Really excellent for signal processing. I was amazed at how much simpler he made the class, in comparison to other teachers that my fellow students had complained about.

Comment:

Overall, he is a great prof. He assigns one or two problem sets a week, but they are very helpful when studying for tests since he basically takes problems from the homework. He is usually pretty clear on the subjects he is teaching. He is always available to help. He also offers a lot of extra credit. Overall, he is a great prof and is recommended

Comment:

Dr. Doering is a very understanding, high-moral-valued man. I would gladly take any one of his classes again, he was helpful during a hard time this quarter. He makes a class about circles the most interesting it can be. He also knows what he is talking about, and is more than willing to assist a lot of people at one time.

Comment:

I love Doering as a person - pretty funny, and his random stories helped me stay focosed - but I felt his teaching left a bit to be desired. He did a poor job preparing us for the homework, and he really hung us out to dry with the labs, which were lengthy and confusing. Tests weren't too bad, and the format was nice (50 small questions, two hours)

Comment:

Decent teacher but expects you to do A LOT of work and self-teaching outside of class. You need to do the optional homework he assigns to do well on the mini exams. The projects he assigns and the material he teaches in class have nearly nothing to do with each other. Doesn't teach how to use the software for the projects. He is very monotone.

Doering is boring to listen to, and isn't always willing to help, but he knows the material.

He explains things well until it comes to Verilog and Xilinx. Completely useless in that respect. Mini-exams are cake.

Comment:

Perhaps my expectations were set too high, but I hated taking this class. He doesn't help much at all, except for with his stupid program, which only serves to keep students from familiarizing themselves with the actual program. It still requires its own unusual syntax, but its different from what you need in later classes.

Comment:

OK prof. He is very good at the textbook part of the course. However, the projects are ultimately very frustrating. He has you write in a syntax that he made up, with a program that is apparently supposed to help. It would have been fine, except he forgot to document and explain how to use it! Mini-Exams are hugely important, do the examples.

Comment:

Monotone and boring. Class workload is no big deal but the structure makes getting a good grade difficult. Mini exams (15 min once a week) count for 40% of your grade and are weighted too much in this class. Does NOT teach you how to use the software so mini projects can take way more time than you'd expect.

Comment:

It's a pretty easy class if you keep up with the stuff (which is not very hard to do). Make sure you do well on every mini-exam, they are crucial to the grade. The projects may be somewhat challenging, make sure you don't put them off at the last minute. Don't buy the book, share it, it's really expensive!

Comment:

A difficult class. Reading quizzes on Angel every day that are easy, but make up 5% of your grade. 10 min quizzes over the previous week's material are hard (you don't get enough time), plus they count as 40% of your grade. Doesn't teach verilog coding, but has tutorials online. A project every week with Spartan 3 boards. There are better options.

Most of the class was very easy but had a hard final project. Went too slow over some material. Doesn't always answer questions appropriately. Otherwise good.

Motivated teacher and is really good at explaining things but isn't good with examples. He doesn't teach to the homework or labs so you have to learn that stuff on your own. Also he is not in his office much.

Really great guy. Sometime monotone/boring, but he really knows his stuff and how to teach it. If you get a chance to take him before he heads back to Minnesota, DO IT!!
