Comment:

Had bad expections going into this class, but prof. turned out to be pretty good. Always willing to help, kinda a harsh grader but curves very well at the end. Ask lots of questions and go to see him after class and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. Don't bother asking him for help or explainations - he'll treat you like crap and even address you as a "retard" or "management material." Grades unreasonably harshly (4 out of 40 for a sign error and rounding to 5 instead of 6 decimal places), barely teaches and doesn't suggest useful homework... even when asked.

Comment:

This class was extremely hard, but I learned a lot. He did problems that were real world, and would explain anything. Take him if your willing to learn and ask lots of questions. Test are ungodly hard, but at least after the fact you will know how to do it

Definitely an easy A, but not so useful if you want to actually understand what is going on. Very unclear and unconcerned with important details.

Comment:

This prof is very unclear and very hard to understand won't understand anything but you'll get a good grade. Lowest scores he gives out on labs are 8/10 =]. Take this prof if you're looking for an easy A because in the end he'll give you a 90+.

Comment:

Worst prof ever. Any tiny error, such as a minus sign, will get you a grade of 45% on a quiz or test. Now for some McLaughlin quotes: "Now crew", "Thats just daft", "Lord love a duck".

Comment:

Worst lab prof in the history of "GMI, or whatver it is called now." He acts insulted if you ask a question, then will give you a vague answer. Won't clarify things at all. If you have a problem, go see Miller or Foster. Miller helped me when I needed it. Overall, just avoid him. Did you notice his sweater and shirt had a hole in the same spot?

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. Skips over too much information because he just expects you to konw it all already. Hard to follow. Ineffective teaching style. Rips you a new one with his exams. Basically, he's the Vaishanava of the EE department. Avoid at all costs!

Comment:

This guy sucks as a lba prof. He won't help you if your life depended on it. He just likes to kick back and sit in his chair while we all struggle to finish his labs. Then when it comes time to check them, he complains that he has to wal 20 feet. Oh yeah, he needs to buy a new sweater, his is gross.

For starters, he needs to get a new outfit to wear. The old gray sweater is about to disintegrate. Also needs to remove Kaiser's nose from his backside (to a gentleman and a scholar)!He will tear all lab reports to shreads.

He is a good professor. You will probably not get the grades on exams that you expect, but they don't mean muych anyway. Most of your grade is from the final.
