Prof Gangaram is just too adorable. He's super hilarious, super caring and will go out of his way to help you. Pop quizzes on homework so you gotta go to class regularly, though he doesn't take attendance. He explains the material in the most crystal-clear way and creates a very question-friendly environment. A quite lenient grader also. 10/10

I am not the best at math, yet he made this easy for me! The self grading system he uses is encouraging for online classes. Depending on you and your class feedback questions, I chose the ratio to be higher on homework and discussions since I get very nervous on tests/quizzes. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Hybrid class was awesome. He explained way better than the text and class participation was 10% of the grade. He tried a new thing called Grading something- we decide on the weights for assessment- I loved it. I am bad at tests and less weight was placed here. More weight was on homework, which was easy.

Dr. G provides great analogies and examples to help understand the content. He allows the class to distribute the grade weights by class vote. The lectures can feel long at times but are very helpful and offers help individually. Expect weekly quizzes/online discussions, one midterm, and one final. All of which are from the homework.

I've heard that this professor was once very terrible. Although, when I took Math256 with him, I found that he was much more lenient than his previous classes.
