Very kind and wholesome, I never missed attendance because of that, even if I had no idea what was going on content wise. He is great at explaining the concepts and I am excited to take 463 next.Rate My Professors ↗

Dr. Nimunkar was a great professor. He makes it very clear what you have to do in order to do well in the class. Lecture attendance isn't mandatory but I recommend going bc he gets thru a lot of the hw in class. He really wants everyone to succeed and will help you understand any topic you may have trouble with. Exams are hard but not unreasonable.Rate My Professors ↗

Amit is my favorite professor that I've had. He cares deeply about all of his students and will know your name by the second week of class in a class of >100 students. He's also willing to help you understand any class content or project work- including helping you grasp concepts and learn, rather than just doing it for you. Great person.Rate My Professors ↗

Amit is probably my favorite professor. He'll know your name by the second week of class in a class of >100 people. He's extremely helpful for both help with classwork (and helping someone grasp content instead of just doing it for them) and with projects.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Nimunkar is very accessible and excited help other students and he helped make sure we understood all the aspects of the circuitry needed for our project and that we were on track during the Electronics part of the course.Rate My Professors ↗

Nimunkar truly cares about his students and is passionate about bioinstrumentation! I didn't think I'd enjoy this class but the hands-on labs and medical device applications really helped me gain interest in the material. There are a LOT of small assignments though (two homeworks/week, pre-labs, post labs) but they are all very straightforward.Rate My Professors ↗
