Simply just doesn't give a ****, period. You can learn the material if you want to teach yourself, OR, ODU could get rid of this class and you could learn the same thing with a combo of 241, 446 and 443.... waste of my money.

He was one of the worst profs I have had. The entire class is taken from his powerpoint presentation. If you miss something, your screwed. The $152 book isn't a whole lot of help either.

Comment:
Hard class, but he teaches it well. I know a lot of people that struggled, but I also know they took advantage of his slack homework policy of "if you hand in a blank sheet of paper with your name on it, you get full credit". Study, do the homework, and listen to lectures and it should go by fine. Don't wait till the last minute for the project.

Comment:
I am not sure what he is suppose to be teaching. I am not sure he knows. Doesn't care too much about anything it seems. He is not a professor, only teaches Digital Design class, has a real job, so why does he care if you don't learn ****.

Uses power point notes with mistakes that have been there for years...and BRAGS about it! That doesnt help with studying, and he doesnt care about other group members doing nothing. Poor quality teacher all around.

He's using a former (very good) professor's notes, and is helpful when you show that you're trying to learn the material. He's teaching because ODU couldn't find anyone to take the job after the last guy left.

Boring lectures - underscored only by his lack of enthusiasm. Best advice: Teach yourself to learn it.

Does not care. He does the minimum to satisfy requirements. He will not address problems within the groups -yet expects full results when only one person has done ALL of the work.

Best professor in the ECE department. Lecture notes are well organized. Very helpfull, specially if you contact him by e-mail. Also ask a lot of questions in class. If you work hard for the project, you will better understand the material for the final.

Mistakes in his lecture notes perpetuate from semester to semester - for years! This guy is totally apathetic. Drones on and on without understanding the subject himself. Can't even recommend a book for the class!
