Very useful and powerful knowledge in fundamental telecommunication. I got a deserved job offer after graduating from my MS degree, and this course is one of my nightmare courses in my school.

Comment:

Teaches very difficult classes (Crypto and EE) but is able to get the students to understand through experience. He wrote the book that he teaches with, and so the lesson plans, homeworks, and slides are all lined up neatly. My favorite teacher at the graduate level.

Very Helpful even if you are not taking his class. Lectures are well arranged. Teaches from book written by himself. Homeworks are tough though but at the end you learn a lot.

Comment:

Never prepared for class and admitted to never having read the text. Most common answer to students' questions: "I don't know." The worst instructor I have ever had!
