Excellent. Probably the best math prof UD has.

Sometimes seems to expect perfection. Very helpful in office hours.

The best math prof at UD, the most helpful prof ever in office hours, Great Guy

Approachable. If you have trouble, DEFINITELY go to office hours.

he says tests are just like homework,sometimes they're not

sitting in class = watching grass grow. the lack of challenge is appalling.

Excellent lecturer. Very clear and thorough. Best math teacher at UD.

Very clear with lectures. Notes were very helpful and tests were very fair.

The best prof. in UD.

He is awesome! Interesting lectures and fair exams.

a great professor...explains things well.... he gives lots of partial credit too

Excellent teacher, explains things very clearly. Can be picky with grading.

great proffesor. tests can be hard, but are graded very fairly

Great teacher. easy to follow lectures. If you don't understand it's you, not R

goes the extra mile, trests are based on understanding, not reiteation

If you are a dry erase marker, run and hide my friend, run and hide.

Excellent teacher. Very clear, lots of examples. Good partial credit too :)

The best lecturer I have ever seen; always motivating the material, clear and coherent.

Amazing teacher, TAKE HIM! he's fair and explain things well. Tests aren't bad, just do the work and you'll do well

Tests are hard. Doesn't give a review sheet. Will always go to extra mile to help you understand the material though. Talks very quietly and has an accent though.

Good teacher. Very flexible with office hours. If you study hard, you will do well

Very good teacher.Predictable tests. Very helpful. Has the BEST accent. The best math teacher i've had..a VERY smart man.

Excellent teacher in all aspects. Only one problem for straight'A' students: there is always only one 'A' in his class.

very helpful and very good at explaining everything.

Used over 30 dry erase markers in one winter session, but he is a very good teacher. He is the best math prof i have had at this university.

Very good teacher. Uses a lot of examples that resemble what the tests will be like. Unlike other math teachers in this dept hes helpful when asked.

Take this class if you like being challenged

good professor, explains things well but tests are hard. curve at the end of the semester.

wore the same red sweater every day for the winter session. but he's a pretty good teacher and tests are just like class examples

Took it during W05. Teacher is great but the class is hard. You MUST do HW, and then get help on HW next day. This will give you c+ ->b-. Teachers lectures give you about 60% understanding. You have to do HW and go to him for more help to get a good 80-90%.

Rakesh is great. Very knowledgeable and good teacher. Tough class but course load is pretty reasonable. His accent is never tough to understand. RECCOMENDED.

Great teacher. He explains everything in detail and with examples and then makes you use what you have learned in applying it to his difficult homework projects. Amazing course that really challenges and teaches.

Great teacher. Always explains and derives equations and ideas. Always do the HW they really help on tests. He likes to give 1.5 hour tests in 50 mins so be prepared.

Great teacher. Took a subject that I had no desire to learn and helped me get a good grade. Free response test actually help you out, he gives alot of credit for correct procedure rather than correct answers. Seems overwhelming at first, just stay up w/ the work. (Summer class)

One of the only decent math professors at UD. Very good at explaining material. Class is not mandatory, but you would be foolish to not go if you're in the honors sect. Maple projects are really hard, but he is a very lenient grader. Glad to help out of class.

Professor Rakesh is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. His tests and projects are very challenging, but there is a lot of extra credit. All material is explained very clearly (sometimes he moves almost too slowly), and if you do not understand something, he'll help during office hours.

He goes really in depth and makes sure you know why and how everything works. That being said, his classes are a bit harder than the normal, but if anyone were to teach well at this level, it would be him. He is very friendly and works well during his office hours. Overall good teacher

Professor Rakesh is awesome. Although his tests are hard his grading is fair and explains things very well. Office hours are helpful. Do the assigned hw and you'll be fine.

Rakesh is such a great professor. I'm a freshmen, but I can already say he will be one of the best, if not the best professor I will have had. Go to class and pay attention, he makes sure you understand every bit of the material. Cares heavily for his students and wants to see them all succeed in the class. Outstanding professor.

I loved Rakesh! At first I was really nervous about taking this class honors, but in the end I was glad I did because he's a great teacher. The in-class part of the test is usually not too hard. The take-home part is harder, but he gives you a whole week to finish. Start the maple projects early and go to him for help if needed. I recommend him :)

Honors is a lot more difficult from the regular section that Rakesh teaches, but if you want a challenge, then this class is good. Rakesh is an excellent instructor and explains clearly. In the honors section, it's not hard to do well as he tries to curve so no one gets below a B-. That being said, getting an A is tough most years, 95+. Still good

Awesome guy !.. one of the best professors i have had so far! Office hours are the best! Homework problems may be a bum but it builds u up for the test which is all from the homework he assigns.

Rakesh is the man. He is the reason that I finally learned analysis and how to properly do proofs.

It is very, very important to go to class because he does not always teach straight out of the book, but he expects you to know his methods. Quiz every week on the HW. Overall not difficult, just a lot of time needs to be put in. Plus he's really nice.

Iǘe been around math for a while and I've had several great teachers and Rakesh easily makes it into my top three. His class might not be easy but you'll never say it is the hardest class you've ever had and most important of all: you'll learn from him to UNDERSTAND math and not only to manipulate the symbols. Extremely helpful, polite and cle

the class wasn't the easiest in the world and the homework assignments were a major pain, but it isn't hard to get a decent grade. he understands that the class is difficult so he gives people B's as long as they aren't clueless.

Class material starts out pretty easy, but by the end of the semesester it is HARD. Assigns a lot of homework problems, which gets annoying. You will work hard if you want an A, but it's not impossible. Go to office hours (because I never did!). I do think he is a good, knowledgeable teacher, but the way he explains things is sometimes confusing.

Rakesh is absolutely AMAZING! He is really helpful if you reach out to him. If you can't make it to regular office hours, he will usually be there whenever you ask him to be. He is really nice too. Just do the homework (even though it's not graded), go over the notes, and you should be fine in his classes. Rakesh is the man!

Rakesh is honestly just a great dude. his class is tough and you need to put the time in to get the grade you want. i botched the final exam so i went down to a b+. despite the difficulty level, i feel like i learned an extreme amount, very in depth, and had a good time doing so. a lot of people i know retook him next semester just becuz he rocks

While taking this course, I loved Rakesh. He's so adorable and fun and very helpful during office hours. It is an extremely hard class however and I felt unprepared for the tests despite doing all of the homework. He's also a bit of a tough grader, but you will survive!

Rakesh was always willing to help students whenever they need clarification on material. For me, the material got much easier as the semester went on, so don't worry if you don't understand it immediately. Go to him for extra help and he will make sure you understand everything.

Rakesh is the man. His tangents were life changing. Tests questions involved a decent amount of thought, but if you understood the material they were not difficult.

Nice prof. Great explaination. Good class constructure. But be prepared to have 3 mids and 1 final which means every month you have a mid and during last 2 weeks you have 3rd mid and final together.

Rakesh is INCREDIBLE!! This class's material can be pretty dense but he explained everything so thoroughly and gave us a solid review of previous math classes to make sure we had the foundation to learn this class's material. He truly truly cares about his students and really made an effort to get to know us in this online class. 11/10 just amazing

He is an awesome professor. He acknowledges that most students taking Math221 have no interest in learning calculus so he goes out of his way to explain topics for different types of thinkers. He cares about his students and doesnt make you feel stupid if you dont understand something. Class consisted of web assign problems and daily quizzes.

If you can, definitely take his class he is one of the best math teachers Ive ever had.

He is a great prof he teaches the material in a way that students without a strong math background can understand he cares about his students too

Although Math 503 was fairly challenging, professor Rakesh did a good job in making it as simple as possible and helping the students in the class understand the material. Just make sure to do the homework's and understand the material gone over in class.

I highly recommend Professor Rakesh! He is an amazing, caring professor and always helps his students. He is very intelligent and very approachable. He cares about his students' understanding of concepts and will meet with you if you need help, sometimes even asking to meet just to help. His exams are not hard as long as you do ALL the homework.

One of the best professors at UD. Goes super slow over topics and can be a little repetitive, but it is worth it. A hidden gem in the math dept.
