This guy changed my life! His methods and inspiration opened my eyes to a world where I want to understand how things work. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Mani.

Comment:
Biggest issue was the communication barrier. It wasn't even the accent, it was the fact that he was constantly sidetracked and often got flustered if a question was asked. Tests are curved so it's a fairly easy A, but if you actually need to learn physics, take the class from a different professor.

Comment:
This was the most frustrating class I have ever taken. The hard part wasn't learning physics, it was trying to communicate with him. I did not learn one thing about physics and he never does anything that he says he will do. He is just a very confusing teacher.

This was the most awful class I've ever taken. Dr. Mani is so sweet, but he is NOT skilled as a teacher at all. He gets very confused extremely easily and is inconsistent with grading. His class was super simple, but he was very frustrating.

Comment:
Dr. Mani is the nicest guy, and this is probably the easiest A you will ever get. But this class is mind-numbingly boring. You will learn how to calculate slope at least 50-60 times. Dr. Mani has good intentions, but it can be difficult to communicate with him as his English is sub-par.

Comment:
What can I say, he's Dr. Mani. Very easy to get an A in this class. Only gives 3 Exams and a Final. One of the exams is take-home. You probably won't learn anything in his lecture and he points that out to you on the first day. Be prepared for countless hours of mastering physics.

Comment:
He is very nice, but do not take his class if you actually need to learn physics. It moved so slowly and he repeated himself often. There was a communication barrier between the Dr. Mani and the class that led to a lot of wasted time. He also tried to make physics simpler, but actually managed to complicate it more. It's easy to get an A though.

Comment:
Avoid taking him at all costs! I would read the chapter before class and when I got there and he started to lecture I had no idea what he was talking about and it through off everything I thought that I knew about it. He's not terrible to get along with the class is just a waste of time and money and attendance is mandatory.

Dr. Mani is a horrible teacher! He doesn't really answer questions and isn't very clear on anything. Pretty much the class is a waste of time and money because you won't learn ANYTHING. I wouldn't take Dr. Mani if you can help it!

Comment:
Honestly... ridiculous. The first 3 tests were group/open book, so the final was basically your grade. I called after finals as I thought I had done well, and Mani admitted to me that 9/20 people were not happy with their grades. He told one student that she really deserved a C. He was also horrible at 1 on 1 tutoring. Don't do it...!

I was nervous at first but he was extremely funny! I enjoyed the class. He grades really easy. The tests are hard but it is hard not to make an A in this class. The book is hardly used! Overall I really enjoyed the class and Dr. Mani as a teacher!

He is a very nice guy but I DO NOT recommend his class. His teaching has no structure and students are forced to learn EVERYTHING from the book. I am very surprised his rating isn't lower on this site. STAY AWAY

I went to class every day and learned nothing. Sure he is nice but he can not teach. It was a waste of time and money. If you want to LEARN something about physics I would strongly suggest taking someone else.

Dr. Mani is a great guy... but a terrible teacher. If you are actually planning on learning something from Physics, take someone else. If you want an A because of his 30% curves on tests then take him.

Dr. Mani is a great guy and obviously loves his job. Class is boring & long! He is a funny guy...anytime you start to feel bored just think of him pole vaulting he was the champ in the eastern province of Shri Lanka. He's really bad with names & accent is hard to follow at first but you catch on tests are confusing but he is always willing to help

Dr. Mani is a really nice guy and it's obvious he loves what he does...However, he gets off track a LOT, his directions are often unclear, and most of the time you spend the whole class period discussing 1 particular thing. He is really lenient on tests, and as long as you actually show up to class and participate, you WILL make a good grade!
