Professor Rajagopal provided a very good class in which the primary goal was to learn. Course material was broad but in depth enough to provide a solid understanding of topics covered.

Ther homeworks were well timed, and there was an essay at the end which could replace two homeworks. If you did this and all homeworks you could in effect drop your two lowest scores.

Exams were based around the homeworks and readings, and were very fair.

He was also very good about helping students who emailed him and setting up alternate hours to meet. Overall a very good class.
