Useless. We were tested on material that's not covered by the curriculum. You don't get the tests back so it's not clear what errors you made. I didn't learn anything from him although I studied hard. I found his ego and angry temperament to be completely unproffessional. He's unapproachable and unhelpful. By FAR the worst teacher I've ever had!

I agree that he really knows what he is talking about but I think that he is one of the worse teachers I have ever had at the college level. He expects everyone to know everything already and if you don't know, all he says is "this is easy people." He rarely does examples in class and he loves to point lasers at the power point. I suggest avoidance

not a good instructor

worst teacher of camosun. Always disrespectfull to his students. And also unclear.

Dont know how to teach and if any one is going in accounting degree then take Bus 241 instead of FIN 220.

High do not recommend this teacher. First 30 mins of class is of him skimming through notes and then diving into examples for the rest of the class. He expects you to understand how to use the formulas right away. His writing is very hard to follow and is very unorganized.

If you take his class you should expect the following: he wont hand back midterms for you to keep as u will have to schedule an appointment to look at it. He WILL announce your midterm grades in class for everyone to hear. Midterms are poorly designed as the packages use a tremendous amount of unnecessary pages for few questions

Mahesh is rude and disrespectful to his students. Your grades will be read in front of the entire class and you do not get your midterms back. You have no resources on D2L, only the textbook. I don't mind his lectures, but when he writes on the board it is extremely small, disorganized and in the corner - very hard to see if not in the front row.

Is smart and knows finance well; HOWEVER, he is an awful teacher and I taught myself everything I know from his classes. His idea of showing you how to do an equation is to directly write the answer solution on the board, not answer any questions properly, and proceed to the next problem. He just doesn't teach application of what you learn properly

Doesn't spend enough time on each topic during lectures. Is extremely condescending when asked questions even though he constantly tells us to ask questions. Just straight up doesn't really teach but talks at us all class.

Doesn't use the full class time for lectures because he has to do something, "more exciting," with his time. Very knowledgeable in his field but often talks at us rather than teach us. He mostly shows us the answers of the problems and not how he got there. I didn't have a mark for my midterm until I asked him about it long after it was marked.

He calls you out in front of class and when you tell him it is a calculator and show him, he immediately stops class to take you to the Chair. He claims you are showing him up and when you defend yourself, he tells you to let him speak and if you tell him if he wants to speak the truth he can, he will tell you since he is the instructor that he is.

He does not go into to detail about teaching you how to do quantitative problems and gives you little time to actually solve problems.

Awfull. Please avoid him. Never available outside the class and doesnt want to answer many questions while in class.

He is indeed the "worst professor" of all time. Taking his class for my major class was the biggest mistake of my academic life. He doesn't care about his students, is mean and never available outside of class. He doesn't respect students' privacy and just yells out everyone's test score in front of class.

Not great for those who want help or involvement from a teacher. If you are great working on your own this class is fine. Lectures are short then just in-class time to work on textbook questions, he moved too quickly through the questions in my opinion but if you are fast then this could work for you. Wouldn't recommend. Dropped this class.

I heard this guy is very very bad professor so many students are suffering from this guy teaching , college should replace immediately, one of friend child is crying every day after his class please take action this is very bad Please take action as soon as possible See the comments take action

He is the worst professor I've ever had. He is rude, arrogant and generally an assh*le. A donkey could make a better teacher then him. Avoid him at all costs. He does NOT teach the material. He talks about it as if it's the simplest thing ever. You must learn from the textbook/online, because he will not teach you. Again, AVOID HIM.

Doesn't teach the hows and whys. He goes through the slides quickly, then goes through each question in the back of the book... fast.

THE #1 laziest professor I've had in my 10 years of post-secondary. He doesn't teach, skims through slides, skims over solutions (also on slides). Because of COVID, he decided to increase MT#1 from 25% to 50%, then instead of MT#2 and final, we made a 12 page powerpoint slide worth 50%. What a joke. I'm going into ACCT320 completely ill-prepared.

Literally the worst professor at Camosun. NEVER take a course with him. I'd tried him for two classes and each time I have had to drop the course because he absolutely does not teach. He rushes through slides, has terrible explanations. He also doesn't follow his course outline because he, quite frankly, is lazy.

Mahesh is useless as an instructor. His teaching is awful, he's rude and disrespectful to students, and he seems like he has a massive ego about himself. If there are any other choices of instructors available, choose someone other than Mahesh.

I've never felt as condescended to by a prof as I did in a class with him. He's basically just a jerk to his students for 2 hours at a time.

I finally understand why everyone I've ever known that has taken his classes saying it is absolutely horrible. He's rude to any name that he doesn't like (he likes long names, usually with a spanish origin) and tells people that the issues they are having are their problem, and not his. Unless you like condescending humor, I would avoid him.

Worst class! Skims through his slides. No proper explanations on how to end up with computations (explains the solutions from the book VERBALLY! No excel representations etc).No quizzes. Participation grade is questionable (present and participated in all his class but still got lower grade compared to a classmate who just attended the class once!)

RUN! Do not take Mahesh's class unless you plan on teaching yourself. On the first day you will think he's great, but it goes straight downhill from there. His exams are full of questions that he never went over in class. He spends the whole class talking about how great of an instructor he is but he is not at all.

GTFO! Before signing up for this class, think again. I have PTSD from the disrespect, and hate he has for students and he makes this evident but how condescending he is. His way of teaching is terrible and I have learned more about accounting from banking on my own and he is paid for such trash and I actually paid for this course. Again! Leave

Not sure how the university allows such abuse of their students. Get away from Mahesh. The worst professor i have ever had.

Mahesh is something else. Spends lots of time bragging about himself. Has a 10% participation grade for asynchronous class when he has nothing to keep you accountable each week (ie- weekly quiz, discussion post). Forces interaction & makes you feel awkward. Taking this class because I have to. He did however make midterms openbook, so there's that.

If you require a supportive instructor who's actions show that they care about your learning, do not take a course with Mahesh. I've taken 14 courses at Camosun and have an an 8.9 gpa. I felt under-supported, inadequately instructed, and received no quality feedback. Avoid Mahesh if you can.

Honestly, Worst professor I've met in Camosun as a fourth year student. Never actually teach anything.

Run while you still can.

absolute worst teacher ever. He does not teach he reads off text slides. I dropped different classes with him twice. RUNRUNRUN

MK does not set his students up to succeed. He gives no exam review - exams make up 70% of final grade. He spends his lectures clicking through slides, with little explanation, going on random personal tangents (incl. his unsuccessful dating history). It's too bad that he is the only ACCT207 instructor. I had an 8.64 GPA before taking his class.

Mahesh was an awful instructor. It is unfortunate he was the only acct 207 instructor available when I needed to take the course. He is condescending and very full of himself. In class he would race through slides, not explain very much, and expect everyone to understand what was going on. There was very little teaching going on in his classes.

Classes are very, very boring. Many times, he stays sitting, reading the solution of the exercises. The exams are easy, if you practice the exercises/homeworks.

Never take his class, unable to understand anything,teach unrelated to course material, not helpful and understanding. He is adamant and not willing to help and understand the students situation.

Honestly, didn't learn much... very boring... The online recorded lectures were too long to watch and made me fall asleep

It looks like he is not really interested in teaching to the students and just reads notes from the slides. He doesn't give the marked exams back so you can never review your mistakes

Please don't take his course if you can. Not helpful and the teaching skill is really bad, just rush through the slides and not try to let students understand concepts. Never review the exam questions and students have no idea what is wrong.

Only if I knew RMP before.. in case you're wondering, they speak the truth.

AVOID! very rude in class, makes it scary to speak up and makes the curriculum seem like absolute rocket science. Only good part was when he called in absent four plus times he provided a great sub.

Do not take his class I would suggest doing everything to avoid it. Everything seems 10x harder than actually would be with a good teacher. Listen to RMP on this one.

The instructor's teaching is subpar, only reading PowerPoints and exercise answers without explaining them. He complains when not addressed by name through email, but doesn't address students by name. He provides minimal feedback, using 1-sentence emails, and too lazy to let students review their exam error. Avoid him and saver your time and GPA.

Avoid him! He will only make you buy an expensive book because he doesn't prepare anything for the class. He only reads PPTs and exercise solutions from Pearson. He can't teach, can't record grades right, and is not transparent. I finished this course not learning anything, not even knowing what I got wrong on my midterm, assignment, and finals.

Worst instructor ever. Avoid taking courses with him. You are just gonna waste your time and ruin your GPA unless you are one of his favorites. He will only read PPT in class, which is something all of us can do on our own. He was even away for 4 meetings before the finals and didn't give any information to the substitute. He is not teaching!

If Mahesh was my first teacher in Camosun, I would think this is a rather subpar school. Fortunately, I had other great teachers in Camosun. After I knew that he has been teaching here for about 17 years, it made me think Camosun once was a very mediocre school. He only reads the PowerPoints and the solutions for the exercise. RUIN your GPA.

Worst instructor ever! Don't take course with him if you care about your time and GPA. He will make you buy an expensive textbook and on class he just read powerpoints by Pearson and READ solutions for the exercises without explaining them. He says excellent a lot while no one knows what he is talking about. He doesn't know how to teach.

I had him for two weeks, and after that, he disappeared. During this time he showed his disgusting behaviour and no respect to a student. He just reads slides and never answers your questions properly. Would not recommend it if you want to learn something.

He doesn't know how to teach, terrible teacher. Just read powerpoint slides and show no respect to students. Avoid him!

Worst instructor! Avoid him! Used to take his class and he doesn't care what you think and learn. Sometimes refuse to answer your question. It's really awful!

Does NOT prepare you well for exams and exams are very hard

This professor is strict, does not seem focused on teaching and tough grader
