He was a great professor. He is very clear in explaining problems. Unfortunately the subject he teaches is math and most people including me dislike math. If you do the work you can pass the class with a C or a B.

This is a very good teacher... The subject is however, complex. Therefore it is difficult! If you have to take it, he explains things very well... Study is a must!!!

got 100s on his tests, he writes his lectures out to the word, we can use formula sheets on the test, he is very good at explaining stat, although i have heard all different responses about his other classes, but on the whole i think he is a great teacher, best i have had yet at least

Tries his best to make a very difficult class easy for students to understand. His approach is a bit dry, but it is math, not much to do to make it an exciting lecture.

He's excellent at explaining, he does expect a good Algeb background but is ok if you ask questions. I like his accent-it kept me awake. He has the biggest curve in all history! He appreciates hard workers! He is kind when you go to his office for help. All question on final are ch. tests. Thumbs up

He is very good at explaining things. His tests were difficult but he tries to give as many points as he can. He is helpful and available when you have questions. I actually liked calc with him.

I would recommend this teacher to anyone-even non-math people! I hated the subject but he made it bearable & really cared about effort! I worked really hard & still struggled but he gives as many points as anyone could! Very generous and caring teacher. Don't give up with him! Go see him in his office & he'll help! VERY NICE GUY!

People that dont like to do the homework..good news for u!! he doesnt collect homework..u can do it if u want. his tests come directly from the textbook.. he goes over similar problems in class. If u take notes and have a good background for algebra..U dont have to do the homework..just pay attention in class and u will pass the test. He also curve

Dr. Raj is a very intelligent and nice man. However, he isn't on the same level as most people, and he can be difficult to understand sometimes. Just read the book, do his homework problems, and you will be fine. He grades with a curve that can put you over 100%. Every test is about 10-12 questsion, and 3-5 were assigned homework problems. Easy A.

Nice guy, very smart, but takes a long time going through things. could be done much quicker. Sometimes hard to understand with his accent, but he tries. He only allows you to miss like 2 days, and it is hard to attend because the class can get REALLY boring. As long as you communicate him, he will work with you.

Very nice and patient with slow learners

Professor Rajaram explanations are clear and profesional. I enjoed his class.

I had him for Elem. Alg. and prayed that I'd get him again for College Alg. Lucky me!! He's an awesome instructor and very articulate. Loved his teaching style. Highly recommended!

I think Dr. Raj does a great job. Take notes and do the homework...and to tell you the truth if you take good notes and understand what he is doing you don't have to do the homework. He is more then happy to explain things over, but if a person still doesn't understand he is willing to help outside the classroom. Extremely intelligent man.

I have never opened the text book that he works out of. He does not check homework. Just write down the problems he writes on the board, those are the ones he uses on the tests. I would recommend it

Mr.Rajaram is very nice, however, he does expect you to know your stuff from the last class. The problems he does on the board are also on the test. Sometimes the misconfusion but not too often. JUST ASK QUESTIONS

I liked Mr. Raj! I don't get why everyone doesn't. He is a very nice teacher and only wants respect while he teaches. Doesn't check HW and there's 4 exams and 1 final. Easy A. Didn't use my calculator much to compute the answers, which many other stats classes do. Accent wasn't a problem, I recommend him.

Dr. Raj is a fantastic teacher. I had him for statistics and had no problem with his teaching style or accent. What he does on the board is pretty much what is on the tests, so as long as you show up for class and take notes you will pass--easy as that. I would recommend him to everyone.

If you are a visual learner, then this is not the class for you. you have to do all homework, and ask all questions you have in class. If you dont, then he'll assume you know the information. When you do ask questions make sure he explains to you each step so you understand. I would retake him with more focus next time.

Took him for College Algebra. Most awesome professor I have ever had for mathematics. Taking him for appl. calc and stat. He's very thorough with his teaching and if you don't understand, stop him, and ask for clarification(make sure he understands ur question). Actually participate in class, and u'll get it. Lots of nonmandatory homework.

All of you commenting terrible things about him are super ignorant. He is an incredible professor who takes time out to make sure you understand, if you ask a stupid question, expect a stupid response. His accent isn't bothersome, and I'm sure your lack of knowledge concerning the english language bothers the hell out of him. Great professor :)

Still the most awesome math professor ever. YOU DO HAVE TO PARTICIPATE. This is Calc, and he expects you to know Algebra. If you don't, you might not follow him, but you don't have to work out the Algebra on the tests. For Calc, he cares about Calc. I recommend doing the hw, it makes things easier to understand. takes time every class to answer ?s

He is a very good professor. But he moves on very quickly. He makes everything clear so you are prepared for his tests.

He was a very good professor, but the subject can be difficult. The teachings were very clear and he really knows his stuff. He is not too hard but gives time outside of class for help. If you show respect and prove to him that you are giving 100% he will respect and help you. I highly recommend.

5 x 100 pt tests make up entire grade. No homework (to submit). Explains chapter, does a few homework questions as examples, assigns homework, next class reviews any questions about homework, then starts new chapter. All test questions come from the pool of homework assignments. Responds to emails, and is very knowledgeable. Would take again.

I didn't find Raj condescending at all. All of the students who did there homework, showed up, and did the homework (what you're suppose to do) thought he was great.

I found calc. to be overall pretty difficult but having Mr. Raj as my professor made it alot easier to understand. He is always available to answer any question you may have and does not move on until you understand. The homework assignments are not graded but are pretty much the same ones that will be used on the tests!

I enjoyed Dr. Rajaram's class. He does everything he can to ensure that no one fails. Two of the five unit exams are take-homes; he typically drops your two worst questions on any given exam; and he gives you a chance for bonus credit. He does assume that you know your College Algebra and Trigonometry, so brush up on these before class starts.

Amazing! That is how I would describe my experience with Professor Raj's course thus far. Tests questions are taken from the homework. A combination of take home & in class exams, curved grading, lowest grade dropped. Lectures are fantastic, he will be very patient and helpful so long as you make an effort. This man really knows how to teach! (AM)

Dr. R is a great teacher. He is old fashioned in the sense that he does everything by hand rather than a calculator, but gives you a formula sheet. He is strict on attendance & gives homework that isn't graded. 4 tests, drops lowest score for final. He is patient but expects you to pay attention also. I think he is fair, but you have to study!

Professor Rajarama is good. He will give you all formulas and the problems necessary to pass this class. Tests are based in the homework problems no more. If you do all your homework, you will be fine. The final test is based the same problems that he gave on the tests during the semester, so make sure to resolve those problems.

Despite his difficult and long name, he is actually speaks very clear english. Although I passed his class with a C, if it were anyone else, I would have failed. He is very clear and caring. He will not move on until you understand what he is teaching. His test problems are straight from homework and final are the same Qs from all the tests.

He is really good professor. All of his tests questions are from the homework. Make sure you do the homework even though he is not going to collect it. I'm planing to take him for the rest of my math class as long as I see his name. Trust me.

Great teacher. if you go to class, take good notes, and practice every day after class you will get an A in his class. also speaks clear english

Best math teacher I've ever had. Don't be intimidated by his long name, he is very understandable and thoroughly teaches the content. He works through example questions step by step and asks if anyone has any questions after every step. Come to class and study a few hours a week and this is an easy A but also you leave with an understanding of math

He is concise & knows the subject. He is strict with attendance. He gives good lectures & homework every class. Doesn't check it. 4 tests, thats it. I would recommend him. Accent is easy to understand.

He is very clear and easy to understand. Always respect him dont text of he will call you out on it. Only grades are tests (mult. choice) and questions are pulled from HW probs (not graded). Tests have some small tricks so be prepared. If you study you can get an A

Dr. Rajaram is an excellent instructor when it comes to math. However, he teaches at a certain standard so if you are not already efficient in math you will struggle to pass. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has an interest in a math related major as he will push you. Also very respectful and expects the same.

He is the best math professor I have ever had. Do not be fooled by these bad reviews, those who posted them must have slacked off in the course! He offers free tutoring on Wednesdays and his tests are multiple choice. I failed this class with another professor, but with him I did great! DEFF RECOMMEND!

Talk about boring. I thought math was boring as it was but this instructor made it even more boring. All we did was sit there and watch him do problems from the chapter for an hour and fifteen minutes. Also, he never posts your grades online and your grade relies on your tests and the exam.

Uses MyMathLab for the class, completely independent. I did not use the textbook at all. The website uses great examples to complete each question. You generally get 3 attempts on homework, but one on the quizzes. Midterm and Final are hard. Fair grading, but hard class unless you invest several hours a week on assignments.

Very straight forward and direct kinda teacher, he knows his stuff and will not let you shortcut through the class, he is always available if any questions are needed and even does a few hours in the LSC, not a easy class but you learn.

He's pretty easy to understand and a good teacher. He goes over the material well in class and the exams are fair. He's not out to trick you. If you just put in a bit of effort you'll get an A. It's not rocket science. It's basic statistics.

You MUST do all the homework problems assigned and attend every class if you want to do well in this class. The content is hard, but he grades the tests very fairly. 5 exams make up the complete grade. He has plenty of office hours and even spends a few hours a week in the library. Speaks clear English. Good professor and a nice guy.

Dr. Raj is a great math professor. I took him in Summer 2008, but I am not getting my PhD at UF, and he really taught the critical material needed. To be successful in this class, you will need to really practice, and study via the tutoring center, as with any MAC2233 class. Just take notes, study, and get go to tutoring. Also, call him Doctor Raj.

Prof Raj is the best math professor I have had at SPC. He is available outside of the classroom and lays out exactly what he expects from the start. Taking him again next semester for Calc!

NO MY MATH LAB. He is a great teacher if you already have a good understanding of algebra. For many sections he will say "you learned this in a previous course" (introductory algebra) and not elaborate anymore. Test are easy if you do the optional homework.

There are no homework grades, but the tests pretty much mirror the extra practice test he gives you. He usually goes over the practice test in class knowing those problems makes the tests a lot easier.

Great teacher to take for statistics in person, but I cannot speak for taking him for anything else. For statistics: He makes it very very easy. All the tests are multiple choice (scantron), and he has practice tests that are the test with numbers changed. Some may think he's mean, but hes a tough love type teacher. Grade is based on tests only.

I have never really been the best at math, and I was an IB student in high school but Professor Rajaram wasn't too bad. His lectures are helpful as long as you pay attention to the problems he does on the board. I recommend definitely studying the study guides because they are pretty much like the test. They are multiple-choice, he is test heavy.
