Comment:

Dr. Marcellin went out of his way to help us. Questions on the message board were answered quickly and in some cases he made PDFs or even videos to answer the questions. The course has A LOT of material but if you stay on top of the lectures and do the homework assignments you will be fine. Grades were scaled and test were reasonable.

Dr. Marcellin is amazing! He demonstrates clear mastery of the material and explains it exceptionally well. He even offers additionally study sessions before tests! 220 is understandably a lot of work, because the material is tough. Don't miss class and don't miss out on his study sessions! An A requires hard work, but he wants you to get it.

One of the best professors I have had. His lectures are great, He is willing to help you if you don't understand, he enjoys teaching and doesn't give excessive online homework. He makes the class easy and gives lots of chances by curving the class dropping a test and giving extra credit. Even though he makes the class easy you will learn a lot.

Comment:

Dr. Marcellin is one of the best professors I've ever had at the University of Arizona. I highly encourage anyone who is in SIE or outside of ECE to take him because ECE 220 can be taken instead of some other courses that might not have as great of a professor. It may be 5 credit course but it is 100% worth it as long as you're committed to learning

Comment:

ECE503. There was a lot of material and topics to cover for just one semester. It seemed a little rushed. The class is pure mathematics with very little context for engineering applications. You will probably spend more time on this class than any other upper level course. Homework was long/tedious. Tests were not bad. Grading was generous.

Easily the best professor I've had here. He legitimately wants all his students to get As and gives ample resources to help them get there. His lectures are engaging, he has great humorous stories, and he holds extra optional lectures to help students review for his exams. A+

He is the best professor I've ever had. He cares very much about the success of his students. His lectures are fantastic, and every one was worth it. ECE 220 is a lot of work, but Professor Marcellin made a subject that I previously found difficult into something very manageable.

Comment:

Dr. Marcellin's ECE220 is easily the best ECE class I've taken. The guy cares about his students' success, and genuinely wants everyone to do well. The midterm exams are tricky but fair. The final exam is excruciating, but you can expect a class-wide grade boost afterwards. Quizzes are given at random, so go to class! 85% gets you an A.

Comment:

Basic Circuits is naturally very dry and dull in my opinion, but Marcellin is a fantastic, enjoyable teacher. You'll come to love story time, and his explanations are clear and precise. It's an easy course if you get the fundamentals and practice. He posts lots of old tests--USE THEM! They're basically the same.

Comment:

Incredible professor!His tests are very comprehensive and you need to attend all review sessions and complete all of the practice exams. Watch out for his lab requirement, since missing a single lab report can easily cost you 20% of your final course grade. If you do the work, you should get an A, however!

Professor Marcellin was nothing short of excellent, and I wish he could teach all my classes. He made dry material interesting and compelling. Final is pretty hard, but aside from that, it's a great class.
