brilliant, brilliant professor. yes, his class is tough and he has no patience for people who aren't interested but i found his class fascinating, his approach original and in all my years at university, rarely have i learned this much in a single class.

Comment:
Extremely difficult for a first year student. He is very idealistic as far as I observed but yes he should learn the difference between a first year and a graduate course. Plus, summer term and fall(its impossible to study in this hot weather!

Comment:
He is hard to understand and condescending towards students who take longer to understand the material. He is unable to explain the material in matter that is clear and easy to understand. He often lectured by reading the textbook instead of using his own words. Very unapprochable. I would never take a class with him again. He is simply awful.

He is a genius and a thinker that challenges the student. A real university class that forced me to be a better student. Turkey will be getting one of their very best minds back, while the UofO losses a great TEACHER (not just a lecturer).Thanks Kondu!

Most difficult course ever, yet it was a priviledge to be taught this material by Kondu. It is easy to see why on the surface many students do not like this instructor, but he is truly a genious and has so much knowledge to impart to you. Just work hard.

Kondu's class is extremely hard. You will have to work very hard for your grade- it takes you until you leave the class to realize that you have learned SO much. Get to know him outside of class, like in office hours, and it make sthe tone more bearable.

Assigments and exams are way too hard. Impossible to understand because of his lack of a grasp for the english language.

Kondu is a fantastic prof. His course actually felt like a university course, not just a glorified highschool class. And he's so much better than the new prof that mumbles as he reads his sheets in the corner!!!!
