Best Prof. ever! I know he receives polar opposite rates, but he IS a great professor. I've learn lots in his class and actually found it useful now that I graduated and working in the computer science field.

Comment:

His lectures were all slides that he took directly from the textbook manufacturer (unmodified!), he wasn't able to explain the slides when students asked deeper questions, he gave only multiple-choice assignments, & the labs were extremely tedious and pointless. Absolutely the worst course I've ever taken; this guy didn't know the course material.

Shows salient effort and care in teaching the students well. Prepared for lectures and organizede. No textbook, only his thorough notes. Unfortunately his explanations were not very clear to me.

He can't teach and it is an awful class to begin with. Friendly guy but the class is awful with pointless lab reports that require all nighters.

Best class I've taken in ECE. The course covers a lot of material which is relevant for anyone who is going into the semiconductor industry. Exams are hard, but fair.

He is a great professor, but his exams were really hard. He did his best with a crappy course in general. His class was very helpful for those going into the computer engineering industry.

Honestly, this was probably the worst ECE class ever. I would've been far better off skipping class and just reading the book. His lectures were a completely disorganized and confusing.

Focuses on theory more than equations. Great professor, learned a lot in his class - but he is pretty tough.
