Comment:

Avoid this professor. I agree with the previous post with Keyhani and 700 level classes. I learned nothing in his 400 and 500 level classes, and skated with A's. His 700 level classes are poorly taught, poorly supported and have horrible exams.

WORST professor I have ever had. This man is truly incapable of teaching, period. It is nearly impossible for him to transmit a complete and sound thought to a classroom of people or even to just one person. I have no idea how/why this man has a job at OSU.

Comment:

Easily the worst professor I have encountered at Ohio State (including Dynin in the math dept.). Lectures are incomprehensible and often simply wrong. Also claims the book is wrong when it often is not. Very inflexible with exam conflicts yet does not follow his own syllabus; our MWF class was 7 lectures behind schedule by the end of the quarter.

Comment:

The WORST prof I ever had. He thinks that he is so great and every single student in his class is stupid. However, being a Electrical Eng. professor, he has the least idea how to write on a projector or use computers to show slides--he has to ask the TA everything! He could NEVER explain things clearly and his writing is so nasty. I LEARN NOTHING!

Comment:

Worst professor in the ECE department. Completely hated his teaching. I learned nothing. Absolutely nothing. Dont even bother listening to anything he says in lecture. You are better off trying to find your way through the book. This guy has no idea how to teach and shouldve been canned a long time ago. Take his class and you will see what i mean

His lectures can be funny at times, which made his lectures tolerable, but I didnt learn anything. I hate to say it because I like the guy, but he is one of the worst teachers I have had. Watch out for the quiz on the first Friday of class!

doesn't care about teaching, just wants people to like him (esp. girls), so it's so easy, but you won't learn anything. Very creepy, shouldn't be teaching.

Comment:

He moves through material fast and bad handwriting. However, he tries to tell students to let him know when you can't read it. You come out of the class with knowledge if you do a little studying on your own.

Comment:

The problem with this guy is his lectures: they suck. The material for this class is ridiculously easy but his speeches are so convoluted you will learn nothing from him. Nothing. The good news? The book ain't bad and he posts detailed solutions for all homework at the start of the quarter. Oh yeah easy quizzes (read: exams) also.

Comment:

This professor gives scattered, barely intelligible lectures sprinkled with random information about his research projects. He actually said to me, when asked for help on a homework problem, "Don't worry about it, I won't grade that one." Yuck.

Comment:

He moves through materials too briefly but is very experienced and knowledgable with real world applications used as examples. Overall a good professor but one must do plenty of self studying to keep up with the lecture materials.

Here's a quote from him during class after he was asked a question: "Know by simply knowing." I didn't learn anything but I still got an A-
