Overall, a good professor. His midterm and final were very fair, and his review sessions are helpful. He provides good examples in class, and is pretty clear about what is and isn't testable. Do the homework, go to most classes, and you should do well. I don't care for the subject, but he made it slightly more bearable.

Very, helpful in office hours. The course is difficult but if you actually do his homework and ask questions the class is very rewarding.

Just shows up and reads slides from the textbook as fast as he can then goes home. Even if something is not clear or even incorrect he just powers on. What do you expect? This is electrical engineering at Uvic, you should be used to this by now.

Awesome professor. Good guy all around. I enjoyed his class. Dr. Agathoklis motivated me to pursue mechatronics and controls engineering as a specialization and post graduate career.

Comment:

Often assumes that students know things they may not(particularly if you are a software engineering student) which can make lectures confusing. This knowledge is not required for assignments and tests though. Overall, fairly effective

Great prof and great course. Really spurred my interest in controls. Make sure to attend class and pay close attention, what he actually says in class is golden.

Very nice prof. I like his course and him very much. Students won't have too much pressure on them. Shortcoming perhaps: not too well prepared for lectures and notes as other profs did. Though an disadvantage, I prefer somebody enjoying life.

Comment:

When I went into this class, i was expecting to learn a lot of practical and applicable stuff from the class. However, much emphasis was placed on the theory rather than its application. That made the course less interesting and hard as well. My grade speaks for itself. Wish I had not taken it.

THE best teacher I have ever had in my academic life. He deserved to be a candidate for 'Teaching Exellence' award or a Nobel prize in engineering.

Comment:

Very good prof. Gives useful, concrete examples, and derivations which are helpful but (usually) not too overly drawn-out. Exams can be tricky, but if you know the material, *study his examples* and look at practice exams, A+'s are possible.

One and the only prof that explains 'why we are doing this' rather than 'how we do this' -- excellent professor, one of the best

Comment:

Displays no concern that students understood the material, but sped through illegible overhead transparencies of photocopies of old notes, then asks questions on the exam on topics never emphasized in class. Exams consist of old photocopied questions.
