CollegeAn EXTREMELY wonderful professor, who has clear grading criteria and motivates you to research things you like. You will definitely learn a lot if you're willing to chat with him in his OHs. And if you just want to get a good grade, you will be fine as long as you really put in your effort and thinking. Best prof I've ever had honestly
This class had no exams and the grades were determined by a few short essays FRQs and one larger research project. The lectures were a mixed bag of interesting and boring, but overall the class is pretty easy and definitely very doable. Singh is a great guy and you can tell he is really passionate and knowledgeable on the subject matter.
Professor Singh is clearly very knowledgable and passionate about the content of this class, however sometimes the lectures can be difficult to follow because what he is peaking about does not always match the lecture slides. There are a lot of readings for this class but often times he goes over them in class so you do not have to do them.
Professor is passionate about his work in lecture. Midterm and final exams make up 80% of total grade so lecture participation is necessary but content was super interesting!
Really a great professor - you can tell he loves what he does. The TAs were also awesome and so helpful. Study hard for the midterm and final bc it's basically your whole grade but professor and TAs give you the tools and help to succeed.
Great class overall, lectures can get a bit boring, exams are straight forward and pretty simple if you actually study. TA's are very helpful and lowk funny.
