Comment:
kapoor is rude and impatient to his students when people ask questions during lecture. i stopped going to lectures about 2 months in because they were useless and just learned from the hw and the questions on the quizzes were similar to the hw. its an easy A though with minimal work to be done.

He honestly deserves a 1. Do not take this professor, he is the textbook definition of useless. Also disrespectful to students.

Prof. Kapoor whispers when he teaches, reads off of his lecture notes, evades answering questions or blames students for asking questions. Do not expect him to communicate with students.

STEER CLEAR of this professor especially when it comes to online classes! He talks quietly and mumbles through his lectures. He has a very belittling attitude when answering questions during class or when you email him. He is not helpful at all. If you want a professor that can actually teach finite, I would recommend William Slowikowski.

Comment:
His online lectures are horrible, he is extremely soft spoken so you can barely hear him and even if you turn up the volume all the way up, you cannot understand him at all. He is rude to the individuals that ask questions during the lectures or ask him to repeat himself and in emails. He will answer your questions in a form of a riddle.

Comment:
He will not answer any questions. He speaks softly, mumbles, and trails off while talking. Grade: 65% quizzes, 10% hw, 25% final exam. He doesn't give enough time on quizzes so you have to rush. I relied on the textbook to teach me. His methods are easier than the book, but good luck writing coherent notes as he rushes through the lecture.

Comment:
This professor is one of the worst professors I've ever had. His lectures are boring but they're useful for quizzes, however, his syllabus doesn't even give us an idea about what to expect for the next class so the only thing useful is the grade weights and quiz dates. Emailing him is considered as a sin in his book.

Comment:
Kapoor's class is simplistic; there are quizzes every other week (when a WebAssign is due). Most of your grade comes from quizzes. You don't need to read the textbook; you can learn the content if you attend class and do the WebAssign. Attendance isn't mandatory. He is boring, but he does go over a lot of practice problems in class.

Well I had Dr. Kapoor many years ago, but loved his classes & would take whatever he was teaching. He spoon fed the stuff - No need to "read" the textbook & who wants to read math textbooks? Not easy, but great. Go to class, take good notes, do the homework, study for the exams. I still have my notebooks so I can go back & re-learn to teach my kids

Most of the grades come from his 6 quizzes. Come to class, take notes, use the notes to do your HW. Before the quizzes make sure to study your notes and do some practice problems in the book as he takes those problems and put them on the quizzes. I failed my first 2 quizzes but decided to stick with the class and managed to pass.

As with any other math class at umbc, you will probably have to teach yourself. Sure Kapoor may not be the best professor but the class isnt bad as many seem to make of it. The quizzes and tests are similar in format to the lectures and online hw so as long as you are paying attention in class, taking notes and doing your hw this class is a breeze

As long as you attend lecture and pay attention, you will do well in this class. Prof. Kapoor gets a bad reputation from a large number of students, but I have noticed that these students also haven't been putting much effort into the course. Finite math has a lot of abstract concepts that require practice outside of class, so study outside of clas

Dr. Kapoor seriously was the best thing that has ever happened to me in a math class. It was a summer class so attendance was IMPORTANT. As a class (very small) we asked to do textbook hw instead of WebAssign, and he went with it. He gives you EVERYTHING you need to pass, just pay attention. If he sees you trying, he will move mountains for you.

Does nothing in class. Refuses to respond to emails. Tests dont match classwork. Answers must be done exactly as book examples or you get a 0. Blames students for low passing rate (class average is currently under 40%, only a few of us are passing in a group of 150) and refuses to listen to criticism. Honestly the worst professor I've ever had.

Comment:
I cannot believe he is teaching at a university like UMBC. He is nowhere near a qualified teacher. A teacher is someone, who loves to be asked questions when something is not clear to students. When you ask him a question, he will make you seem like you are the least clever person in the world. Old school boring lecture and not enough time on tests

I withdrew from the class and took the W. This professor is hard to understand and does not give you enough time for the quizzes, which are the majority of your grade. Bomb one and it is so hard to recover, emailed him about a question and got a rude response back. Take Finite Math over the winter or summer with another professor. Kapoor is bad.

His grader grades all of the quizzes, and takes off an unfair amount of points and is inconsistent. Kapoor is rude and doesn't care to answer questions or help students. No curve. 6 quizzes are the majority of your grade. Do the practice problems from the textbook to pass the quizzes. Short homeworks. Boring lectures.

Probably the most disrespectful and unforgiving professor I've ever had. Many instances of asking questions, and him interrupting midway through for him to just say "you need to study". No where near enough time on quizzes. Have had quizzes where I knew everything but there just wasn't enough time. Get ready for hell if you end up with him.
