very good at teaching

Ppl who say this teacher is no good are ppl who don't pay attention in class!

too tough for no reason

Better teacher than what most people think. It's just a tough class

Great teacher! A bit scary and intimidating at first, but he's definately better than any other Comm 225 teachers! Prepares you for the exams, it's increadible

hard course to teach but he is a good prof. explains clearly. make sure u listen and follow in the red book and then u are all set.

He's an excellent teacher!!! He's intimidating, but he really knows his stuff AND knows how to teach it! People who don't like him are people who expects things to come easy without hard work. Yes, he will make you work, but once you do, everything's easy

very good teacher. knows his stuff inside out, and is the greatest math whiz I have ever seen. expect to work very hard in this class, but if you have problems the teacher is always available to help you.

This guy loves to yell and tell the class how lazy we are. Bottom line this guy will work you so hard for the M.T.s and the final that what would actually be a hard exam seems easy in comparison. Get the red book.

he is really great!! do your assignments on time and never ask for an extension unless you want to be yelled at. he is stern, but knows his stuff inside out and is always ready to help his students!! he is fair in marking

One of the best out there. A bit stern with assignments but if you do his work, you will do great on the exams!

The best teacher every... no one else goes so far as to make sure you get it.

He is a very bright teacher who actually cares about the students. He marks his students fairly, the midterms are very easy if you study. If you do your work and listens to him, it is very easy to get an A. I don't know why many ppl complain about him being tough.

he is very helpful. he is great teacher.

This is the kind of guy that you want on your side. He is intellegent, and humorous. The class isn't really easy to begin with so don't automatically assume that it is the teachers fault for low grades. you must study and practice all of the problems. I highly recommend this teacher to everyone.

Great teacher...smart, helpful and clear! Course is a bit tough,but if you do and understand the Course pack problems, you are set. Also, he is the cutest little man ever.

People don't like the teacher because they didn't get a good mark.. Comm 225 is hard so don't blame the teacher! He is the cutest man on earth! I definitly recommand him if you don't mind his old fashion way of teaching!

he is the best teacher for POM. the course is tough and ppl dont work hard enough & blame the prof.! he is a master of his subject and knows his stuff unlike most of the other teachers. Be regular to his class and do the problems from his coursepack & a good grade is gauranteed. he writes the final too!! i would definitely recommend him!

This guy is a really good teacher when it comes to doing examples and explaining stuff, but he doesnt encourage people to ask questions and if anyone does, they generally get yelled at! but he is probably the best POM teacher at concordia so take him if you want to actually understand concepts!!

Great guy!

One of the best teachers I've had so far. He makes the class easy, and he writes the midterm and final. I also went to see him in his office a couple of times, and he was very helpful. He's a really good man. If he's rude to you in class, it means you're a moron and asked a dumb question. I highly recommend this teacher.

Great teacher. If u'r taking POM, take it with him. He's such a great man and knows how to teach students. There are some subjects that involve logic and he can't help you with how to think. Pressure is on you if you're indian...Not a heavy accent. He is very understandable and provides resources/ways of getting more practice!

Great prof. He explains everything clearly and does the problems in class, which is of major help.

i wish there were more prof's like him at concordia. simply one of the best. master of his subject. does so many questions to give u gud practice b4 the exam which he writes, n is quite similar. if u dont study n ask dumb questions, then he wont b ur favorite prof:)else he is a great prof, i wish i culd take him for other courses too...

What a brilliant prof! He is very professional, intelligent, a master in Chaucer-he memorizes pages of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and recounts them with a perfect accent at ease. He gives fantastic, clear, concise lectures.He is so helpful and kind. Plus he has a great sense of style and is...........very sexy! What a smile!!

If you want to pass, take him. Hard but will prepare you for the test.

there is no doubt that this guy aint the politest person,but the fact is that many dumb ppl take this course,who dont try to understand things & blame the prof to b hard,rude,etc. this prof is 1 of the few profs at conc. univ. who knows his stuff! btw, he is helpful, just make an effort to go see him in the office hours & dont ask stupid questions.

Prof sharma is an old school teacher , A bit tough sometimes ,but he is very nice, For pom he is an amazing teacher,teaches the class for about 20 years .Prepares you for the final , Professor Satir is amazing too

Sharma is a bit old school and does everything the longer way. This doesn't take from the fact that he is a good teacher and a good guy. Any pom class is hard so you should read the chapter before you go to class. If you do this you will learn to love Shawerma!

I took professor Sharma during my undergrad for POM & loved him. He's not as lenient on mba students. He's very helpful if you go see him, but he doesn't like stupid questions & assumes a lot of prior knowledge. For the MBAs, I suggest you go see him about vogel's method & optimization cause class lectures don't prepare for the exam. Grades fairly.

He is VERY HARD but KNOWS HIS****!!! you do a zillion problems a class which is great for the exams... you're prepared! BY FAR THE BEST FOR THIS CLASS ... AVOID KERMANI AND VALVERDE !!!! SHARMA IS BY FAR THE BEST

Hes not to clear when speaking. But if you understand his way of teaching you will find hes on eof the best in concordia!!!

Amazing teacher, he spends all class doing exam type questions which is amazing when it comes to studying. This is a hard class but this is the teacher to take. You do have to work really hard in this class but he's a great teacher and wants to make everyone understand.

He's not as bad as every1 says he is. He's ok. I had him for comm 215. The only prob i had was the fact that he teaches u more than u need to know for the exams and boggles ur mind with excess info. Besides that, he's NOT hard to understand and really does know his stuff. He's good. Don't worry u'll pass... just go see him.

Sharma's def the best there is for COMM 225. Just that the class is really annoying. But you have to take it, take him.

Good teacher. If you do problems throughout the entire semester and do no leave it until the exams you wil be fine. It is all practice. Exams will look similar to class assignments.

good teacher

BEST PROFFFF!! his exams are extremely hard but he is a fair graderrrr!!!!.. he just wants to see how the student thinks.. i lovedddd Profff Sharma and i wish he could teach me all my major classes!!

Sharma has a brutal honesty quality which might not be sitted with all student,but he can teach and he an prepare you for the exams like no other teacher,listen to him very good,he gives you all the points you need to know to get a good grade in his class,hard marker but fair exams.

no need textbook. Although I didn't give him perfect record... This teacher is one of the best teachers at jmsb. He constantly helps the school by being involved and is one of the smartest teachers at jmsb. I love going to his classes, and he should really be proud of himself. thanks sharma

Sharma knows everything about POM. A very nice man who truly wants his students to succeed. He's very available for questions and good about replying to emails. The bad part is that he goes through the subject matter too fast. He should slow down and do more example problems with students in class. Homework and final exam were brutal. SOS can help.

BEST PROFF. HARD BUT HELPS YOU IN LATER COURSES! He loves to help and is a very friendly guy, knows his stuff in and out. He is TOO honest to be a teacher only but very helpful and understanding. good at understading the people so will catch if you try to fool him. overall OK.

AWESOME.AWESOME.AWESOME. seriously, if you have to take this course, sharma is your man.

Good teacher.Be prepared for classes and everything will be fine.

Excellent prof! He truly cares about his students and will spend as much time with you (in & outside of class) to help you out. Hard course, but he's very friendly, approachable and a nice guy overall. He spends almost all of class time on solving problems and he provides quite a few extra problems that are very valuable for exam preparation.

He is a great teacher. Wants his students to succeed. Great Tip: Get your hands on the SOS booklets for this class. Some questions are exactly the same on the midterm and final. Take this Prof!

I took his class two years ago and he still recognizes me and stops to talk to me the hall. I love Sharma. :)

Very easy class. His assignments are made tough and marked tough, but they are only worth 10%. Plus a 10% project that took me 1 hour to do. Midterm and final questions come directly from the book!!! I was stunned to see that! Anyways, if you study they assignments and problem sets, so the end of chapter exercises, you will A+ it! TAKE HIM!

Sharma is a very sweet man. He has an Indian accent that is a little hard to understand sometimes but if you go over the material before class you'll be fine. He does many problems in class and is very open to questions.He really wants you to ask questions!

Very good teacher. Sharma cares a lot about his students! He'll do everything (everyday office hrs, private help...) in his power to help you understand. He jokingly says that the reason he wants us so much to succeed is so he can have a good pension. May be a bit of an acquired taste but he's definitely someone who has an open mind. Take him!!!!!!

Mahesh is an amazing teacher & individual. I have to admit I wanted to switch out of his course the first class due to his accent & lack of interest, but all sections were full so I decided to give him a chance. I'm happy I did because I learned so much. Many practice probs done in class & encourages attending office hrs. Will meet you anytime&day

Doesn't seem to care about students but when you take time to ask questions and go to his office he learn to respect you and help you. Only if you help yourself. Very smart man.

Great teacher. He is difficult to understand at times and you might have to repeat your question a few times but he is so helpful and kind. I recommend going to class because he really does explain everything well if you pay attention. Gives tons of practice problems, often much harder than whats on the exam, so you'll definitely be prepared.

Took 361 and 363 with him good teacher. Really like him as he does not cover any theory in his classes it's strictly math. The exams do not really reflect the problems done in class. Be ready to think outside the box when doing his practice problems. In order to do well you must try to predict what he will ask you on the exams and google it.

Solid teacher. Always ready to help. Youtube is very useful in this class. He curved us up by a solid 20%, he makes sure average is around 70% at least. Not the best at explaining but is always ready to help.

I think the biggest issue is just the communication, if you attend all of his classes and see him during his office hours he really tries to help you out. To succeed in this course you must do all of the extra assignment problems that he posts, if you do those in addition to attending the lecture- easy pass. He is caring and hilarious!
