Goat. Explains concepts very well and is very lenient on homework deadlines, quizzes were lowkey annoying, but the lowest 2 get dropped. Midterm and final were really easy. Easy class as long as you stay up to date. Only con is his accent, which you get used to after a couple of lectures.

Only cons r bit of an accent and sometimes he's off track but thats kinda cute in a way. Went to all his lectures and never looked at his notes (which r supposedly pretty good) and finished with an A. 5 quizzes 2 get dropped and a final and a midterm that were easy. Would def take him again.

Jitendra's class has a clear grading criteria. His lectures and notes are also fairly decent. However, in my class we didn't cover Laplace transforms. It is unclear how well he has prepared me at this point. Overall, he's a fair balance between rigor, content, and accessibility. A fairly decent professor overall.

I honestly slacked off when I took 4B and ended up with a 71.9%, and I begged for a roundup to 72 to meet my prereq, to which he said no. The material is easy, but sometimes the quiz material caught me off guard. Take it, but please lock in (since I didn't) and keep in mind that he won't round up for you.

Has a heavy accent which can be difficult to understand at times. Can be disorganized during lectures. Lectures are ok but sometimes go over things that aren't very relevant to the course. Quizzes in section were difficult but midterm and final were easy. As long as you study a lot on your own you'll be fine.

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!
