Math is my worst subject. I can't emphasize how awesome this prof. is. He's very helpful & always encouraged his students. There's never a dull day. I always waited for the day when we'd reach a lesson that I'd get a mental block, but it never came. Take his class, no idea what grade I'll get but know that my exams ranged from 80-90. Enough said.

Awesome professor!.Funny guy, who cares about his students and wants them to pass, he will teach you tricks and help you until you understand. This is the guy you want to take if your serious about passing math, take it from someone who hasn't opened a math text book or done a math problem in over 5 years who just passed her M1 final !!!!

Attendance is important, as well as paying attention the class moves fast. Especially if its a accelerate winter course. He lectures a lot like all math professors, but breaks it up often with his jokes so he is very easy to follow. Don't hesitate, take him!!!

God Bless him. I passed the M1 final not with the best grade but his math methods are easy to understand. He really motivates you to study while also relating to you as a student. He makes math simple to understand. He has to be the only professor that prefers when students watch and learn rather than take notes. Take him please please do.

He is very good at getting equations and simple mathematics rules stuck in your head, because of him I will forever know the equation of a line, slope and simple rules that apply to adding subtracting multiplying and dividing positive and negative number.

I'm a C.J major which means, Math and I aren't 2 peas in a pod. However, Professor Lalbatchan gave me the confidence in math I didn't have before. His techniques of showing us the material were effective. The constant reminder of telling us to study, helped.

This professor blames the departments for his action, he's very negative, he hates his own skin. He allows class clown to run his class. Not understanding makes no difference to him he just doesn't care! He's never available. He doesn't have office hours, there's a library, however, he's not available.

While Professor Saitram is a well-spoken, intelligent man who understands the material he teaches, the class etiquette leaves much to be desired. He allows the class to grow loud and disruptive, claiming to "feed off the energy". It's safe to say he is not for me. However he is patient and understanding, he will help you to the best of his ability.

Bro all you have to do is go to his classes and show some sort of effort. Everyone who complains about him either didn't pay attention in class, didn't go to class, or didn't care. His quizzes are straight from his lessons and is simple. Just question and answer, nothing too hard. All you gotta do is give like80% and you'll pass with flying colors.
