Students' Feedback:
"Rahul was one of the greatest teachers I have had as a college student, or any student for that matter. He was able to foster an environment where everyone had fun and enjoyed the topic at hand. He would crack jokes, spend lots of time in office hours, add additional help problem sets. Anything he did was for the betterment of us as students and peers."
"The instructor was truly fantastic -- he made the classroom environment so fun, engaging and just overall amazing. i can't sing his praises enough and I am going to miss his class."
"I love Rahul SO SO SO MUCH! He was awesome. I'm seriously going to miss him so much. He cared so much about his students and really wanted us to excel. It meant so much that he took so much of our feedback and implemented it."
"Dr. Roy was very authentic and relatable, which the whole class appreciated. He has a great sense of humor, which made his lectures so much more engaging and enjoyable. He also made himself very accessible outside of class."
"Rahul Roy was excellent! One of my favorite people to ever teach a class. He was kind, enthusiastic, and cared about everyone. I will miss him, and I hope he is able to foster that same diverse and inclusive classroom environment in Madrid if he teaches there!"
"He was great! He talked to everyone, supported everyone, and called on everyone."
"Rahul was one of the most dedicated professors I've ever had and never failed to offer help or try to engage students."
"Rahul cares a lot about the students and about our understanding of the content and how it applies in the actual business world."
"I think Rahul Roy is an incredible professor... I can't imagine a better professor for the course -- I am just disappointed that he will be leaving for Madrid (good luck in Spain, Rahul!)."
"I have never had a better professor. I wish every class I take could be taught by Rahul Roy."
"PROFESSOR and DOCTOR Rahul Roy is the G.O.A.T. and the best instructor I have had during my time at UNC by far."
"Rahul was my kindest professor this semester and truly cared about his students. He helped students out when they felt overwhelmed or needed extra assistance and ensured each of us was doing well academically and mentally. He made a point to learn all of our names and made the classroom an enjoyable environment... This class was amazing and most of that is due to Rahul's excellent teaching skills and compassionate personality."
"The professor created a very welcoming and supportive classroom environment... I was especially impressed by how he remembered students’ names and showed genuine interest in each student. It was clear that he cared about students not only academically but also personally and was always willing to listen and support them..."
"I could tell Rahul cared about each of us, especially from learning everyone's names. I think that was a good way to make each person feel wanted and noticed in the class. I also felt like he really did want each of us to succeed and earn good grades, rather than following the bell curve distribution, which I felt really reflected his strong character."
"Professor Rahul did a great job fostering a diverse and inclusive classroom environment. He treated everyone with respect and was always willing to help students with any questions... He showed genuine care for each student and even knew all of us by name, which was very impressive... By far, he is one of the best professors I’ve had at UNC!"
"It's clear when a professor is comfortable being themselves in front of a class, which allows students to feel more comfortable. This was very true for Rahul Roy, who maintained his personality and humor even when facing a pretty non-responsive and quiet class. I always felt like he genuinely cared about our well-being..."
"The instructor was kind, professional, and delivered the material in a way that showed the logical steps needed to get to our answer AND showed us why it was important in the real world. Rahul is awesome."
"Rahul is the type of professor whose classes will fill up very quickly in the future as he has built a reputation for caring deeply about his students. He is fabulous! I feel very lucky to have had him as my 403 professor... He is already one of Kenan Flagler's best!"
"Rahul was one of the best, if not the best, professor that I have had at UNC. He was EXTREMELY accommodating and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we understand the material... Rahul truly cares about his students and, in turn, I was always more eager to learn the material..."
