suggest don't take his class. Asking questions don't help as he makes you feel stupid for asking. :(
I don't think he's a bad professor. This class is pretty hard. He's a nice marker and gives part marks. This class is pretty lecture heavy and if you miss a class, there aren't any lecture slides. The quizzes and tests are pretty fair, they're close to the textbook questions. In the lectures, he goes over problems, but not really how to solve them.
