The lecture notes are amazing. Stopped going to lecture around 3rd week and still aced the class. Sections were also super helpful, though we did have quizzes every other week.
Prof Rathore made 4B a very kind and easy experience by including less on the syllabus and making all tests easy. He basically recites the textbook in lectures and not more. Quizzes aren't as easy, but lower ones are dropped. I'd say take Rathore if you are tired of math or the stress. Also, bro does not know how to use canvas. Keep in mind.
Some of his lectures were quite fast paced and all over the place, but he always somehow seemed to make sure i ended up understanding the material at the end of the lecture. Nice in office hours and was very flexible when it came to grading and deadlines. Good at emphasizing what was important in lectures
He's good! Lectures are super helpful as he is writing his notes on the board with the class so he doesn't go too fast. He has examples in his notes along with key idea formulas emphasized and goes step by step. Super clear. You get used to the accent after a bit as well.
Lecture notes are all online so you can review when needed, midterm was straight from review packet. Definitely one of the easier Math 4B teachers. Also let me turn in work late.
Midterm was super easy, since he pretty much removed all calculus from it and only tested us on the actual differential equations parts. Highly recommend him!
This was a very tough class for me and I needed this for my major. I found Professor Rathore to be an inspirational teacher who made the material very interesting and accessible. I wish all my profs were like him. :)
Honestly the sweetest and most caring professor I have had at UCSB. He is super helpful in office hours and his grading is super lenient. Material is hard but he teaches it very well.
Professor Rathore is an excellent instructor! His lectures are super clear and well-organized. He is very accessible outside of class and genuinely cares about his students' success. He's also incredibly patient and willing to explain things multiple times if needed. Highly recommend taking Math 8 with him!
Rathore is a great professor, went to his office hours many times and he was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend taking him for Math 8. Homework is very helpful, provides a ton of resources to study for Midterms/Final, which were both extremely fair. Learned a lot from this class, take this professor!
Professor Rathore is one of those rare educators whose profound knowledge inspires and enlightens students, even those who may lack the motivation to study. Amidst the challenges of UCSB's math department, often critiqued for its suboptimal teaching methods, Professor Rathore stands out as a beacon of excellence and dedication to pedagogy.
