The topic is pretty hard to grasp during lectures, but he is very helpful during his office hours. He's very approachable and willing to stay longer after class to help you understand anything with which you are having difficulty.

Comment:
Professor Stan has no understanding that people taking his courses are not masters of the subject and likes to take two weeks off where instead of a teacher, you listen to his powerpoints all class. He would attempt problems and then stare at the board for minutes before saying he couldn't show us. Weekly quizzes about any material "covered"

If you go to class and do the assigned work, you'll do well. He was also very helpful during office hours. His lectures made sense and helped me understand the material.

DLD is an easy concept, and should all in all be an enjoyable class for EE, CPE's considering what we're about to face. He takes the 'f' out of the 'fun class.'

Ah Dr. Stan, how you have forsaken me. Kind of reminds me of Dr. Nick Riviera from the Simpsons. Inflamable means flamable? What a country. Seriously though, this guy is tough, you gotta be into the material hardcore to do well. EE is a nightmare major that I'm glad I got out of.

Comment:
Professor Stan seems to assume that all of us are EE geniuses. Either that, or he has very high expectations of our ability to quickly grasp DLD concepts. The class material was difficult. His lectures covered easy topics, but his tests and quizes were very hard. The labs were fair, though.

Comment:
His tests and class are pointless. Avoid at all costs. He is the type of person that loves to harp on boolean algebra, KMaps, converting numbers from binary to decimal (by hand), and other unrelated minutia that computers normally do.

Stan did not teach the basics of circuit analysis well. I got a B, but I went into ECE 204 not knowing much of anything about circuits and was confused all semester.
