Asks students to buy books that he has authored. Depends heavily on graduate assistants and does not take classes on a regular basis.

Comment:
He is not very knowledgeable and gets upset when a student asks a question. He makes most of the students working under him repeat the same thesis with a different title. His explanation is very dull and lacks quality.

Comment:
Horrible. The only reason most students like him is because his whole class is based off copying the past exams onto the tests. You don't learn crap. The majority of my class said how much they liked him but they didn't know a thing about signals. Good teacher if you want a good grade and don't want to learn anything.

Class was very easy. His tests are basically identical every semester so try and find previous semesters and start studying from there. I attended class 6 times all semester and received an A.

He is very lazy. No exams, no quizzes, nothing to grade, he didn't come to class for an entire month, at the end he didn't even read student papers (the only thing he had to do!)

Conveyed material well, tests were fair. Homework was not long and pointless. His good teaching has now made him the Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department. How he's teaching graduate level, so good luck getting him again.
