CollegeLoved Sahaj! He helped us all enjoy the class and vitally encouraged us to learn through active participation. His classes are fun! And he is very kind and funny, as well as very prepared and knowledgable. He always made huge effort to support the students. I wish I could take more classes with him in the future.
Sahaj is the greatest of all time. Witty remarks and conscientious instruction, he has it all. By far, one of the best courses I have had the pleasure of taking. I actually enjoyed attending it everyday. Absolutely the highlight of this quarter. Best instructor ever.
Sahaj is an excellent instructor who made the class feel supported every day. His enthusiasm towards the subject is infectious and he strongly contributed to the overall positive learning environment. His feedback is always personalized, a testament to how much he wants to see his students succeed.
Great instructor, very engaging and open to questions and criticism. Accessible outside of class. Do the work and get an A, not that hard but time-consuming if you really want to learn.
Learning Hindi is fun with Sahaj. His handouts and creative presentations are very helpful in learning a new and foreign language. He is kind and accommodating. Assignments, midterms, and finals are doable when you pay attention in class and keep track of the topics covered. He is extremely passionate about his work! I 100% recommend his classes!
Sahaj is by far the best instructor I have had at UCSB.
