This guy is a pretty easy professor, his exams come straight form his notes. He is a fair grader unlike other 300 level NJIT professors. He is a bit hard to understand. If you dont understand he'll help you out just ASK!!!

Great teacher. Teaches what's on the exam and doesn't fall behind schedule. Other professors shoudl follow his example.

Hes willing to help. His english is off though. Slighty above fair grader but not easy grader though . Math 222 in general is a rough class but he made it easier to learn.

he is a good profesor,his teaching style is very effective because he gives you the theory then gives you example to make sure you learn how to work the problems, he sometimes makes mistakes however,he is a resonable grader

All the newbies shouldn't talk untill they've tried other NJIT math teachers. This one is awesome compared to the others. Have fun in Calc III.

Hey this prof. is awesome! He does make mistakes in the class but he also corrects them right away...believe me or not but this actually helped me to understand difficult problems. GREAT THING is that watever he teaches.....comes in the exam.

this professor is very good and helpful. he will take his time to help you out. Even though he have a accent that most cant understand he will try his hardest to help students understand the material of the course. he very leaning on the grading

He is a very nice prof. He willing to help as long as you try hard. He will be in office hour when the student need him

he is a really good professor because he explains everything and answers your all the questions.

As RAT's English is getting better, so is his teaching. Bring up old exam problems, and you'll have no difficulties passing. Will help you in and out of class, so long as you seek.

RAT's the man. Funny guy if you joke around with him. Teaches the theory and problem solving methods, follows the book so you can't get lost, and prepares you very well for exams. Took class in summer and was easiest math class ever. Medium accent.

RAT is da man. Ladies and gentlemen, this is as good as it gets at NJIT.You don't even have to do homework, just go over his notes for an exam or quiz.Make sure you attend his review classes too.Very Tolerable accent.EASY as long as you put minimal effort

He is the best math prof @ NJIT. He does examples all the time making the exams a snap. I didn't need to study for the exams and still got a B. Made this class very interesting unlike others

i love this professor's teaching.He makes you visualize what he is talking about.He is very helpful.Take him and you will enjoy your semester.

most ppl mock indians for their accent. i was in his class ova the summer, i aced it. his accent was ite but his teaching was amazing, he's a pretty easy grader. trust me he's one of those profesors who knows his shyt.

very helpful goes over a lot of problems to prepare us on the exams i might take him again in differential equation

Pretty cool dude...makes alot of good jokes...reviews everything before exams...great teacher

nice professor... is always willing to help, gives plenty of examples... doesnt collect hw....gives a weekly quiz and hardly kept us the full time. good option for this course...

you know guys he is awesome but he's not indian... he's african... i would know this i asked him.

I'm taking his class right now. This guy is really good. Things that I never comprehended before, I understand now. He goes over a lot of examples before the exam and will help you out anytime as long as you ask. He collects homework every class and there's a weekly quiz that is not bad.

He does a LOT of examples which is extremely helpful but the subject topic is hard. By going fast through the lessons he usually has about 3 or 4 classes before the exams just for review. He also gives shortcuts (such as formulas) that other teachers dont give. Ask questions if you get confused.

Good teacher. Sometimes he's a little hard to understand, but he's a good teacher. Will not tell you anything about any exams!

Had this guy for 2 classes, calc 2 and descrete, he's a funny guy, really cool, very nice person, he's got a strong accent, but its one of the easier ones to pick up. Does lots of examples, takes tons of questions. He does what he can with grading. Overall a good math teacher. When he's in the classroom you know he's only here for teaching

great teacher , mad examples , best calc 1 teacher at the school

this guy is a great teacher, theres really nothing else to say.

altho has very thick accent i learn alot from the dude he gets TWO THUMBS UP FROM ME

he's the best profs i eva had for any of my math courses, take notes in calss and your set for the exams. the book aint**** when compared to his notes. also i took him for math 222. he should be the chairman of the math department.

He was a good teacher. Took me a week or two to figure out what he was saying but his examples made the tests really easy. He's also a cool person in general. Overall Good experience

I duno what others are saying about this guy. But trust me this is the best prof i ever had at NJIT. MATH 222 is Hard its not eay class you have to do work, but teaching wise this guys is great does alot of examples, trust me ALOT of examples. and pplz who left negative comments are just **** didnt prepare for this course. A+++++ Recommanded

Ratnaswamy is the best Prof. I've ever had at NJIT. I've known a bunch of kids who failed his class, specifically Math 104. To tell you the truth, the reason they failed is probably the same reason they were placed in 104: they treat college like high school. If you listen to Ratna and do the homework you will get an A. Guarenteed.

Very cool, probobly the only prof from the moon who speaks alaskan. Very cool guy. Teaches abit fast but makes up for it by being very helpful.

I had him as a recitation teacher in fall 06. he is very very helpful but has some accent. I will definitely take him If his name pops up on the list.

He's one of the best math professors that I've taken at NJIT. I've learned a lot from him and he's a descent guy. You ask him for help and he'll go out of his way to make sure you understand. His accent isn't as bad as the other professors. Attendance is a must in his class.

He is the best Math Professors at njit. He teaches with many examples which is helpful to do the homework and with tests. I would recommend this guy for any math class. I took him for Cal 3 and he was good.

Gives very little homework.Goes through the material at a crazy rate, but is easy to understand and does his best to ensure you understand it. Forgiving in regards to attendance/tardiness, but don't do it deliberately, you'll probably miss a lot. Overall, an excellent teacher.

This guy was the best math professor ive taken at njit. his accent is heavy and i found it to be funny, especially when he says anything with "square". but soon enough, his accent was perfectly understandable (give it time). he does go through the material quite fast so pay attention and copy down everything he writes. he explains everything well a

Prof Ratnaswamy is a great guy. He does go very fast at time and his accent takes a while to get to used to. However, he is light hearted and furthermore a great professor. He's made DEQ a lot easier than I thought it'd be. I highly recommend this guy!!

This guy is awesome. At first, he seems like he would be strict, but he is incredibly easy to understand and he takes everything at a medium pace. He will gladly help you out with anything in and out of class. He is a very fair grader as well. Highly recommended!

Very good professor. He has a very slight accept, and is usually easy to understand. He is an excellent teacher, and will also go over examples of every type of problem. He is usually serious, but does have a sense of humor. Always willing to help. Only problem is if you ask him if your work is correct he will probably just say yes if it is close.

He is a smart guy, very open to questions. He walks around to help you and does his best to answer any questions. His accent is thick, but understandable, and he has a sense of humor!

he does go over things fast, but he does ALOT of examples which really makes things clear. He is a good teacher and very helpful, its just a hard course.

Okay its very simple. All you have to do is study for the quizes and exams (shocking right?) and if you just cant figure something out, go talk to him during office hours and he will seriously spend a couple of hours reteaching you the material till you get it. Put the effort into the class and you will be fine. He is a good professor.

Tough class at this school. He does try to help students out and does a good job explaining. Can be boring at times and he does a ton of examples in class. I would take him again.

Writes extremely fast with almost no mistakes. Writes a lot of examples. If you dont get it the 1st time youll understand by the # of examples he writes. Very Helpful. Not only does he writes fast and talks fast but he will leave the class before you blink so take advantage and ask Questions since he leaves class asap. Very good prof. Take him!

Amazing teacher...the first and ONLY teacher I ever met in my life that could teach as fast I could learn

tough class with very tedious proofs. jey takes some of the heat off by giving out a lot of partial credit for effort on quizzes/tests.

Best professor ever. I'm not one for thick accents, which he has, and yet I learned so well from him. He goes through every objective and does an example to show you how to do it & a bunch of examples that you go through and he goes over. didn't even need to study for exams because i learned it all in class. pay attention and you have your A.

Wonderfully damp. Talks at the speed of smell. Take if possible.

he's a solid prof. lots of examples so you can't get lost. just make sure you have a fast pencil and that you sit in the front. he's speaks softly. his english is above average for a foreign NJIT prof, but it can still get a little confusing. he gives alot of time to review for exams also. solid recommendation

Super clear. Does a lot of examples. You can tell he wants you to do well. Definitely recommend him

Professor Ratnaswamy is a great professor. He does go fast paced, but he also does many examples in class and spends AT LEAST one full class period reviewing before an exam. You do have to put in the work to make sure you understand everything, but it's pretty easy to get an A if you do.

Professor Ratnaswamy is pretty chill. As long as you put in the work and make sure you understand everything, you're on his good side. He does go fast paced, but he does a lot of examples in class and spends at least one class period reviewing before exams. Definitely take him if you can!

You have a lot of opportunities to go over specific examples and review questions from quizzes, homework, tests, etc. He's extremely knowledgeable but sometimes I felt some concepts weren't really clear (but you can find a lot of supplemental material online). In all, not the class if you want to understand the theory as he teaches by memorizing

I had Ratnaswamy for Differential Equations, and simply put: he is the most helpful math professor. He will quickly derive the theory, but almost his entire lecture is spent doing examples, which he we then personally walk around and help any individual with questions. Best Math professor I've had out of my 6 math courses so far.

I dropped Calc2 last year since it's a hard class,he makes it seem like a piece of cake. Sit in the front since he speaks softly and writes with the speed of light. He goes over the theory in 2 seconds and then does 100 examples. You learn it better that way. If you miss class don't worry, watch the MyMathL. chaptervideo and go to his office hours.

This professor is one of the best at NJIT! I can guarantee you that because other professors are lacking explanation of topics in DEQ. His whole class is based off doing examples, which is what every professor should do to get the idea of the topic. HW and quiz is given each week. This class has taught me a lot.I would recommend to take his class.

Does lots of practice examples in class. Mostly just deals with repetition. Didn't really learn the material or follow text. He will answer any questions you have so ask. Tests are taken from previous exams so practice them ALOT. He helps during office hours and email. Hw and quizzes are harder than the exams, but they small % of final grade.

Does a thousand examples every class. It can get annoying but it helps when you don't fully understand something. Kind of hard to understand sometimes, and he has some trouble answering questions sometimes because he can't find the words in english to explain it. Overall good professor.

Ratnaswamy is an all out great professor. In your first week you will not like him due to his thick accent and soft spoken voice, but after a while you become to understand him much clearer. Pay attention to the problems he does in class, and do them in your notes. Usually he let us out about 30 minutes early. 10 Minutes theory : hour of practice.

A respectable professor. Please remember that not all teaching styles work for everyone. Professor Ratnaswamy teaches the methods of solving the problems, then spends the majority of class time going over many similar problems. Works for students that learn through repetition. Will often end class 5 to 20 minutes early.

This guy is a beast

He talks really fast during class. He does a lot of practice during class but he's the most helpful during his office hours.

This professor is amazing. He gives a lot of notes in his lectures. But worry not if you happen to miss some of his notes he does a ton of examples on the board of varying difficulties. You can ask questions. Only thing is that sometimes he jumps to answering the question before you can fully ask, just bear with him he does answer them properly.

The prof has a thick accent but you will get used to it soon. Goes over theory and does examples which really help. He will answer questions you have. He does reviews which help for the commons. There is a weekly quiz which is easy and helps stay in touch with the material. Math 222 itself is not an easy math course. Would recommend and take again.

I enjoyed the class, I would say the most important thing to do is get a seat up front. My mistake was sitting in the back for the first half of the semester. Sitting up front was a difference for the better. He writes q u i c k. If any questions just be sure to stop him in his tracks and he'll gladly explain it. Maybe bring a spare marker too.

Guy was great for differentials. Sometimes could be a little too quick but just ask him where you're confused and he'll go over it. As long as you try and treat it like a normal NJIT math course, you'll be good. He shows care to students, especially if you show participation.

He isnt that good at explaining the actual topics, but he throws enough practice problems that you will learn how to do them even if you dont fully understand the topic. Heavy accent and does not give any time for questions.

It takes a while for you to understand his accent but afterward he is the best Diffy teacher at NJIT. He gives a bunch of examples, answers emails whenever, and goes over material the other professors skim through or ignore (that stuff is on the exams).

Took him in winter. His accent was hard to understand but after you get past that he is a pretty good professor. He gave daily quizzes which were questions from the last lecture so If you paid attention you'd pass.

Extremely professional and cares about his students' success. Will give you lots of practice problems. Writes out questions step by step on the board, no PowerPoints. Weekly quizzes but it's questions from lectures. His accent is not difficult to understand and he's always willing to help if you ask. He also walks around the classroom to help too.

He does a bunch of practice problems during lecture, and he will always explain anything if anyone has a question. He also lets you try some problems in class and he walks around to see if anyone has any questions. There are quizzes once a week. He's very nice and cares for you to do well.

By far the best math professor I have ever had. You just need to get past his accent and pay attention and you will do just fine in the class. He gives over more than enough examples of problems and does not just teach the concept through proofs.

took his course over the summer for calc 3B. it was good. just come prepared to his lectures so you don't feel lost.

Lectures were good, straight to the point. Office hours were helpful to get ready for exams.

His lectures were great and covered numerous problems. He would always ask if anyone had any questions, office hours were available, and he gave out his phone number. His quizzes were not tricky and accurately assessed how well we understood the topics. He prepares his students well for exams and the final; he is a fantastic professor.

Amazing Prof. I studied calculus in my high school but never really understood even a single chapter. I thought calculus would be my nightmare. Guess what? Mr. Ratnaswamy, the legend himself. Just one tip: give full attention the first 10 mins of his class when he is teaching the concepts and then enjoy the rest. He cares your participation.

Ratnaswamy covers a lot of practice problems rather than reading through slides. His quizzes may be tough, but they are the same problems he goes over in class.

He's very straight forward. He first explains how to approach a problem and then gives students a few mins to solve each example. He goes around to help and then goes over it collectively. Attendance is definitely mandatory as he memorizes every one of his students. He is very caring and as long as you're working hard, you won't have a problem.

Explains concepts in depth and gives a lot of examples in class which is great prep for the tough commons for that class however he is hard to understand sometimes.

Professor Jeyakumaran is very straightforward and engaging. He provides plenty of examples and is always willing to help. While his accent can be challenging at times, using Unstuck ai for study prep really helped me grasp the concepts. Overall, a great class if you stay focused.
