Comment:

Oh, man where do I start? Let's begin with: "WORST PROF EVER". Started charging us extra in order to motivate us. What a DUMB strategy. I stopped caring about the course, going to his classes. Completely useless. Would have done better if I had tried to learn everything from the book. Good he is gone!

Comment:

Emphasizes all the wrong accents when speaking, unable to understand. Horrible Professor, doesn't know what he's talking about. Often asked questions by students, but says, "We have to move on guys." without answering the question. A complete joke, useless, cannot teach.

Comment:

the class, what a torture. He actually cares and very willing to help, but he just can't both teach and help. So I don't know how to put it into words, just don't expect a high mark coming out from this class.

Comment:

I am pretty sure that the person who wrote that happy face comment on him must have been Nigim himself. The course was an absolute disaster in every aspect of the word. His board-writing skills are horrid. He picks a 2 inch by 2 inch corner on the board and writes about 6 equations along with waveforms.

Comment:

Bring Coffee ..Uses Powerpoint but presentation skills aren't that great. Great effort as a teacher, loves being practical and is helpful - won't fail anyone! Course material remains tough due to his poor teaching. Nice guy and will make class fun but be prepared to learn on ur own. Exams are so hard that the bell curve will need a bell curve.

Poor presentation. Notes do not correspond to the assigned homework and the assigned homework does not correspond to the exams.

Comment:

Insane man, has a crazy accent that makes me want to shoot myself. Would scream at us "COME ON GUYS" to answer questions at 8:30 lecture. Does not understand that we are not yet electrical engineers in first year.

Comment:

Tries to tell students to jump out the window, or hang themselves from the middle of campus instead of writing the midterms. Should probably see a shrink soon - he's slowly but surely going nuts.

Didn't know the material. Unclear, contradicts himself. I've heard he's not bad when he knows what he's talking about. Board work isn't very good.
