Do not take this teacher, I have never experienced a more awful class to take. He only offers tests and exams and his accent is EXTREMELY thick making it very difficult to understand what he is saying on top of his sloppy handwriting leaving you trying to figure out what he wrote down and falling behind. He does not try to listen or respond.

He has a thick accent that makes the long, boring, lectures even worse. He reads out of the book and still gets questions wrong. Countless times the class had to correct him. Attendance is mandatory, it is a rough one to sit through. He won't stop to answer questions and only says "come to tutoring." Unhelpful, unengaging, and unwilling to adapt.

Caveat: 2004 -He has a thick accent and doesn't articulate or face the class. -He is quick. -Be a step ahead by reading the relevant portions of the book before lecture. -Sit in front. - Ask clarifiying questions to slow him down. -Notation and the beginning of the course are key or else you'll be lost.

Professor Bishwal was great, I hate anything related to math,the only reason why I took this class is because I had to for the GE Requirement. He has a thick accent but it is not too bad. I suck at math and with the help of CLAS and taking good notes I was able to get a B. The midterm & final are extremely easy, basically he uses the sample ones.

I stopped going to class after about the second week and still got an A in the class. Do your homework and you'll be fine.

He is a great Professor! I learned a lot. Tests were standard. One has to be very sincere and interested in the subject though. I highly recommend him to anybody.

really easy class, good teacher but hard to understand. just go to the tutor and read the book if you have a hard time with math like i do and you can get an A.

Dr. Bishwal is the man! He's nice, funny, and a great teacher. Makes the class interesting. He does have a thick accent, but you get used to it after a week or so. Great guy, fantastic teacher.
