By signing below I support the motion to keep Dr. Ramesh Bhavsar as a professor at the University of Central Florida. Also by signing below I encourage the idea that if a professor is chosen by a set of students to teach for any given semester that the professor should be given the right to teach the entire course without being removed at the expense of the students.

The administration has acknowledged the volume of signatures and requested a formal meeting to discuss current faculty retention policies. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines our specific requirements for student access to chosen instructors. Expect an update regarding the outcome of these discussions once the meeting concludes.

Dr.Bhavsar is the first teach who got me engaged and interested in a subject matter as a scientist. His class became my favorite and he is incredibly sincere. He wants his students to succeed and will go over any questions willingly. I would love to take another class he teaches and I have recommended him to all of my peers!
I think saving Ramesh's job is part of the issue at least with how UCF may be handling it, granted i do not know UCF's position on all of this. More important is the fact that students PAY FOR a certain class with a certain teacher for a semester to learn the necessary material. If this does end up happening I would like to pursue receiving a refund based on I am not receiving what I expected and paid for through the services provided at UCF.
Not allowing Dr. Bhavsor to continue teaching sends a clear message to current students that UCF is not committed to providing a quality education and does not care about the welfare of its students.
Dr. Bhavsar is one of the few professors at UCF that actually seems passionate about teaching. He truly cares about his students and devotes most of his energy into making sure the material is covered thoroughly. I chose to take Thermo II with Dr. Bhavsar because I really liked his teaching style in Thermo I. It is extremely unfair to the students to interfere with their education by removing a professor from a course in the middle of a semester.
From my experience Dr.Bhavsar is an awesome professor,smart, and friendly as well because I had him for thermodynamics I. Based on that I chose him for thermodynamics II. I believe is not fair for the professor and the students to have such huge change like that. Having new professor in the middle of the semester will effect the student in such bad way.
This would be highly disruptive to remove a professor mid semester.
He is a kind man, with a good heart

Even though I don't like how he teaches I signed in to his class so I knew what I was getting in to and expectations for the class. Changing any professor in the middle of a semester is irresponsible. It will affect students directly. This is a already hard class where we passed for period of adaptation. Having another one is distracting and time consuming. Why the name of the professor is displayed at registration when the professor will be switched, not being in this case an emergency?
