sit close, he doesn't talk very loud

At times he doesn't speak loud enough for the folks in the back row (where I sit). he'll talk really fast and gloss over the topics the stupid students in the class don't understand right away. Otherwise, a fine professor.

Great teacher who knows what he is doing. He is very smart and helpful. If you don't know jack about computers, you might have a little hard time communicating with him. If you ask him, he will explain it in a different way.

he is nice guy ...always helpfull in study

Even though I was taking CSCI from another (horrible) teacher, I went to Nat to get some help, and he was very helpful and concerned at making sure I understood. Looking back, Nat would've been SO much better to have.

Very smart. Very clear. Excellent teaching style. Responsive to student needs. Helps out of class, if needed. He expects you to learn, not just "pass". If you are looking to "just get by", do not take this class.

Very friendly teacher

If you are used to the other classes at GPC that are cake walks, do not take this class. He teaches Java. You will learn Java. Show up to class, read the book, and you will get a good grade.

he is good, the course was easy for me, some students didint like him bcuz the subject was new and hard for them and they just kept blamintg everything on him, he is friendly, speaks quaite so u better sit in the fron row.

If you sit close (he is quiet) and pay attention, he is easy. If you dont pay attention, he will leave you sitting at the gate, wondering what he is talking about.

Do NOT listen to these other's comments. The people making these awful ratings just can't handle this course. He teaches with a thorough, thoughtful style that will take you from nothing to something in 3 months. Do your studying (unlike the others here) and I guarentee you'll love his class.

No Comments

He is very quiet, but if you listen, and put forth the effort to learn, you will get an A in this class. Taking him for CSI 1301

Great Teacher

He was very nice and helped me gain and understanding of computer science that I never thought was possible

He's a nice and easy teacher.. highly recommend him. Willing to help clarify anything and ...simply ... HE'S THE BEST! Take him

Great teacher! Always try to help you out. The class can be difficult but you will love it. He works with you. The labs are great. It is very hard to fail this class. Very nice man! Always makes the class interesting. Take this class if you decide to take computer science as a course. Great Class!!!

During this class I learned the basics of computer sciense, and my experience with this professor has encorage me even more to carry on with my major (Computer Engineering).

Good Professor, Focus, Stay on top of work, and you will succeed. Go Kumar

He is a good teacher if you apply yourself. You have to show him that youre doing your work and at LEAST trying to learn, if not he'll seem very hard to you.But overall good teacher, very linient grader on tests.!!

The dude is very funny. Every class I laugh. The class is kind of hard, so make sure to study well!

Good professor, but you have to read the book on your own. Make sure to read the book as you go, so that you can follow more easily when he gives lectures. The labs are easy, and if you study, you'll do well.

Great teacher. This class is for anyone interested in CS or Engineering. If you are a real beginner, do not worry, he makes it stupidly simple and does thorough reviews b4 each test. The final...was...a give away. It tested on if u understood the material, not on if you memorized the book.He'sfunny2

I enjoyed this class. Nat knows the material very very well. He was a good resource for me personally when I asked him about related matters to Computing. Very committed to teaching and the students.

I really enjoyd the class, proffessor has a great knowledge of what he is talking about.As long as you read stuff in a book and do lab you will be fine.

very intersting and easy to understand class

Professor Nat is a very knowledgeable and explains the concepts well. He stresses the points in the book that would be most beneficial to you whether your a computer major or a novelist.

This class was very challenaging, but I enjoyed raising to meet the challenage!

This is my first programming class. It is the challenge, but I think it is good for me to understand computer programs

This teacher was a good teacher. Material was difficult to grasp but he does a lot of examples so it gets easier to grasp the concepts. The class was pretty laid back and fairly easy if you just pay attention in class. Very few homework assignments.

Awesome teacher, extremely helpful. Although the class was easy anyway, he mad learning everything I didn't already know much easier to learn.

He is a good instructor. Sometimes the lesson go a little bit fast but he always makes sure that you understand it. The test he gave cover what you have studied. I did not find it hard at all. He knows which material is important to teach you and which should be ommited. Lecture is brief and taking note is not too hard.

He's ok

I think he did a good job on explaining what to do for each lesson. He helps you understand the material if you have any questions. How easy you find the class will depend on prior knowledge and if you are interested in the class or not. If you need help with any of the programming parts of the class, he'll help you out.

The subject matter was a bit challenging for me. The professor was good about laying out the requirements for the course and explaining what would be on the tests. He was relatively laid back. He was open to questioning and available for extra help. As long as you attend class, read the text, and complete the labs you will pass.

For all those thinking about taking csci 1300 in coordination with your current major, it is a very interesting class that will expand on your abstract thinking skills. Professor Kumaresan is a teacher that possesses alot of knowledge around the subject. If you are hardworking and want to learn about what csci offers, take this class.

Professor Nat has a slight accent, but is easy to understand. His tests are challenging, but he grades leniently. Make sure you read the book and practice and you will get an A.

Very good class.Excellent professor.Expects a lot.If you pay attention you will learn a lot

GREAT PROFESSOR. MADE THE SUBJECT ALIVE WITH REAL WORLD EXAMPLES. YOU GOT TO PUTIN THE EFFORT THOUGH!

Not going to spoon feed you to get a good grade. You have to keep up with a reading and ask questions if you don't understand. This class starts slowly, and speeds up quick at the end, so be prepared to put in long hours programming towards the end. He really knows his stuff, and is always in his office and willing to help. Plus, he's a nice guy.

Great professor. The negative comments about this guy arent true- he is clear in his teaching and is willing to help you through any issues(tests or homework)

Good Professor. Take him if you want to learn something.

Great teacher when one on one. Ask questions and you will do fine. When lecturing, he is a bit harder to follow, and every concept he covers appears on his tests.

A good teacher. Very intelligent and very helpful. I took him for 1300 and I am taking him in for 1301!

Easily my favorite professor from GPC. Kumaresan is such a brilliant, intelligent professor that has a passion for what he teaches. He presents the material well and gives great examples. I got A's in both of his CSCI 1300 and 1301 classes by reading the textbooks while taking notes. Tests are hard but fair. Definitely take him if CS is your major!

Fair & lenient if you show effort. Keep up with the reading or you'll be lost in lecture/tests. Test problems are about the same as those from the book/class/labs/hw. Won't spoonfeed how to write every single program, but available to help. That's just part of programming, you won't learn if you don't practice on your own. Really smart instructor.

Fast-paced class, will make you learn tons if you don't have a CS bkgrd. A LOT of reading. Better to study off the book (not the slides) for tests. Not great at explaining but will help clarify outside class. Can be snarky when students don't "get it" right away, but if you don't take his humor personally he is actually a very nice guy & hilarious.

His style relies a lot on the text. If nobody asks questions bec. no one has done the reading homewk, he'll move on or ask you to code somethg in 2 mins. Exams can be easy if you read and practice from class/book exercises. He'll often give a lot of partial pts for incomplete/buggy code. If you dislike fast-paced, don't take any CS in the summer.

He is a good professor, if you truly want to learn how to program! He is passionate and experienced in the subject.Be prepared to read the book ahead and ask questions in class.He is likes to help students that are interested, but not the lazy ones.Come to class, read the book, pratice the exercises and turn in all your projects even if with errors

Study the book and practice coding! He doesn't make the course easy but it isn't that hard. I studied a few hours the night before each tests and made straight B's. He gives extra credit and the tests are really not that hard.

Prof. Nat is a nice guy. However, his lecture was not so clear. He would give pop quiz out of no where, his written test was hard, make sure your understand everything in class.

CS major is difficult and requires a strong study habit which Prof. Kumaresan helps prepare you for. He is extremely knowledgable and helps guide you and make sure you're on the right path, but he will not hold your hand. If you are expecting to be spoon fed, this is not the class for you, or the major to be blunt.

Just one word, if you looking for a good professor. He is the one!

If you want to learn how to write code the right way and walk away from the class better than what you started as, professor Nat is the way to go. I took data structures with him and I learned a lot and he is fun guy as well.
