CollegeOn the first day of lecture, Joshi mentioned that most of the learning will take place in sections, readings, and "flip classroom." He rambles during his lectures, is very difficult to understand, and always goes past lecture time. He posts past lecture videos and tells us to go watch them when it is his job to teach us in class. One of the worse.
I will not lie to you, please listen to the past negative reviews, I find I agree with most of them. Lectures and course structure is very messy and unintuitive. Puts complicated questions on exams and hw and often makes mistakes himself when solving them, which is confusing. I hear the course is being revised so have hope it will get better.
Was scared to take him because of the RMP reviews, but ended up being my favorite class I've taken here. Lectures can be a bit confusing at times, he makes a couple errors here and there. Midterms are doable he gives points back on them. Very funny and kind professor. You'll be fine as long as you go to lecture.
took summer session. His expectations and what will be on the test were very clear. If you understand the practice exams he posts and know his lectures well you will do well on the exams. section questions helped, overall a nice prof
Tough class and lectures were a bit disorganized but its not impossible to do well as long as you put in the work by actually reading the textbook and doing at least some book problems for each chapter. Don't get discouraged by the many bad reviews.
Dr. Joshi is a very kind and knowledgeable professor. The lectures may be slightly rushed sometimes, but all can be cleared up by rewatching them and asking questions in office hours or after class. It's essential to do all the book problems and understand them entirely. Start studying early for this class and stay caught up and you will succeed.
