Comment:
Manish is probably the best prof in the department. He knows his stuff, and he talks to his students on an individual basis. His courses are intense and really make you think. You have the freedom to explore your own interests, but you need to achieve results since his expectations are high.

Comment:
Manish is a great prof who is very knowledgable in urban design. As the class is still very new, it suffered from organizational issues, however he cared a lot about improving the class from term to term. Prepare for a heavy workload, however he usually marks easy if you follow instructions and can show that you have put in the work.

Comment:
He is very well educated and a smart cookie, but not the greatest prof in my opinion. He did not have clear grading criteria and did not give adequate feedback on assignments/presentations. Marking was unclear, as class averages would be high 80s on one assignment and then in the 50s on the next. He is a nice guy, just needs to be a better prof.

Enjoyed the class, would have like to have more specific feedback and more details of what good urban design is. Learned valuable hard skills. Decent intro class. Prof is really interested in student feedback and the course is modified based upon the feedback.

Manish teaches this class at a 400-level so expect to work in the class. Fair grader. Really cares about pushing your thinking. You might find his manner direct but there is a lot you'll learn from him.

Comment:
He took his time to grade and hand back assignments, usually took almost a month to get grades back. The class was three hours on Friday, and we had to stay longer than 3 hours for him to finish the lecture and seminar. I wouldn't recommend him.
