Comment:

This guy is the meanest, most insulting professor I have ever come across. Thinks no end of himself and keeps making derogatory comments on students. I could think of a few 4 and 7 letter words but the comment would get deleted. Having said all of that, the course project was tough but helpful in getting a job so have to give him some props.

Comment:

Spends most time talking about his exp.with Hardware companies. (Intel,IBM etc. haha) Goes over most things in lecture. You will HAVE to read to get a good grade. Each chapter is about 200 pages, and you cover around 8 chap. You have to guess what to study. Apparently I guessed right getting the highest grade out of ~180 students. Good Luck.

Comment:

Incredibly incredibly rude. He talks down upon all his students.... Just because this man went to MIT and Carnegie Mellon doesn't mean he can interact with young people......but on a funny note, this man is covered in chalk after every lecture

Comment:

By far, the worst teacher I have ever experienced at Rutgers. Where does one begin? A rude, arrogant snob that couldn't teach even if his life depended on it. Yet, this pathetic exuse for a human being is somehow the graduate director of the ECE department. His existence merely exemplifies the dismal state of the Rutgers Engineering program.

Comment:

Horrible professor. Lot's of work to do this is class. Hwks take 6 hrs a week to do, his exams are hard. There were practicums (practical coding exams) for the first time this semester, they're not that bad as long as you do the hwk and you know the basics. You get 2 hrs to do them. TA"s are really good, but the prof sucks. Final was ok.

It's not all that bad, it is hard though. Safest thing to do is nod your head and keep asking questions, especially ones that let him talk about stuff having nothing to do with DSD. He loves it.

Getting A,B+ in VLSI and DSD is very simple. You just have to work very hard. WARNING ... If you get an A in his class you are sure to get a D or fail in rest of your classes.

Comment:

I hate to have to repeat this, this man is full of himself, and will not listen to a word you say. He is so insecure, and lacking of any sense. Do not try reasoning with this man, it will only backfire, simply agree to everything he says. All he does is say "you are not listening to me"

His lectures are good and informative, too bad it has nothing to do w/ hw/exams. Good for those who have a love of the subject, not for those who need spoonfeeding in school.

This is a very bad teacher to stay with!!! He doesn't know how to instruct his student to do research. Working with him is a painful experience. Stay away from him.
