Comment:

Only consider taking if you already know programming and don't actually need to learn anything. Somehow manages to teach a lot about phones, computers, and calculators, and very little about programming.

Comment:

Appears to be absentminded because he shows up late and diverges a lot, but if you make the effort to pay attention, you will learn a lot (I admit, not always relevant to the class but still). Can be kind of boring, but he does teach a lot of material and he is always willing to help. Pretty easy grader as long as you do the work.

Comment:

Doesn't come on time (if at all), doesn't even remotely plan or organize his classes, doesn't stay on topic, doesn't teach, doesn't motivate his students, doesn't care. Truly he is very knowledgeable in his field, but that is no excuse for running his classes the way he does. By far the worst prof. I have encountered at Cooper.

Comment:

One of few professors that teach what is simple and practical, as opposed to complex and theoretical. He is very intelligent and is a good teacher. He is not difficult but knows who is pulls their own load and grades fairly.

Comment:

Lecture consists of 60's soap reminiscences. Never in for office hours, yet throws out junk from office in cart every week...is that where lab reports (that he never grades!) go? Turned freshman EID class into EE junior lab and vice versa. Brings full bottle every class, only drinks half. Needs tighter belt so he doesn't get called "UNCLE STU".

are you currently taking, or planning to take his class as a minor interest? then go right ahead. If not, consider taking another, more rigorous course. Nice, brilliant guy, just not committed enough.

Comment:

Comes in average 15-20 mins late to class. Lets out class early 10-15 mins on average. Gives 2 breaks of average 15 mins. A 3 hour class has become a 2 hour class. Very lax and funny.

Comment:

He knows his stuff but his students don't. Try to get him to look at your ckt - sometimes he can fix it in a jiffy. Before taking his advice double check your work, consult the book, ask Hak, and double check your work again.
