Comment:

Dr.Boston is a really good professor. He is getting up there in age so if you get a chance to have a class with him I would recommend doing it now. I had him for signals lab and he kinda diverges at the end from frequency response and fourier analysis to real-time data acquisition and processing. His tests aren't too hard and he knows his stuff.

Comment:

I don't understand why people say he is a bad lecturer. I thought he was crystal clear. Overall prof Boston is one of those old school engineers who you can learn a lot from. So listen to him. Take his advice. He really knows his stuff and is extremely nice and helpful and appreciates it when people are interested in the material. Good professor.

Comment:

He was alright, exams were fair and not straight from the homeworks. As long as you understand the material starting at the beginning it shouldn't be much trouble. He is quite helpful outside of class as well. Overall he wasn't bad, would take again.

I thought he was a great professor. His lectures were very clear and his notes were useful. He also gave helpful practice exams and generally stated what material would be on the tests.
