Avoid avoid avoid, dude will butcher ur gpa, take a whole lotta points off for minor mistakes like forgetting a negative sign (unless he likes u). Yea he also has an obscure grading system where he p much grades on how he feels (unless he has a TA to grade). Hardly gives tests, office hours he just likes to be condescending

Not good for your grade. His exams are not hard he's just a psychopath when it comes to grading. took off points for handwriting and menial things. zero compassion he failed a whole section of calc 2 kids during a summer course! they had already failed that same class the previous semester. because of failing twice they were kicked out of cooper.

Comment:

This guy isnt that good as a teacher. His handwriting is atrocious, making it extremely hard to actually see what he is writing. Further he has a a specific accent which can confuse you at times. MA111 was graded off 3 test, in which a good majority of the class failed or barely passed the first exam. One of my greatest regrets was not transferring

Guy is a clown. Lectures make no sense and aren't helpful for the exams or HW. At least the exams are fair. Just cram the textbook and don't even listen to him

He's super condescending, difficult to understand, and incredibly unclear. Take literally anyone else unless you enjoy being treated like an idiot by an idiot at 8am.

He takes attendance, but there is no need to listen to the lecture. But, if you choose not to listen to his lectures, keep in mind you still need to teach yourself all the material to do well. Studying the textbook is all you need to do good. I got a B on the first two tests by cramming the textbook 10+ hours the day before, nothing else.

Comment:

Om is an awesome professor, if you are actually interested in learning the material. It seems that some of the comments below not only reflect room for improvement with math, but open mindedness in general. I am embarrassed and ashamed that my peers would make comments about someones accent who teaches a subject thats language is universal.

Spent two hours proving something that was literally incorrect. Highly recommend the three hour lectures for the true Agrawal experience.

Comment:

If you have the right mindset for real math (and most engineers seem not to), his classes are a breeze, and you will probably learn the material for personal interest anyway. He is super lenient about grades in upper-level classes. But in the required classes, tread carefully. Tests are truly straightforward but (many) people fail anyway.

Comment:

You have to read the book, and do the practice problems if you want to do well in his class. At least skim the chapter before going into class. You have to be able to think about about the implications of a theorem/proof to have any hope of understanding it. If you're seeing it for the first time in class, your odds of understanding it are slim.

I heard Om was awful, but I ended up being forced into his class for DiffEq.. surprisingly EXTREMELY easy. I think just for this class he is really easy. Just do the homework, don't mess up the tests, and you'll get an A. Class can be boring when he spends 30 min correcting a dumb algebra mistake, though...

Totally unclear and unhelpful in lecture and in his exam writing/grading. Knowing the material is not enough, you must also guess what he is thinking, because paying attention in class and asking questions is no help. He often does not know how to answer textbook homework problems.

Comment:

Anyone with an iota of interest in engineering (read: not a math geek) should avoid him. Goes off on theoretical flights of fancy, does not cover applications. Avoid especially any "EE" courses he (co)teaches, his flights here are not just theoretical but often irrelevant. His exams for a graduate course will try to test your knowledge of Calc I.

A good profesor if you are actually interested in learning math. Likes to prove everything very rigorously. Never goes through any of the applications of the concepts, though.

Comment:

Om is an interesting breed. he teaches mathematics, not engineering, so you'd better be ready to learn things the proper way. his tests are insanely easy, but somehow people fail them anyway. Very funny also, but sense of humor is quircky to say the least.
