Comment:

He designed a "hybrid" course in which his primary method of teaching was pre-recorded online lecture videos. Unfortunately, these videos were riddled with mistakes and offered little to no useful explanation. He re-iterated definitions and equations with the same level of detail and enthusiasm that "siri" would. No coherency, no context.

Comment:

Gazor's problem is a basic one, he can't teach. Although the department didn't make it easy on him making him teach through online videos. Unfortunately, he seems like he cares but that isn't translated through his tests. He can't clearly communicate his thoughts, which inherently leaves the class dumbfounded. This course is all self-learning.

Comment:

Unclear lecture material, doesn't do samples in a way students understand, handwriting is illegible, and notes from his classes are always disorganized. Unfortunately I've been in 2 of his classes in one semester and both were mandatory.

Comment:

This guy is all over the place. This course was taken online, and it really showed that the professor had no idea how to make good, clear videos. Sometimes the videos posted were in the incorrect order, resulting in a bit of confusion, and sometimes they were just repeats from a few weeks ago. Don't even get me started on that mess of a final

Comment:

He is very smart professor and he cares much about understanding the material. If you go to his office he will spends hours in explanation. Moreover, he is forgiving in grading the exam since his questions are filled with tricks. I love his teaching style.

Comment:

Horrible professor - midterm had a 40% average because he taught us nothing, then he blamed us for not studying enough. This course was supposed to give me a fundamental understanding of circuit analysis and I'm doomed for future circuits courses because I didn't get it in this class. Also can barely speak English and notes are riddled with errors.

Extremely nice and intelligent person. PDF notes for course are really well organized and complement lectures very nicely. Challenge him to a game of chess and if you win he claims you can name your mark in the course!!!

Regardless of the difficulty of the course material, if you are willing to put in effort and show him that you have; he will help you equally. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS ALWAYS. ;)

He's kind and willing to help you if you ask for it. Tests are fair although he tries to scare you at the beginning of the course.

Comment:

he functions at a very very high level in comparison to the understanding of his students.i actually like stats/probability before taking this course, but after this i'll try to keep away as much as possible. i think among all the hardship the only silver lining is that he is quite a lenient marker. used to get 85% for writing god knows what....

Comment:

nice prof, but hes a nut. his lectures have absolutley no continuity to them and he is very difficult to follow and understand. to say the textbook was a lifesaver is an understatement. also it seems the only reason he is nice to kids and is willing to listen is bc he will do anything to ensure his reputation is not soiled.
