Comment:

Not sure what his deal is this semester, but he made class so much harder than it has been. Take Lunardi since she's very nice and reasonable with what she tests you on. His review materials had to do nothing with the test. He's also extremely rude.

Comment:

I would avoid this teacher like the plague, he does not cover what will be on the tests and will throw curve balls at you. He is very rude when you go to him for help after class. You are better off taking another teacher.

Comment:

Dr. Townshend is hands down the best 200 teacher available. He is funny and if you take him you won't regret it. Hard subjects at first but you catch on after a little while. Study hard and actually do the homework. You can get an A if you try. I do however think ECE 200 is a weedout class. Don't just shrug it off.

Comment:

This is the third class I have taken with Dr. Townsend and he has consistently been one of the best professors. 402 is much tougher than his other classes, and while attendance isn't taken there are quizzes. Quizzes are announced about a week in advance. No graded homework. His lectures are fantastic, pay attention , take notes and you'll do well.

Comment:

Dr. Townsend is a great lecturer. He works through a lot of examples in class and is willing to take any question. He loves to make jokes in class and keeps things interesting. The material is pretty difficult, but if you follow the examples, do the homework, and ask questions when you need to, you can get an A easily.

Comment:

I really enjoyed Dr. Townsend's course. There are a lot of resources on his class page to help students out. The homework can be very challenging, so I would suggest making friends as soon as the class starts! Dr. Townsend is a very fair grader and good lecturer. He also tells really stupid cheesy jokes that I'm sure his family is sick of.

Comment:

Keith is a funny guy. He really knows how to get the info across. He taught 211 in the summer and kicked ass. Because of it, i am taking 402 in the spring. He is the kind of teacher that makes the worst subjects worth attending.
