Comment:
Rohan is one of the best profs at the University of Waterloo. He makes lots of jokes during lectures. The content isn't always straightforward but he ran two extra help sessions each week to compensate. He respects students and students respect him. In fact, he knows many students by name. Midterms were insanely difficult so be prepared.

He gives amazing lecture. Conveys ideas clearly and gives a lot of examples. Midterm can be a bit tricky. Final is much nicer.

Great prof, as someone who hated physics in high school I actually ended up with a semi okay grade and crammed for 16 hours before the final. The midterm is brutal (and multiple choice) but our final was very fair and they must have curved it a lot. He's funny and his lectures are the only ones I've never skipped.

Rohan cares. He cares about each of his students. Their attendance, their participation, their grade. If students are willing to try and reach out for support, Rohan is there to support. He is a great lecturer and makes lectures entertaining. He is quite a respectable man and professor.

Absolutely amazing with his lectures. He is extremely enthusiastic and cares about his students. His exams are insanely difficult though, and many people fail them each time. You may have to take his class twice, but at least it'll be fun.

Challenges you to do the best and cares most about his students learning. He likes to give many difficult examples and they help develop problem solving skills. The midterm and final were both very difficult but he wants to make sure you have learned the fundamental concepts of his course. He was definitely the best professor in my first semester!!

Comment:
By far the greatest professor I've had in my 1A term. This course was by no means easy: 60% of the engineers that wrote the PHY115 Midterm failed, and the final was from another world. However, Rohan puts forth his utmost effort to ensure that his students succeed. Try your absolute best in this course and don't be discouraged by your marks.

Rohan has opened up a whole new world in the subject, and now I find myself studying physics as a break from other subjects. Not because it's easier, but he has made it so much more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined. It's such a privilege to have a professor like him!

He's a great man. I'm remember him from 20 years ago, and he's the only guy prof from Waterloo I'd give the time of day too. Thanks for being a great guy, inspiration, and doing justice to a great science.

Incredible lecturer. The first university lecture I ever attended, and to this day the best prof I've ever had. Lectures are informative and entertaining. Difficult course, but he does everything he can to help you pass.

Good prof; he provides an extra class to solve for some difficult questions weekly. But if you talk to others when he is talking or you are using a laptop during his class, he will ask you to leave, pretty rude.

He was a substitute for my regular phy115 prof one day. He is really energetic and makes things make sense. People from my class run to the bio building to get seats in his class. When I was writing my mid term in access ability he gave me a hint on a question I was stuck on, I ended up solving it. It was the one with the train and the car.

Great prof. Go to help sessions. If you don't have him as a prof, brace yourself for the worst exams of your life. INSANE course.
