Comment:
Disorganized and doesn't seem to understand what she is teaching. Just brings up random websites and tells us to do what is on them. We learned most of the class from another student that had taken the class at another school.

Comment:
DON'T TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HER. You will have a nightmare as I had. If you missed a class, you will missed a lap and she will give you a hard time to re-do that. She wont answer any questions that you asked her. She goes very fast in class and you wont understand most of the lecture She very very very hard on grade NO extra credit

Comment:
She is a very tough grader! She expects you to work outside of class to understand the material (which you should be doing anyway). She is very open for office hours (although it always conflicts with my schedule). Her sense of humor is great and she has a very fun personality. She can say some rude things at times, but she is actually VERY nice.

Comment:
Dr. Z is awesome, but the material can be tricky to understand. Tests are straight forward and as long as you know your stuff you're good. There's a few projects and lots of labs. Do your homework! Ask her for help if you need it, as she actively encourages the use of her office hours. She may sometimes act like she doesn't care, but she does.

Comment:
Dr. Z is a good teacher. However, you have to do your work and deditcate a lot of time to this class. Its your responsibility to understand the concepts she teachers as well as assignments. Just ask for help and she will help you. Study the book and take time with your homework. Good class but dont expect to sit back and get an A.

Dr. Z is awesome. but tough as nails! Tests are REALLY hard, but if you go to every class and do the HW you should be fine. Also, if you have any personal problems, just let her know, she is very understanding. Thanks again Dr. Z! I'll try not to be so nervous on test days! No promises on quitting smoking thought... (You know who I am, haha!)

Comment:
If the concepts of Digital Circuits come easily to you, she explains things fine. If not, she can seem tough. Might not understand your question the first time. Keep asking - she's trying to help. Can be a little blunt sometimes, which probably sits poorly with students who are having a hard time.

She is not an easy teacher, she will expect you to work. But she is good at explaining the material, more than fair when it comes to grading your work, and does her best to answer questions. Digital is a difficult subject for some people to grasp.

Overall a pretty good professor. She will make you work for your grade, don't expect to get an A without putting effort into the class. She makes you learn the material and collects homework. Open to questions and is very helpful when doing labs. You will know how you are doing in class, dozens of labs and homework assignments and around 5 tests

fun and interesting class. had about 6-7 tests including the final. she thoroughly discussed what to expect on the tests before they were given. also had about 10 book homework assignments and about 35 labs which were helpful on learning the material. class is pretty easy and straight-forward if you have common sense and know how to think.

What a nightmare of a class. Marks things wrong that were correct on exams, does not clarify due dates so if you hand in a project 5 minutes late she will not except it. Does not tolerate being absent even if you know the material. she comes off as rude when you ask for help, and rarely answeres your questions. Student beware!

Comment:
She's a really disciplined professor who expects a lot from her students. I've learned more from her courses than all my other classes in my program combined. Her courses should be worth 4 credit-hours for the amount of information she teaches. If you wish to take her, remind yourself that you're paying for an education. That's what she'll give you

Lots of quizes, make sure you sutdy and take notes in class, sometimes she randomly lets you use notes. She gives extra help and answers all questions, very helpful. However, make sure you keep all of your returned papers, she loses and messes up grades

Comment:
Digital Circuits stole my life... Quiz EVERY class, Tests every other week (but harder than imaginable), Projects every other week (They take about 5 hours to complete). I joined last day of Add/Drop and already missed 2 quizzes and had a project assigned without knowing. Office hours don't really help as she will do circuits without explaining.
