Comment:
As a senior, let me explain his style. He is really relaxed and doesn't care about many things. He can announce a test for 2 days later, if you have labs, he doesn't even grade them. If you take all the tests and go to labs, you will pass the course. He doesnt take attendance or anything like that. He wont reply your emails and tell your grade

Excellent professor. Keep up with the work, which isn't much, and you shall have an A. If not an CET or EET major: Do not apply.

Comment:
Means is a great professor. Sometimes has sloppy handwriting but will clarify if you ask. Although he says to buy the book, it really isn't necessary unless you're struggling. Is more than willing to help you out if you ask. Reviews test material a TON before the test, so there's no excuse for a bad grade.

Professor Means is an excellent teacher. Although he can sometimes be dyslexic, he almost always catches his mistakes. If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask-he'll gladly spend time clarifying.

Comment:
Means is a fairly easy teacher. Although, he writes sloppy and sometimes doesn't clarify the lesson. He will kindly explain something if you need him to clear anything up. He gives you notes the class before the test that are nearly identical to the test.

Had Means for DC Circuits my first semester and Linear Devices this semester and he is great! He is clear and precise, and covers important material as well as puts things into perspective with real world examples! Sometimes he can be a little slow on returning tests but if you keep on him he'll get the done! A+ 5 out of 5

Took him for DC Circuits. Best choice ever. All tests and quizes are open notes and open book. He's confusing at times, but is willing to help whenever, easy labs, no homework, very very smart but sometimes will stump himself lol. Great teacher to take, I would take him for every class if I could. Very easy if you just take notes.

He is a very easy professor. I had this class as my 8 am class every mon wed and fri and i hardly got up for it and i still have an A in this class. If you like math you should do fine in this class. Although he has no idea what he is doing half of the time and you always have to correct him. He is pretty easy.

Means is the easiest prof at cal.. do the work he says and you'll get a good grade. Very flexible guy, you do bad on something and your not a slacker he wont let you fail. He comes to class late and leaves early.

all he did was talk about yellow brick roads and cats falling off buildings. Don't roam off the road or yer screwed. Make sure u put the erasers on top of the board. Classes are in average of 10 minutes long. If you like being taught by a baby go for this class.

if you already know the material then class is a breeze, if your knew to his material don't expect to learn much from the class, no organization, no notes, hard to understand and frequently gets sassy when you ask questions, although hes more than willing to help you if you need it

Mr. Means is the MAN! His classes were short and to the point, he's tough and fair. He'll explain it a dozen times or more if you ask. If you are a slacker he'll let you fail. He's cool for an old guy, and really easy to ask for help!

Had him for lab. He is hardly ever their; thus he does tend to bother you. As long as you do the work, and you come to lab, you get a good score.
