Ganesh Sriram CHBE444 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/11/2025	Dr. Sriram is an extremely understanding and intelligent professor! In this class, he creates complex lessons with lots of parts to them (python, Aspen, desmos activities, etc.), but they all provide ample opportunity to learn the course material! He is also always available with lots of office hours every week. In chbe444, he posted a homework about every 2-3 weeks, had two midterms, and a final project. The two midterms were done on desmos, with some writing parts. He provided multiple practice exams prior to both midterms. The final project is challenging but he is holding an office hour every day of the last week of class and during finals week. Overall I am very grateful to have Dr. Sriram for this course (and CHBE101)!
Ganesh Sriram CHBE444 Expecting a B Anonymous 11/28/2020	Sriram is of another dimension. If you are not capable of committing 20+ hours a week to complete all the work he has set out for the class then you will suffer and there is nothing you can do about it. He tries very hard to organize the course in a unique method but it only serves to make finding anything pertinent annoying. Rather than find a more effective method to engage the class to ensure understanding every assignment is made unnecessarily complicated so you have to spend hours on end working through each assignment. Lectures cover the simplest of examples while assignments more based in reality are impossible as the class material is practically irrelevant. After many complaints about the strenuousness of the course, rather than reduce the complexity of everything, Dr. Sriram instead overhauled the course entirely so that the only consistent portions of the course were now gone and we had to adjust to an entire new structure half way through the semester. All of this is to say that while his heart is in the right place in trying to be a good teacher, every effort misses its target by a country mile and instead the class is simply punished week after week.
