BSE 365
Quality 1/5Difficulty 2/5
For BSE 310, he would read off slides and not really explain how to do anything. You will struggle with the excel functions because he does not explain them at all. Take business Econ if you can. The homework and exams are really difficult.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
Professor Gunasakaran is extremely smart but this class is not well defined. It is hard to take an exam full of all computational problems when only conceptual ideas were covered in class. With that being said, it is an engineering course so the computational part was extremely applicable.

BSE 365
Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
BSE 365 is a really hard class, and Prof. Guna isn't very lenient with the curve. He likes to call on people that don't have their hand raised. That said, it's obvious he's extremely knowledgeable about the course material.
