How come nobody rate this guy? He's super awesome! Great teacher, gives you advice, funny, fair, and he gives you food!! Yes, he feeds you after some hard work! We had a pizza party..how many college professors do that? Becuz my class missed a whole month of class due to snow, we didn't party as much, but one party is more than enough.

He is the best professor ever at UMass Lowell, after Prof. Stephen Pennel and Prof Monty Carter. He teaches technical stuff with such ease and excellent examples that even a duffer can understand what he is talking about. And he is the nicest guy ever too. Take his class if u can.

He's a great teacher. He makes complicated information easy to comprehend. You must study and read the text if you want an A though. He wants everyone to pass and apply themselves. Do every assignment he assigns. They are simple. Some idiots in class didn't do them just because and he docked them big time for not caring enough to do the assignment.

First, lets just start by saying what other college level professor has bought the entire class Dominoes pizza? Because this teacher did it twice! This was hands down one of my favorite teachers that I have ever taken. He makes learning an enjoyment while extremely informational, and his lectures were straight forward. Great guy, 100% loved class!!

I took Business Info Systems once a week for 3 hours, so in general 3 hour classes usually get boring and hard to maintain attention. The material in general wasn't in my interest but the grading was super clear and heavily relied on the textbook. READ. Really nice and super helpful in or out of classroom.

Professor Bhindarwala is extremely knowledgeable in the subject and provides lots of real life examples to help understand confusing topics.

Bear in mind these lectures were virtual over Zoom due to COVID-19, so I imagine his in-person lectures are very different. Great professor with a sense of humor who knows his field well. His lectures, while a bit hard to process due to his accent, are great as he presents more than what is actually shown on the slide.
