Comment:
I also took his online stats class and he is by far one of the worst professors I've had. I have no idea how he is still allowed to teach one -- he NEVER answers your emails and is so unclear regarding assignments! Avoid taking a class with him.

Comment:
I took the blended course. Most of the time someone else came and taught for him. You can't understand him, and he doesn't explain anything well. Takes forever to reply to your emails. the online homework takes more time to complete than a test itself. Was not understanding at all. Would suggest taking this class with someone else.

He is very difficult to understand, but he is nice and understanding. I got great scores just from looking at notes. Just study and you will do fine, even if you don't attend class.

Took this class online, never again...wouldn't answer my emails then when he did claimed I never asked him for before then, which was the point of my email in the first place. Never answers you on blackboard and expects everyone to be a math major basically.

Comment:
He does not know how to properly teach an online class. He does not answer any of the questions asked of him, and his expectations for assignments are very vague. The minitab program he required for his class was not available or functional despite being listed on the syllabus. Tests are not well formatted and are not through the website.

Comment:
He is very difficult to understand because of his accent. His handwriting isn't easy to read either. He is a nice enough guy but not very helpful at clearly explaining anything. If you are not naturally good at math, he is not the teacher for you.

Comment:
His accent is really hard to understand in lecture, however this class is not unpassable. I feel like he gives tons of information that never shows up on an exam and just causes confusion when studying. He is a really nice guy but his class is hard. If you can teach yourself form the book then you might be ok!

He's tough. But not impossible. Study and do the homework. All his test questions were from the homework. Know the homework and you will pass no problem.

Comment:
HORRIBLE TEACHER!!!! He is absolutely awful, please, don't ever ever ever sign up for his class! He is impossible to understand, and he just stands right in front of the board facing it and write these problems that you have no idea what he is saying, or why, and he doesn't explain anything! Worst teacher I have ever had! STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM HIM

completely useless, failed his class with flying colors. math and business students, dont waste your money until you get a spot in margaret moores class, got a B+ in her stats class and i suck at math. I overheard that Gupta has a 70% fail rate so stay away from him and any other foreign teacher teaching math, I want a refund, sign up with moore.

Comment:
by far the WORST professor ever, even if you work hard and study you could still fail. If you get a decimal point off he takes 4 points off of the problem and test are only out of 25. He is unreasonable and unwilling to help. If you have to take Statistics wait for another teacher or take it elsewhere. WORST PROFESSOR DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

A teacher who cares very little about teaching. The odds of doing well in this class are very low. Be prepared to work very hard and still do poorly. A total waste of time and energy.

Comment:
Worst prof I have ever had! He told me he would fail me because he didn't like me. Apparently I "asked too many questions". Hmm, probably because I couldn't understand him and he talked at the board. I checked my tests with others and he graded mine wrong and theirs right. Very unhelpful. Thinks everyone should fail because his son is. Bad teacher!

Prof Gupta is by far the worst professor I have ever had. I?ve never had a problem with a math class but between his thick Indian accent and talking with his back to us I have understood 50% of what he has said. P.S Anyone who seems to think you are not cultured if you can?t understand this man, should be reminded we have to pay for his class.

Prof. Gupta is very smart man,funny to be listen,because of his accent,but I understood his lectures much better than some other professors,because of his teaching.No homeworks,but I recommend you to do them,because all the problems on his tests are from there.It's a hard class,and you must put an EXTRA time and efforts to pass it.

I don't recommend this professor. Worst professor I've had at USM. Most of his problems are his accent and lack of fluency in English, but they are still problems students shouldn't have to deal with. It is possible to succeed in this course with him teaching, but you end up putting in a lot of work just to make up for his poor teaching.

Very nice man.. expects students to do the work outside of class .. and ask questions if needed. A bit hard to understand at time with the accent but receptive to questions.

Comment:
He's ok. Class is dull. Exams are fairly easy, but so short that each question counts for 5% of your TOTAL grade. Unclear whats going to be on exam. Hard to get motivated to study in the class so you'll do bad if you are that type.
