Cancelled one 9:30am class at midnight the night before so the majority of the class didn't know and still showed up. Then cancelled a promised review lecture for a %10 test. Afterwards missed a class without notification. Next swapped lab weeks for all studentz without warning AFTER labs began. Has a good teaching style but is a terrible prof.

Comment:

This guy is the worst professor I have ever had in my entire undergrad career. He honestly makes the easiest concepts (like IV Characteristics) into next level Rocket Science. If his questions aren't answered his way, you don't get marks. I would say read the book and also watch his videos, the book will help you understand better than his videos.

Not his fault that a 5 unit course is somehow an online course, but his online lectures can be extremely uninformative at times.

Comment:

Avoid Him, poor professor, He takes simple concepts and makes them extremely complicated. He will only give you marks if you did the question his way, with his own rubric or you get 0 whether you're answer is right

Great Prof. He really cares about his students and the test questions are very straight forward as long as you've done sufficient practice. He has gotten easier so his exams are not as hard as the sample tests/exams he posts. Has a perfect understanding of material and an equally perfect way of conveying it to students. I'd def take again.

Comment:

Dr. Haddara is an excellent professor. I took 2EI5 online - I think he is one of the most passionate and caring profs that I have met. However, his tests are very difficult. The course concepts are integral to ECE so work hard in this course. Also, try your very best to not MSAF/defer/do an early/late write:his deferred tests/exams killer.

Great guy, really cares about students. Currently sitting in an exam review session he is personally holding at 7pm on a Saturday night just to help his students out . Tough tests. He expects you to grasp very complicated circuits quickly. Lectures are very helpful as he does many examples very clearly.

Excellent lectures that have all the information required for the exam. Very specific and provides enough details. Labs were not very straight forward but he is willing to help. Overall, the course (2EI5) was great and I'd love to have him as my prof again!

Dr. Haddara is an amazing addition to McMaster. He is passionate about this course and it really shows through the effort he put into the online lectures, a format I'd like to see for other classes. However, he is actually one professor I'd love to have in a live class format. Dedicated to his students. Thanks Haddara for a great semester.

Made this course online in 2015, made it a joke almost. Exams much easier than previous years. Great teacher though, explains material very well.
