Comment:
Seems like a nice guy but not a very good teacher. Lectures only had the basics and you are left clueless on the homework. The practice tests are always way easier than the real tests. I don't plan on taking another class with this teacher.

Comment:
Lectures were writing proofs on the board almost all the time, never really showed practical ways to solve a problem or give an understanding of how the circuits worked. Taking DiffEqs at the same time is no help, the timing is so that you're tested on stuff 1 week before you learn it in DiffEqs

This guy seemed like a good prof. I only went to the first 2 weeks of this class because this material was so easy. HW was a little tricky but his tests were very fair. Do the HW, read the book and do the sample tests and you will be fine.

Great Professor - did an excellent job. His exams are the fairest ece exams I took. Do your homework, go to class and you'll do just fine. He is very good when if comes to hw help during office hours etc. Overall, a great course and a great prof.

Unclear professor who had trouble explaining things and doing problems correctly. Not the worst professor you'll ever have, but definitely not the best.

Comment:
Not sure when other kids had him, but when I had him I felt that the tests were a very fair measure of the material covered in class and on the homeworks. I'd say he's a good professor.

Comment:
I didn't even use his lectures for the tests, they were useless. He would switch around/add voltage and current sources on tests which he never went over in class. Nice guy, gave extra help but poor lectures + harsh grading = failing atleast 40% of class

Not a very good teacher. Poor lectures that had almos no bearing on homework problems. Ended up teaching most of the material to myself. TA's provided absolute minimum for extra help.

I'm fairly sure that I would have been able to pull off a B if I had been given the tests and told and told the reading, but it is very hard to go between the book's way and the teacher's way. Unfortunately, I picked the teacher's way. Let it snow.

Comment:
Worthless. Basically copies stuff from the papers on his desk to the board while waving his hands. Occasionally looks at class and smiles. Body language is entertaining, but not worth the inconsistency between lecture material and graded work.

Comment:
He is very confusing. The tests are the homeworks but with something added in that wasn't on the homework. He doesn't pay attention that much to the class. People have to yell in order to ask a question. This is diff eqs EE style (not good).

Hard class so early on. Lots of math. He did a pretty good job with it. I wasn't too into it and glad I (barely) passed.
