Comment:

Solid prof and cool guy. At first lectures seemed confusing but reading the textbook definitely helps develop a solid understanding of the slides. Midterm was very unsurprising and consisted of material based on practice questions. Doing the assignments and practice questions will get you a good grade.

Comment:

If you attend every lecture, do the assignments, and review your notes/ old assignments you will get an easy A in this class for sure. It is a very difficult and abstract topic to teach, and in my opinion he did his best job to make it somewhat understandable. Utilize office hours for questions.

Comment:

Pretty good prof. Lab project has pretty much nothing to do with lectures. Midterm and final exam are open-book, and he told us exactly what type of questions would be on the tests. The assignment questions are taken from previous tests, so if you don't have any problems with the assignments, you should be good to go for the exams.

Comment:

I've had Dr. Rakhmatov for CENG 355 as well and he is hands down my favourite professor in the ECE department. I took ELEC 466 on a whim and got a whole new appreciation for the field. He sets appropriate expectations for his assignments, midterms, and final. The project was tough but a fantastic learning experience. More need to follow his lead!

Very good prof all around. No reason at all not to do well in his classes. Tests are based off worked examples. Very helpful when asking questions.

Midterm and final exams are similar to the assignment questions and the in class examples. The review classes are very helpful. Open book tests. Provides good powerpoint slides and resources.

Comment:

Organized and well structured lectures, though often boring. He likes to give a 5 minute break in 80 minute lectures. Open book tests were fair and based of assignments and in-class examples. The lab for the course seemed to be completely separate from the class and he had little knowledge or advice for it. Good prof, but tends to over-simplify.

Great prof. Very fair. Open book exams, but not too difficult. Interesting lectures. Good examples on board. Ask him about your midterm - he'll give you more marks, guaranteed.

He always assumes hard questions are trivial to understand. always using power points never done actual example in the class that could be similar to what would be coming in the midterm and final.

Comment:

well, very few courses give you a push to the industry , I believe SOC is one of them , I learned SystemC , many topics about System on Chip and the project was really challenging, but you need to practice - like any new language needs - and take it serious , the prof. was really helpful ..

Doesn't always explain in enough detail. Often thinks non-trivial problems are obvious.

Daler is always well-prepared for lectures and he really knows the material; he also makes these funny, sarcastic comments that make the class really worthwhile.
