Comment:

Delchamps is really a great professor and you should really try to take a class with him (especially 3250), but his organization of 4250 was a bit messy. We had 2 problem sets the whole semester which made it very difficult to learn the material otherwise. Project for the course was a lot of fun.

One of the most caring and kind professors at Cornell. Lectures always designed to reflect the class's level of understanding of the material. Answers emails and Piazza questions very quickly. Exams are challenging, but studying past exams is extremely helpful and will guarantee that you will do well.

Homework and exam require techniques that are not straightforward from what was taught in class. One must have a creativity and strong background in linear algebra.

THanks to Professor Delchamps all my other clases for my MEng came so simple. If there is a class I can remember as memorable, this is the one. How could he simply get to the blackboard and deliver his class without notes just blew my mind. When we had questions he answered in a simple way easy to understand. Thanks Prof Delchamps.

Comment:

I took his class 24 years ago and his course remains the most important engineering course in my career as a surgeon and co-inventor of Rebiscan. The overall concepts of input / output systems was delivered second to none. It was that beer he bought for me at the Palms and told me to seek advanced degrees that changed my life.

Probably the greatest professor I've had at Cornell, highly recommend both him and the course (ENGRI 126) to anyone interested (or not interested, it was that good!) in any kind of electrical engineering or computer science or communications in general.

This is the third semester that I've had Professor Delchamps. His style is the best I've had at Cornell. He always gives a lot of examples and he makes the topics very easy to understand - as long as you can keep up in the notetaking and listening (which

the most helpful professor i've ever known. this ECE course that i took from him however was not related in any way to ECE, and seemed to stray a bit from the topic of the course. He likes math.

Class notes extremely organized and puts all the information you need on the black board with super-fast chalk writing, exams based on homework, if you do well on homework you'll do well in the class.

Took in SP02 when lab separate. funny guy who tries his best. emphasizes math, NOT concepts. at end of course, knew how to do useless math but knew jack about circuits. hated it for that reason. but this class made me physics instead of ECE so thx dude.

He is very clear- he goes though alot of examples very quickly and clearly. It may seem tedious at times, but there is never a dull moment and you learn alot. He puts alot of work into helping students and that is great.
