I barely learned anything from the lecture. The only reason I attended is that it is mandatory. Professor cannot clearly explain the material, not to mention helping you understand those equations. To get an A, practice homework over and over again. Don't ask why the equations work, because even the professor won't explain it well.

I've had him for 340 and 360 and I love Salapaka! He's hilarious in class when you pay attention to his jokes, REALLY cares about his students understanding the content. Always open to questions. I wish all professors were like him. He really knows his stuff, and while his homework is sometimes tricky, he will walk you through it.

Good professor. Very helpful and likes answering any question a student might have. Does not move too quickly during lecture to ensure full understanding.

Comment:
Salapaka is an alright professor but what I really didnt like about him was that he was not careful at all about writing lecture notes. There were always mistakes which made the class even harder to understand. He bases his exams on the hw and class examples so going to office hours really helps clear things up. He also keeps candy in his pockets

If you know basic calculus stuff like the chain rule, this class will be a breeze and you will learn a ton. Vasu does a pretty good job explaining things and does a ton of examples, but got rushed for time at the end of the semester.
