Comment:

His lecture notes are messy and full of typos. His lecture in class is confusing as he seems like to talk to himself and ignore if students can understand or not. He couldn't explain theories straightforward and clear.

Comment:

he has an accent, and his handwriting isn't the best. that said if you don't understand something, just ask him! he encourages this. I was initially put off by these things, but after a few weeks I realized he is always open to clarification. Awesome guy, very fair grader, wants his students to succeed.

ECE 4800. awesome professor with sound theoretical knowledge. His assignments, mid term and final totally make you understand what is happening and how the theory is applied in real life applications.

Comment:

ECE 5950 Parallel Computing. He knows the material well. Hes lectures are really fun to go to. Material requires deep understanding, but tests are not hard, and homework assignments are broad but not difficult. Highly recommended, especially with interest in multi-threadingprocessing, parallellizaion and modern large scale computing. CUDA includ

Comment:

Bojanczyk is probably one of the worst lecturers I have ever encountered. The classes are completely incoherent, with Bojanczyk simply reading off slides in a monotonous, sleep-inducing voice. The book is better than the professor, who has not really improved my understanding of the subject. Do not take this class unless your major requires it.

Comment:

I came into ECE 2300 with no experience in Digital Logic. This professor has not really improved my understanding of the material even from the very beginning of the course. I can't ever understand what he is saying. The prelims are absolutely nothing like any of the practice questions. insanely too much work in this course. Don't take it!!!

Comment:

Knows his stuff, but not good at conveying it. Lectures move very quickly and he's not clear in his lectures. Assumes prior comfort with math. Lectures were harder than the prelims. Labs were worthwhile -- they helped visualize the material in Matlab.

Comment:

Had him for engrd230+ece220. He is a good prof, hard to understand at times. Assignements help a lot. His exams are based on practice exams he posts. He is better for 230 than 220.

This guy can't teach for live. But his prelims were really easy, and they were exactly like his practice prelims. I got two A+ from him, so I guess I shouldn't complaint too much

Comment:

A great ECE professor. He has a very good grasp of the material, but might not explain it the best way. From my experience, the material comes to him with such ease that he expects to be trivial. Prelims are very similar to the practice problems that he gives.

Comment:

Probably one of the teachers who is most willing to help. He provides so much practice material for the exams, pretty much giving away the exam. If you study what he gives you, there's no reason why you shouldn't get a perfect score. Just don't hand in assignments late, and you'll be fine.

Comment:

After getting used to his accent and the speed of lecture, he's actually very good. This class is computational methods in ECE, which is his area of research, which is why this class is probably taught better than ECE 230. Nice guy too.

Comment:

His lectures were often unorganized and he had errors in his power point presentations that would surprise him. But he gave the impression of a jolly Russian Santa Claus meets Gorbachev. And you can't get mad at that no matter how painful the test.
