Very clear, very precise. Concepts are not particularly difficult either. There's a bit of homework, but by no means is it too much.

Comment:

Very clear lectures and emphasizes material that will be on exams. Homework was short and similar to problems seen in lecture. Exam questions were taken from past years' tests (so just practice those, they are nearly identical). Test averages were mid 80's. Easy class, nice professor.

Very clear in lectures and exams are similar to previous ones. He doesn't curve, so if you're right on the cusp, he won't bump you, even if you come to him for office hours regularly.

Tests are exactly like previous years tests that he provides you with. Loves the material too. Interesting lectures. Decent amount of homework but is definitely do-able if you go to class & help sessions.

So far the most organized professor in WPI. Homework is really hard but it is worth doing. He provides five or more different practice exams which is so similar to what you would expect on an exam. Overall GREAT professor.

Comment:

Great class, great professor. An Easy A if you work hard. Highly recommended you skip ECE 2312 and go straight to 503. The material is very similar between the two. Check with your advisor first but it is a very feasible option to get grad credit and get a nice A in it. It is redundant to take 2312 and then have to take 503 later down the road.

Great professor, good class. His note method makes you pay attention (is good, unless you're really tired). Exams and homework are very fair.

Great advisor. Provides excellent and timely feedback on your MQP paper. Focuses most of his energy on the paper. Helps you write much better technical documents and present your project well. Also very good at finding ways you could improve your research. Great guy

Phenomenally helpful guy. Very professional but approachable at the same time. TRY TO GET CLANCY AS A PROFESSOR. ignore the whiners who couldn't make it through 2011 without handholding and blamed it on the professor.

Very good professor. One of my favorite in the EE department. If you have trouble with the Hw, go to the help sessions, the TA are also very helpful.

Comment:

Went to him for help and it took us a half hour a problem because of a simple mistake in calculation. Frustrating, but bearable. Until it happened again. And again. I wanted to strangle him. I found the solved sample tests the most helpful part of the class. Avoid.

Had to add my $.02 when I saw the green face next to Ted. I found this class straight forward and overall well above average. In all fairness, my lab partner did struggle. Lucky for her she had me as a partner (nyuck nyuck). God if he could only learn to draw an OR gate...
