Comment:
I really enjoyed Ganesh as a prof. He makes his own lecture notes and challenges your thinking more deeply than the textbook does but it forces you to fully understand the subjects. If you go to lectures and think how he wants you to think you will do well, if you just read the textbook and don't go to class you will get into trouble.

Ganesh doesn't get enough love on this website. I'd say Comm 414 with him was the most useful class of my undergraduate degree. I feel so much more prepared for my professional exams. Plus, he met some of us for beers after the final. Great guy!

Comment:
He recommended the textbook, and highlighted in course outline that the textbook should be read closely. BUT, his lecture is nothing about the textbook, I can do most problems in textbook, but I still cannot do his quizzes, midterm, and final. His lecture is mass, totally cannot understand what he wanted to teach. Worst Prof. ever!!!!!!

Ganesh is a fairly nice guy and wants to help you, but is not successful in doing so. He is a very unorganized prof and difficult to follow in lectures. His tests and quizzes are not based on material learned in class or the textbook, and he tries to trick everyone.

Comment:
Not the greatest prof. He's a nice guy, funny and he really knows his stuff, but he is extremely disorganized. He makes upmodifies theories and he is so sloppy with his lectures jumps all over the place. He often goes on random useless rants about nothing related to accounting. His tests are also very hard and are on material never taught in class

Comment:
Ganesh is a brutally terrible prof. He does not know how to communicate his knowledge to students, his teaching style is a mess, and you would literally need to have 0 other classes to come close to doing all the problems he "recommends." I would avoid him at all costs. Tests are ridiculously hard and extremely unclear as to the expectations.

Comment:
Ganesh is one of my favorite profs. He is very knowledgeable about the course material and is obviously very passionate about it. Ganesh is all about talking to students and encourages meeting outside of class. He asks you to really "struggle" with the material because he genuinely wants you to understand. GREAT PROF!

I will say that this class is not his niche & it shows. The midterms were undo-able and it showed in the awful class averages. His lectures and online notes were all over the place and his style of answering questions were different from the textbook way. The final was the worst final I've ever written. He curved the hell out of the class though.

His notes and lectures and lectures are all over the place.He teaches the material way differently than the textbook. Exams are difficult. Powerpoints go up late if there even is one. You must DEVOTE YOUR LIFE to COMM 308 if you expect to get a decent grade(75+).If you fail the midterm drop the class because you may fail the next midterm.

This class is terrible. The worst part is that no one really knows what is expected. Going to him for help is useless as well. He is nice but very disorganized. His teaching style can be good once there is understanding but when no one understands it just ends up being really confusing. To do well you need to get inside his head somehow.

Awesome prof, He would give his left arm just for a person to understand a difficult topic. Running behind, tell him and he will help as much as he can. He is my favorite prof and I have learned a lot from him. Keep it going my friend. Best class was making a movie in order to understand the controls in a business!

Funny, nice, and bright guy. I think he teaches the class only because there's nobody else. Useless and boring textbook and class. Easy marker but there's more reading on the exams than writing - learn to skim!

I have two degrees, and this is my third degree, and he is indeed one of the worst profs i have ever had. Makes me sick that I paid for this class. I am frustrated and upset that it is a mandatory class to get in to CASBI

His classes are hellish, his "helpful" explinations twice as confusing as his first, and who on earth collects mechanical pencils? I felt like an oppressed pesant under communistic rule during his classes. (oh yeah, that was in Brandon) hav
