Comment:
nice prof, textbook comes with pearson, 5 quizzes and 6 tests (lowest test dropped) the quizzes and tests are timed and he gives out ec if you take the practice tests. gives out full credit for homework/ec if you get 70% or higher. lockdown brower on test and quizzes but doesn't record your face so you can use mathway

He doesnt respond to messages and he doesnt do anything except enter in grades from mymathlab. If you are good with learning from just mymathlab then the class isnt bad however if you arent then please pick another class. (Dont expect any help from him)

Amazing profesor, everything is through my math lab and a few discussion posts. The hw really helps you review for the test and so much extra credit opportunity. Besides the PowerPoint lessons practice will get you an A and completing all assignments. Loved this class, straightforward, wasnt overwhelming. Definitely recommend.

All the work is done through MyMathLab plus discussion posts. Professor Basant makes the class extremely easy to follow and lots of opportunities for extra credit.

This man is sent from heaven! I took his remote class for the spring term and had an amazing experience. He spent a lot of time to go over the hw, and imagine this: classwork, hw, quizzes, and tests are all similar. Even the practice test (extra credit) reflects the actual test. TAKE HIS CLASS. You won't regret it!! :)

AMAZING online experience. Professor Basant has the class laid out perfectly. Im not the best in math and was very worried about Calc. I did not take pre-calc and still passed with 102% in the class. He drops the lowest test and the pre test reflects the actual tests. I recommend taking his class.

This professsor is very rude. I had to sign up for the class on the last day of add/drop and that did not matter to him. He's also way too tough. He does not drop any test, and his pre-recorded lectures are extremely blurry! He must have recorded them with an outdated camera years ago! I do not recommend.

I only used MyMathLab & never used his materials or asked him for help understanding anything, & still got an A. He takes a while to respond to emails, and sometimes forgets completely. I learn math better on my own, so if you need help from a prof., keep that in mind. He offers up to 30 XC pts. Use MML and review the problems, & you will do fine.

Completely rude and disrespectful to me and other students. Not compassionate or understanding what so ever. Reminded me of the worst highschool teacher i ever had. Thinks he is funny but absolutely isn't. Really strict with cell phones for no reason and doesn't treat students like adults. Absolute nightmare of a class. Avoid at all costs.

This is the first time I can say that I've really enjoyed a math class. Prof. Basant's lecture videos are very clear and easy to understand; the course is laid out in a very linear fashion in which each concept builds on the previous one. He responded fairly quickly to emails and was always helpful. Great professor; would take again!

Prof. gives great lectures and is easy to understand. MyMathlab helps me a lot and the test is very similar to the practice test seen on it. It is easy to fall behind if you miss the homework. If you can get an A on the math lab practice test, it will be the same for the real test in class.

He is one of the best math teachers Ive ever had. He makes sure you can get extra credit on the tests just Incase your struggling and gives study guides. No need to participate by raising your hand and what not just do the worksheets he gives you (always hands out 30mins before class ends so you can get extra help.

Gonna be straight forward the guy is an as hole. I took his online class and passed but he took weeks to respond to emails and when he did he was very rude when answering me. Be aware of asking questions he will yell at you. As for the online class, as long as you can teach your self and have discipline you will be fine.

I have mixed feelings, because while he is incredibly nice, he can be tough. He does not allow any make-ups of any sort so attendance is a MUST. Sitting in the front is CRUCIAL. I sat in the back of the class at first, and I could not focus. Once I moved up to the first row, my grade changed dramatically. Just do the work. You CANNOT slack.

I honestly did not get a good experience from this professor, it was my first online class and hopefully the last. Anytime I would have a question, he would take forever to reply and was always rude. the class is easy if you are good at math and willing to do a lot of work.

He's a good teacher. Willing to explain anything that you dont understand. Always willing to help during office hours. MUST GO TO CLASS. I missed a lot of class but I still manage to pass because I put in a lot of effort and communicated with him. He's got jokes tho. lol But overall he's a good teacher.

Took his class online and honestly it was the best decision I made. As any class for math, you will have to study, but the math lab helps so much. Also, he doesn't surprise you what's going to be on the test. He gives you practice test before any exam with similar questions to be fully prepared. I work full time & have 3 other classes and got an A
