Comment:
I can definitely see why Professor Tippens is the ideal professor for Digital III. This is a course to be taken seriously and was definitely the most difficult course I have taken yet. It demands a plethora of time and effort throughout the entire semester. One thing to note is that he is very picky about two things: schematics and wire connectors.

The tests during the semester were a little tough but manageable. Also had a group project at the end. Would recommend.

Comment:
Tippens is a very tough Prof. He will make you work but at the end of the semester you'll come out of his class feeling like a real engineer. If you're serious about digital, embedded systems, and hardware, he's the Prof you want to take.

Comment:
Very hard class, but I don't think any other professor could teach it. Tippens loves the subject matter, and it shows in his lectures. The hardest part of this class is working together in your group, try your best to work well with your teammates. If you hate your teammates you will hate this class, and vise versa.

Comment:
Tippens is great. He is very kind and gets a bad rep because the class itself is hard. He is always willing to help if he is in his office or during lab time. He will suggest ideas or point you in the right direction, but he is there to help you learn, not spoon feed you. I learned so much in this class. He grades fairly and is very understanding

Good guy, can be helpful sometimes. But needs to move away from using the old 8051 micro controllers. He expects you to know the 8051, but fails to realize not everyone is native to the 8051. I normally use the Arduino becomes its easier to write code for than the 8051 and speeds up development.

He is not helpful at all. he thinks you should know coding and everything from D2. One of the worst professors I ever had, I would advise to stay away but sadly he is the only professor that teaches D3. SO good luck.

If you treat him and the subject with respect you'll find one of the best professors giving you the best academic experiences you'll ever have. Use him for inspiration not as an knowledge base for your problems. also.. take distributed MCs, VHDL, and systems engineering too for three times the fun.

Great professor. Challenging but not unreasonably so. Only negative is that he leaves labs unattended. If you have questions your must go find him in his office.

Good professor. Helpful with good sense of humor. Collects one problem from each homework. Tests are challenging but not unreasonably so.

He is a great teacher. Detail on the lecture, even better than read the book by yourself. Sometimes he did make some hard tests, but if you pay attention on his lecture then you will get a 100.

One of the best ECET professors, he let you do what ever you want for porjects. He will give a problem and let you determine how it should be solved! VERY helpful, but is not going to hold your hand! BEST Prof ever!

Great teacher. He turns you loose and lets you do what you want with your project without intereference. However, he does expect a lot out of the finished product!
