<p>Anyone take Chanmugathas for 14C over the summer? I'm taking him/her during the fall quarter (ugh, how could I miss my first pass!?). Anyone care to give a difficulty rating? Ability to teach? Tips to succeed in the class?</p>
<p>Or, you can scout out the registrar's site daily for people who've dropped. Me and my gf got into hardinger's section this way over the past week.</p>
<p>i had him for the summer. lectures can be a drag because he lectures right out of the book. tests are very fair. i compared his tests with hardinger's tests and they are not as difficult as hardinger's. he has a really thick accent, but its not a problem after the first week of lecture. i did well in the class, but it wasnt fun</p>
<p>now well, as in an A or what...?</p>
<p>What does it matter to you? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>look ma'am, im tryin to do well (A's) at UCLA. therefore i am inquiring about it. now is that too much to ask???</p>
<p>i can tell you a lot about certain professors, but ultimately, it comes down to self-discipline</p>
<p>if you really must know, you can pm me</p>
<p>Update: I was actually able to get into Hardinger's class. But now I wonder if I should stick with him or go with the new guy :P
Apparently, Hardinger is "arrogant and pompous," etc. (per bruinwalk, of course). Does Chanmugathas curve, or use the adjusted straight scale like Hardinger?</p>
<p>on the syllabus he gave us it had the straight scale, but when i got my grade i found out it didnt exactly follow the straight scale. i dont know what to tell you</p>
<p>I didn't realize that questioning a person's GPA was a method for gauging how to "do well (A's) at UCLA."</p>
<p>I actually am taking the new guy's class now. I have friends in Hardinger's class and the Chanmugathas prof is WAAAAAY better. He's lecture style is more traditional but I can actually understand this guy! He really knows his stuff and can make this stuff actually make sense!</p>
<p>I actually switched to Chatamugathas's class, because the tests are easier (according to a friend who took him over the summer). </p>
<p>Lecture wise, I think both are the same, but Chatamugathas is much more approachable in OH.</p>
<p>Hardinger is not that hard. If you just do the CFQ's, PP's, and past exams (frget about the owls-they're a waste of time) you will get an A-.</p>
