Wish I could have him for every math class. Had him for Calc 2 and I think he was the best Calc 2 professor I could've gotten. Was so much fun and would do anything to help his students. Would stay at office hours until 5pm. He gave us a quiz every Thursday, which seems annoying; however, helps your grade and will prepare you for the exams.

Overall an amazing professor and person. He is from India so he has a slight accent, but he has probably the best English out o many other professors. You can understand him easily. He explains things very clearly, will stay to help you no matter what time it is, has review sessions all the time. There is a weekly quiz, but he is a must take!

Took him last fall. He is a great prof overall. However, he has the habit of calling people to answer and participate, like it's a middle school. It's college for god's sake. Other than that, he was pretty cool, would recommend.

Hard class, but amazing professor! He spends at least 8 hours a week in his office helping students on homework and study, I don't think he's ever eaten a whole lunch meal because he is so dedicated. He really does want you to do well, and encourages student exploration, even giving me fun little puzzles on the side after I mentioned liking them :)

Office hours are basically tutoring sessions and are invaluable. A lot of quizzes but they're all scheduled, never a surprise. He's a fan of stand-up comedy and makes little jokes during class. Calc II is tough, but he made the class fun. Fell behind the syllabus because he wanted to make sure everyone fully understood all concepts. No curve.

Go to office hours! He offers quiz redemption and you can gain back 80% of the points you lost which is great! Sometimes there is a lot of online homework, but he gives you about a week to do them and sometimes extends the deadline. The review sheets are just like the exams! Definitely taking Calc 2 next semester with him. Be ready for "game show."

Probably the best math professor there is at Towson. He's a great teacher and uses a lot of examples to get the principles across!

Wouldnt have passed calc with a different professor. 2 exams, 6 quizzes, and paper AND online hw due about every 1-2 weeks. He's available almost every day outside of class for help or if you want to makeup a quiz or homework grade. He curved our grades at the end of the semester which brought me from a C to a B. Extremely thankful for the man.

TAKE HIM!!!! He allows you to redo your graded work and get points back which really helps your grade. Yea, he's a hard grader, but he gives you feedback so you can improve on it. Honestly, he's the best math teacher I've taken at Towson. If you want to actually understand calculus, take him. You won't regret it.

Walia is tough, he grades every homework and test to the very detail,but he is available outside of class anytime you need help. If you do the work and review the review PPT for the exams you will be fine. Kids who are not good at math will have difficulty. He does let you redeem points from any quiz or hw but not exam. Easy B if you put the timein

Honestly love professor Walia. Yes he is a tough grader, but he offers redemption for quizzes and homeworks that can seriously boost your grade. Also his teaching style is very good, you can tell he really cares and is trying his best to help his students understand

Dr. Walia is always available outside of class for redemption on quizzes and homework. You can get back 80% of the lost points on these. Grading is very detailed on homework/quizzes/exams. If you're a slacker and don't want to attend office hours or are just generally not good at math skip this class. Otherwise this is an easy B or working A.

Dr Walia is AWESOME! Yes, he is a tough grader and he does put you on the spot but only because he genuinely cares about his students. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. He offers redemption points which will save your grade. He loves it when students ask questions. You get points for participation.

I took him for Calc 2 and Discrete, and he had the same grading criteria in both. He really wants students to pass and is very accessible outside of class. He fell behind the syllabus in both classes, but it was so everyone understood the material. You have to put in some effort, as it is a math class, and as long as you do the work, you'll pass.

Discrete mathematics is a terrible and seemingly useless subject, yet it is required at TU for some majors. I took it once with another professor and again with Walia. Rajeev Walia makes passing Discrete Math possible. His redemption policy on homework and quizzes is something you should abuse to the fullest, as it is what makes passing possible.

Rajeev can be very intimidating for some kids espically if you are the type who doesn't like to participate. He tries to get people off their comfort zone and tries to get everyone involve. and if you are stuck with any problems or if something doesn't make sense no matter how silly it is you can ask him and he'll be more than happy to help. GOAT!!

Professor Walia is the best teacher I've had at Towson. I suck at math, barely passed Calc 1 and felt unprepared for Calc 2. However, he teaches at a relatively slow pace and makes sure you understand the material. There's a lot of homework, but he allows grade redemption for all assignments except tests during office hours. Take him!!!

Dr. Walia is a great professor, you can tell he really cares about his students. He explains the material well in class, and is also helpful during office hours. There is a lot of homework and he can be a tough grader, but it helps you in the end. He also offers redemption points on homework and quizzes. I would definitely take him again.

He is a very knowledgable teacher and he is always pushing you to do better, however sometimes he can make you feel a little bit stupid. He is also a very tough grader, his way or no way. But for calc1 one of the best profs, our test avgs were the highest throughout all sections. LOTS OF HOMEWORK, be ready to work for your grade. you will learnalot

If you are willing to put the time in you will pass the class. This is one of the hardest courses I have taken so you really just need to spend time outside of class going over what is taught in class. He always is available for office hours and allows you to get points back on quizzes. He genuinely wants you to pass.

Professor Walia really cares about his students. He will stay for many hours after office hours have ended to make sure each student understands the material. I succeeded in higher mathematics courses because of the way he taught calculus 1. Highly recommend. Best mathematics teacher I have had.

I'm retaking Calc I, which is rather embarrasing, but this guy is the best math professor I've encountered. Most professors don't really care about their students, but prof Walia is willing to put in extra hours outside of class to help you understand. If you put in the work, there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't do well in this class.

He's very pedantic, which can come off as condescending, but he doesn't mean to be. He's hard on his students because he wants to give the best education he can, and he'll come through for you if you show him that you're really trying. I respect him a lot and I think he's a great teacher. Not easy, but more than worth the extra effort.

Don't get me wrong, calculus 1 is a hard subject, there's no denying that, but Dr. Walia makes it easy to understand. The way he teaches makes the content easy to understand and he makes sure his students understand. He is a hard grader only because he encourages us to do it the right way, which in the long run helps a lot.

If you are going to Take Calc II, take Walia's 273 class. If not, find a professor that is an easier grader.

If I had not taken Math 263 with Dr. Walia, I would have failed. I am the worst at math, but Dr. Walia helped me so much. His grading is specific, don't expect to pass if you don't put 110% effort in. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! He genuinely wants you to pass. Work with him and he will work with you! It's a tough class, but he makes it bearable.

Professor Walia makes this class a lot harder than what most other professors make it. Hes very strict with his grading like if you miss a comma in quantified statement. BUT with that being said, hes always available, always records office hours, hes fair and reasonable. Though many people dropped, if you stuck around he helped a lot

Dr. Walia is an excellent professor. He is detailed and clear in instruction. His lectures are what I consider high-intensity. You must give full attention during every lecture. If you do, you shouldn't have to use any external resources to learn. This was the easiest math class I've taken so far; only because Dr. Walia is such a great teacher.

He is amazing. He gives participation grade to keep the class engaging, go over homework in office hour, review sheets are very helpful. He is very strict on grammar error in quiz & exams, which I found a bit annoying but overall he was good. You do not need book or other extra resources for help. I highly recommend to take classes with him.

He does have specific things he looks for when grading, but he was 100% upfront about it from day one. He genuinely wants us to do well. He always goes beyond his office hours and leaves us recordings of them in case we do not get to attend them. The most crucial part is that he teaches very well. I have had professors that don't know how to teach.

Reading the bad reviews got me worried, but after spending close to a month in his class I can say that I am glad that I gave him a chance and took his class. He knows what he is doing because I usually don't understand things from the first time, but with him I did. Homework was a lot and participation was mandatory, but it helped my quiz grade

When I was taking the course he would inform us that our test grades were constantly 10% higher than other professors who taught the same course. His class was lecture heavy but no textbook reading AT ALL = win! He had office hours which helped me a lot. Not an easy course by ANY means so be prepared to have a lot of homework and studying to do.

Had I not had him as my professor I would have not done so well in this class.1) He knows how to teach! 2) Always available for office hours in person or online 3) Homework was a bit much but consistent 4) Always kept us updated with announcements and very organized etc. If you put in an honest attempt you will pass.

I will say this, he was strict in grading, but he was upfront about it from day one. Even when we work on problems in class he will say "make sure to add this". And when I got back my quizzes/exams I got a better idea of the detail he looks for. He goes above and beyond for his students.

This professor is a strict grader, but he lets you know at the beginning and tells you what you should write on quizzes and exams. He is available for office hours which will actually help you on quizzes and exams and he also records them. Just pay attention in class and go to office hours and you'll be fine.

Professor Walia explains things very well and even gives you participation points for answering and asking questions. If you pay attention and put in the work, easy class. He records all lectures and office hours so you can always go back to it on blackboard or even take the class online from your room. He also curves grades depending on class.

an insane amount of work but a good professor whos very accessible outside of class. exams are weighted heavy so be careful, and theres quizzes weekly. he also is very peculiar about grading but makes his standards well known, its just a lot to remember. overall great

I took him for MATH273, and I am taking him again this semester for MATH274. An amazing professor, with great notes, just follow the way he does maths and you're good. Drops the lowest quiz, webwork HW every week worth 10 points, lots of opportunity of extra credits. Attend his office hours.

He is an amazing professor who cares about his students more than any other prof. I've seen. The course is difficult and he's strict but before the first exam I didn't go to him and did bad but after going to his office hours I got a B on my second exam and an A on the third and final exam. If you care about understanding the material he's perfect.

I love Dr. Walia, calc 2 isn't a walk in the park, and he tends to put people on the spot sometimes, but overall he's a great professor and you should take him. If you're not ready to study, you shouldn't take this class in the first place though. That said, I'd definitely take him again he's great.

Class it self is tough no matter who the instructor is. He is a great when it comes to office hours and teaching. The class is very content heavy. If you visit office hours you will do good in his class.

This professor is really good. I WOULD RECOMMENDED TO TAKE HIM. He is very nice and knowledgeable. His classes are very engaging. I like the way he does his participation game.

Great Professor! The course is very tough but he makes it easy to understand in class. Attendance and class participation is a must. It will allow you to understand the course material. If you struggle go to his office hours and he will make sure your prepared for the quiz and exams. He does review for both quizzes and exam which are very helpful.

He is really good professor.

I would recommend to take him.

He has wonderful teaching style.

Very good at explaining concepts, records everything and does comprehensive zoom reviews for exams. However he is kind of rude, if you answer a question in class wrong enough he will put you on the spot, is very specific about wording on tests. Only calc 2 professor who gives a reference sheet for quizzes and exams, it is EXTREMELY helpful.

Weird guy. Good at teaching. I didn't care about his attitude because it was mostly just being frustrated about people not understanding basic concepts. If you don't want to participate, participation grade can be replaced with exam grade. Curves exams. He should stop being a hardass about breaks. Sometimes people just gotta take a dump yknow

His lectures are pretty good and detailed. He can be a real hard ass sometimes when grading and when students answer questions in class. The class material itself is pretty difficult but he makes a genuine effort to help his students any way he can. You will have to study a lot and go to office hours to pass. Stay away if you want an easy grade.

I took him for calculus ii and Discrete math. He is so good at his lectures. Yes, he gets a little angry when students make silly mistakes but that shows how much he wants his students to learn. He is a tough grader but gives a lot of extra credit and does favors in exams. He is reachable outside of class every day of the week except the weekends.
