Comment:
He is one of the best professors I ever met. His class is interesting and he'll make sure you understand completely and his TA also very nice, and explain problems specifically. He is the nice and approachable person also. ECSE351 is pretty difficult but he is the very good prof. I would like to say Dennis is the ANGEL IN MY LIFE.

One of the best professors i have ever come across. He really is a gem of a person. He makes sure that the course he is teaching has enough supporting material to cater to the students needs and always makes sure everything in and out of class is perfect. His TA's are super helpful. He himself is easily approachable. Extends deadlines if asked also

Very good lecturer and professor, and a really nice guy. His midterm is hard but he keeps giving hints and tells you what the worked problems are. His notes are really good as well. There should be more professors like him.

Nice prof who really wants to help you. But EMF is a tough. The midterm was really hard and so was the final. He ended up curving but a LOT though. Not the most entertaining prof but he tells you exactly what the worked problems are going to be.

Good prof, you can tell he really cares about his students. The midterm was the same as a previous one, and you can figure out which assignment questions he's going to put on the final from the hints he gives in class. The multiple choice section of the final was brutal though.

When taking courses that are difficult, it is nice to have a seasoned lecturer who tries to help students whenever he can. Wish there were more professors like him.

Made the course pretty hard, but he's a nice prof. Needs to keep check of TA's and graders though, they marked us completely randomly and were pretty unhelpful throughout the course

Freaking hard class. I though EML was easy since it's also a 2 cred course. The second test which was written in class was extremely tricky. Labs are graded really randomly. You should definitely go and talk to the grader about them if you want to get a decent grade.

lets see electromagnetic fields at 8:35am...First of all i need to congratulate him for keeping me awake, something most eng profs wouldn't be able to. Second: overall good prof, goes slow at the beginning but runs like the devil towards the end :S. If you can take EMF with him, you'll have higher chances of actually understanding whats going on!

he's one of the few ECE prof's that care about their students. Overall he made a hard course, an easy one, as he really helps you with the handouts and the assignments. He made up for the useless TA's in this class...

Make sure you go to class...no, not to listen, but to get the hand outs. The entire solution for his assignments are on the class hand outs, so you have to attend his class. Too nice a guy to just walk out after getting the notes though, but atleast you don't need a pillow

Extraordinary prof. He will give hard midterms and final but he gives such a huge amount of hints about what'll be on them it's not too bad. You _learn_ from him! Knows it inside out, brilliant, and a human being as well.

This guy is great! He's one of the few professors in the department that knows how to communicate effectively. The difficulty of his exams is unpredictable, though...

Excellent pacing and good speaker. I always hate profs who try to cram in a dozen slides five minutes after the class has officially ended. The G is really good at answering questions, and makes it easy to understand the material. Midterms was still crazy hard. No wonder he's EXCESS prof of year
